Late in January there was some question in the Redpath- Homer office in Kansas City as to whether or not Mir. Payne had filled a date a a cer- tain town in Kansas in the Lyceum season of 1912-13. MT. Payne was written for the information. Two letters were received in reply--the first one three days ahead of the other. In the first letter he says:
 "I, also, have a record at home of every day by dates, and I will send you in few days the whereabouts of my work in the winter of 12-13. Most of it was spent in the East and Pan anna and Central America, with prob ably two months in Wisconsin. But I can be definite when ' can get hold of my record and shall be glad to do so. l have done almost no work in Kan sas."
 In the second letter, after telling about a date that was filled on Chau- tauqua in Kansas, Mr. Payne goes on to say:
 Now to answer about the winter work. Two days after that lecture, I went East to Pittsburgh and was in Pennsylvania until October 18th. Then in Iowa and Wisconsin, lecturing for schools (about 15 lectures for the schools in Des Moines) until Decem- Der 18th when l again went to Penn sylvania and Washington, D. C., Cleveland, Ohio, and Detroit, Michi- gan, until January 18th. All these lectures were arranged by myself in- dependently Then returned to Wis consin and in January and February gave 32 lectures for the University of Wisconsin. Then first of March, went to Detroit, Michigan, and Pittsburgh for about 10 more lectures and from there to New York City where l gave about b lectures for the Board of Education of New York City, finish ing the series the very last of March. All these lectures, with the exception of the 32 given for the Wisconsin

University were arranged by myself with no manager at all. April 2nd, I
 sailed from New York for Panama and Central America, seeking new lecture material, and was gone about two months"
 Payne has actually spent so much of his time wandering around over the world, that unless he has his date
 book with him, he doesn't know just what years he made certain trips.
 This summer, he is going to tell us
 about trip of his to Mexico, just recently. He is going to give us an opportunity to get first hand infor- nation about the Republics of the South.

USE POWDERED LEAD AR
 SENATE.

Arkansas farmers will need to use lead arsenate to fight the potato bugs this year instead of Paris green be- cause it is only about half as expen- sive. Secure lead arsenate in the powdered form, not in the form of paste. Put it in a very small sack made of cheese cloth or anything else through which the material will dust out. Apply in the morning while the dew is on by shaking the sack of ma terial directly over the plants. A lit tie experience will soon show how much to shake because it only neces- sary that a light cloud of the arsenate of lead settle down on the leaves of the plants. The lead arsenate is poison and should not be left out where animals will have access to it. There is no danger, however, in using it as suggested above Dust the po- tato plants and stop the ravages of the bugs. Watch the patch closely and repeat the dusting when the bugs begin to appear again.

THE HOUSE FLY.

At first thought the fly appears to be very fastidious in it's personal cleanliness. In amazement we have watched it's systematized washings, rubbings and brushings! How can this apparently neat little insect leave such a trail of virulent poisons across our food?
 Let a house fly walk over plate of cold meat which has been boiled and jelied. In few days, springing from each tiny footprint, a growth of bacteria may be plainly seen! Try it it will make you shudder-and think,
 The table may be spotless, the sil- yer handsomely chased, the china of the latest design-the guests may be witty, wise and beautiful, but the house fly, with it's germ-infested feet, makes it banquet of deathl
 By the medical world the house fly has been condemned as being the hlVNN blNt sRiQ Ildillll ul Ol ili Ilibl S foes, carrying death to more human beings than have all the beasts of prey and poisonous reptiles put to- gether.
 What fearful charge! But wait! A member of the United States Pub lie Health Service is authority for the statement that the story of the danger of disease from the house fly has been only half told" Think of it only half told!
 While you are complaining about them, flies are multiplying. Statis- ties showing what mischief they are already responsible for will not serve to rid you of them.
 Be enthusiastic in your active cam paign against these enemies to the family's health and happiness!
 When there has been a real awak- enlng to the perils of the germ-dis- trlbuting dynamo called the house fly, It Is doomed.--Editoria in The Peo- ple's Home Journal for June.

NEW SCHOOL USE OF
 TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS

A recent writer in the civic and country welfare journal "The Sur Vey' describes the latest contribution to the keeping of children on the Iarm' movement. In the country schools of Sauk county, Wis, the children make an inventory of the agrlcultural investment of the town ShlpS m which they live, and each special feature is represented on a topographic map. The results are

In this extensive "s well as intensive educational work which together constitute a social sur Vey of the county, the topographic maps of the United States Geological survey are used as base maps on which to plat the special information gathered.

While political leaders are for one
man or another. for one purpose or an
other, 1T is found that Republicans
seeking success this year want man
of strong Republican CONVICTIONS. a
man of experience in public affairs and
knowledge of the needs of the coun-

Just what is thought of Senator Bur
ton in different parts Of the country
may be seen by the comments of diff
ferent papers of recent date
Says the Olean Evening Times of
New York:
The candidacy of Senator Theodore
E Burton is being pushed with an ener-
sy and viGor by his friends who know
him best and his Washington asso-
clates who know him as legislator
that bid fair to land the nomination
at Chicago. Nos other man now before
the public as a candidate is getting the
favorable comment in this relation as
Senator Burton
The Sioux Falls is. d. state Forum
says:
The Forum believes that for pure
statesmanlike ability, knowledge and
needs of the country and how best to
meet them Senator Theodore E. Bur
ton is the best man of the entire list.
He is right on the tariff, right in his
Americanism, right in his ideas of gov
ernmental service and one of the real
leaders of the country
Wheeling (W- Va.) Intenigencer:
Development of sentiment among
West Virginia Republicans has been
altogether favorable to Theodore e.
Burton As matters now stand he will
undoubtedly have the West Virginia
delegates to the Republican conven-
ton
Asheville IN. CD Citizen:
senator Burton is the logical man
to oppose President Wilson, because
he combines the advantage of repre-
senting both Republican and Progress

the objectionable characteristics that
bar others from leadership"

the church collection for foreign

to something like twenty dollars
Some of the members were absent
and when they have been seen and
have contributed we hope to raise
the amount to twenty-five dollars
Some one has remarked that the
church life may be pretty well
gaueed by two things, first, the per
centaee of the membership attend
ing Sunday School regularly: second
the percentage. of the membership
regularly in attendance at ths
prayer meeting. And to these two
things might be added the amount
regularly contributed by the church
membership per capita, toward thu
spread OF the Gospel.
