School Children
Should Fight 'Em

The schools must help in the cam
'paign against flies. Each of the vari-
Gus grades should take a particular
part of the work, says a writer in the
International Harvester company bull
letin. Let one grade canvass the town
and enlist the groceries, meat shops,
restaurants and householders In q
movement to clean up alleys and back
yards, provide for proper disposition
OF garbage and for sanitary outhouses.
Another grade might make fly traps
and sell them to the various grocers
and butchers for use at their places of
business and to the city authorities for
use in public places. That vas done
successfully in Holland, Mich, last
year.
Still another grade may collect all
the information which can be secured
on the subject of flies. All grades
may write compositions on THE Fly"
THE F1y's Travels" Confessions OF
a Fly" Dangers of a Housefy." and
similar subjects. Prizes may be Of
fered for the best essay from each
grade.

BOY CHARGED WITH MURDER
FIfteen-YearoId Lad Accused of Kill
inq Montana Rancher-State's
Evidence Circumstantial.

Red Lodge.-A ~15-year-old boy, Err
nest Arnold, of Bear Creek, a coal
camp seven miles east of here, has.
been formally charged with the muir
der of Charles Steiner, a bachelor
rancher whose frozen body was found
in a coulee on his farm, 20 miles
southeast of here, on Jan. II. Although
the youth disclaims any knowledge of
the crime, the county authorities a
they have woven a web about him.
The boy was arrested at the home Of
his grandparents, who have a farm ad-
Joining the Steiner ranch. Steiner was
killed with a 80 caliber rifle. The boy
admitted that he had been hunting on
New Years day with a gun of that cali
Der which was found in the home of his
grandparents. Also a pair of overshoes
were discovered in the cabin. These
shoes, the officials say, are the same
size of those whose tracks were found
around the body of Steiner.
Another circumstance upen which
the county attorney relies is that
Steiner was in Bear Creek on New
Years day. He made some purchases
and returned home in the afternoon.
The things he had bought were found
in his cabin unopened. This leads
the authorities to believe that Stein
er was shot to death a short time az
ter he had returned to his ranch. An
empty shell found a few feet from
Steiner's body is identical to some
shells loaned the boy by a shepherd
er a day or two before New Years.

Flies Diminish the Milk

Cows seriously annoyed by flies do

much milk as they would ordinarily. It
is to the advantage of farmers and 9th

from flies this summer. 1t can be done
quite simply. In the first place, spray
each animal with a mixture composed
of three parts fish oil and one part
kerosene. Apply it with a small spray
pump. Secondly, keep the stable and
barnyard as free as possible Of man.

Reports are already coming to the

army cutworm which caused serious
loss of winter wheat last year is again
doing damage. Reports of serious win
ter-killing of wheat are also coming to
us. Farmers are urged, therefore, to
examine their winter wheat fields at

out or is being destroyed.
Look very carefully in the grain
fields for plants that have been eaten
by worms and search for the small
worms from a half-inch to an inch in
length with the usual cutworm appear
ance. They are more easily found in
the late afternoon.
To distinguish between cutworm in
jury and winter-killing, it should be
borne in mind that winter-killing has
already been done and that cutworm
injury is just beglA~ing. There should
be no difficulty in naking certain of
the cause Of the dana &c if individual
plants are closely examined. The
worms eat off the top of the plant,
while if killed by the severe winter,
the entire plant is there, but with

anything to them about it, | made a
big pot of Postum the first morning.
Before the meal was half over,
each n passed up her cup to be re-
filled, rema-king how fine the coffee
was. The mother asked for a third
cup and inquired as to the brand of
coffee | used. | didn't answer her
question just then, for | heard her say
a while before that she didn't like Pos
tum unless it was more than half
coffee.
After breakfast | told her that the
coffee she liked so we'll at breakfast
was pure Postum, and the reason she
liked it was because it vas properly
made.
Il have been brought up from a
nervous, wretched invalid, to a fine
condition of physical health by leav
ing off coffee and using Postum.
