In the midst of the malestrom IL
Europe sturdy Switzerland has not
only been able to maintain its neu-
trality, but also to turn it's attention
to finding employment for its citizens
who are suffering from the expense
of keeping up modified army.
Hand-carved wooden toys, farm
sets and the like have long been
made by the peasant both IN Switzer-
land and Germany and of late the toy
industry has been encouraged in
Switzerland and various orgaaiza-
tions have been formed to boom it
and arrange for foreign shipment,
many orders having been already fill
ed for England and France and now
they are aiming to supply the Unit
ed States with what is needed as
we'll.

THE FLY NUISANCE.

Public sentiment has made excel
lent progress in regard to the fly
pest. Many of us can remember from
our childhood how Indifferent peo-
pie were to this plague. They &C
cepted it as one of the trifing annoy
.ances of life, to be ignored by all sen
sible people. To fret bacause Of the
attacks of insects was regarded as q
sign Of childishness and lack of self
control.
1t was more customary in those
days to build stables quite near hous
es. In many places the fashion pre-
vailed of attaching them directly to
dwellings, sometimes connected with
a woodshed or carriage house. No
good reason appeared for this proX-
unity, except possibly that on a stor.
my day the owner could go out to his
beasts without getting wet, very
poor excuse for thoroughly unde-
sirable arrangement.
The result was that perfect swarms
of flies, attracted by animal refuse,
would swarm in such places and
plague a whole neighborhood. Peo-
pie would stand the nuisance all day.
Perhaps at night to get little relief,
they would organize fly driving
campaigns, and pursue the little YER
min with feather busters, brooms,
and newspapers. After about an
hour the flies would be as thick as
ever, having crawled out from their
places of refuge. 1t would be dis
gushing sight today to see them feed
ing on our food at table as they used
to do SO freely.
A well screened house is accepted
now as one of the essentials of COM
fort. Summer hotels and boarding
houses that don't provide this essen
tial must not expect to see many
guests return for a second vacatiC>.
AS long as flies were regarded as a
mere annoyance, it was we'll enough
to maintain spartan indifference. Now
that everyone knows that they are a
carrier of disease, it is an
other matter. Property owners should
have a care how they build stables
near dwellings, and should reduce thu
fly breeding conditions as low as pos
sible.

A Skunk Visits Polls.

Jefferson Beetle Dawson town
ship voting place is in the town hall"
at the Center, which was the old
school house. When the election
board opened up last Monday NOR
ming they found the room in posses
sion of fine large healthy striped
backed skunk, together with all the
Entertainments, appurtenances and
trimmings thereunto belonging un %
his skunk-tanic majesty. The board
withdrew to a distance of umpsteen
hundred feet to the south by south
ives. and held a council for war,
whereupon Capt. Sutton aud General
A. A. Arnold were provided with pre-
Iaredness and told to capture or kill
the animal. Gen. Arnold, with shrewd
democratic forethought, agreed 20
kill the beast providing Capt. Sutton
would drive him out into the open.
On the face of the Generals proposal
this looked like the easiest job TO
Capt. Sutton, but, upon actual ex-
perience, he found that the plan
landed him at the wrong end" But
nevertheless having made a bad bar
gain Capt. Sutton stayed with the
beast and helped" him toward the
General with sundry and divers
pokes, prods and pecks with a broom
stick, to all of which the defendant
duly excepted. Upon reaching the Vi
entity of General Arnold the skunk
performed a series of centrifugal
stunts that caused the general not
only TO shed tears but to wish for
gross of pulmotors and seven gas
helmets. 1t required several chops
of the Generals 20 foot scantling to
bring the beast to terms, but the job
was finally accomplished to the sat
isfaction Of the allied forces. after
which there were three "burials."
This story, so cleveriy told us by An
ditor Bart McCully, would never have
leaked out had it not been for certain
very clear, distinct and well marked
aromatic signs lowering over the
sack which brought in the primary
returns yesterday. Bart says that
Dawson's very light vote can be at
tributed to the morning fracas, as
Capt. Sutton informed him that sew
enty-five voters, who came to the
town hall, stopped at the door and
refused to enter and cast their bal
lots The whole matter is regretable
in view of this being the first presi-
dental primary, as it may lead pessi-
mistic people to conclude that ALL
politics are rotten.

WHAT HELPS A TOWN.

The Democrat of Grundy Center
recently published a story which il
Illustrates admirably the value of good
highways to town and how one town
gained a distinct advantage over a
rival town. Here is what the Demo-
crat editor says:
"a farmer who lives closer 20
Grundy Center than he does to Ell
dora, but who does all of his bank
ing and shopping in Eldora, was in
one of our local banks a few days ago
ed This farmer had had an account
with this bank before and the bank
er asked him why he didn't do this
part of his business here continually.
The farmer said he was very well
satisfied with the treatment he had
received from the bank, but said they
had gotten into the habit of driving
to Eldora to do most of their trad
ing and that it was handler for him
to do his banking in the same town
where they bought their goods. He
said it was farther from his place to
Eldora than it was to Grundy Center
but that they preferred to drive the
extra distance because the roads
leading into that town were kept up
better and that Eldora had paved
streets and his family could get out
of their buggy or car there without
soiling their clothes. The influence
that good roads and paved streets
have on this farmer is an influence
that is felt by dozens of other farm
ors who should do their business in
this town but do not because con-
ditions are not here what we should
make them. The roads leading TO
any town are a trade drawer or
trade repeller as their condition may
be.
"A dilapidated road leading into
and in town impresses those vino
drive over it about the same as a bro.
ken down sidewalk in front of a
house you may want to call at. You
call at house of that kind onlygwhen
it is absolutely necessary and out
siders drive into town for the same
reason when the rods leading into
it are generally as bad as they can
be.
Good roads and good streets are
not the only trade drawers for any
town, but they are at the top of tie
list"
