Let's Begin Fly Swatting Ear ly.

The most effective time to fight is
before the enemy IS ready. Why not
open a swatting campaign before the
fly is ready? That would give a
strategic advantage which would keep
the pests in check.
One can hardly imagine anything
more desirable than atiyless Missouri.
OF course, it is hardly possible to
eliminate all flies, but experiments
have shown that lilies can be elimated
to such n extent that they will be
hardly noticeable.
Flies breed in manure aud other
animal and vegetable waste. BY
elimating these breeding places or by
treating them with substances which
will kill the fly larvae, flies can be
almost entirely eliminated from any
farm or community.
BY starting early, any community
can practically climate the fly NUS
ance but if the fly is given an oppor-
tunity to propagate, determination is
well-nigh impossible. The trouble
with most anti.hy campaigns is that
they are not started until the flies he :
gin to give trouble. Then it is too
late for effective work. Persons and
organizations who are interested in
fly swatting campaigns should apply
to the College of Agriculture, Co.
lumbia, Missouri, for information on
eliminating flies by treating or pro-
tecting their breeding places.

CANCELS LICENSE
OF WHOLESALER

For the first time since the license
ruling went into effect the United
States food administration has found
it necessary to penalize a handler Of
foodstuffs by revoking his license, Food
Administrator r. F. Bicknell learns.
He called attention to the fact We'd
nesday that this action by the food ad-
ministration. which is a warning to
other dealers who have made the prac-
tice of unjustifiably rejecting ship
ments of perishables, will not only eff
feet a saving of large quantities of
food but will be protection for the
honest shipper against the unscrup-
ulous wholesaler and commission mer-
chant.
The penalized firm in this instance
is a wholesale produce firm of Wash
ington, ID. c., which had permitted two
carloads of potatoes to deteriorate
while under it's control.

as Union Pacific, Northern Pacific.
Canadian Pacific, Great Northern and
so on. Losses ranged from 3 to 4
points, there, as well as among the in
dustrials. Copper stocks were dis
posed to be strong in the early trad
ing, but they soon sold down fraction
ally below the previous closing. Ma
rine preferred also lost it's early gain
and sold below 80.
Selling was less urgent in the late
trading until just before the closing.
when the drive against values was re-
newed and additional losses of a point
or more were recorded.
Particular pressure was exerted
against the steel group.

WATER USERS FOR
SMITH POWER BILL

Caldwell. Dec. 12.-By a unanimous
vote the board of directors of the
Boise Payette Water Users associa-
ton at their regular monthly meeting,
which was held in this city yesterday.
expressed confidence in the power bill
recently introduced by Congressman
A. II. Smith and recommended it's
passage. In the discussion Of the bill
the various speakers commented upon
Congressman Smiths zealousness in
constantly eXerting his efforts to serve
his constituents and declared that he
can be depended upon to safeguard
the interest of the settlers. Previous
to Congressman Smiths recent visit to
the state there had been considera BILE
criticism of that section providing for
the lease of power for a period of so
years, but upon his explanation that
the bill also provided approval of the
lease by the settlers before it becomes
effective. the bill was considered with
favor. The bill is offered as an
amendment of section of a law now
operative. The provisions of the
Smith bill are as follows:
section D. InaL whenever ue-
velopment of power is necessary for
the irrigation of lands under any prof.
ect undertaken under the reclamation
law, or any opportunity is afforded
for the development Of power under
such project the secretary of the in
terror, with the approval of the le-
gally organized and acting water users
association, or any associations, under
any such project is authorized to
lease for period of not exceeding 80
years, giving preference to municipal
purposes and to irrigation districts
duly organized under state law, any
surplus power or power privilege, and
the money derived from such leases
shall be covered into the reclamation
fund and be placed to the credit of the
project from which said power is de-
rived; Provided, that no lease shall be
made for surplus power or power priv
ileges as will impair the efficiency or
the irrigation project"

many FAMILIES
IN CALDWELL
HAVE NO COAL
Forty Households Burning
Sagebrush and Oil Ac-
cording to Report of the
Fire Chief.

Caldwell. Dec. 1.-THE gravity of
the coal famine which exists in this
city is shown through the coal survey
which has partially been completed by
o. II. Sovereign. chief of the fire de-
partment. He states that 40 families
in the city are now wholly without coal
and are heating their homes by burn
ing sagebrush and oil.
One thousand and forty three tons
of coal are reported to be stored in this
city, 305 tons of this amount being
held by business firms and 1888 tons
by residences.
1t is estimated that the city is short
of its necessary supply, 1925 tons. One
thousand and thirty-four tons are
needed in the business district and
6a1 tons in the residence district. This
Survey is more than half completed.
and the figures given pertain to the
sections of the city which have been
canvassed.
