Just 235 years ago Robert Cav
elier, Sieur de la Sale, after a
long and hazardous journey
down the Illinois river, set out
with his fleet of canoes on the
Mississippi. AS he advanced he
noted the site of the future city
of st. Louis, built a fort near the
mouth of the Ohio and erected a
log cabin on the first Chickasaw
bluff, Reaching a point where
the river separates into three
channels flowing into the Gulf
of Mexico, the party separated,
but the whole company assembled
again at a spot near the Gulf,
and there prepared a cross and a
column, affixing to the latter the
arms of France, with the in

Now, Wouldn't That be a Riot.

If the newspaper should some
day print the contents of its
waste basket there would prob
ably be a riot. There would
certainly be trouble in many
homes, arrests in many directions
shot guns in another and trouble
all around. But the patron never
sees the waste basket. he only
glances at the beautifully printed
pages and complains if one letter
is upside down; growls if one
name happens to be wrong; kicks
because his communication
signed Taxpayer" has been
condensed into respectable
English; frowns because the ed
itor did not take his advice
about publicity, telling their
neighbors of their shortcoming,
and is generally disgruntled.
He knows his share of the waste
basket, but if he could look at
the contributions to that re-
ceptacle he would be thankful
for the existence of a man with
intelligence and courage enough
not to print all he knows and to
temper that which he does
print. Elk.

Recipes for Killing Flies.

The United States Govern ment
makes the following suggestion
for the destruction of house flies:
Formaldehyde and sodium salicy-
late are the two best fly poisons.
Both are superior to arsenic.
They have their advantages for
household use. They are not
poison to children; they are con-
venient to handle, their dilution
are simple and they attract the
flies.
A formaldehyde solution of
approximately the correct
strength may be made by adding
3 teaspoonfuls of the con-
centrated formaldehyde solution
commercially known as formalin
to pint of water. similarly,
the proper concentration of
sodium salicylate may be obtained
by dissolving 8 teaspoonfuls of
the pure chemical Ia powder) to
a pint of water.
A container such as shown
above has been found convenient
for automatically keeping the
solution always available for flies
to drink. An ordinary, thin
walled drinking glass is filled or
partially filled with the solution.
A saucer, or small plate, in
which is placed a piece of white
blotting paper cut the size of the
dish, is put bottom up over the
glass. the whole is then inverted
a match placed under the edge
of the glass, the container is
ready for use. As the solution
dries out of the saucer the liquid
seal at the edge of the glass is
broken and more liquid flows
into the lower receptacle. thus
the paper is always kept moist.
Any odor pleasing to man is
: offensive to flies and vice versa,
and will drive them away.
Take five cents worth of il,of
lavender, mix it with the same
quantity of water, put it in a
common glass atomizer and spray
; it around the room where flies
: are. In the dining room spray it
lavishly even on the table linen.
The odor is very disagreeable to
flies but refreshing to most peo-
pie.
: Geranium, mignonette, hell.
otrOpe and white clover are Of
fensive to flies. They especially
dislike the odor of honeysuckle
and hop blossoms.
According to a French scientist
flies have an intense hatred fol
the color blue, Rooms decorated
in blue will help to keep the flies
out.
Mix together one Tablespoonful
of cream, one of ground black
pepper and one of brown sugar.
This mixture is poisonous to flies,
Put in a saucer, darken the room
; nXcept one window and in thai
set the saucer.
To clear the house of flies, burr
pyrethrum powder. This stupi
fies the flies, but they must bt
swept up and burned.

MILLIONS LOANED TO
MEXICO BY GERMANS

WASHINGTON, March 2. 1t hsa
been learned that millions of dollars
ent to Mexico by Germans in the
United States We're partly in the
torm of personal loans" to Mexico
and partly for the purchase of smell
ters wherever available.
The money was sent despite the
warning that such "loans" would not
nave the support of this government
unless arrangements between the
ioaning parties we're approved at
Washington. 1t has also been estab-
lished that instructions thru Won
Bernstorff were sent to German con
su!s covering the handling of pend
ing business ana directed further dis
mantling interned German ships.
The scope of consul orders is in
many respects startling. All tended
to show while at peace with the Unit
ed States, Germany has been con-
stantly plotting hostile acts. Evil
dence has been found of "a German
propaganda behind the Cuban and
Costa Rican revolutions.
