BUILDING GIANT FLY TRAPS
Schoolboys Make Device Which Will
Catch Half a Million Disease
Spreaders in Season.

Fly traps that will catch 100000, or
80 quarts of flies in a season will be
built this spring by some of the boys
IN the Grand avenue manual train
ing center. Irving p. Lorentz, the in
structor, is making q model, and will
soon have some of the boys construct
ing the device as Il side line. accord
ing to the Milwaukee Journal.
"A square framework is made of mar
row strips of wood, and within the
fralne is placed Il cone of wire NET
ting. In the model of Mr.. Lorentz an
ordinary glass jar is used in place of
the wooden frame. A banana peel or
similar refuse is placed as a bait at
the bottom of the trap. When the
trap is crowded with flies, they can be
killed by dipping the filed trap into
boiling water.
The idea is excellent" Mr.. Lorentz
said. 1.-THE construction is simple, so
that seventh or eighth grade boys
should easily be able to make it. At
the same time it is inexpensive, the
cost Of materials probably moi exceed
ing SO cents. If all the centers encour-
aged the making of these trans. It
would prove a most effective weapon
against the fly. Such Il trap would kill
OFF the flies before they even got into
the homes"

FARMING now
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

! A nationwide cry is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never vas the need of
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
tons history and today the agricul-
turnl fields of America offer induce
ments that are %unequaled in any other
line of or business. The
ideal life is that close to nature, en-
ioying the freedom OF Gods great out
doors and fulfilling Il duty to human
ity by producing from n fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
istence of a less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stvfIS that can be produced s. eco
n%omically In the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grain, undoubt-
eddy, will be maintained for u number
Of years, and it appears Il certainty
that the agriculturist will reap a
bounteous return for his labor and at
the Same time carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to Life on the Farm" 1t has been,
to a large extent, considered as only
a place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely a comfortable existence. Such
q wrong impression has been created
in a measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming In
general. But today farming aud agri-
culture have been given a supremacy
In the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce. In no other bust
ness does a system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and it is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that, generally speaking. needs it as
much. The old idea OF getting q living
Off the farm and not knowing how it
was made and following up the details
of each branch of farming to get the
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
a business and u living Is not sufficient
for the modern agricultnrist; Il small
!! per cent on the investment is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have a percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, bur the
cost of producing has been the factor,
in many places, that has reduced the
profit. 1t is the application of a sys-
! TEN to the cost of various work on the
farm that it is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-growing in
Western Canada.

from the small space
given to the dispatch, it had come
in too late to permit Of its being
displayed largely.
There was, it said, a house with
the red-lacquered balcony on the
road, as Mary Leslie had
described it.
There was a Portuguese, Charlie
by name, who owned it, and now,
since the opium trade had been
discontinued, conducted it as al
The Portuguese was not rich in
details. His memory was vague.
But he remembered q wild Ameri-
can named Gardner and q woman
who used to be seen with him. He
did not know whether they were
married.
There had not been time, when
the cablegram was written, to
make any other investigation, in
the official records or elsewhere,
regarding the alleged marriage.
BE was reading the dispatch for
the third time when a bellboy
brought him a note. The envelope
had not been stamped. It had been
left, late the night before, the boy
explained, with directions that it
should be delivered to him early
in the morning.
On a sheet Of notepaper was
written:
You are your own tomorrow.
It was signed Edith Mallon.
His brain reeled. The memory
Of her standing in the doorway,
the fragrance Of her hair the day
she had stood close to him on the
edge of the river, the thought of
her brave sweetness-these things
came as a blessed relief from the
momentary but deep depression he
had felt after reading the cable
gram from Shanghai. He got UP
and raised one Of the windows so
that he might breath the fresh air.
He drank it into his lungs in great
gulps. A group Of photogra-
pliers stood on the pavement be-
low, waiting for snapshots of him
as he started to his office on what
everybody regarded as the deci-
siye day in his career. He under
stood some of that.
He thrust Edith's note into his
pocket and put on his overcoat
and hat.
AS he left the room, he was
forcing through his brain the tri-
sumphant thought: This is the
day This IS the fight!"
It was as if he called his own
soul to arms.
Once ii his Office, he became the
storm center Of the country's po-
itical thought that day. Waller,
with both hands full Of kilograms,
met him in the reception room.

tanned Sims az his aide and openly en-.
couraged the investigation into Sims
charges. This Investigation, by the
way. bore out the truth Of the com.
manders assertions and resulted in
some badly needed reforms being en-.
acted in the navy.
Sims managed to keep out Of fur
ther turmoil until the spring OF 1916.
when he attacked the seniority system
in the navy. He told the house naval
affairs committee that the naval Of
ficer who did nothing but ride around
in motor car on shore stood just as
much chance Of promotion as the Of
ficer who spent his time upon the sea
and in study. Promotion by selection,
as advocated then by Secretary Dam
iels, was approved by Sims. who said
the navy's adnirals were too old and
inefficient. Again Sims won out. but
only after he had been made the target
for much abuse by fellow officers
whose soft snaps" were imperilcd.
Criticized the German Navy.
Hardly two months elapsed before
Sims drew another official reprimand.
The officer. then captain, had been
detailed to make n report on the naval
battle between the British and Ger
mans off the coast Of Jutland. Sims
went into the strategy Of the two fleets
and severely criticized the Germans
conduct in the battle and accused them
OF withdrawing when they had the
larger force and the advantage In the
fight. Secretary Daniels compelled Sims
to rcwrite a portion of the report. elm
mating the more critical passages.
Despite the stormy career Of the rear

TAFT REPRlMANDS
President Forced to Disci-
pline Officer but Compli-
ments Him at Same Time.

The English had more than one rca
son for extending an ardent welcome
to Rear Admiral William s. Sims
heading the commission Of American
naval officers which recently arrived
in London. In the first place Sims IL
rated as one of the greatest naval
strateg'sts in the world. In the sec.
ond place, he endeared himself to Brit
ish hearts by a speech in London some
seven years ago that brought him 2
reprimand from Prcsidcn. TAFT. This
incident is known in naval and dip!o-
matte annals as Sims blood is thicker
than water Speech" and It caused n
stir in the foreign office Of virtually
every power Of any consequence.
Sims was commander of the battle
ship Minnesota when the London
speech was made. A banquet was be-
ing given to the officers Of the Amer.
can fleet then in English waters. Tho
lord mayor Of London extended a well
come and Sims delivered the reply.
There always has been some difference
Of opinion as to the exact text of this
reply. Some have stated Sims pledged
every man. every drop of blood, every
ship and every dollar In the United
States" to the aid of Great Britain in
the event the latter country became
engaged in a war with any other ma
ton. According to Sims version, and
he is supported by tho other American
naval officers present at the time. nc
merely ventured this assertion as his
opinion.
The diplomats of several Of the larg-
CT nations, Germany in particular. let
II be known to the American govern
ment that Sims speech was offensive
10 their rulers. The Irish and German
societies OF the United States adopted
resolutions asking the president to call
for Sims resignation at once. British
newspapers applauded the command
cr's rather frank words as an evidence
of the cordial spirit existing between
the United States and Great Britain.
A Reprimand and Tribute.
President Taft was put in a difficult
position. Sims was one of the most
promising officers in the navy. an OK
pert on warship construction and big
gun fire and he had high social con-
nections, too. having married the
daughter of Ethan Allen Hitchcock.
secretary Of the interior under Nc
kinley and Roosevelt. Mr.. Taft set
tied the matter finally by writing a
rcprimand, which was also 4 tribute.
While the president retukcd the COM
mandcr for his indiscrction, the exccu-
tive also praised him for what he had
accomplished in naval work.
1t was not the first time. nor the
last. that Sims was called to account
by official Washington. In 1905, while
Sims was President Roosevclt's naval
aide, he sharply criticized the battle
ship construction, the method of pro-
motion Of officers and the marksman-
ship of the American navy. His state
mcnts created n row that involved
nearly all of the ranking officers Of the
navy and the senate naval affairs COM

himself in this affair and Roosevelt
