LET'S BEGIN TO SWAT
'EM EARLY THIS
SEASON

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 strate-
gic advantage which would keep the
pest ia check.
One can hardly imagine anything
more desirable than hyless com
munity. OF course, it is hardly posi-
bic to eliminate all flies. but expert
ments have shown that flies can be
eliminated to such an extent that they
win be hardly noticeable.
Flies breed In manure and other ami
NAL and vegetable waste. by ellmlnat-
ing these breeding places or by treat
ting 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 eliminate the fly nui-
sanCe but If the fly Is given an Oppor-
tunity TO propagate, determination Is
well-nigh impossible. The trouble with
most ant-hy campaigns is that they
are not started until the flies begin
to give trouble. Then it is too late for
effective work

refusal TO divorce her husband. the IN.
derStanding had been reached by
which the management of Las Palmas
was placed absolutely in her hands.
OF course the truth became public,
rs 1t always does. young Ed" Aus
tins life became a scorn and kissing
among his neighbors. They were not
unduly fastidious, these neighbors, and
they knew That hot blood requires more
than n generation to cool but every
thing Ed did outraged them. In trying
to show their sympathy for his wife
they succeeded in wounding her more
deeply, and Alaire withdrew into her
self. She had changed. The alteration
reached 10 the very bone and marrow
Of her being. At first the general pity
had wounded her. then it had offended,
and finally angered her That people
should notice her affection, particu-
larry when she strove so desperately
to hide it, seemed the height o. inso-
lence.
The management Of Las Palmas gas
almost her only relief. Having sprung
from family of ranchers, the work
came easy, and she grew to like it--as
well as she could like anything with
that eve-preSent pain In her breast.
Las Halmas had prospered to admira-
ton, and La Feria would have pros
pered equally had 1t not been for the
armed unrest Of the country across the
border. no finer stock than the "B0x
Az was to be found anywhere. But
Alaire had not confined her efforts to
cattle; she had improved the breed Of
BOX A" horses, too, and hand In hand
with this work she had carried on a
series OF agricultural experiments. For
instance, she had started a grove OF
paper-shelled peCans, which was soon
due to bear; the rancnhouse and its
clump Of palms was all but hidden by
forest Of strange trees, which were
reported to ripen everything from
mothballs TO bicycle tires. Blaze Jones
was perhaps responsible for this re-
port, for Alaire had shown him sew
eral thousand eucalyptus saplings and
some ornamental rubber plants.

table. Tonight, Ed was Mt home. 1t
was with a grave preoccupation that
she made herself ready to meet him.
IN the dining room, Ed acknowl-
edged his wife's entrance with a care
less nod. but did not trouble to re-
move his hands from his pockets. AS
he seated himself heavily at the table
and with unsteady fingers shook the
folds from his napkin, he said:
'You stayed longer than you intend

-Four days" Alaire told him, real
izing with q little inward start how
very far apart she and Ed had drifted
She looked at him curiously for an in
slant, wondering if he really could be
her husband, Or--if he were not some
peculiarly disagreeable stranger.
Ed had been handsome boy, but he
was growing fat from drink and soft
from idleness; his face was too full,
his eyes too sluggish; there was an
unhealthy redness in his cheeks. In
contrast TO his wife's semi-formal
dress, he was Observation-Disclosures and
soIled. His preparations for dinner
this evening had been Enthusiastically
simple; he had drunk three dry cock
tails and flung his sombrero into a cor

drinker at all times. What little ex-
ercise he took was upon the back of a
horse, and, as no one knew better than
his wife. the physical powers he once
h0l were rapidly deteriorating.
By and by he inquired, vaguely !:

Il went up to look over the Ygnacio

That's the trouble" Alaire told
him. You stand too well-so well
that I want to get my stock out of

Ed shrugged carelessly. "Sult your
self; they're your cows"
The meal went on with a desultory
flow Of small talk. during which the
husband INDUCED his thirst freely.
Alaire told him about the accident
to her horse and the unpleasant ordeal
she had suffered in the mesquite.
