Fly SKATERS Out OF Date.

Good suggestions as to getting
rid of the fly and the mosquitoes.
Flies are everywhere and are o.
great danger to our good health.
They are always annoying lis and
carrying diseases they can
easily be controlled and your homes
may be kept clear of these pests.
Flies breed in filth and if their
breeding places are attacked there
will be no reason for us to have to
The fly leaves his breeding place
and flies directly to food, conveying
on his feet germs of typhoid, tuber-
culosis, dysentery and many othe'
diseases.
Don't "Swat the Fly" Go after
his breeding place and throw on pure
insect powder, ground from Closed
Flowers so termed because the
flowers are just about to blossom or
open. The Oleo-resin, the source Of
the insect-icidal properties has at
this stage reached its greatest de-
velopment.
Mosquitoes are as easy, if not
easier to control than the fly
Mosquitoes carry malaria and many
other diseases. So after them with
a pure, well ground insect powder.
Insect Powder ground from pure
closed Dalmatian Flowers is the best
preventative of insect pests and is
harmless to mankind and domestic
animals. Do not have diseases
around you.

PLEDGES TO AID
STATE ROADS.
Tells Governor Harrington Way Will
Be Found.

Tells Governor Harrington Way Will
Be Found.
Governor Harrington called on
President Wilson by appointment
Monday afternoon to discuss with
him the necessity for Federal aid to
repair and maintain the highways of
Maryland, which have been ruined
by the army trucks.
After the Governor had made his
statement, which he fortified by re-
ports from Chairman Zouck, of the
Highways Commission, as well as
the reports of the army officers
whom acting Secretary Crowell,
during Secretary Bakers absence in
Europe, detailed to inspect the
roads, Mr.. Wilson told Governor
Harrington that he would confer
with the Secretary of Agriculture
Houston under whose Jurisdiction is
the administration of the Federal
roads law, and also ask Secretary of
War Baker to ascertain what the
government could do under existing
legislation to meet the present
emergency and to learn if new legis-
lation were indispensable.
President Wilson thoroughly
agreed with Governor Harrington
that the government should do it's
share toward repairing the damage
it has done. He is familiar with the
Smith-France bill and has learned of
the strong sentiment in Congress
back of the measure. He assured
Governor Harrington that some
means would be found to repair the
roads without throwing the entire
burden upon the state.

i. The Third Liberty Loan.

The campaign for the Third Lib
erty Loan has closed with some H.
100000 Americans purchasing over
$4,0O0,OO0O00 of bonds.
Hundreds of thousands of indi-
vidual citizens, thousands of corpor-
atoms and associations, and practi-
cally every newspaper and bank in
the country gave literally Of their
time, space, effort, and money to
make the loan a success. The
response of the people of the country
was commensurate with the appeal
made to them.
One great feature of the loan is it's
wide distribution. The farmers Of
the country, the people living in
rural communities, in the small
towns and villages, not only sub
scribed literally to the loan but sub
scribed promptly. In fact, to a very
great extent rural communities were
earlier in making up their quotas
than the larger cities. Secretary
McAdoo we'll calls this wide distri-
button of the loan among the people
the soundest financing in the world.
The sale of the Liberty Loan
Bonds is only one-half of the tran
saction. The Government IN selling
the bonds is collecting money from
the people. From now on until the
bonds are finally called in and paid
for the Government will be disburs-
ing money to the people. 1t is going
to be of incalculable benefit not only
to the individual bondholders but to
the country at large that these
annual interest payments and the
final payment of the bonds are going
to be widely distributed among the
body of the people, not paid only to
large financial institutions, nor paid
in large amounts to the jewellers in
cities, nor paid to banks and other
corporations, but paid to individual
citizens, the rank and file of the
American people.
The Liberty Loan is going to prove
a great national blessing to the Ma
ton and to the people of the Nation.
Though it is to be enforced against
our enemies the irresistible might of
this invincible Republic, bringing
victory to America and her allies
and that liberty and justice and
civilization which they are lighting
for.
1t is a great bond between the
people and the Government, great
bond uniting in one great effort all
of our people. and bringing economy
and saving and prosperity to millions
of American homes.

Those War Gardens.

There have been several inquiries
from War Garden contestants as to
the dimintions of one-sixteenth of
an acre, the size of minimum entry.
One-sixteenth of an acre contains
302 II square yards, which could be
laid out as square with TIE yards
to each side.
Another question shows that some
contestants are not clear as to the
condition that the yield from their
gardens, in order to be counted, must
be either "sold or else stored and
put away for home use." Obviously,
the judges could not figure how
much each contestant eats from
time to time, yielding to the tempta-
ton of a luscious crop. But all
appetites will no doubt work out at
about the same amount, so that no
injustice will be done by ignoring
that amount-which is the only
thing that can be done. Many COM
petitors will reserve a slice of their
gardens for their own immediate
use, reserving the rest to meet the
conditions of the Contest.
Several editors have entered the
War Garden contest. Frank Kent,
of The Baltimore Sun, editorally de-
clares that gardening has got soli-

ceipts in the current fiscal year end

the Government, mainly in taxes, for
prosecution of the war. These esti-
mates, reported to the Senate by
Secretary McAdoo in compliance
with request for specific infor-
nation throwing light on future
revenue needs, show that about one
third the expense of the war this

two-thirds by Liberty bonds.

$2,775,1S5,0O0 will be collected on
the basis of income and excess profits

PENSACOLA GOES
OVER THE TOP
IN HOSPITALITY

Lewis II. Brown, district represen-
tative of the war department for the
commission on training camp actiyi-
the entertainment of service men. He
praises the city above all other towns
in the United States.
Mr.. Brown, who is on a tour Of in
spection of his district, which IN
cludes Florida. Alabama, Mississippi
Louisiana and Tennessee, spent yes
terday in Pensacola comforting with
the executive committee of the War
Camp Community Service and learning
just how things are done here.
Considering the relative size Of the
city and the number of service men,
Mr.. Brown said, there is no doubt
that no city renders the Service which
Pensacola does to the soldiers and
sailors. There are larger clubs in some
cities, but when the ratios are con-
sidered, the club work, the regularity,
and the good management of the
dances, the program at the navy yard
and the post and the general entertain
ment can not be beaten.
II am here particularly to look into
the needs for the next year so that a
recommendation may be made to the
nationak budget committee, and be-
heve that adequate provision will be
made. Certainly the dances, the en-
tertainments, the work Of the women
and the good food furnished at the
Army and Navy club top anything I
know of in this country
