"While standing stesdfast on our good

FLIES THAT COME IN
SPRING ARE NEW ONES
Household Pest Does Not Live Through
Winter in Adult Forms, Investiga-
tor Finds; Spring Is the
Time to "Swat EN-"

The house flies that you see in early
spring are not the flies of the preceding
autumn. They are the offspring, not the
survivors of those that sought warm
refuge in the fall The flies that appear
in the spring quickly become reproduc-
tive, and by early summer the baby fly
of few weeks past WI have become n
patriarch with millions of great great
grandchildren. Therefore, swat early.
These facts are presented by United
States department of agriculture scien-
fist. His findings, based on long expert
ments, support the popular belief that a
swat" in the spring saves lot of them
later on. A fly thoroughly swatted when
he is young and comparatively innocent
not only will be unable to carry disease
but will not have very many children
The investigator found that in the lat
itude of Washington, d. G.. the housefiy
may winter by continued breeding in
warm places, where food and reeeptacles
for its eggs are available and in the
early stages of fly life in or under large
manure heaps. No evidence whatever
was found to show that houseflies can
persist, as adults from November to
April, either outdoors or in protected or
heated buildings. Temperatures of II to
Is degrees Fahrenheit are quickly fatal,
and there is every reason to believe that
any temperature below freeing will kill
if continued long enough.

By Edna H. Mccoy of The vigilantes
Now this is the letter I write him,
While my heart is sick with dread;
"You are just where you should be, my

Standing staunch, where your duty
led.
AT home we are we'll and happy,
And cheerful, and proud of our boy,
In this war of the World-laddie--
A soldier son is a joy
"Your father struts, just little,
And sis wears your pin all the while.
While well the star on your Service
Flag,
Brings to my lips smile"
And I write the little nothings,
OF home, that are much, when away,
The funny things that have happened,
Throughout my homely day.
Then ] go and sit by window,
And look to the rising sun,
Where "over seas"--in the trenches
He will fight till the victory's won!

With tesr-wet eyes | sign;

Who is glad her boys in line!"

WOMEN URGED TO HELP
THEIR SISTERS ON FARMS
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Says
They Should Not Try the Heavier
Tasks; Would Have All Men Re-
leased or Driven from
Useless City Jobs.

We have not yet reached the point
where it is necessary for the women gen.
orally to undertake heavy work on the
farms, but they can render important
service in helping to produce big food
crops this year, especially in connection
with the lighter farm tasks. This was
told by Clarence 0usley, assistant sec
rotary of agriculture, in an address to
the women's committee of the council of
national defense, meeting in Washington.
81 can imagine no finer thing" said
Mr.. 0usley, 'for a city woman to do in
this war emergency than to go to the
farm for the harvest or for some other
period of labor strain to nelp her country
sister bear the burdens of kitchen and
farm.
There are thousands of men in the
towns and cities doing things that wom-
en- an do as well. These are men cooks,
men walters, men clerks, men bookkeep-
ers, whose places might well be filed by
women
81 will despise American manhood if
the great body of our men permit our
women to be drafted for the hard tasks
of agriculture until we have sent every
able bodied creature in brooches to the
trenches or driven him to the fields, but
women are to be encouraged, so far as
their physical condition win permit, or
the circumstances surrounding them will
advise, to engage in the lighter tasks of
the farm, particularly in dairy work, in
cultivation and in fruit har-
vesting.'
Mr.. 0usley praised the services of the
700 women home demonstration agents
who are spreading the teachings of the
department of agriculture and the coop
Grating state colleges, and paid tribute
10 the six or seven millions of farmers
wives who ARE doing a mans share of
agricultural production and conserya
ion

Just as soon as the belligerents had
got out of sight in the log and the snake
could finish annexing the rest of the
squirrel, its fangs darted out of knot
hole and sank into the mans foot.

BRITISH "WAR BREAD"
HAS BEEN INDICATED
Tests Conducted in Series of Universities
Caused 1t to Be Stamped with
Approval of Scientists.

London, May 81 Correspondence OF
bread has been indicated and endorsed
by committee of scientists after a Sc
ries of tests conducted in the labora tories
of Cambridge, Glasgow and London uni
versities and in a number of factories
and hospitals.
The committee finds that bread com
posed Of whole wheat -four mixed with
90 per cent of other cereals is not only
suited to all ages and digestions, but also
gives a higher percentage of energy"
The loaves used in the experiments
were baked from -four miled under the
personal supervision of A. 4. HUMPHREYS,
president of the National Association OF
British and Irish Millers. No precaution
was omitted to make the experiments
complete, and every result was worked
out in a series of tables.
AT one factory in Yorkshire, the tests
were applied to group of 20 men, nine
women, and two children. 1t was their
sole bread supply for period of two
months and they were under medical SUI
pervision throughout. In no case did il
cause digestion trouble and in certain
cases health seemed to improve during
its use.
When the mixed bread was tried on
twenty five patients suffering from tu
berculosis it was found that the bread
was preferred by the majority of the
patients, all of whom had more or less
impaired digestion. Most of the patients
gained weight during the period they
were under observation.
The report of the committee says:
''The main fact established is that the
human body can make better use of the
parts of the wheat grain which have
hitherto been discarded than the pigs
and poultry to which these rich and nu-
TRENT by-product of milling have been
given in the past. The country has
gained enormously in food and energy
from the compulsory inclusion in the
loaf of these by-products. The gain can
be expressed in definite terms as an in
crease of LOO billion ealories of energy

ing OF agriculture, especially on the ba.
sis of school credits for home work and
wider use of school buildings for public
meetings are two movements that have
had special stimulus as a result of the
war. The New Hampshire country
school, where 227 pupils engaged in
home garden work added products worth
$s,775 TO the food supply of the district
was unquestionably gaining something
that will be of value after the war
Similarly with the district where pupils
helped to conserve coal by cutting wood
near the schoolhouse which would. in
normal times, have gone to waste.
Using the School for War Propaganda.
Nearly all the schools. country as well
as city, are attempting to utilize as much
of the nations war propaganda as pos
sible, without overlapping and duplcat-
ing effort State educational depart
ments have tried to solve the problem of
using the school medium effectively. In
some states definite time has been set
aside for teaching war issues. The fol-
lowing is the proclamation issued by the
governor of California to the schools:
"To teach that democracy means self
control and self sacrifice and to bring
home more intimately to our people and
our boys and girls, through the medium
of our education system, the purposes
and needs of the national government in
production and conservation of food sup
plies, !, William ID. Stephens, governor of

NO EXCITEMENT
IN DUBLIN REPORTED
Whit Monday Holiday Passed iii Usual
Manner-Calm Seems
Dramatic,

London, May PA total absence in
Dublin OF excitement is reported in all
the dispatches to the morning news
papers from the Irish capital and as far
as known there have been no untoward
incidents in connection with the Sim
Fein arrests anywhere in the country.
There are no outward indications that
anything has happened, is happening or
is about to happen outside irelsnd's or
binary daily routine.
The Whit Monday holiday passed in
the customary manner The horse racing
at Baldoyle and other sporting events
were attended by the usual lively crowds.
Seaside resorts were thronged, as were
the golf courses at Crosden. Nobody
seemed to care about probable new ar
rests or the old ones.
One of the correspondents of the Daily
Mail says the calm is sensational and the
people appear to be unperturbed by the
recent dramatic developments. He adds:
But appearances are deceptive. Dub
lin is not Ireland The constitutional
Nationalists generally meet here and are
not representative of the wild hot-blood-
ed, who gave strength to the Sim Fem.
Moreover, the whole country evidently
is staggered by the sudden action of the
government, and the people hesitate to
commit themselves to any opinion, until
the evidence against those under arrest
is produced"
In the meantime everyone in Ireland
and Great Britain is awaiting production
of the proof of German plot and in
many quarters, it is believed, there ought
not to be any delay in making it public.
The question of Irish CONSUMPTION con
tinues to hold attention. 1t is asserted
that CONSUMPTION has not been abandoned
but that it is held in allegiance pending

WAR WORK IN RURAL SCHOOLS.
Enthusiastic and Successful Drives Have
Been Held.

THE country schools have been render
I ing admirable wartime service. An IN
quiry recently completed by the bureau
of education shows that rural schools
have had enthusiastic and successful
membership drives for the Red Cross,
many counties reporting 100 per cent en-
rollments in the junior Red Cross for in
diyidual schools; that the country
schools have aided materially in the sale
of Liberty bonds, war savings stamps
and war savings certificates and that
these schools have begun to see their pos
sibilities in leading campaigns for food
conservation.
Missouri rural high school reports
sales of bonds and stamps amounting to
S4,2735O, divided as follows: Seniors
(54), 81 sos. 40; juniors 1851, S60775;
sophomores t75), Sl,l0l.75; freshmen
(l27), $3.50. In a New Hampshire rural
school 337 pupils purchased 3,470 thrift
stamps. In a rural school in Oregon
every pupil has taken a pledge to sell
at least $50 worth of war savings stamps.
Jordan school district, Utah, with a
school enrolment of 1869, reports per
capita purchase of stamps of $3.50; one
school in this district, with an enroll
ment of 81, reported per capita pur
chase of S23 Is In Montana, where the
1917 crops were practically failure, and
economic conditions were serious, the
boys and girls of one rural school took
the prize money won by individuals and
by the school at the county fair and gave
it to the Red Cross.
War work in country schools has been
facilitated by such organizations as the
boys and girls home garden clubs, pig
clubs, chicken clubs, corn clubs, etc, and
by the boys working reserve. More re-
