Ed. Romfo has sold his residence on
upper Fifth Avenue to Frank VAN
drovek, of Rogers, who will move to
town in the near future. The price
paid for the house was $4,000 cash.
Mr.. Romfo would like to build for
himself modern bungalow this fall
if he could get permit from the gov
eminent to do so, but it is doubtful
if he can do that as the government
has put a stop to all building over

"Gov." S. J. Doyle was in the city
yesterday afternoon circulating among
his friends here. Mr.. Doyle has been
out on a speaking tour, putting up to
the people facts about these proposed
amendments in a clean cut way, with
out any villihcation or abuse, and
seems to have met with successful
hearing wherever he has been. He
was billed to speak in Valley City last
night but the influenza has put stop
to his speaking tour. The people are
doing lots of thinking these days and
whether they vote for Frazier or
DOYLE they certainly should kill those
amendments which will give the state
chance to raise the bond limit MIL
lions of dollars.

the larger cities of the state to report

night letter. DR.. E. A. Pray, city

Penny POSTAGE Gone in ENGLAND.

Penny postage, which disappeared
at midnight Sunday, June 2, was one
of the great triumphs of peace, and
Succumbed only to the demands of
war. Although the price has gone, the
principle remains, and nothing has
been a truer index to the march of
progress than the penny stamp. Its
first use in 1910 for inland postage
amounted almost to a revolution. That
date fixes the "great divide" between
the old postal systems and the new.
The penny stamp, probably more than
any other influence, exercised power
in holding together the scattered bonds
of kinship and acquaintance through
out the far-fung British empire, and
as a factor in imperial trade it pro-
vided the facilities upon which modern
trading depends.
Many years ago King Edward. then
prince of Wales, said he looked for
ward with hope to the day when every
English-speaking man, In whatever
part of the world he might be, should
be regarded as being as much an Eng.
lishman, SO far as the penny post was
concerned, as If he lived in Kent or
Sussex.

Selection of the Stars in
the Flag of United States

Whatever conclusions may be reach
ed as to the originator of the idea of
selecting stars to represent the states
of the federal union, one thing is GER
tain; and that is that the stars which
adorn the American flag were never
borrowed from the coat of arms of any
American citizen, not excepting that of
George Washington. IT. the first place,
General Washington who, as some au-
thOritieS think, owned the stars select
ed for the purpose, was far from being
the father of his country" in the early
part Of 1?T7, when the Star-SpaEgled
Banner came into being. At that time
the military situation of the country
was at it's lowest ebb, and Washington
was beSet by more than one cabal of
jealous rivaIs. No, our forefathers
who formed this glorious union looked
higher tllan man for symbol of SOW
ereignty, and sought the heavens,
which declare the glory of GCd," for

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER


"Aspergillosis" is the name of a
disease that is fatal to chickens, and
is the result of feeding mOldy grain,
writes Frank L. Pratt, extension poul-
try husbandman, United States depart
ment of agriculture.
1t is especially important that the
farmers and poultry keepers should
protect their chickens by giving them
as sound and sweet corn as possible.
There is practically no cure for this
disease. AS the disease develops there
is a fever, diarrhea, dropping wings,
great depression, suffocatiOn and
death. The symptoms are similar to
those of tuberculosis, and aspergillosis
and tuberculosis are both cases of
what practical poultrymen often term
"going light"
The spores of aspergillosis are usu-
ally introduced by moldy grain or feed
ing the grain in moldy filters of straw.
The fungus most frequently develops
in the respiratory system, mouth and
lungs. To prevent it, feed sound,
sweet grain. Moldy corn is particu-
larly dangerous.
