MOSQUITOES ALWAYS A PEST
Complaints About "New Jersey Ca
nary" by No Means Confined to
Modern Times.

: 1t is natural to assume that certain
pests belong, in their deadly perfec-
ton, to modern times only. But such
is not the case with mosquitoes. Ac-
cording to an expert of the department
Of agriculture, who is held to be the
foremost authority on what is some
times called the New Jersey canary"
his researches indicate that the inhab-
itants of ancient Greece were ome
times forced to abandon their dwell
ings to avoid the attacks of mosqui-
toes. The citizens of Monte, a rich
city of Ionia, fled from the mosquitoes
of Mileta, and Permamo, a beautiful
city in Asia Minor, was abandoned for
the same reason
Sapor, king of Persia, was COM
PEELED to raise the siege of Nisibis by
a plague of gnats. Humboldt says that
In certain regions of South America
the inhabitants pass the night buried
In sand, which covers them to the
depth of three or four inches, leaving
out only the head. which is protected
by a cloth.
There is even a mosquito story
which had the hardwood to attack the
~veracity of George Washington, or
possibly that of a contemporary tour
ist. Isaac Weld, in his Travels
Through North America" says In ref
erence to Skenesborough, N. Y, that
mosquitoes were very ferocious and
plentiful there.
General Washington told me-" he

America as in Skenesborough. They
used to bite through the thickest boot"
Now the boots OF those days were very
thick and mosquitoes were probably.
so far as structure goes, pretty much
as they are today. Moreover. the Fa-
Their of His Country could not lie; but
perhaps Mr.. Weld could, or, more prob
ably, one Of the gentlemen may have

Underneath, in a masculine hand,
was written, "Isobel Newton, Business
Woman" Her cheeks scorched sud-
denly at the scorn she felt 1t implied.
Then the hot blood receded till it left
her cold and still. So that was the
way he thought of herl "Isobel New

the flush of shame, succeeded by bitter
anger at herself. Why should she be
ashamed of what she WASH She had
always been proud of her success. And
now, merely because Austin Stafford
had scrubbed that silly bit below her
picture, she felt as guilty as though
she were a criminal.
A hitherto unknown WEAKNESS as
sailed her. She turned and walked
uncertainty out of the room, across the
hall, and into her now orderly office.
The rows of technical books, the
filing cabinets. every evidence of her
modern methods seemed to press upon
and choke her as she looked at them.

timony to the success with which she
had met the events which came into
her affairs, yet to her it now seemed
q hopeless tumble of things that did
not compensate. After all, a well-kept
office and a smart boarding place were
inadequate when it came to satisfy the
soul need of a woman.
With the realization came tears
the tears which Isobel had denied her
self through all the years of her
struggle, and they washed away all
the barriers she had rigidly erected
around her heart. She knew that she
had failed in the big thing of life. and
failure was not sweet.
After some moments she raised her
head and grimly wiped away the last
tear, and saw before her Austin Stat
ford.
His poise deserted him as he ad-
dressed her.
"Isobel-I-I-tell me. dear. what
Is the matter?"

red eyes are not well teamed, so to the
eager man 1t sounded merely pitiful.

CLOSE STORES.
/ SAY DIRECTORS
Closing Should be Spread
Throughout the Week is
Urged However.

All merchants Of the city are urged
to&close their stores on one afternoon
during the state fair in order to per-
NIT their employees to visit the big ex-
position, but the closing of all the
stores on the same afternoon is dis
ceuraged In resolutions passed this
afternoon by the board Of directors of
the M~eichantsi Credit association.
The Simultaneous closing of the
stores is discouraged, as 1t is felt that
it weuld work q hardship on, many
people who plan to do their shopping
in connection with their visit to the
fair.
The. text Of the, resolution follows:
Resolved, that 1t is the sense OF
this meeting that all merchants should
so arrange their business that their
employees may. have one,or two after
o in which to. visit the State Fair,
but%that no concerted action with
reference to closing Of stores is ad-
visable, as the closing Of all stores al
one time might result in inconveni-
ence to many people who come from
a distance to attend the fair and who
wish. at the same time to do some
shopping at the stores"

He wasn't beaten when he walked

the sake of argument, Willard wasn't
actually defeated until. ten seconds of
what would have been the fourth

II have been asked by many per-

stopped in the fourth. Pecord has
made a sad mistake and has burned

IS DISPLAYED
Members of Board Will Be
Chosen on Saturday of
& This Week

While interest in the school board
election taking place here next Satur-
day has been thought rather apathetic
during the last fe wdays, it is now
said that citizens generally are De-
ginning to realize the importance Of
bearing upon the development Of edu-
cauonal plans here for some time to
come.
The present board consists Of the.
following members: l. O.. Lystad,
president; George A. Noonan.s clerk;
Thomas Powers. ~treasurer;\ Joseph
Croy, James E. O'Leary and A. J..
Noyes, directors.
MI. Noyes was appointed to fill
the unexpired term Of the late Lewis
e. Flint a few weeks ago and now
seeks election Is q member Of the
board: no opposition is offered to
him. L. o. Lystad and Thomas Pow
ers, who have been members Of the
school board for upward Of fourteen
or fifteen years. are candidates for
reelection, with Paul johnson. as
sistant cashier Of the First state
bank, running in opposition.
Important Work Ahead. &
AS is the case in all elections. senti-
large number Of citizens take the view
that the present board should be left
undisturbedt for the reason that much
important work, the details, Of which
it is acquainted with. remains to be
done. It was pointed out this after
noon that present members Tx thor
eughfy familiar with the plans for the
rebuilding Of the high school. and:
that it might entail a loss of time and
effort to put new men in charge.
On the other hand. it was asserted
that a reorganization of the school.
board would mean that construction
work would be wen more vigorously
and systematically pushed ahead. It
Is felt in some quarters that the in
fusion Of new strength into the board
OF education would work good. and

Tourists Giuen
Enjoyable Trip
Through Canada

A number of Grand Forks people
who took in the tour through western
Canada, conducted by Government
Agent W. e. Black of the Canadian
Office located here, returned to- the
city very recently, and were accom-
panied by r. Westcott, immigration
agent for the Grand Trunk Pacific
railway, over which road the tour was
taken. Mr.. westcott spent the day at
the Canadian exhibition booth station,
in this city, and expects to be there
for a few days longer.
According to members Of the COM
pany. who have just returned from
the tour, an unusual trip was enjoyed
through some Of the most picturesque
parts of western Canada. A special
train which formed at Winnipeg. took
the party over the Grand Trunk Pa
cific road. as far west as Prince
Rupert. B. c., and from there the
party went by boat along the western
coast as far south as Seattle. where a
visit to the fisheries completed the
route of the~trip. y
