SUITABLE SPRAY FOR FLIES
Mixture Suggested by Iowa State
College VIII Keep Of PestIf-
erous Little Insects.

The Iowa State College experiment
station suggests the following mixture
as being suitable for spraying dairy
Gov for flies:
Four and One-half quarts of coal tar
dip. four and one-half quarts Of fish
OIL, three quarts of coal oil, three
quarts Of whale oil. one and one-half
quarts Of oil OF tar. Dissolve three
pSuods Of laundry soap in water, add
the Ingredients Of the spray, and bring
the whole up to thirty gallons with
lukewarm soft water.
This spray will keep off the flies
and prevent the coats of the animals
from becoming harsh. The cows should
be sprayed twice a day-in the morn
ing after milking and in the afternoon
when in the barn for sllage or green
feed. With a portable cart. made
from a half-barrel by attaching wheels
and a spray pump and nozzle, two men
can spray forty cows In five minutes.

Fine Memorial to Edith CaveIj.

In a quarry, midway between Bod
win and Camelford, on the moors of
North Cornwall, England, n memorial
Is being fashioned out of granite in
memory of Nurse Cavell. One of the
huge pieces is nearing completion un-
der the guidance of Sir George Tramp
ton, who is giving his services free.
This figure represents a woman with
arms half upralsed. holding a little
child on her lap, while underneath, on
the base of the monument, Is carved a
cross. The group is symbolical of the
stronger nations protecting the smaller
and weaker ones, while the cross is the
emblem of mercy. The whole group Is
carved In the form of a cross, giving
special significance to the order TO
which Nurse Cayell belonged. Another
huge block of granite near by has a big
lion carved on il. with head erect and
name bristllng. Trampled beneath its
feet Is a serpent, writing. but defeat
ed. The total weight Of the memorial,
when finished, will be about 40 tons,
with u height of about 40 feet. The
group probably will be erected near
the British National gallery.

NICKEL BY NICKEL
Newspaper Man 0ribbIed His
Profit to Beggar.
Little Transaction by Which Scribe
Thought He Mas to Make $2.65
Didn't End in Just That
Desired Way.

"A newspaper friend of mine" said
usual experience he has had, in fact is
still having with a beggar.
III met this beggar first about a
year ago. The circumstances attend
ING this first meeting We're novel and
interesting and my friend wrote II lit
tie piece about IL which was printed
In his newspaper and for which he
received 81. As he had given the
beggar a nickel he figured that his
net profit on this was S2.95. But:
"A couple Of weeks later he again
met this beggar, who again asked for
a nickel, "A request that my friend did
not feel warranted in refusing. |
don't think he would have refused any
way, my friend being an easy mark
for beggars; but having profited by
his original transaction with this beg
gar, he felt impelled TO hand over this
second nickel promptly. thus reducing
his net on this little piece to $3.50.
1T wasn't long before my friend
discovered that this beggar lived some
where In his neighborhood and made
that part of the town his quarry for

there by intervals, Not always, by

beggar approach him commonly they
passed each other as any other two

but once in n while the beggar would
ask for a nickel. which always my
friend gave. In this way In the course
OF three months he gave up 80 cents,
thus reducing the net of that SO to
$500, Then my friend had an idea.
HE foresaw that II this went on
indefinitely, as there seemed every In

get all Of the 81. which To my friend
seemed scarcely reasonable. But he

ADVANCE MUST BE GENERAL
Anarchy in Russia Proves That Labor
and Rest Of Society Must Go
Forward Together.

The future of labor lies in stabillzlng
democracy. In that alone is progress.
One of the great problems of peace is
to erect an industrial democracy upon
the solid foundations of political de-
mocracy. That can come If labor is
patient and prudent and s~elf-control-
led, but it can never be brought about
through the application of theories Of
confiscation or class war.
Autocracy has failed, and failed
criminally, but the failure of bolshev-
ism is no less complete. even though
the consequences have been restricted
to a single country. There is no hope
for the world in either. The fate of
Russia proves that labor must go for
ward with the rest of society. 1t can
not advance alone. 1t cannot take
everything and give nothing. If it ever
tries. 1t will wsntonly waste most of
the substantial fruits of the war.

PARTNERS IN LIFE'S WORK.

At this time several aspects OF the
labor question demand consideration.
We need 10 emphasize the meaning and
necessity of labOr-to show that II Is

need to emphasize the difference be-
tween productive labor that performs n
service and makes wealth, and unpro-
ductive labor that wins wealth away
from others and lives upon their toll.
We need to emphasize the fact that in
duStry Is n partnership. and so 1t de-
mands the participation of all parties
as partners in the enterprises. We
need To realize that the relations n in
