Fly That Is Farmers Friend.

There is general prevailing opin-
make horse flies. This is erroneous.
Cut worms and army worms are some
times parasitized by large Tachinid
flies which. to the casual observer,
somewhat resemble the horse fly. The

Fred B. Gillette
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Fred B. Gillette was born in Chi
cago, Ills, in 1883. He was educated
in the public schools of that city. After
graduating from the South Division
High School, he was engaged until
1904 in the fire insurance business.
This experience is important to him
at this time. For years attempts
have been made to pass some legisla-
ton in this State to remedy the de-
fects in our insurance laws. So far
u legislation has been largely for
the benefit of the insurance companies
instead of the policy holders. Fred
Gillette knows the insurance business
and will bend every effort to aid in
enacting legislation to protect the pol
icy holder.
In 1904, Mr.. Gillette located on a
homestead three miles west of Hins-
dale. At that time dry-farming me-
thods had not been applied to farm
