TWO fires ON SAME
farm ON SAME DAY
LAFAYETTE FARMER
SUFFERS HEAVY LOSS
Barn, Fifty Tons of Hay, and Much
Straw on Chas. Lance Farm Are
DestrOyed.-Fire Causes Runaway,
Machine Wrecked.

Two of the most disastrous fires
that have visited Lafayette township
in many years occurred on Tuesday
on the farm Of Charles Lance, one
taking place in the morning, destroy
ing huge stack Of straw, the other
in the afternoon, when the barn was
burned to the ground together with
upward of fifty tons of new hay.
Farm hands were threshing for
Lance at the time and it is thought
that the fire started from sparks
from the thresher engine. As soon
as the morning fire was discovered a
call was sent to Lodi for its fire de-
apartment, the chemical apparatus be-
ing sent, but without avail. The barn
was insured, and there was also an
insurance of $500 on the hay.
During the progress of the fire a
team belonging to VIM. Schlechty and
hitched to a moving machine ran
away a distance of two miles down the
south road, where they were found
later uninjured, tho the machine was
a complete wreck.

DAIRYMEN GET MILK
PRICE OF IS IL CENTS

Settlement of a four-day deadlock
between milk producers and distribu-
tors over the August wholesale price
which threatened curtailment of ship
ments to Cleveland from a dozen or
more counties, members Of the Ohio
Farmers Cooperative Milk Company
was broken on Monday, through the
Intervention of Mayor Fitzgerald Of
Cleveland, when his suggestion of a
price of 95 IL cents gallon was
agreed upon. The farmers demanded
Sc cents gallon for August delivery,
an increase of IL cents gallon ov-
|er the July price.
However, the new price agreement
will have no effect on the increased re-
tail price which went into effect Sun
day. This is an increase Of from Is
to 16 cents quart and 9 IL to 10
cents pint.
Before the Monday meeting officers
of the producers association declar-
ed farmers would ship no milk to
Cleveland after Monday unless salts
factory settlement was reached. Me
dina county dairymen who were at the
meeting were John Clark of Medina

DESTRUCTION OF MOSQUITOES.

Some weeks ago the Pasteur Insti-
tute in Paris announced that mosQui-
toes could be killed by sprinkling
powdered formalin on the water in
which the larvae live. We called at
tention at the time to the interest and
importance of any new method for the
destruction of these plaques of man
kind; but we hoped that fuller details
would be given, as 1t seemed likely
that a solution strong enough to kill
mosquitoes could not be without dam
ger to harmless animls or to human
beings. The danger was greater, mas
much as water-cisterns are favorite
breeding grounds for the larvae of
the insects which carry malaria. NJ.
Roubaud now gives the satisfactory
information that the formalin powder
is insoluble. and that the quantities
of irritant vapor it discharges are too
minute to be harmful. In any event.
the filtration of water before it was
used for drinking or cooking would
remove the PARTICLES. The larvae of
the anophele mosquito (Which is the
carrier of malaria) have the habit of
lying fat at the surface of the water.

In the markets OF the orient one finds
the locusts on sale. They are confined
in little cages. not unlike bird cages.
The choice locust In from 2ia to 8 inches
long, very green in color, with brown
ish wings. Those on sale are older than
the same species known to US as grassv
hoppers.
Throughout China, Japan and other
parts Of Asia the children are adept at
catching the locusts. either for sale or
for private consumption. by means of a
long bamboo rod with it's point covered
with an adhesive substance. The child
Of the orient rarely allows the locust on
the furthermost twig Of the tree to es
market and place his cage with it's catch

TRUTH IN FABRICS.

There is, very properly, a growing
demand for truth--that is to say. hon
esty-in fabrics. Resolutions on the
subject passed recently by forty inn
portant associations of producers or
consumers ranging from the Ameri-
can farm bureau and the Fleece Wool
Growers Association to the Missouri
Retail Clothiers' Association and the
National Housewives league deserve
the serious attention of Congress.
The supporters of truth in fabrics
legislation who favor the French
Capper bill. introduced early in 1920,
ask for compulsory labelling Of wool
fabrics and a clear. unmisakable and
compulsory distinction between shod-
dy--wool previously used in cloth
and virgin wool--wool never before
so used" The term "all wool" does
not include this distinction and is the
source of much Misrepresentation to
consumers. That goods containing
shoddy or cotton should be so labeled
as to make their quality unmistaka-

Truth in fabrics is only less impor-
tant than truth in food and drugs.
