LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Swat the Fly Now.

MT. Editor: No matter now long the winter lasts or how severe, the chrysalis of the fly is safe. When the warm spring weather comes the fly inside the chrysalis goes on growing again. At the right moment it bursts open its horny case and comes out like a chicken from it's shell, all it has to do is to dry it's wings, then fly away full grown.
 Flies reach their full size before com ing out of their sheH-lilSe covering. The small flies which you often see are full grown but belong to different family, Which is smaller than the ordinary house fly. Flies are seldom seen in winter be cause the air is too cold for the eggs to hatch and the frost or the epicemic, wnIcr occurs among flies every fall, has killed the greater number of the matured l flies
 | The common house fly when it wakes | in the spring or is released from the | chrysalis lays its eggs, generally in gar | base nails, stable refuse or any other rE!i,ish wii.1i ilas collected during the 1 winter season. One fly will Jay from one rundIeu to one thousand eggs in one
 season It requires from six to eight | hours for tne eggs to hatch or develop | iaro the lsIva stage.

Ninth Convention.


 When the ninth auadrennial republican party concalve met in Chicago June sth 1888, James G. Blaine was still the tow ering giant among all republicans. Par tieularly after Cleveland issued his fam ous tariff message and the Mills Bill was introduced, circumstances and ne- cessities seemed to call the plumed knight once more to leadership. But i'll health made such activity for him im- possible. Blaine refused to allow the consideration of his name-altheugh some delegates insisted upon voting for him to the end.
 The only candidate of previous con vention prominence was John Sherman of Ohio, who had twice previously sought the palm. sherman led for six ballots. At first his nearest competitor vas Wal ter 2.

THE VILLA PROBLEM.

With the naming of a provisional president for Mexico and deferring the date for election there opens up in the republic to the south much the same kind of 8 favorable impression that was gained here when Garranza took hold of the reins. It was considered that he would advocate and maintain the policy so much needed in that country to ims prove internal conditions as well as re- latjoas with other countries.
 Much the same impression is being created by the statements made by the leaders tn the sueeassfui resolution. They apparently reeespize the needs of the country, the necessity of establishing friendly relations with this goTerHnlent nt and the ending ok domestic troubles which have such detrimental effect in retarding the country's development.
 But will the rev government be able to do any more than the deposed one? It indicates that it has the right ideas but it remains to be seen whether it has the power, whether the good intentions will not encounter impossible obstacles and whether there will be 2 sustained deter imitation to live up to the professed am DltlOnS once IHe QlIlCultleS Ol lIiS taSh are experienced.

THE POT AND THE KETTLE

There are but few cities or towns in this country but what have their pots and their kettles-men whose principle form of diversion consists of villifying each other. But it is a poor policy. A mind that can see no good in others has loose screw in its own. Its cogs are not well oiled-its working parts are not properly adjusted.
 In all people there is much that is bad, but there is always some Ehing that is good. We see the inn perfections and magnify them by repetition. The goodness we gloss over and forget.
 The pot is black and so is the ket- tie, and it i'll becomes either to traduce the other. The public is not greatly interested in the private opinion of one person regarding an other, and it tires of hearing them shouted from the housetops or roar ed from the gutters.
 If the pot and the kettle would clean their own bottoms they would have little occasion for throwing stones at each other.

FROM FRYING PAN TO FIRE

The story goes that once upon a time live fish was placed in fry ing pan. In it's agony it gave one mighty leap and landed in the hot ter coals of the fire.
 We fear the story of the fable is being enacted in real life today.
 There is growing unrest among young men on the farms-an unrest which constitutes a direct peril to the nation.
 Stories of abnormally high wages paid for even unskilled labor in the cities have fired the farm hand with the greatest of all American curses "a desire to get rich quick.
 In imagination he sees the money rolling in, but there his imagination stops He never thinks of it pour ing out again.
 And in the big cities, despite the high wages paid, there is quite as much pouring as rolling.
 Just why bright-eyed, keen-mind- ed and energetic young men of the country should prefer the exasperat- ing perplexities of the city to the peaceful certainties of the country IS difficult to conceive.
 From infancy they have been trained in the hard headed school of experience which has enabled their fathers to achieve success in an era when the hand of fate was against every farmer-when there was no adequate recompense fol their iabors-when the star of hope
The courier-index., 1920-05-07

was obscured by the low prices of their products.
 Yet all of this splendid train ing seems to be without avail. They want to leave the farms.
 Fathers have pleaded. Mothers and sisters and sweethearts have shed bitter tears. But the unrest is there-it vii not sleep.
 True, the city newspapers are filled with enticingly worded ad- vertisements callin gfor help, but when sifted down the yare more of ten found to be jobs that the city man does not want. The farmer lad is asked to come in and take the crumbs that remain.
 It is an unfortunate condition which faces the county, and one which must be met.
 If the deplorable depopulation of the farms continues there can be but one result. The farmer will live in peace and plenty because he can always raise sufficient for the needs of himself and family. But everywhere the cities will cry for food when there is no food to be had. And the young man who leaves the farm will be among those who experience the joys of a gay life and an empty stomach.
 The greatest crown of glory of the world was placed by Marshal Foch upon the brow of a farmer boy from the mountains of Tennes- see. He is the hero of heroes of the war of all wars.
 The farm boy of today has an op- portunity of performing for his country an even greater service than that which made Alvin York's name known wherever civilization exists
 By remaining upon the farm, where life is clean and opportuni- ties are never lacking, he can aid in saving millions of helpless women and children from the bangs of hun- ger and the depths of despair.
 For without the products of the farm even life itself can not be sustained

Since the United States scotched the highbinders and placed the Gu ban people themselves in power that island country has fully justi- fled our interference. If this coun- try could do the same in Mexico kick the grating military despots out and give the mass of the people an opportunity for an honest cleo tion-a conservative government might be selected and peace and prosperity again hover over that strife-ridden and torch ruined country. The ruling factions in Mexico represent only small mi nority, composed principally of the military caste. The great majority are unorganized and thoroughly de- moralized, and have no voice what ever in controlling their own des- tinies. There will be no peace in Mexico until America applies dis infectant.
