The West in The Fight

This is the first Presidential cam
paign in which candidates from the
West have taken an important part.
The West now begins at the Missi-
sippi River, though there was a
time when Pittsburgh and Buffalo
were in what was known as the West.
The term middle West" has been
invented to avert the puzzlement
with which Fasteners would hear
Ohio spoken of as an Eastern State ;
but it is a misnomer. If it means the
country between East and West, it is
as much Middle East as it is Middle
East. The States from Ohio to Illi-
nois and Michigan are Central States
and the real centre of the nation
goes much further toward the Pa
cific. In Nebraska, for instance, Hi
nois is considered and actually
spoken of as "the East" just as much
as New York is. When, for few
hours Mr.. Hughes was thought to
have been elected, the real West was
derisive over the mistake, and
charged it to a computation of re-
turns based on the vote of "the
East" and it specified New York and
Illinois.
From the real West come two
California candidates, Senator John
son and Mr.. Hoover. From another
Pacific Coast State, Washington,
|comes Senator Poindexter, who,
though not one of the leading candi-
dates, is making a hard fight for
delegates, chiefly in the West and
"Middle West" If Senator Borah is
"a candidate, then Idaho must be
credited with being in the field. Ne
braska has at least two, Senator
Hitchcock on the Democratic side and
General Pershing on the Republican,
while Mr.. Bryan superfluously adj
nits that he is in receptive mood.
In Kansas there is mention of Sena-
Tor Capper and Governor Allen.
Champ Clark, who has not admitted
his candidacy, but who does not ait
as if he disliked the idea, comes
from Missouri.

TEACHERLEsS CHILDREN

The South is not the only section
which is having trouble with the
school teacher problem. Affairs IN
New York City are bad beyond COM
uarison with the worst in any Sou
thern city that we have any know
ledge Of. The Post, in discussing the
question as to what is the matter
with the school up there, says that
at the beginning of the present
school month there were 23,46o
teachers in the city schools, exclusive
of substitutes. Of these, 20,419 were
women. There were 1921 resigna-
tions in 1919, as compared with 3S5
in 1915. There were lat resigna-
tions in January, 1920, as compared
with IS in January year ago. There
have been no fewer than LOIS
designations since the beginning OF
the present year-since September
1919. The total Of those who for
various seasons servered their con-
nection with the day schools of this
city in 1919 amounts to 1850. "Nor
is that ALL" says The Post. "The
best teachers are the ones who are
going. Of the designations rs per
cent are of teachers between 26 and
40, the age of the aggressive, alert,
yet mature type of teacher. Sixty
three per cent of those who have
left taught from to 16 years, the
span of greatest efficiency. The rat
ing of those who have resigned is al
so to be viewed with anxiety. About

65 per cent of them were rated" eX-
cellent" or every good" The per-
centage of designations for men is
about 10 per cent, for women about
per cent"
The Post puts the school authori,
ties on notice that there is not the
slightest reason to hope that the
number of vacancies will be de-
creased under existing conditions
and school population grows by leaps
and bounds. The trouble in New
York is the same as that existing
everywhere else-underpaid tea
chers. The Chamber of Commerce
makes recommendation that the
New York teachers be given an in
crease of at least 80 per cent-thi:
to include the entire teaching staff
to continue until there is substantial
reduction of the present cost of liv
ing. There are now $50 teacher-va
cancies in the schools of New Yorl
City, and 10000 children are dali!
without instruction, and yet the au
thorities seem to balk at meeting tht
situation in the only manner il
which it can be met-by giving thu
teachers better pay. After while

One Fly MuldpGes in Three Weeks 100
Flies; Six-Legged Distributors of Disease

The common house fly stands con-
victed of the crime of spreading
many dread diseases, including ty-
phoid, cholera and tuberculosis, as
well as being directly responsible for
the prevalence of several minor In
fantile complaints, writes L. T. Dun
can in the Graphic (London). Flying
straight from a source of contamt-
nation, the fly proceeds to investi-
gate the sugar basin. promenades
upon the butter and performs its
toilet on top of the cake, depositing
on everything it touches some of the
deadly microbes it has gathered on
it's hairy little body from it's last
alighting place.
Fortunately flies are not nearly so
numerous as in past days. We no
longer tolerate dust and refuse IN
and about our dwellings,; and in dust
and refuse and all things uncleanly
does the house fly flourish and mutt
ply. But we have not yet completely
routed the enemy, in spite of the
waged against him; and this is not
surprising when we consider that
every fly that escapes our vigilance

Less Maple Sugar
And Syrup Produced

Production of maple sugar and
syrup has declined this year, ac-
cording to the bureau of crop estf-
mates, United States department of
agriculture. The sugar production
was 100000 pounds, which COM
pares with 10,169, 600 pounds in 1919,
1921 900 pounds in 1918, and TO-
500, 900 pounds in 1917.
Syrup production has not fallen off
in the same degree, and yet the esti-
mate of 100000 gallons for 1920 is
much below the 3,S54,OoO gallons Of
1919, the 4,905,000. gallons of 1918,
and the 4,2S6,00O gallons of 1917.
With syrup converted to terms Of
sugar, the maple sugar production Of
1920 amounted 36,373,000 pounds, and
this compares with the estimate of
41,005,000 pounds in 1919, 52,513, 000,-
pounds in 1918, and 45,127,000 pounds
in 1917.
The productive season Of 1920 was
a short one and the average number
Of pounds of sugar per tree, with
syrup expressed as sugar, was only
1.91, while in the preceding three
years the averages ranged from 2.16
to 2.72 pounds per tree.

to practical use what they have
learned in the clubs about buying.
cooking and serving food, their lead
ers have organized supper clubs"
These clubs meet twice a month
at the local leaders, home At the
first meeting of the month a we'll
balanced meal is planned with the
help of the leader. Each girl is as
signed a certain part of the meal,
for which she is responsible.
At the second meeting she brings
the material and prepares, cooks, and
serves her part of the supper Adults
are asked to these suppers, and the
invitations are highly priced. The
usual menu consists of meat, DO
tatoes, one vegetable, hot bread,
sometimes salad, dessert, and a hot
drink. So far the average cost per
person served has been twenty-four
to twenty-six cents.
After the meal the club girls meet

Get Ready Now to Protect
Stock Against the Stable Fly

made by anyone with a box, or box
lumber, and screen wire. The frame
work of the traps should be made so
that it will fit snugly into the barn
window intended for it's use, prefer
ably one on the brightest side of the
barn and close to the stock kept
within. The screen entanglements
are so arranged that flies either try
ing to leave the barn or enter 1t are
caught.
At the bottom of the trap is a
space about one-fourth of an inch
wide running entirely across the
frame on both sides. This crack ad-
mits the flies beneath peaked roof
or ridge of screen wire having holes
large enough for flies to go through,
punched along its top at two-inch
ascend through the holes into the
upper chamber of the trap and are
unable to escape. The sides of the
trap, also, are made of ordinary
screen wire bent inward and upward
in two horizontal folds running
across the window, one near the bot
tom and one near the top.
The ends of the screen are securely
tackled and a series of small holes
punched along the inner edge of each
of the folds. The flies, in trying to
crawl into the folds and enter the
chamber through the holes. They
are unable to escape, because on the
inside the folds form a projecting
ridge that makes it next to impossi-
BILE for the fly to retrace his steps.
Other windows Should Be Darkened
The trap is especially we'll adapt
ed to well-made barns where the flies
do not have numerous places for en-
trance and exit. 1t Is also more suit
ed to small barns in which animals
are kept more or less constantly than
to large dairy barns where the COWS
are brought in only at milking time
Under the latter conditions the flies
enter the barns on the cows and
many remain on the walls until after
the cattle have been turned out.
If such barns are tightly closed
during the daytime and the windows
without traps darkened, practically
all the flies will catch themselves in
trying to escape through the trap
window or windows.
In all instances the windows with
out traps should be darkened by
hanging gunny sacks over them. This
may be done so as not to inter
fere with the ventilation. The dark
ness and the Tapping of the sacks
in the wind will drive the flies to
the more attractive light of the win

With the approach Of that season
of the year when the stable fly is
most numerous and it's injury to live
stock most acute-August and Sep
tember-it behooves the farmer to
prepare for meeting the enemy and
protecting his stock as much as pos

farmer will be protecting himself
also, for aside from it's annoyance to
human beings the stable fly is sus-
pected OF playing an important pat
in the carrying of certain diseases of
man, notably infantile paralysis.
The natural time for taking meas
ures against the stable fly is when it
is in it's immature stages, and there
is good reason to believe that by
properly caring for substances in
which it breeds the insect may be
kept well under control. Unfor-

stage and begun its work of injury
before its menacing presence is felt.
1t is then very difficult to combat
and guard against.
Various means are used both for
protecting the animals and for eXter-
traps. To be effective, however, the
trap should be especially designed
for this particular quarry, as it Is
impossible successfully to capture
adult flies by means of the traps or
dinarily used for the house fly.
A Successful Trap Recommended
The United States department of
agriculture, after thorough inquiry
into the subject of trapping stable
flies, recommends as successful
trap one designed by Prof. c. F.
Hodge which may be used in captur-
ing adults as they enter or leave the
barn. This trap, it is said, Is un-
doubtedly very effective under GER
tain conditions, and has the advan-
tage of catching not only the stable
fly but the house fly and other un-
desirable species as well.
The trap is inexpensive and can be
