That the house fly not uncommon
ly makes a journey of to mile
in the space of "a hours, is shown
by experiments conducted by tho
Bureau of Entomology, Uni ed
States Department of Agriculture
The ease with which flies travel ma
ny miles shows the Importance OF
general sanitary measures to de-
stroy breeding places.
Fly fight tests were conducted in
northern Texas, where approximate
Iy $4,000 flies of many different
species were trapped, then busted
with finely powdered red chalk, and
liberated. Fly traps baited with
food highly relished by the flies

in all directions fromthe points OF

Try traps, it was possible to deter

A CHRONIC MALADY

No nation can become
great or remain great that is
not willing to work. And il
the greatness is to be per-
manent, the nation must be
willing to stick to its task
and work like the dickens
Perhaps there is nobody
on earth who isn't proud of
work well done---after it is
done! And yet, over 90
per cent of the people are
afflicted with the disease
known as laziness---in more
or less chronic form. They
try to delude themselves
with the idea that they're
working when really they're
not. 1t is with them as with
the man in Chesterton's par
ody on Longfellow,
Toiling, rejoicing, sorowing,
| SO my life conduct
Each morning sees some
task begun, each evening
sees it chucked!
In our attempts to con-
ceal our laziness, we make
eX cuses to our
but these are only ,
as a drop in a bucket when $
compared with the excuses t
we make to ourselves. l.
If the people of the Uni a
ed States would give to t,
work, manual and mental, II
he time they are spending Oh
rying to recover from that ca
some people are al
'orn with, (laziness), our n
ry
alton would become great til
eyond the anticipations of TO
ne patriot. And this state
lent does not indicate a be-
eff that the people of any
5her nation are more in
than Americansl !. LIE

some exciting stunts at racing

Ralph Whiting had bad luck
as per usual. Last year he got
off with a broken collar bone
but this time he broke one of
his legs in two places, between

general regret. Ralph's broth

sa,T ,.tuoen Jack Dempsey and the
g.,ncbman, Georges Carpenter.
rse soldier boys seem to be for
rarnentier, rar who made an ex-
client sJ record in the world war,
rbile Dempsey didn't do his
hito in the right way, ex-servlce
men assert.
The two fighters compare as
follows:
Carpenter will be smaller in
several respects than any boxer
VINO has fought for the title IN
recent years. Tommy Burns,
f,om whom Jack Johnson wrest-
d the crown, was shorter but
heavier and more compactly
bniIt. Bob Fitzsimmons, on the
dav he lost the championship to
lin Jeffries at Coney Island,
weighed 172 pounds, almost ex-
,etly what Carpenter will weigh
when he climbs into the ring.
Dempsey will be larger than
Carpenter in all save two i'm
DOrtant measurements. Car
Dentier's advantages will be in
his wonderfully developed lower
limbs and his neck. The French
man 5 alfameasurement is 168
inches as compared with Demp-
sy's 154. Carpenters neck
measures 163 with Dempsey's
one-Quarter inch smaller.
Dempsey will outweigh Car
pentier by about 20 pounds. He
will stand che and one-half
inches taller. He will outreach
bis rival by one inch, IA inches
b73. In wrist and ankle de-
VelOpment they are nearly equal,

Ing Dempsey the advantage in
each case. Dempsey's biceps
measure 164 inches as compared
with Carpenters 144. Carpen-
tiers back muscles, however,
are a magnificent part of his
Development, and from these he
will draw most of his hitting

Big SawmiII at Cooley
to Shut Down Today

The sawmill at Cooley, it is
announced, will be closed down
today for an indefinite time.
The main reason for the close
down, it is said, is that the COM
pany is overstocked with lumber
which at present cannot be
marketed.
This great sawmill, which is
one of the largest in the coun-
try, never has had the opportu-
nifty Of running in its full ca
pacity just to see what it could
turn out, and after cutting sew
eral million feet the slump in
lumber came, leaving stacks of
lumber on their yards. but no
sale for it.
The Apache trains will con-
tinue to run twice a week from
Cooley to Holbrook and return
to carry shipments of lumber
on a small sale they made some
time ago.
All hope that business will
soon pick up sufficiently to again
start the big mill going yes.
with day and night shifts.
