this should read, when Mrs. Jones
lectured on Dress she wore nothing.
That was remarkable remains a
mystery.

The fly is universally recognized as a carrier
of disease. He is suspected of having a part in
conveying the germs of infantie paralysis and
other infections, but as regards typhoid fever
and bowel troubles there is no possible doubt
of his guilt tuberculosis and pneumonia are
also among the diseases which may be conveyed
by the fly. 1t is clearly the duty of the individual
of the community and of the state, to exterminate
the fly SO long as the fly thrives and is left I'M
disturbed, so long will the infant death rate from
bowel diseases, the adult death rate from typhoid
and the general death rate from other infections
remain high. The presence of the fly indicates
the nearby existence of filth. The U. S. Health
Service has issued book Of 500 pages showing
the dangers of the fly, and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, d. c.. has
Tree bulletins devoted to this flying menace of

Ice Plant Likely For
Richland Consumers

HIGHLAND, Aug. 30.-That Rich
land is to have an ice plant before
the opening of another summer is
now almost assured. A nonresident
who has plenty of capital and exper-
fence to operate modernly equipped
plant is investigating the local sur
roundings through the secretary of
the Richland Board of Trade and as
Richland is eXcelIently located for
just such an investment it is regard
ed as certain the plant will be built.
The prospective owner is assured
a unanimous support from Richland
patronage as we'll as almost the same
support from all of the neighboring
towns in radius of twenty miles.
On account of the high freight
rates now in effect Richland and adj
joining towns have been forced to
pay cent a pound for ice, while a
home plant could furnish ice at forty
cents per hundred.

8 SECTION MEN
SWEPT To DEATH
BY CLOUDBURST
lRy The Associated Press.l

Dickinson, N. D., June 90
Three of q crew of five section men
were killed while on duty in the
heavy rains and cloudhurst which
ragged over western North Dakota
and eastern Montana, Friday night
and Saturday morning, 1t was
learned here today.
The five were returning from
Medora early Saturday morning
from Sentinel Butte, where they
had been making repairs and were
caught in a cloudburst.
A crest of water which survivors
said was twenty feet high. struck
the speeder on which they were
riding as it was rounding curve.
Arnold Stillson, 35; Tom Everets,
as. and Peter McNair. Al, all OF
Medora, were the men killed. Fred
Zeigler, section foreman and an
employe named Robinson, escaped
with severe bruises from the debris
carried by the current.
The bodies of Stillson and NC
Nair have been recovered.
The cloudburst was the most dis
astrous to railroad property ever
known in this section of the state,
Long stretches Of track between
Medora and Sentinel Butte, steel
and concrete bridges and two miles
of telegraph wires. We're DESTROYED:
Except in areas hit by hail and
in the lowlands, little damage had
been done to growing crops.

JAPAN RE CARDS
UNITED STATES
AS HER FRIEND
Prof. Jordan, of Chicago
University. Says Nippon
csc Have Nothing But
Respect for America.
(By The Associated Press.)

Chicago, June 2O.--Japan re-
CARDS the United States as her
greatest friend and the nation she
most desires to be like. In the opin-
ion of Professor Frederick Starr, of
the University Of Chicago. who re-
turned yesterday from a six months
tour of the empire. If America
gets into war with Japan, he said, it
will be because of the attitude of
unthinking Americans. due TO their
prejudiced viewpoint of the Japa-
nese attitude"
Professor Starr, an authority on
Japanese questions, made his trip
at the request of the priests of
Shotoku to participate in the
1300th anniversary of the death of
Shotoku Taishi, credited with
spreading Buddhism throughout
Japan.
"Among the people there IL moth
ing but respect and regard for
America" he said. in my opin-
ion it is mistaken for Japan to
yield so much to America. She
does so out of her regard for this
country and her desire to pattern
after us. She feels hurt at our
California policy. but she is MAX
ing no effort to open the question.
"There Is a restless feeling In
Japan that she win have trouble
of some kind in 1924. because she
had wars in 1894, 1904 and 1914,
If we should go to war with Japan,
it will be because the attitude Of
unthinking Americans will have
forced us into 1t, due to their
prejudiced viewpoint of the Japa-
nese attitude"
Professor Starr said he found
conditions in Korea much better
than he expected. He said he
thought the Koreans had given up
their ideas of independence.
