 Flies The Most Deadly Insect
 Even the ancients of Moses time realized the distinctive power of the fly. There were fly gods in those days, who were supposed to possess
 the power to augment or decrease the pests among the people. History speaks of such gods as being often importuned to mitigate the plague of flies always present in the hot months. Some tribes would beseech such idols to cause a plague of flies to fall upon their enemies. It is not quite clear. just whether the flies obeyed the ideals at all times, but
 that they were serious menace 10
 the inhabitants Is not disputed
 As much as we know about the fly as a vicious source of many diseases, our efforts to destroy him are pain fully inadequate and lacking in com
 mon sense. Every known or practi- cal plan for destroying flies ought to be put into practice. Destroy their

BRANDON WILL ASK LOWER SALARIES ID GET REDUCED TAXES
Tuscaloosa Candidate Ad- dresses EImore Citizens. Less Tax, More Schools
 and "Ford"

Montgomery, May 31.-(Special.)- Judge W. W. Brandon of Tuscaloosa told an audience in the Fillmore county court house at Wetumpka Wednes- day that he will ask the legislature, when he becomes governor, to reduce salaries of state officials, starting at the salary of the governor and com ing down through the others which were increased in recent years and that he would recommend that lazy enforcement be centered in the cour- ties Instead of the state capitol.
 For Lower Salaries
 Judge Brandon made the declara- tion regarding reductions in salaries in a discussion of his plans for the reduction of the burdens of taxation. He declared too much power had been centered in the capitol and that he proposed to put more power in the hands of the people. q do not care if all appointments are taken from me-" he declared. 'I believe this gov ernment should be run by the people"
 The declaration regarding law en- forcement was made in reply to a direct question from the audience. One man asked: What are you going to do with the law enforcement de- partment?" Judge Brandon replied: T propose to put the law enforce ment in the hands of the counties"
 For Henry Ford
 Judge Brandon In his appeal for the development of the state and it's re- sources mentioned Muscle Shoals and expressed himself unequivocally in favor of Henry Ford. He also declared that the proper development of Mo bile's shipping facilities at the port should go hand in hand with the de- velopment at Muscle Shoals and in the mineral district.
 He also declared that he favored the removal of exemptions from large companies and the levying of proper assessments against franchises and other property which, he said, had not been paying their proper share of the burden of government.
 School Appropriation
 As he has done in other counties, he told candidates for the legislature that after appropriation bills have been passed for schools and Confed- crate soldiers he would decline to ap- prove any further bills which would cause the expenditure of more funds than would come into the state trea- sury annually.
 Following the address, Judge Bran- don was surrounded by citizens of Fillmore county and an informal reeep- tion was held for several minutes. One old citizen of Elmore walked up to Judge Brandon and said: "I ha only one vote to give you when you ran before, but this time I will give you six" It all results from the ratification of the woman suffrage amendment

Watering shrubbery


 The time is approaching when much of the shrubbery has to be watered very frequently to sustain it through hot, dry periods. Much of the shrubbery around homes is plant ed in hard clay soil. proned to pack, run together and bake, making 1t diff ficGlt to water thoroughly. When vol have such condition to contend with. it is often advisable to practice underground irrigation. This may be accomplished by sinking flower pot into the soil near a plant and pour the water into the pot The water leaks out of the pot slowly, thus bringing the moisture to the feeding roots. causing deeper and more ela- borate root systems to sustain top development. The size of the pot should be governed by the size or needs of the plant. A large pot con ceaied in moderate size flower bed will keep the entire bed moist 4 wooden tub or even tin vessel may serve the purpose if some holes he made in the sides and bottom. A large joint of pipe is often emplayei The same method in watering hang ing baskets gives fine results, only In baskets where there is not room, flat tin can may be placed on top of the soil, hidden away in the middle by foliage and caused to be made leaky by punctures.
 Cause Of Bad Management It Is much easier to point out a case of bad management to the other fellow that to apply the same prin- ciple to your own conduct Con- structive criticism Is, however, Of great benefit some times. A good plan is to drink in all the advice that is generally so freely offered, be- | cause you are certain to learn some thing to your advantage.
 It's up to the receiver to analyze and make use of such knowledge as appears good to him.
