Swat the Fly.

| Entomologists say the progency

be sufficient to cover the surface of
the earth to depth of two feet
or more. Moral, "Swat the early
fly"
In Special Bulletin No. 4s, DR..
w. A. Riley, chief of the division
of entomology, University of Min
nesota, divided the methods of COM
batting the fly into those directed
towards determination by the pre-
vention of breeding and those serv-
ing as protection against the insect.
AS flies are born and reared in
filth of all sorts, the obvious thing
to do is to clean up all manure
piles, garbage accumulations and
slop pools.
However much ones neighbors
may continue to. breed flies for the
community, this does not render
useless the keeping of ones own
premises free from such nuisances
nor does it excuse neglect" says
DR.. Riley.
As the entire development from
egg to adult fly may be spanned in
eight or ten days and a new gen.
Grafton started every IL to IA
days, it is plain that every fly
killed early means heavy mortality
among the possible fly population.

Dance Rules at Embarra...

The voters of the Town of En-
barrass at the annual meeting
adopted by big majority, stringent
bylaws by which they hope to

read in substance as follows:
: 1t shall be unlawful to hold any
public dance on Sunday, or after
any program, social or public enter
tainment
1t shall be unlawful to hold any
public dance without first obtaining
written permit from one of the
Town Supervisors such permit to
cost S1.25. It shall also be re,
quired of the party or parties in
charge of public dance to have
a constable in attendance at all
times said dance is in progress and
to pay his wages. No children un-
der Is years are to be admitted to
any public dance, unless accom-
panied by parent or guardian and
no dancing is to be allowed after

Violation of any of the provi-
sions of the bylaws is termed a
misdemeanor and is punishable by
not more than three months impris-
onment in the county Jail or by a

Road Bids Much Lower.

Early bids for the construction
of Federal-aid roads indicate that
prices during the coming season viii
be materially lower than last sea-
son, according to reports received
by the Bureau of Public Roads of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. While bids have not
been received on any large volume
of work, there is, however, enough
to Indicate lower level of prices.
Grading has been bid at 20, %
and 80 cents cubic yard in Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, and Minnesota, re-
spectively, as compared with an
average of 35 cents for the section
in which these States are located
in 1921.
Prices of reinforcing steel in
place range around cents as COM
pared with the 1921 price of 8 or
9 cents and bridge steel Az cents
against to 8 cents.
A few bids, for the best grade
of concrete, of about SIT a cubic
yard have been received in sections
where the 1921 price was about $25
a cubic yard.
Prices bid for the construction
Of concrete roads per square yard
are as follows: Ohio S1.52, Col

A Few Garden Hints.


Plant early potatoes as soon as
the ground is warm and works
easily.
Seeds of many hardy flowers may
be sown in the open ground as
soon as It is warm enough to work.
Arbor day comes April %. This
is a fine time to set out another
tree and a few shrubs.
Nasturtiums are useful for win
dow boxes or for garden growing.
Use the trailing sorts and do not
plant IN rich soil
Sweet Allyssum, dwarf French
marigolds, zinnia haegena and rosy
morn petunia make good border
plants for walks.
! Watch the ventilation of the hot
beds and cold frames carefully
these days. A little sun will over
heat them quickly.
It is a good plan to put up the
sweet pea trees soon after the seed

ST. LOUIS COUNTY HELPS OUT

ERABLE.

Minnesota returned to its eighty
six counties over $500 for every
dollar paid by them as state taxes
during the calendar year, 1921.
Figures just compiled by Ray P.
Chase, State Auditor, show that for
the year total state taxes for all
purposes paid by the counties into
the state treasury amount to SILL

state supplemented these direct
treasury returns with other pay
ments in the shape of various forms
of state aid, totaling s23,091,-
572.03. These supplemental pay
ments included such items as:
Soldiers bonus, and tuition, s7,233,-
214.73; trunk highways, roads and
bridges, s5,677, 243.83; drainage,
forest fire relief, etc., S433, 694.71;

as a direct payment,
The taxes paid by the county
direct to the state include the one
mill road and bridge tax, the one
mill school tax and the soldiers
bonus tax, no part of which is in
any way used for the expense of
state government. The amount re-
ferred to above as paid directly
back to the county does not include
any of the supplemental treasury
receipts before noted.
Of the eighty-six counties of the
state, forty-four receive more from
the state treasury than they paid
IN. They paid state taxes amount
ing to s2,503, 536.70 and received
directly $3,89O,832.33. The other
forty-two counties paid in more
than they received as direct re-
turn.
To the average tax payer taxes
are just taxes, an infection to be
patiently borne and subsequently
paid and later some central author
ty indicted as responsible. He does
not always realize. that the state
tax is apart from those levied for
local purposes.
The tax rate for state purposes
IN Minnesota for the present cal
endar year is the lowest in years
and with the statutory infections
removed is without a parallel in
the states history. 1t is but
mall fraction of the total tax paid
by the tax payers of the state.

Now in Minneapolis.

Transfer from Washington to the
District Office of the Veterans
Bureau in Minneapolis of control of
over nine thousand cases of service
men receiving or seeking training
or compensation, was announced
yesterday by C. D. Hubbard, Dis
trict Manager.
Completion of the case transfer
from Washington is characterized
as the biggest single step yet taken
toward carrying out the provisions
of the Sweet Bill, which declared
that the functions conferred in Wash
ington should be decentralized TO
the District Offices with full power
to act on them. The nine thousand
cases over which complete control
was transferred to Minneapolis
were received about ten days age
and the work of consolidating anC
putting the last of them into shape
for full fUnetioning in Minneapoli,
was finished yesterday.
Another shipment of twenty
thousand disallowed claims soon vii
be forwarded to the Minneapolis
Office, which, although temperate,
inactive, can be reopened by thu
man at any time upon his represent

training has arisen since the cas-
was disallowed.

ROADS ARE YOURS
WHY ABUSE THEM?'
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER IN.
QUIRES, ASKING PUBLIC TO
PREVENT DAMAGE TO
SOFT ROADS NOW.

Closing one important state trunk
highway to heavy-vehicle traffic,
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, last week announced
that like orders will be issued on
trunk routes wherever necessary to
prevent damage during softening
pring thaws.
Moving too heavy loads on the
soft surfaces of the roads now
means wanton destruction and will
not be permitted on the. state
routes" asserted Mr.. Babcock. 'The
highways are the property of the
general public and all citizens,
especially owners of heavy trucks
should bear IN mind that to abuse
them results only in loss to them
selves and their neighbors. Reduc-
tons in road repairs always make
possible extensions of new road i'm
provements."
The highway commissioner sug-
gested that lighter vehicles be used
until the frost is out of the roads
and maintenance forces put them
into condition for the heavy-traffic
season. Such cooperation for road
preservation, he added, will save
many thousand dollars of highway
funds.
North Shore road-the Duluth
Grand Marais section of Minnesota
trunk highway No. lis covered by
the first order barring heavy
vehicles. Commercial truck and bus
lines operating on the route ap-
proved the action of the highway
commissioner and plan to use light
er rigs and small touring cars in
stead of the big buses until the
spring thaws are ended.

DISPLAY CAR
WILL ATTRACT.
THE D. & |. r. DISPLAY. CAR
BEING OUTFTTTED-THE
FINEST EVER.

President F. E. House. General
Passenger Agent h. Johnson and
Superintendent Thos. Owens of the
Duluth & Iron Range were in the
city Monday to confer with Agent
Moonan and the Superior Forest
Officials in regard to final touches
on the display advertising car which
will leave here the last of the
month for a tour of neighboring
states to attract to this section of
the country.
The car to be used is a Pullman
diner and has been thoroughly re-
modelled to house the exhibit. All
of the window glasses have been
removed from the car and in its
place are substituted some of the
most beautiful lake camping and
game scenes that are to be found.
The car has been fitted to connect
with the electric systems of any of
the cities, where it ray stop and
also for train lighting systems and
has a unit lighting system installed
which can be used where electricity
is not available. The pictures are
backed by a translucent ground
glass which gives the pictures as
viewed from the inside a most
beautiful lighting, likewise at night
the lights from the inside of the
car will illuminate them so they can
be seen either from the interior or
exterior. The car has also been fit
ted with shelving through its entire
length, on which will be mounted
a large number of specimens of the
game of the region. which will in
clude moose, wolves. deer and a
great many of the feathered
species. The former kitchen has
been fitted as booth for the land
department in which will be ex-
hibited a variety of the products of
the soil.
The car has been here for the
past three weeks and is being out
fitted under the able direction of
Mr.. Moonan and the Superior Ma
tional Forest officials. Local people
as well as the people along the
line of the road will have an OPP
portunity of seeing the car before
it starts on its journey through
AAAAhOlo, -u4LAIlCSOIc, 1OWd anu IIlc
Dakotas.
The car will be placarded on the
outside with descriptive matter and
maps and will be accompanied by
several persons who will distribute
literature. A lecture will be given
at every stop by member of the
National Forestry department, which
has loaned the pictures, which will
attract wide attention.
The company is spending consid-
cradle money on the innovation as
an advertising medium to attract
not only tourists but settlers and
it is well worth the time of even
those who are familiar with this
country's beauties to view the ex-
hibit, which is truly work Of art

outsiders think of the car it will

MILLS ON STAND IN JERSEY CHURCH
 MURDER MYSTERY

New Brunswick, N. J.. Sept. 22- James Mills, husband of the choir leader who was found dead near here a1on gSide the dead body of Rev. Dr. Edward Wheeler Hall, wealthy rector of the fashionable Protestant E1pisco- pal church of St. John the Evangelist, was taken to the Somerset county court house today where he was questioned at great length by As sistant Prosecuting Attorney Too Ian.
 The county authorities are partic- uIarly anxious to learn the name of the woman member of the congrega- ton of the church who warned Mills some time ago that the attachment between the pastor of the church and the beautiful blonde choir leader, Mrs. Mills, had grown far past the stage of friendship. Mills was sex ton of the church.
 Although the double murder was revealed last Saturday morning when theh two bodies, both shot through the head, were found lying side by side in the dew drenched grass, un- der a crab apple tree upon the old Phillips farm, there have been no arrests.
 The authorities were on the point of making one or more arrests, but at the last minute feared that they did not have sufficient evidence to hold the accused.
 All theories are being run down such as murder for jealousy; murder for vengeance; murder through black mail; murder for family honor and murder for money.
