START CAMPAIGN TO
ELININAT 7 { FLIES
Chamber of Commerce Is Back
ing Movement to Destroy
Dangerous House Pests

Acting in the name Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, Secretary Henry
P. Everett of that organization to-
day called upon all Americus resi-
dents to join in a campaign de-
signed to eliminate house flies in
this community. Discussing the
campaign with Timss-R Recorder
man today, Secretary iyerett said:
"The Chamber of Commerce, in
cooperation with the city and coun-
ty boards Of health is calling upon
the house-keepers, operators of
restaurants and citizens in general
to get busy at once with fly swat
ters, fly traps, sticky fly-paper and
other means to kill the dangerous
house flies.
"The extremely mild weather this
season has been favorable to the
active life of the insect and has
promoted the breeding Of this dam
gerous pest.
Fewer flies have perished dur
ing the winter months.
MANY have survived and depos-
tied eggs, which have been hatched
and will reinforce the hold overs"
that have hibernated in sheltered
places. The mother fly lays $50
eggs at one time and deposits six
patches in her life time of five
weeks. It is thus to be seen that
the possibilities for spreading dis
ease germs are appalling.
From present indications, the
fly is aggressive and energetic this
summer and unless exterminated,
will broadcast the seeds Of disease.
"The fly plants his disease germs
on bread and butter and trails them
over the sugar, sips coffee and
swims in milk
"The Chamber of Commerce ad-
vises that the citizens clean up
their premises and outhouses, eradi-
cate all substances likely to fur
nish swarming and breeding places
for the fly.
Garbage is favorite rendezvous
The garbage can should be kept
viii covered.
Refuse from staklc 'orms the
chief substance in which flies de.
posit their eggs, and heaps of such
material are the principal breeding
places of these insects. They also
breed on the occurrence of a suit
able temperature in ashes, COW and
fowl refuse, cesspools, straw and
textile fabrics, such as wooden
garments and .sacking which have
been found with material of hui
man origin, mushrooms, decaying
vegetables, fruits and foodstQffs,'

SEVERAL FAST GRTDIRON
GAMES AT BIRMINGHAM

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August 10.
Birmingham's 1928 gridiron card
complete, finds more than a half
dozen battles scheduled that should
furnish interest.
Alabama matched with Sewanee
and Florida; and Auburn matched
with Centre will furnish the major
competition, although the annual
f2ay between Howard and Birming-
ham-Southern will be a battle that
will be watched closely BY sport
lovers of the state.
Birminghan-Southern in its
games with Mississippi college and
Union University on local soil
should attract considerable atten-
tion, fans say.

mons Of the whole revival at the
First Christian church, last night.
Rev. Geo. H. Ramsey held the audi
ence absorbed in deep interest for
more than an hour. The subject
was "Europe's First Convert" and
the story was that of Lydia, the

Skilfully woven into the histori-
cal account was the gospel plan of
salvation, the process of carrying
out that plan and the logical re-
suits both in individual redemption
and in national and international
affairs. The speaker seemed equal
ly at home in language translation,
historic love, and recent current
philosophy
The climax of the discourse was
reached in an earnest appeal for
all Christians to follow the Christ
in example and commandment, ex-
alt Gods revealed will above the
will Of mon, and for great united
protestanism of evangelical Chris
tianity with which to be able to
cope with the forces Of evil.
The subject for tonight will be
''The Transgressor's Way" There
will be no services Saturday All the
usual services Sunday morning and
evening.

lowing Jesus" and in the evening

with its decks crowded with horses,
were still talking of battle fought
at sea when two days out, between
two huge stations and which ended
in the death of one worth several

Through some carelessness in stow
ing the live cargo the two foes, black
and bay, were placed in adjoining
Enclosures.
Their natural wildness through
life on the broad pampas of Argen-

Of strange surroundings and through
out the first day of their incarceration
in the dark hold of the ship shrill
neighing followed by the drumming
of hoofs on the stanchions and bulk
heads sounded continuously.

After circling cautiously about each
other for time. warily watching for
an opening like two boxers, the black
suddenly reared and crashed down
with both hoOfs on the head Of his
adversary. The other stood dazed
for an instant by the impact, and in
that moment the black seized his adj
vantage and fastened his teeth in the
back Of the bays neck, the death grip
sought by wild horses as instinctively
as the bulldog goes for the throat of
hts rival.
Despite the frantic efforts Of the
crew to separate the pair the black
bore steadily down until the bays
head was pressed against the deck.
Then came sudden twist Of the
blacks head, sharp crack was heard
and the bay lay with broken neck.
His blood lust satisfied, the black was
contented and was led quietly back to
his stall.
