FRESH AIR DONATIONS
 COMING IN SLOWLY
Cool Weather May Be Rea- son for Lack of Interest
 -$783 on Hand

Subscriptions to the Fresh Air fund, which will be used for giving outings of at least two weeks apiece 10 3oo New Britain children during this sum ner are not being sent to the Herald office as freely as they were year ago at this time, although 1t IS eH- pected that the public will furnish the necessary amount before the summer is over, as 1t always has. There IS a possibility that the lateness of the season, the continued cool weather has had a tendency to retard the do- nations, as it is hard for anyone 10 visualize the relief from heat that their small gifts will give to the chil- dren when 1t is not extremely warm at the time.
 It is certain, however. that we shall have many days of almost insufteraple temperature before 1t is again fall. Many of the rugged ones, men, Wom- on and children, will be able to with stand the heat, some will not. The mortality is quite likely to be higher among the youngsters of weaker bodies who have not the means to en- joy respite in the cool country than 1t is among any other class of people Every dollar given to the Fresh Air camp fund now being collected by this paper, through the Fresh Air Ed itor, means quite possibly. another life saved in addition to the certainty of another child made happy. very few dollars, comparatively speaking, invested in the Fresh Air fund will go further towards promoting health and happiness than the same amount in any other philanthropic proposi- ton. Readers are urged to help in this work, and to do so at once in or der that plans for the summer may be more certain.

We sure did the fly bust
ness of the valley this sum-
mer. Perhaps you will say,
that's nothing to brag
about, but we claim that it
is. We bought and paid for
4S0 ounces of perfectly good
dead flies at 10 cents per
ounce or $48.00.
Flies count approximately
$500 to the ounce or a total
of 2,224,000 flies. We will
now assume that half of these
flies are Of the standard bred
egg laying type and that each
egg laying fly would depos-
tie her full quota of eggs.
Well figure it out for yourself.
it is to deep for the Dope
Sheet writer, but we claim
we've done something when
we caused this many flies to
be caught.
Many amusing instances
occurred during the time we
were buying flies. All kinds
of people brought in flies, lad
les, dressed up fine, well
dressed men, men in overalls,
barefoot kids with tattered
trousers and nice little girls
handed in their sack or pail
of flies and departed with a
smile of satisfaction as they
counted over the money.
One kid spilled the beans
when he turned in SITS worth
of flies. Sam caught all these
but didn't have the nerve to
sell them, so he give me 80
cents to bring them in for
him.
One big fellow stood out on
the sidewalk and took the 30
cents away from a little fell
low that carried in the flies.
The flies will be sold to the
highest bidder. Who wants
them?

THE SINGING FISH

Among the Solomon Islands
in the South sfacific Ocean
there is a fish which the ma
tives call the Happy Mer-
maid"
During spawning time great
numbers of these fish come
into the lagoons and at night,
when the tropical moon is at
its brightest, these strange
fish come close to shore, and
floating on the surface of the
water, emit peculiar though
by no means unmusical
sounds.
When thousands of fish line
the shores the sound increases
in volume until, at a little dis
lance, it somewhat resembles
the soft singing of a hugh
choir.
There is q fish in this cOun-
try belonging to the sucker
family that is quite as strange.
He spends practically all of
his time on land, navigates on
two legs and yet is always in
Deep Water"
He trades aimlessly about
from store to store or drifts
into the habit of trading at
one place, just because its
handy or because he enjoys
the privilege of a charge ac-
count. Never does he take into
consideration the price he is
paying for these acomoda-
tiOns.
The wise shopper reads the
ads, studies prices, store con-
ditions, quality etc. and spends
his money accordingly.
It's up to every one of US
to read the ads. They are a
part of our education.
The business firms of to-
day realize the imp Ftance of
truthful, instructi1e advertiz-
ing. While their are writ
ten to sell theiI products,
they also carry an Educational
message to you. Take for ex-
ample, automobile advertising
we owe the major portion of
our knowledge of various
kinds Of cars to reading the
automobile ads.
Why then, spend money
enough each year for cloth
ing, feed and groceries to bu,
a good car without first &C
quainting yourself with exist
ing conditions in your town
Read the ads it pays.
