FLY SWEATING" ADVISED
BY EXPERTS ON HEALTH

ATLANTA-The time for swat
ting the fly, is at hand, according
to state health authorities. In fact
they say, the fly should haIe been
"swatted'' all the winter. Now, as
hey poin out, it is important that the
"swatting" be postponed no longer. In
few weeks the house fly will become
both a pest and menace. Only by
persistent fighting with swatters, traps
fly paper and every other device, the
authorities point out, can the fly
kept out OF homes and away from
food one eats and the babies one loves
A campaign has been and is being
waged against the mosquito menace
by the health authorities in some sec
tons of the State The mosquito, the
health experts say, is the side-partner
of the fly as a danger to humanity and
must be conquered in the interest OF
community health. The fly and the
mosquito, it is stated, constitute the
chief menaces in the spring and sum-
n1er.
Good screening of windows and the
doors will keep most of the pest out
of the homes. Some of course, get
in anyhw, when doors are opened or
window screens. are not as tight as
they should be. These the authorities
assert, should be promptly 'swatted.

Thursday night sounded like a chapter
from the book of Acts as The recounted
his marvellous conversion and how
since he has seen in Jesus of Naza-
eth the Messiah OF his people "hs

Israel is they may be saved. His
sincerity and earnestness, gripped the

against the tax on gasoline without

conclusion.
Rep. Cherry of Passport spoke in
favor OF exemption, saying that the
act in its present form, would be
an injustice to the fishermen in his
section.
Rep. Leland of Sangerville Defend
ed the bill. He said that nearly
every one is benefited by good roads
and the fishermen would receive lust
as much benefit from improved
highways as any other class of peo-
pie.
Rep. LamSon of South Portland
said he was against the tax on gas

were taxes enough now, but If the
State was to have a gasoline tax
measure, he thought that all should
pay it.
Rep. Rogers of Roclland said that
there is more gasoline sold in his
city for motor boats than there is for
automobiles. The fishermen in his
section do not favor the bill, he
said.

PREFERRED TO ACT AS A MOB

Even brave men in a mob act cow
ardly because a mob is cowardly, but
it seems pertinent to inquire whether
there were in Herrin, Illinois, any
brave men prior to and during the
massacre. Evidence is now being
presented at the trial to show that
the strike breakers and armed guards
sent to the Lester mine, resorted to
efforts to terrorize the community.
that they did this to provoke a con-
flict, which would require the state
to send troops to protect the opera
lions at this mine. But why, with the
sheriff a strike sympathizer and all
the machinery of the law in the
hands of the Herrinites, didn't they
take legal steps to stop the lawless-
ness of strike breakers? 1t would
seem they preferred to do it as mob
rather than by methods provided for
maintenance of law and order.

KEEP THE AGREEMENT

It would be both interesting and in

purpose Of destroying the naval linz

We are told of England scheming
to avoid the restrictions and then we
receive her emphatic denial. Rumors
come Of duplicity among the Japan
csc and then the denials; OF Frances
unwillingness to sign and Of her deci-
sion to do SO.
In every country under the sun are
those who for selfish reasons advo-
cate expenditures of public money. To
a man, they naturally are interestd
i'll having restrictions removed
Nothing helps their purpose more
than do the pacifists who go about
mounting peace while in reality
working to the contrary.
