and smoke pipe Of tobacco or drink
water Cruel He also took tobacco
In the form Of snuff Mr.. Bacon, who
kept celebrated westinghouse north

arabic companion. Many a merry
night they spent together over their
cups of foaming ale or bowls of whis-
ky toddy. and on some Of these occa-
sions Scotland's great bard composed
several Of his bestowed convivial
songs. The bard and innkeeper be-
came so attached to each other that,
as token Of regard, Burns gave Ba-

years had been his pocket companion.

Trapping the Fly Pest


in the control of the house fly
although the limitations of these
devices must be recognized and
orher methods of control also
practiced. There are two chief
classes of flies that can be caught
in traps-those that breed in
animal matter or become a pest
to livestock, and those that breed
in vegetable as we'll as ami
NAL matter. The former con-
sist mainly Of the so.called blow
| flies. including the screw-wori III
fly; in the other group the ortin-
arv house fly is the most impolt-
ant. The latter is attracted by
almost any moist material, espec-
tally that having an odor. The
general principle involved in
nearly all fly-fraps is modified to
fit different conditions, as in the
window trap which catches the
flies as they endeavor to enter or
leave a building; the garbage can
trap and tile manure box trap,
which retains flies bred in the
containers. Lighi is an import
ant factor i'll the success of all
traps, for flies have a marked
tendency to go toward the light |
Many commercial traps are Oh
the market but anyone with a |
few tools can construct traps att
a small fraction of the sale price,
of the ready-made ones. TheI
coulcal hoop trap which appearsl
from extensive tests to be most |
durable, easily. Inadet
and repaired can also be made
quite cheaply. 1t consists of a
screen cylinder with a barrel
hoop frame containing a screenl
cone inside. The total cost OIL
one should not exceed sol
cents. The tent trap is not con-
sldered as effective as the conf
cal type. A type OF modified
tent trap may be used in a will
dow. 1t is adaptable also to barns
and building where foodstuffs
are prepared. Properly baited
traps to catch sore w-worm flies
are good near watering placesl
where cattle congregate.
A mixture of cheap black
strap" molasses and water is an
economical and effective bait for
the house fly. One part of mo-
lasses is mixed with three parts
water. Brown.sugar syrup allow-I
ed to ferment is good if mixed in
the proportion of one part brown
ugar to four parts of water. A |
small amount OF vinegar added
hastens fermentation. If honey
bees are attracted by this bait
some other kind should be used. |
Milk is the next choice to cane
molasses as a cheap and conven-
lent attraction. The curd from
the milk combined with brown
sugar and water is very good |
bait.
Fly-traps must be properly |
cared for and placed in suitable
locations. The bait should bel
contained III broad and shallow |
pans. Traps should be emptied
of dead flies at least once a week. |

sticky fly paper and poisoned
and other bats is contained in

 ATTACKS REDUCTION
Wouldn't Help Farmer. Says Little
 Rock Official

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, October B. Reduction of railroad wheat and flour freight rates on export ship ments would not be felt by the man raising wheat while the effect on the carriers would be near disastrous. James F. German. president of the Rock Island lines, declared here to- night before the Little Rock Board of Commerce
 Every one is trying to help the wheat farmer, but no one is more anxious to see him prosper than the railroad companies.' President Cor man said. If he Is prosperous the railroad companies arc prosperous; if he fails. we too fail.
 "If the reduction in freight rates would do anything worth while, for him we might consent to reduction but the record of the United States agricultural department discloses that 10 per cent reduction in rates On all grain for the average Kansas farmer would mean about s10 year to the farmer, while from IGwa 1t would mean only s6 or s7 year.
 The transportation act should be left undisturbed. It Is new. It has not worked perfectly. it could not be expected to. but it Is splendid piece of ieGislatiN0

GIANT DIRIGIBLE IS TO ATTEMPT TRIP ACROSS ATLANTIC
Fitted Like Pullman, ZR-3 Can Accommodate Many
 Passengers On Flight

PARIS, Oct. S.-The ZR-3, tho worlds largest dirigible and the latest thing in air luxury. will be ready for it's Atlantic voyage to the United States early in No- vember. according to word received in official American circles here.
 Whatever use the United States makes of this giant craft, it will have a super airship, which accord ing to it's German constructors, sur passes even the ZR-1 that has just completed It's St. Louis voyage, The German built craft which inciden tally is one of the few items Of repa- rations that America won from the war, is being constructed at the Zep- pelin factories at Friedrichafen, on Lake Constance, under the super vision of American naval officers.
 The ZR-3, which was provided for in the peace treaty. is nearly as big as the Woolworth building. Its length is G56 feet, with maximum diameter of 90 feet and maximum height of 103 feet.
 The craft contains sleeping com partments similar to those of Pull man. with passenger cabins, kitchen and a luxurious furnished dining room with large windows.
 The ship will be driven by two thousand horse power. produced by five engines. Two and half million cubic feet of hydrogen gas are re- ouired to fully inflate the huge bag.
 Several short trial trips will be made on this side before the ZR-3 hops off for it's transatlantic flirht to Ialzehurst, x. J.

TIME SOUTH BEGAN TO ASSERT ITSELF, SAYS UNDERWOOD
Dixie Has Not Demanded An Adequate Voice In Gov
 ernment, He Claims
. WASHINGTON BUREAU !
 THE 4GE-HERALD !

It is time that the south aban- doned its timidity and demanded a voice in the government. according to Senator oscar w. Underwood of Alabama In statement to the people of Texas today.
 Senator Underwood was declining a suggestion by his friends that he talk of the embryonic presidential campaign and indulge in criticism of other democrats who might have presidential aspirations. He am nounced that on his forthcoming trip to Texas he would talk of domestic and foreign conditions, point out the flaws In the policies of the repub- lican regime and offer what he re- garded as remedies.
 southern people, seemingly" said the senator, have been discrimi- mated against. Possibly we are in part responsible. We have not de- manded an adequate voice in the government.
 For instance, there is the matter of freight rates, the interstate com merce commission has exclusive ju- risdiction over this most vital ma tier and yet tho south. although a great empire within itself. has had during the last 40 years, only five members of the commission"
 The senator pointed out other in- stances which he regarded as perti- nent. Irrespective of whatever am btion he might have. he holds it essential that the south demand its proportionate dues.
 Senator Underwood left tonight for Tennessee. where he will remain for several days. He will then go to Texas for the purpose of making ad- dresses in the principal cities of that state. An Underwood campaign committee has been organized in Dallas.

WALTONS COUNTER ATTACK ON OKLAHOMA ELECTION IS' BEGUN WITH LEGAL ACTION
Cry Of "The King Is Dead Long Live The King' Flushed When Walton Reminds That He Is
 Still The Governor

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Oct. B. (By Associated Press. )-Gov. J. c. Walton's attack on the legality of yesterdays election on a constitu- tional amendment to permit an inn peachment session of the state legis- lature Nas in full swing tonight, with moro than a third of the returns in the state not yet tabulated.
 His first gun in the after election fight was fired today when he sought and obtained in state district court a temporary restraining order prevent ing the state election board from cer- tifying the returns to the secretary of state.
 Hearing on the application to make the order permanent was set for Oc- tober 9. Observers on both sides an ticipated a lull in the contest be- tween the governor and the legisla- ture until then.
 The order was granted by Judge Tom C. Chambers, Jr., an appointee of Governor Walton.
 In his application the executive all legged the election was illegal because the proposed constitutional amend ments submitted were not properly advertised before the election. He declared that thousands of armed special deputies commissioned by sheriffs throughout the state had in timidated voters and that this, com bined with alleged influence exerted by the Ku Klux Klan, had kept more than 100000 persons from the polls.

 No Repudiation, Is Claim.
 Close advisers of the governor de- clared the election yesterday could not be regarded as a repudlation of him. They said that In the general election of 1922 more than 50O,0O0 votes were cast, while in yesterdays election they estimated the total vote will not exceed 300,00O when the of- ficial count is made. They explained that they expected 75r000 of the votes cast to be against the amendment. This, they pointed out, would leave
