NINE SIMPLE RULES IN THE WAR AGAINST FLIES

 8. Leave no dirt, garbage or food about for them to feed and breed on. H. Do not allow decaying material of any sort to accumulate. 6. All refuse which tends to fsrment, including straw, paper waste and vegetable matter, should be burned or covered with lime or kerosene. 6. All food should be screened or kept in fy-tight places.
 2. All receptacIes for garbage should have tight lids and be sprinkIed daily with kerosene or lime. 8. See that all sewage appliances are kept in good order. that they do not leak and are not exposed to flies. 9.

been abundantly proven by actual experi- ment. Flies have been allowed to walk over cultures of disease bacteria, and sfterward over sterile plates of culture medium. A rich crop of germs has always developed from their footprints.
 They not only carry the diseases already specifically named, but many others which work harm to human kind.
 What can be done about it?
 Boards of health, city, state and
 national, are spending millions of
 dollars annually to stamp out the k breeding places and enforce regu- \ lations to prevent flies from con- \ dominating food. { M But for the individual house M holder, 20 far as he and his family E are concerned, the fight is in his H own hands.

School Board Won Suit
Started By Bonding Co.
JUDGE BRElDENBAcH HANDS
DOWN DECISION INVOLVING
NEARLY $4,000

Last Saturday, the School Board of
the Eagle River Union Free High
School District, were notified that the
legal action in which they were defen-
dants, VS.. the Maryland Casualty Com
pany were plaintiffs, tried in circuit
court III Milwaukee county early in
October, had been decided in their
favor, and involved the sum of APP
proximately $17000.O0. Briefly told,
the lawsuit was the result of the
bonding companys refusal to reim-
burse the district for losses incurred
by the inability of the Hub City Con-
struction Company of Stoughton to
satisfactorily complete their contract
for building the new high school, and
instead began suit against the district
officers. The decision of the Judge
granted all of the counter claims en-
tered by the board, and the result is
naturally gratifying to them as we'll

DECISION

The evidence, am satisfied, shows
that the School District made pay
ments to the contractor or its assigns
in substantial compliance with the
contract up to the 10th Of March, 1923
About that time, however, progress in
construction became greatly delayed
and stoppage was threatened. An ar
rangement, then entered into between
the School District and the First Ma
tional Bank of Eagle River, whereby
payments were made to the contrac-
tors account to cover payrolls and
current bills, was adopted for the pur-
pose of avoiding further delay and to
prevent entire stoppage of the work.
The checks drawn on said account
under this new arrangement were O..
K'ed by Mr.. G.. III. Adams, clerk of
the School District, from and after
May 9Th, 1928, and the checks so
drawn and O. K'ed were in payment
of wages of laborers and cost of mat
erials and freig hit charg e S.

"A TEMPEST m A TEAPoTV

One of the unpleasant things in con
neotion with the publication OF a
newspaper, in small towns, at least,
is that OCCASIONALLY, in fairness to all
it's readers and subscribers, it must
give space to contributed matter or
paid advertising, which does not have
the approval of the paper itself, and
in the majority Of cases would be bet
ter left out. We are confronted this
week with one of that nature, an
article of paid advertising from the
Modern Woodmen Lodge of Eagle
River We were given the copy last
week and omitted it in the hope that
the lodge would reconsider it's action,
which by the way, we. believe was one
that would not have had the support
of such members as have the best
interests of their local lodge and the
community in general at heart. We
truy believe that the articles as it
appears elsewhere will react more
unfavorably upon those responsible
for its publication, than upon those
against whom it is directed.

Fargo, N. d., Dec. 3O.-Chinese
wheat when crossed with American
common wheat may develop Il new
and valuable variety of this staple
grain for farmers of the Northwest,
according to l.. R. Waldron, plant
breeder at the North Dakota Agri-

"The high yielding qualities of
Some Chinese wheat received last
spring ut the college may prove of
great value for crossing with our
common wheats," Mr.. Waldron de-
clares. 1--WE are trying to produce a
strain that will be high yielding,
rust resistant and of good quality"
The Chinese wheat, according to
the plant breeder, has the merit of
producing a good yield per plant, Of
ten having as many as 100 kernels
on each head. Common wheats sell
dom produce more than so. The
grain in Chinese wheat is evidently
Of very low quality, however, and the
plants are susceptible to rust and
other diseases.
Mr.. Waldron hopes to produce a
new wheat variety which combines
the high yielding quality of the
Chinese wheat and the rust resist
ance and good quality of the Ameri-
can common wheats.
1T should be possible" he says,
"by crossing it with other strains
that are resistant to rust and have
good quality and by selecting few
plants from the offspring to even
tually get plants combining all of
the desired characteristics sand not
having the undesirable ones.
