Wheat Invulnerable
to Dreaded Rust

Aberdeen, S. D.->-A r. S. Nc
Fadden, grain growers of Webster,
announced today that he had dis
covered a brand of wheat which he
described as invulnerable from the at
tacks of black rust.
McFadden's discovery followed Is
years experimentation on his farm
and the success of his work had been
tested by United States experiment
stations where he claims were borne
out.
The new blend of wheat which he
claims is immune from rust is COM
posed of mixture of hard red spring
wheat crossed with the Emmerorspletz
stem. This grain had stood six years
of thorough tests and during this
time has repulsed every attempt to
infiict the rust.

No Lawn Fertilizer
Means Brown Patches

Most lawns require a fertilizer, as
there is an absence of certain neces-
sary elements in the soil which make
for healthy grass.
Many home owners when, they note
large brown patches on the lawn i'm
mediately attribute the condition to
lack of proper moisture, when in many
instances it is lack of proper plant
food
It is an excellent plan to give the
lawn light application of COM

PICK FLY FOR
NATIONAL ENEMY
Fly is Singled Out by the
Georges Institute as
Next Victim.
MOST DANGEROUS PEST

Chicago-(SpeciaD The 4housefly is
out by the Gorgas Memorial Institute,
which proposes devoting much of it's
energies in conducting fight on the
national insect" during the rest of
the "fiy season."
1.-THE common housefly has long
been one of mans most annoying and
most dangerous pests" said Arthur G.
Stringer, associate director of the
Gorgas Institute. "He is filthy. He Is
a disease carrier. He is a deadly nui-
sance.
"The problem of controlling and
suppressing the fly nuisance is per-
haps more difficult than. Kidding the
country of mosquitoes, since the fly
will breed in manure, decayed fruit,
garbage pals, or in any ether filthy
place that will furnish sufficient heat
to hatch the eggs. Accordingly the
fight against the .housefly requires
the enlistment in the anti-fly army
of every householder, whose sector
will be his own premises, which he
can guard by keeping it free from
all possible breeding places.
Put Up Screens.
Screening houses should be done
by all means, but screening is merely
an expedient to combat an evil which
will continue to exist so long as there
are convenient breeding places. 1t is
necessary, therefore, to go to the
source and clean it out, thereby max
ing this campaign of prevention
rather than cure"
The Gorgas Me -aorial Institute is
sued the followip~ rules for the swat
the fly" campaign:
Keep garbage pals we'll covered.
Have them Frequently emptied.
Garbage should be burned or if sold
to hog feeders, municipal authorities
should have control of sanitary con-
ditions.
Chicken pens should be kept clean.
Sewage should be carefully protect
ed from flies. Where sewer systems
are not in use, sewage should be
treated with borax, by scattering the
powder over the exposed surface two
or three times a week, so as to whiten
it.
Watch Your Yards.
Streets should be kept clean and all
animal refuse removed.
Fly-tight pits or bins should be US
ed for temporary storage of manure
from stables.
"If these rules are adhered to, the
housefly, lacking its customary breed
ing places, will soon become extinct,
since flies seldom if ever live through
the winter" said Mr.. Stringer. "The
increased use of automobiles and
steam and electric roads in cities is
making the house-fly a rsnall town
nuisance, since these modern means
Of transportation are replacing the
horse, the stables and the barnyards,
which are favored places for the
housefly.
"The Importance Of these measures
can be realized when we consider the
diseases which flies are kncwu to
carry. Typhoid, dysentery, tuberculos-
is, cholera, enteritis inflammation Of
the intestine) are all Known to be car
ried by flies and there is strong evil
dence to support the contention that
they also carry many other deadly di-
seases, including anthrax, yaws, api-
thalmia, small pox, and tropical sore"

FUNNY BREAKS

Some of the funniest things in print are not those produced by writers who try to be humorous, but are the result of accident, through careless writing and proofreading.
 The following paragraphs are some recent sample, all of which actually appeared in various American news papers and magazines:
 ''The family was made i'll by pan tomime poisoning"
 'Drury and John Lacey wish to an nounce that the Lacy caught at Lida is no relation of theirs. They claim none of their folks has ever been caught"

tions engaging in that unholy orgy Of death and destruction.
 Even in peace times it can not be denied that the prevalence of crime, especially in the United States, is a rather sorry example to hold up to the heathen. No wonder they are skeptical of Western culture and reli- zion. when such fruits are borne by our vaunted white civilization.
 Abiding to this phase of the prob lem, Robert Doan of Columbus ex- pressed the view that "practicing Christianity at home is more essential than preaching it abroad"
 Rev. Kirk is no doubt sound in his idea that we have much to learn of philosophy and true morality from some of the Eastern peoples. The Or ientals have been from time immemor- ial given to serious meditation on these problems.
 We might also remember that Christianity, like all the other princi- pal religions of the world, had it's be- ginning in Asia.

INDIANS INCREASE

Many people who live in sections where there is no Indian population are under the impression that the red men are dying out, but this is by no means the case.
 According to government reports, Indian population in the United States reached it's lowest point in 1887, when there were only 243,299. But since that time steady increase has been noted and in 1924 there were 346,962 identified with the various tribes, while some 6O,O00 more had given up their tribal affiliations and are now counted with the general population, making the total more than 100000.
 From these figures it may be seen that the original 100 per cent Ameri- can is far from being extinct. In fact. it is believed that the number of In- dians in the United States today is al- most as great as at the time America was discovered in 1492.
 It is true that those classed as h. dians at present are not all fullblood but the majority are and many of them have become highly civilized.
 Hundreds of them are quite veal thy, especially in Oklahoma, where the discovery of oil made much of the allotted land extremely valuable.
 Back in the early days someone said "the only good Indian is the dead Indian" but times and Indians have changed since then and many of them are now substantial and useful citi- zens.

SURVEY FOR HARBOR FOR SMALL CRAFT AT
 SEWARD IS ASSURED

Colonel James c. Steese, Presi dent of the Alaska Road Commis- sion, Engineer Officer detailed to the Army Board of Rivers and Harbors Improvements, for Alaska, confirm ed the report that Congress had au- thorized the Army Board of Engin- eers to make a survey of the waters of Resurrection Bay adjacent to Seward for the purpose of making report as to site and cost of con- struction of a breakwater, or other similar device, to serve as a harbor of refuge for small craft.
 Colonel Steese expected that upon his return to Seward he would find his orders and specifications instruct ing him to proceed at once with the survey.
 Senator Wesley l.. Jones, of the State of Washington, said Colonel Steese, at the personal request of Mayor L. V. Ray, made an item of proposed Congressional Legislation, matter of emergency. and the Sen ator was able to secure the passage of the law.
 Mayor Ray stated he had written Senator Jones, calling his attention to the visit personally made by the Sanator to Saward and aided hV the report furnished by Deputy Collec- tor Abrams had no difficulty in Wash ington in securing the action taken. Ray also stated the Senator in- formed him that as he had, while at Seward, actually walked up the bed of Lowell Creek and had personal knowledge of the seriousness of the situation, he would, when the Lowell Creek Measure came to the Senate, make such legislation a matter of personal interest and attention.
 As to Lowell Creek; Col. Steese reported that the illness of Chair man Curry, alone, prevented the en- actment into law of the legislation required to authorize the method of relief proposed by his engineers, bas- ed to a considerable extent upon the survey of Walter Lukens, which sur vey, the Town of Seward had pro- cured and paid for

WHY MAKE TT WORSE?

In spite of all that we may possess of knowledge, philosophy and religion, when viewed in it's stern reality, life is a tragic thing. We may be pro- foundly thankful for the fact that hope springs eternal in the human breast"
 Man, like every living creature, is born under the sentence of death which rests alike upon the king on his throne and the murderer in his cell. None is exempt.
 That we can cheerfully and hope fully carry on" in the face of this certainty and in the midst of the trials of our daily existence is convincing ev- idence of mans courage and forti- tude.
 These reflections are not intended to spread gloom or Encouragement, but are merely a reminder that, taken at it's best, there is enough of anguish in the world. without anyone seeking to make the burden of another harder to bear.
 Along the thorny paths of life each can do much to aid, comfort and en. courage his neighbor Why, then should we choose to do those things which needlessly bring added misery to others instead of joy?

Addressing a world conference of missionaries recently, the Rev. Har- ris Kirk of Baltimore declared that "heathens have good reason for dis. liking civilization, because it always introduces the vices and evils of civi- lized countries
 He also predicted that the world will eventually look to the Orient for political and moral leadership.
