A good time to eradicate lice from
poultry is during the late summer or
early fall At this time weather con-
ditions are usually favorable for dip
ping, most of the young fowls are
we'll matured, and much OF the SUI
perflous stock has been disposed OF,
so that there are fewer birds to treat.
Sodium flouride, either as dust or
as dip, is very effective in killing
lice. If the treatment can precede
moulting it probably would be bet
ter, although there is very little dan
ger of reinfestation from lice on
moulted feathers.

GREENSBORO, N. c.. September
30-After nine years of experiment.
| ing. Edward Simmington. a cigar
maker, believes he has perfected the
model of a lighter.than-air monoplane
which will make flying as safe as mo-
toring.
While other inventors have been
delving into the secrets of bird flight
to construct wing-flapping, motorless
machines, Simmington has been work
ing with light metals and gas in an
effort to eliminate nose dives. tail
spins and other hazards of present
day flight.
Helium gas in the wings and fusi-
lage to make the motor-propelled craft
lighter than air is the principle upon
which Simmington has stal1ed many
hours Of toll in his strange little
workshop after the days business OF
making cigars is over.
Rounded Wings Planned.
The plane would be so feet from
wing-tip to wing-tip, its length 100
feet. The wings, Is feet wide, would
be rounded instead of virtually flat as
in most successful flying craft. BY
carving the passenger cabin and
motor beneath the fusilage, Simming-
ton hopes to achieve an equilibrium
which he says will cause the ship to
right itself no matter what sudden
force swerves it from it's balance.
Another innovation sought by the
inventor is to assure that ice and sleet
cannot form on the plane and cause
trouble. To avert this he has con-
structed pipes leading from the ex.
haust into the wings and will heat
up the surface sufficiently to prevent
trouble from the elements. In like
manner he would cause the helium to
expand and in this way regain buoy
ancy when small leaks develop.
Never Has Flown.
Several days ago. witnesses say, he
filed his model with gas from the ex-
haust of his automobile and 1t demon
strated that he apparently has solved
the problem of a lghter-than-air craft,
which will be as maneuverable as
heavier machines.
Strangely enough, Simmington has
never been for a flight in an airplane.

he can make flying safe.

BERTHA WINS ANOTHER
A large number of Sank Cent

"A large number OF Sank Centre
people went to Melrose Sunday,
where they attended the Bertha
N. P. baseball game, which was
sponsored by the American Legion
post of that city. The game, up to
the fifth inning, was all that could
be expected. However, in that in
ming the Bertha players batted the
ball around the lot and gathered in
five counters. The rest of the
game went along snappy. Bertha
gathered two more counters to
their credit in the eighth, making
the total 7 to 0. About 1900
people witnessed the demonstration
and everyone received their mon
ey's worth. The Melrose kid team
defeated a similar team from AL
bany. These two teams were con-
testing for the American Legion
championship of Stearns County.
This game was staged before the
large event and was greatly en-
joyed by the fans. 1t is under
stood that the gate at the Melrose
game totaled $3.50. It is very
likely that after the tStearns Coun-
ty fair a game between Bertha and
some other fast ball team will be
staged in this city.
