MEET EARLY
SATURDAY EVE
Evangelist to Preach on
Dancing - Start at
Seven O'clock
(Contri'buted)


The great tabernacle meetings,
now in progress in our city, have
had far reaching influence in
the entire community. Special del
egations for miles around are at
tending services. The influence
seems to be spreading to the
length and breadth of the entire
valley. For years the spirit of
prayer has never prevailed as it
is at the present time. Various
prayer meetings are being con-
Quoted each day which have car
ried results far beyond expecta-
tions.
Tuesday night two delegations
were present from Hover and Fin
ley. Every means of transporta-
tion was utilized to- bring the
crowd to the tabernacle. The spe-
cial musical program was arrang-
ed by the delegation. Each night
this week special delegations will
be the guests at the tabernacle.
Friday night will be known as
Commercial club and Businessmen's
night. A special delegation repre-
senting the Businessmen of Pasco
is expected. This will be a unique
service. The evangelist announced
to speak on the subject 'fProfit and
Loss" This being his message to
the business folk of the commun-
ity.
Saturday night the service will

begin promptly at seven o'clock
in place of seven-thirty owing to
the glee club entertainment at the
Methodist church. The subject for
Saturday night THE Carnival Of
Death" or "The Modern Dance" "
will be the evangelists theme, this
being one of his most widely
known sermons.
The campaign is expected to run
for the next two or three weeks
as the crowds and interest are in
creasing with each service.

AUxILIARY CoNTRIBUTEs

Contributions of ten dollars each
were made to the state funds for
child welfare work, hospitaliza-
tion and Americanization by the
local American Legion Auxiliary
at the regular business meeting
last Wednesday night. The Kenne-
wick chapter is in the sixth state
district, with headquarters at Wal
la Walla, and each chapter in the
state is expected to contribute to
these special funds. The work in
the various departments is state
wide in its scope and is being done
by the state Legion officials.

labor adapted to work in the cot
ton fields under a Southern sun
was one of the principal factors in
the expansion of slavery which led
to the Civil War. The need of
Lancashire spinners for Southern
cotton produced dangerously
strained relations between England
and the North during that struggle.
Cotton has been a spur TO Eng
lands colonial policy, and the de-
velopment of cotton fields in Egypt,
Sudan, Mesopotamia, Australia and
elsewhere, in addition to the extern

been a constant British purpose.
And so, during centuries of time
and from layette to shroud, man
has been surrounded by cotton to
such a degree that the romantic

gree, it has become American. It
is a magnificent resource of the
United States and the cause of a
more or less reluctant tribute from
other lands wherein many great
textile plants are dependent for
their very existence upon an unin-
terrupted supply of American raw
cotton.
For this reason, the staple has
been recognized as the largest item
in our exports during more than
one hundred years, and has
brought more gold to the United

VOU probably already have had
n annoying reminders that fIy
time again has arrived. IL fl u
most important time and q most
important circumstance. It Is be-
cause OF this fact that, for sew
era1 years at about this season. 4
have written one or more articles
on the subject / make no apoI-
ogy for keeping up the custom.
This year am basing my review
on the latest data, that furnished
by O'RiOrdan in the Journal Of
State Medicine for February. 1923.
The common house fly Is nor
mally about q quarter Of an inch
long, greenish-grey In color. The
thOrax, or the middle part OF the
body, is marked above with four
narrow black stripes. The sides
Of the abdomen, or the hinder
part Of the body, IS more or less
buff cOIored III the male and often
also iii the female. The insect is
covered with numerous hairs. 10
all these hairs germs and filth
cling. while the pads on the feet
can carry thousands Of disease
germs. The mouth has no biting
parts, but the fly lives By suck
ing up liquid food through It's
proboscate OF tubular tongue,
which ends in two lip-like struc-
lures which are pushed into the
food. The fly feeds on filth,
regurgitates upon food and causes
much contamination in this way.
In the first warm weeks OF
spring, flies which have secreted
themselves in creyices or cocoOns
in hidden dirt come out. As the
numbers are few at this time,
strong measures should be
adopted. An excellent plan Is to
spray possible breeding places
with the following mixture: Car
bolic, five parts: citroneIIa oil. one
part; paraffin oil, fourteen parts.
When the female fly wants to
lay her eggs she finds q good
place In accommodations Of fer.
n-enting manure. exposed human
faeces, decaying and fermenting
organic matter OF various kinds,
ashpits. accumulations Of rub
bish and offal, crevices in cook
houses, rooms, pantries, latrines,
dustbins and dirty poultry yards.
The eggs are clustering and
white and are laid in patches Of
about 80 to 100 at a time. A
single fly may lay several
patches. The eggs hatch out into
maggots sr larvae, tiny white
footless worms about half an inch
long. They are fully developed
IN two or five days. They then
pass into the pupa stage which
lasts. according to Temperatures,
Tor three or four days or week.
The pupa is barrel-shaped shell
about q quarter of an inch long,
at first yellow but becomes sue
cessively red, brown and finally
black. When the fly energies
from this case 1t ait first lacks
color, has wizened look and
cannot fly.
Breeding usually ceases with
the coming OF cool weather in
autumn. For this reason it is
important to destroy all flies,
females especially, early in the
year and so lessen breeding.
Large numbers are killed In the
autumn by q parasitic fungus,
and the victims can be seen
stuck to windows by out groWths
from the fungus.
Anything to which the house
fly has access In in danger 0f
being contaminated BY disease
germs, For this reason flies
should not be allowed to settle
on sick people or anybody suffer
ing from contagious disease.
