Chatty was In a church which
was holding a midday comfort"
service. a half hour withdrawal
from the world.
The little sermon was very short.
to Chatty IL wcs very impressive.
The young minister took as his
text a verse from the first epiStle
general OF John; IF we confess our
sins. He is faithful and just to for
give us our sins, and TO cleanse US
from all un-ighteousness."
1t was q very simple talk. but
straight from tn shoulder.
TO be sorry for wrong done Is
good said the minister. But to
be sorry and confess it to the
wronged one, is to make the sorrow
evident, and to remove the cause Of
failure from our minds.
Chatty thought ii over very care
fully. She had confessed to Billie
and felt much better, as far as Bill
lie was concerned. Never had she
felt so close to her -lother. as after
she had told that best of friends
all the evil that was in her heart
and from what CHASTITY error she
had been saved by the accident.
She had felt some s~elf-respect
when she told -1r. Van Nuys she
was sorry she had disgraced her
self in public.
But there were other wrongs she
had not ~confessedI And something
seemed to pursue her rs an evil in
fluence, something prevented her
getting a job. something was in the
wa yof her complete rehabilitation
Chatty began to think-dimly and
with difficulty. because Chattv was
not accustomed to thinking clearly
OF herself-that the fault must III
altogether with her. Not only III
what she had done-but IN what
she was not now doing.
Nightly she wished for Billie In
talk It over. There was her mother
but Ctatty shrank from telling her
mother more about her troubles.
her III health, too little money not
enough work, anxiety.
Il have to fight this out for NV
self" Chatty determined, sturdiiy.
Gradually there grew up In Chat
tvs mind the idea or self-sacri-
flee.
She had done many evil things.
Reforming herself and not doing
them any more, was as good as far
as 1t went.
But 1t didn't 60 far enough.
II she was really 10 stand clean
and clear before the world. the
judgment Of which Is as harsh AZ
1t Is, often. unfair. Chatty realized
she must make what PREPARATION she
could.
1t was not enough to tell Billie
and her mother Of the harm she
had done; she must tell those she
had harmed.
Chatty shrank from this conclu-
sion as from a blow In the face. To
tell Agnes she had stolen her diary?

Fly Menace and Clean Orchards

In the matter OF fruit fly infestations eternal
vigilance is the price Of safety and freedom"
Announcement Of federal department Of agricul-
tutre inspectors that a heavy infestation Of the Mo-
relos fly has been found in Matamoros Just across
the border accents the necessity for strict adherence
to the letter and spirit Of regulations concerning
cleanup Of Valley orchards.
Although hundreds Of flies have been found In
Matamoros none Of the pests have been discovered In
orchards along this side Of the Rio Grande up TO the
present time. However, a thorough inspection OF
orchards all along the river front is being made and
should the pest be located on this side there Is posi-
hiHty that drastic changes would be made In regula-
tions under which the citrus crop just now ripening
could be shipped.
The fly in Mexico is a menace. In the Valley it IS
a disaster.
M. Il. Ford. inspector In charge Of the pest control
project in the Valley. issued an appeal Monday to
Valley orchardists that they keep their premises clean
Of all fahcn fruit and that they remove ell possible
sources Of infestation other than the good fruit on
the trees.
Ford also appealed to residents OF Valley towns 10
be careful about harboring q host for the fly about
their homes. He urged careful destruction OF all
fallen fruit about the yards and elimination Of all
possible means Of the fly propagating.
Dealers in fruit we're warned that they must Keep
all fruit offered for sale carefully screened at all
times.
The Mexican government has granted full au-
thority for q thorough cleanup in Matamoros and the
surrounding country and the United States depart
ment Of agriculture has authorized expenditure Of
money for the work across the border.
The City Of Matamoros will be cleaned up first
and this will be followed by a thorough inspection and
cleanup Of all the orchards In Mexico along the river
opposite the Valley.
There Is q possibility that the fly can be extermi-
mated in the area opposite the Valley and a certainty
Il can be controlled.
determination win further protect Valley or
chards.
There Is no reason for hysteria over the discovery
OF the Matamoros infestation. but there Is need for
observance of the quarantine regulations-to the
letter.
