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 in~festation 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. q thorough inspection OF
orchards all along the river front is being made and
should the pest be located on this side there Is posi-
biIity that drastic changes would be made in regula-
lions under which the citrus crop just now ripening
could be shipped.
The fly IN Mexico is q 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 fallen fruit and that they remove all possible
sources Of i~nfestatlcn other than the good fruit on
the trees.
Ford also appealed to residents OF Valley towns to
De careful about harboring a 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 were warned that they must keep
all fruit offered for sale carefully screened at all
times.
The Mexican government has granted full au-
thority for a 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 viii be cleaned up first
and this viii be followed by a thorough inspection and
cleanup Of all the orchards in Mexico along the river
opposite the Valley.
There is a possibility that the ny can be extermi-
mated In the area opposite the Valley and a certainty
It 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.

CHAPTER So


Walk, walk. walk the streets.
Ache, ache, ache in the feet-and
the heart.
Smile, smile. smile-with tears
running down inside instead Of out
side the cheeks. Tears in the Heart
do not show through a smile.

every hand.
No one wanted q store girl. No

As once before. both mother and
Pud were patient with her. But
they knew-even Pud knew-that
things could not 90 on like this.
Mrs. Chatterton's sewing was
spasmodic as to orr ers: most OF her
trade was among people Of middle
class. to whom she was attractive
as a seamstress as much for her low
prices as for her good work. But
often they were slow in paying.

his weekly earnings were much
smaller than before.
But not even for the urgently
needed money would Chatty have
had him 90 back to the old days
and the old ways.
III is impossible for any pretty girl
to seek earnestly for work in a big
city. and rot find something. Chat
ty had two or three opportunities,
but they were not such as she could
accept. One old lady wanted a daily
companion, but a part of the job
was to travel with her. and Chatty
felt she could not leave her mother.
Another chance she had was to
act as cashier ia a small and rather
low-class movie; but when she
thankfully told her mother she said
at last. job-it only paid $l2
a week-her mother fatty forbade
her TO think of IL.
TOO much temptation, tco much
exposure to the public. No. dear,

So the wec-y walk, walk, walk
commenced again.
Chatty began to realize now. as
never before, that she had wasted
much time and effort on s,-called
friends" who were OF no use TO
her. True, Winnie would gladly
have seen her friend get a job-but
Winnie's only influence wGs with
MI. Van Nuys-and that was a clos

And Winnie's friends were not
people Of influential position.

FORMER RED LODGE
MAN DIES TN ITALY
International

Word was received in Red Lodge
last week telling of the death of
Louis Guglielmetti in Rivarolo, Italy
The exact date of his demise was not
stated, but interment was made in
the town of his birth at Feletto.
Mr.. Guglielmetti was one of the
best known Italians in Red Lodge,
coming here when only q years old
from Italy. At first he worked in
the mines, but later engaged in the
retail liquor business. The first es-
Establishment was located where the
Albin Kortez store now is and which
was known as the Eagles Nest"
Later he conducted an establishment
for many years on the site of the
Iris theatre, known as "The Pony
The last place he ran was block far
Ither south, "The Star" At one time
he was also engaged for several years
in the wholesale liquor business in
Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Guglielmetti was an orphan
and was raised in the same family
with John Micheletto. He was mar
ried and in 1920, his wifes health be-
ing very poor, it was decided to re-
turn to the old home in Italy. From
all accounts he was i'll but a short
time, death being caused by a tumor

YOUTH AND LIQUOR
END IN DISGRACE

The Carbon County News is prone
Ito overlook discretions of youth and
refrain from giving items that would
in any way injure the future lives Of
but overgrown children. However,
John Albert, in his official capacity
as sheriff Of Carbon county, raided
a seemingly untenanted house in the
early hours Sunday morning and
therein found three couples of young
people-all under age. Six gallons
of alleged liquor was also found, de-
spite the fact that quantity had
been imbibed by the boys and girls.
Two of the boys, both over the age
of 18, are now in the county jail
serving 80 day sentences, having been
arrested on complaints Of and under
warrants issued by County Attorney
E. P. Conwell. One youth, who has
not reached the age of 18, and the
three girls, who are not residents of
Red Lodge, and who are also under
the age of 18, will undoubtedly be ar
raigned under charges preferred by
District Probation Officer E m ly
Sloan. What will come of this is
problematical.
There are many vacant houses in
Red Lodge and it was in one of these
untenanted dwellings, that the lively
party was being pulled off. The
charge, so far, is that Of drunkenness
and disturbing the peace, but grave
charges are pending and the end is
not yet in sight.
The two boys were discharged from
jail Monday evening, under suspend
ed sentences.

AMERICA HONORS ITS
PIONEER MOTHERS

The celebration Of Mothers Day in
this country has been made the more
notable in recent years by the several
projects which have beer under way
for honoring the memory of one Of the
most herioc types of womanhood in
history-the pioneer mot }er.
When Mothers Day comes on this
year MAY 12) it will see the COM
pletion Of one Of these projects-th that
of erecting monuments to the pioneer
mother along the National Old Trails
route from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. These monuments now stand in
12 states-Maryland, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona and California. Okla
homa has also honored it's pioneer
mothers with a striking bit of sculp-
ture and the artist who designed this
statute has been commissioned by
Kansas for a similar wark.
In this issue of The Carbon County
News appears an article about these
pioneer mothers which you would en-
joy reading. Look for "Mothers Of
Men Who Won a Wilderness" by Ell
