Mans war against disease and of
death cannot reach it's full measure of
success until everyone begins to real
ize that the dirty fly is the most dan

tied with causing more deaths of hu-
man beings than all the beasts of prey
and poisonous reptiles put together.
Flies are known to carry and spread
more than 20 diseases, among which
typhoid fever, dysentery, infantile d.

worst. They breed rapidly. A single
pair of flies beginning May l are said
to be capable of producing nearly
6,0OO,0O0,OOO flies by the last of July.

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE IN
WASHINGTON VOTE?

The District of Columbia, which
includes Washington, was ceded to
the Federal government as the seat
of the national government. The
Constitution says Congress shall
exercise exclusive legislation in all
cases whatsoever over such dis
trict." This was deemed necessary
in order to safeguard the best inter-
ests of the government. Were this
not the case the local government
might adopt policies which would
embarrass the President and Con-
gress. A capital without politics
was the ideal of the fathers who
made the Constitution. Washington
does not belong to the residents of
the District of Columbia but to all
of the people of the United States,
who govern it through their repre-
sentatives. Those who live on the
government reservation" called
Washington and the District of
Columbia have no part in its admin
istration.-The Pathfinder.

that the dominating note can be eff
fectively carried out in the design,
or some new color might be sue
cessfully introduced.
In the living room, reception room,
or library a formal classic design
will be suitable, while for girls
bedroom a border of delicate vines
of flowers is preferable. All sorts of
bird, animal or nursery rhyme fig
ures would delight the children in
their bedrooms and playrooms. For
dining rooms, delicately colored,
conventional flower and leaf pat
terms are pleasing. Much depends,
however, on the character of the
furniture and the architecture of the
room. Where heavy, period furniture
is being used a stronger, more for
NAL pattern will be required.
After the pattern and the colors
have been selected the next thing to
figure is the size of the stencil orn-
ament in proportion to the size of
the room or panel to be decorated.
For large wall with high ceilings
large stencil will be needed, while
the rule reverses for the small wall.
Too, the higher up and farther away
stencil is used the stronger it may
be both in design and color, with
out it's appearing over-decorative.
Ordinary color and background
stencils, which contain pattern cut
through for the purpose of transfer
ring the full design to the surface,
are applied to the wall after the
ground color has completely dried.
In the case of wipe out" stencils,
the stencil is applied before the wall
has dried. The color is then wiped
out between the stencil lines with a
clean piece of cloth, leaving the
wall color to form the design.
Stenciling should be started at a
point on the wall that will locate
the principal figures in the design
eother in panels or spaces between
corners. Special corner stencils are
available, or by careful figuring and
management it is possible to shorten
up an inch at time so that the cor
ners will match up perfectly. Do
not, however, place any of the cen
tral motifs in corners
A stenciled wall will do much to-
ward simplifying effective decora-
ton of a room. But apart from the
attractiveness of this type of treat
ment, it can be recommended from a
practical standpoint. The decora-
ton as we'll as being IS durable as
the painted wall upon which it is ap-
piled, can be very easily kept free of
dirt with a damp cloth, and its color
may at any time be renewed with
out difficulty, giving fresh appear
ance to the wall finish

JERSEY BREEDERS HOLD
61sT ANNUAL MEETING
Greatest Year In History Reported

New York, June-Jersey breeders
from almost every state in the Union
assembled here at the Hotel Penn
sylvania on June 5 to attend the 61st
Annual Meeting of the American
Jersey Cattle Club.
Reports of the officers showed
that in the fiscal year ending March
31st, the volume of business handled
was the greatest in the history of
the club. Registrations of purebred
Jerseys totaled 1850, an increase
of 1877 per cent over last year dur
ing which an increase of 20 per
cent was recorded. Breeders re-
ported an excellent, demand for Jer-
sey cattle and Jersey products thru
out the entire country with no sur
plus.
Samuel F. Crabbe, of Fargo, N. D.,
was unanimously reelected presi-
dent of the organization for the en-
suing year. Mr.. Crabbe has been an
outstanding Jersey breeder and is
widely known in agricultural and
engineering circles in the North
west. New directors elected to the
board are:, Herbert Farrell, Nash
Vile, Tenn; R. c. Twav Louisville,
KY; ]. ]. Grathwol, Excelsior, Mimi.
and S. R. Head, Hannibal, Missouri.
Mr.. George w. Sisson, Jr., of
Potsdam, New York, was appointed
vice-president by the board of di-
rectors.
Milford chronicle., 1929-06-14

DR.. Frank B. Morrison, of Cor
nell University, presented some ex-
tremely interesting facts on feeding
in his address, Mineral and Vita
min Requirement of Dairy Cows"
given during the meeting. A. ].
Glover, editor of Hoard's Dairyman,
delivered an enlightening address
on testing, health regulations and
breeding theories in relation to the
dairy industry in his talk, Some
Essentials of Successful Dairying."
Lewis w. Morley, secretary of
the club, presented the formal re-
port for the past year. He stated
that representatives of the Exten-
sion Department of the organization
assisted in forming 63 purebred bull
associations and placed 1928 pure
bred Jersey bulls and 2I6S pure
bred Jersey COWS and heifers during
1928 in addition to the general rout-
inc of stimulating better dairying
and a broader interest in the Jer-
sey breed of cattle. In the twelve
months these representatives par
ticipated in programs promoting
more profitable dairying that were
presented to a total of 272,425 per-
sons attending 1926 community
and state meetings. Mr.. Morley
also reported a good demand for
Jerseys throughout the United
States, particularly in Texas, Ohio
and Missouri, the three leading
states in registration for the year;
21, ,249 new breeders of Jersey the
American Jersey Cattle Club in
1928.
During the past year 2,734 official
production test records were COM
pleted by Jersey COWS and accepted
by the Register of Merit Depart
ment of the club. The 365-day test
records showed an average yield of
524.62 lbs. of butterfat per cow. This
average yield represents tests COM
pleted by COWS of all ages. At the
present time there are 3,430 COWS on
Register of Merit test. This is an
increase of 6.S per cent over last
year.
The most outstanding Jersey rec
ord of all time was completed in
1928 when Abigail of Hillside fin
ished 365-day test of 1,197.51 lbs.
of butterfat in 23,677 lbs. of milk.
This is the highest butterfat and
milk yield ever credited to a Jersey
COW. 1t is her second record of
more than 1000 lbs. of butterfat.
She is owned by j. T. Carpenter, of
Shelburne Falls, Mass.

IS HOOVER'S son ELIGIBLE
TO THE PRESIDENCY

Would Hoover's sons be eligible
to the presidency? For one reason
or another, this question has been
on the tip of many tongues since
Inauguration. The speculation is, of
course, invited by the fact that Her
bert Hoover jr. and Allan Hoover
were both born in England and be-
cause our Constitution says that
mo person except a natural-born
citizen shall be eligible to the
Office of president"
Many persons interpret this as
forever stilling presidential aspira-
tions of the Hoover boys-if they
have any.
But it is not so-the young Hoov-
ers despite their London birth, are
natural-born in the sense of being
eligible to the presidency. To set
tie the question the Pathfinder re-
ferred it to the State Department
and a statement by Green H. Hack
worth, its solicitor, upholds that
opinion.
"It is contrary to the rule of the
department to undertake to render
dill ODluIOh upOn q 4uCOIAOD 0DAO10
it is involved in case in which the
department is called upon to take
official action" explains Mr.. Hack
worth. However, 1 quote for your
convenience Section 1898 of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States:
All children heretofore born or
hereafter born out of the limits and
jurisdiction of the United States,
whose fathers were or may be at the
time of their birth citizens hereof,
are declared to be citizens of the
United States; but the rights OF cit
izenship shall not descend to chill
dren whose fathers never resided in
the United States.
THE provision just quoted" con-
tinues Mr.. Hackworth, "is based
upon an act of Congress of Feb. 10,
1885. 1t will be noted that Section
1898 does not use the words natural
born. The same is true of the pro-
visions of the act of 1855 upon which
it is based. 1t may be observed,
however, that the original statutory
provision concerning children born
abroad of American citizens was
found in an act of Congress of
March 26, 1890, which provided as
follows:
And the children of citizens
of the United States, that may be
born beyond sea, or out of the limits
of the United States, shall be con-
sidered as natural-born citizens:
Provided, That the right of citizen
ship shall not descend to persons
whose fathers have never been resi-
dent of the United States. = The

STENCIL DECORATIONS FOR
WALLS
Martin


There are, without doubt, any
number of new and unusual wall
finishes-but there is one particu-
larly successful method of decora-
ton for the plain painted wall,
which is both artistic and practical,
and that is stencilling.
To ornament the walls of a room
by means of stencil design is nei-
ther fad nor novel idea. In many
of the eighteenth century American
homes there were found stencilled
floors as we'll as walls. The designs
for the most part were quaint and
simple, embodying, however, subtle
combinations of design and color.
There need be nothing bizarre
about modern stencil decoration. The
same charm of the old patterns can
still be btained-lovely effects ap-
propriate to each individual type of
room. AS a matter of fact, stencil
should never be gaudy or snowy in
either design or color, since its
purpose is to serve as supplement
tary decoration.
The choice of a pattern precedes
the selection of color. 1t must be in
keeping with the size and architect
ural plan of the room it is to deco
rate. Before selecting the stencil,
therefore, the size of room, and its
general proportions must be deter
mined. Should the ceiling be too high
a stencil border, quite strong in pat
tern, used as a chair rail around the
wallsfi seemingly lowers it. Low
ceilings, on the other hand, can be
raised in effect, by placing a mar
low border just under the ceiling
edge.
The rooms furnishings will Rave
some control over the colors to be
I'D n,tae wall stencil. 1t may be
