August is housefiy season in
Minnesota. Housewives and food
purveyors are especially cautioned
in this weeks Minnesota State
Medical association bulletin to
keep flies out of houses and away
from food.
It is impossible to measure ex-
actly what the role of the fly may
have been in any given epidemic of
infectious disease or food poison
ing, according to this bulletin. But
the ability of the fly to carry dead
ly disease germs and filth is well
established. Health authorities all
agree that many otherwise unex-
|plained outbreaks of disease or
food poisoning can be laid to the
account of the house fly.
Flies breed in filth. They feed
upon it, carry it with them on legs,
wings, bodies and deposit it from
crop or intestines wherever they
light There is nothing at all to
prevent them from carrying late
summer infections. even poliomy-

THE GAZETIES EDITORIAL AND FEATURE PAGE I
Which Page?

n EWSPAPER publishers smile at times
" and are peeved at others when some
one bringing in news demands, 'get
this on the front page" or some advertiser
demands page three, five, seven or some
other for his copy.
The inference of course is that more
people see and read the page requested. This
is only a theory and fortunately not all ad-
vertisers have the same theory, otherwise
there would have to be several pages Of
the same number in every issue.
There are only eight columns on The
Gazette's front page and they cannot pos
sibly contain all the news of this community
every week. The result is considerable news
Of equal or nearly equal Importance is scat
tered through the inside pages. We say
scattered because this is exactly what is
done, deliberately. We aim to make every
page contain news of interest to every
reader
We have often watched persons buying
papers and their method of reading. Usual
ly the first page is glanced through, then
each page gets about equal attention in
turn. Then the paper is carefully folded and
carried away for more careful reading. We
have seen people vary the procedure by
turning first to the want ads, to Mary's
Lam or some other feature but the final
result is always the same.
We presume the average Gazette con-
tains over thousand items of one kind or
another, half or more of them sent in by
some 26 correspondents in scattered local
tiles. Yet leave out the weeks contribution
of one of these writer's and we hear an up
roar from subscribers.
Coverage of news which makes people
practically study papers contents is the
secret, with having sufficient circulation, of
making advertising produce results.

In The Backseat

TT ISN'T with any great amount of grace
that Redwood Falls admits the smaller
= communities around it have an edge on
anything. We don't expect any roar of ap-
plause from here at home, therefore, when
we mention baseball, softball and lighted
fields.
The county seat is to have lighted foot
ball at last and it is presumed the lights will
be used for softball, but only after several
neighboring villages have worn off the nov
city of lighted games.
Kittenball encounters with neighboring
teams haven't distinguished the Redwood
Falls league members with more than deter
mined efforts while another baseball season
has passed into history with little to recon-
mend it so far as the Scenic City is concern
ed.
Who brought this subject up?
Life insurance payments to Minnesota
policyholders and beneficiaries last year
totalled $51, 10000 which exceeded the ex-
penditure of WPA in the state, listed as
SAC, ,495, 900. This represents $19.75 for each
citizen of the state or $140,8 800 day if con-
sidered from that angle. It was Is per cent
more than was paid in 1884.

EVERYBODY'S HEALTH

elitis from the sick to the well.
To eradicate flies completely it
will be necessary to eradicate their
breeding places, usually in piles of
refuse or manure, or to screen
these places adequately. Such era
dication comes slowly in most
communities. In the meantime
householders, restaurant keepers,
food sellers can keep them out Of
houses, eating places and stores by
adequate screening, use of insect
sprays and the homely fly swatter.
Swatting the fly viii not solve the
community fly problem but it is
recommended by the physicians az

 T had that idea, too" Bob said grlnning. But Virginia convinced me that l was wrong. I've al- ways been c weak willGd person Y
 "Thero's nothing wrong with both the wife and the husband working, Toby insisted. "ItB the solution to modern conditions. Or ct least, ita been the solution for the past five or six years.

 "TtB not entirely c matter of prlde," Steve told him. i've never believed c married woman should work--not when there ire thousands of single girls looking for jobs and not finding them.
 "rhatB a spacious argument" Bob put in. "Oh, I'll grant that there arc some married women working in officeS-if1arried women who could get along on their husbands salary. But mostly they're women who are 50 well trained that their job could't really bo filled by the average single girl looking for q job. Let's take Vir- ginia and myself GS an example Suppose I hand't married her2 She'd Do working at her job, just aS ShO ii now. So what difference docB t make to tho unemployment Situa- ton whether we're married or ui1- married. No, Steve ....1 think you're trying to work up c logi- cal, economic argument to justi- fy your pride"
 Steve smiled slowly. Maybe so."
 "Weli," put in Toby, twisting i'm. patiently in his chair, "fd even go ono step further than Bob."
 "What do you mean7" asked Steve, raising his head.
 Bob and Virginia took c big chance whey they married"
 with duo respect to Bob, I can't sec that they did" Steve argued, Both have jobs. Either Job would probably support the two of them, if they were careful and willing to make sacrifices. can't sec that they took any chance at all."
 "You'ro wrong Steve" said Toby, rising and walking toward the box of Cigarets on the little table. Cares fully he took ono Up, lighted 1t. Look here. It's q well known fact about human nature that people want what they can't have.

I'm afraid I'm not following you very we'll" Steve said.
 "There'B only ono sensible solution to the problem of two people in love who can't marry for economic rOasong," Toby Lynch went on, "Th0y should simply share an apartment together, split ell the oxs pOnBeB. Then when business returns to normal, when all the salary cuts arc restored and tho birds start singing in the trees, these two can look at each other and decide whether they should really marry"
 "ft8 Q nice Idea for the man." Steve said quietly. But what hap- pens to tho girl2 know it's a very modern world--but most people still think lot of tho marriage rite"
 Toby Snorted, You'd Dc surprised at tho number Of such young couples right in this town today. And as for tho giri-any woman who's really tn love b willing to make tho Bac- rince. l tell you, Steve, it's the only way. You won't loge any of your real friends, and the others don't matter.

 Cleveland, Aug. l8.-(UP)-Rc. turns from significant political con- ventions and conferences held so far in this campaign year reveal an enthusiastic and confident anti Roosevelt movement developing from coast to coast. Some observers believe that minority repudiations of MT. Roosevelt in behalf of Cam didate William Lemke of the union party, greatly increases chances of the election of Gov. Ali M. Landon. The coalition of democrats, various classifcations Of republicans and Independents and liberals which elected MT. Roosevelt in 1882 is dis- integrating on the left and right.
 Passed In Review
 The most formidable movement Of that nature passed in review here last week in Father Charles E. Coughlin's convention of the Na- tional Union for Social Justice. He claims 100000 active members and 100000 additional sympathizers, making minimum of 100000 prospective anti-Roosevelt voters under his leadership alone. And the priest says if he doesn't get at least 9,000,000 votes for Lemke he will give up the radio. He will be on the air again next month and each Saturday night thereafter during the campaign.

 Neither Man Spoke Louis sat behind the scales as Sharkey was checked in. He wore a green gabardine jacket over his bare shoulders, oxfords and pair of ring trunks. Neither fighter spoke to the other. They merely stared. When Walker had finished his examina- ton he said, "I'll see you tonight at the ring, Jack"
