State Challenged
To Better Record.

Storden-New champions are being
discovered every day, but here is one
whose record is a challenge to the en-
tire state. Simon OleSon began driv-
ing Irvine binders in the year 1888, when
he was IL years of age, and he has
operated them every year since that
time-a total of SIS years. Although re-
tired from the farm the last II years,
Mr.. Oleson is still as spry as a two
year-old, and he has made it a point to
operate a binder each year, just to
keep the record going. Now he chal-
lenges anyone in the state to beat his
record. Back in the old days, when
binders first came into use there were
no experts to fix them when they re-
fused to work. The local saleman was
called and he in turn usually found it
necessary to call an expert from the
factory. While waiting for the factory
man on one such occasion, Simon fixed
the binder, hitched the three horses
to it and was cutting grain when the
expert arrived. This man told Mr..
blossoms father, Keep that boy on the
binder" and as a result Simon was
the binder doctor" for years in the
of Holstein, Iowa. Irvine
binders may have come into use year
or so before 1883, but if there's a man
who has cut grain with them every
year for more than SIS years, Mr.. OLE
son would like to hear from him.

FORCE NOTING.

Every year at this time many poultry
raisers begin to ask whether forcing
an early summer mott is profitable
The question is, of course, based on the
theory that if the hens are forced to
mott now they will have it all over with
and be ready to lay again when the
prices rise in the fall. That sounds
nice, to be sure. But from practical
standpoint it has several flaws. The
first, and one Of the most important
is that an early, natural mott is one
of the surest ways of detecting the poor
layers. Force them all into an early
mott and you can't tell the culls from
good layers. A second flaw is that
you can't make a good layer out of
poor one even if you give her a long
vacation which she will take
anyway without any help from you.
But if you force this early mott, which
you can do if you wish, you will simply
be feeding a lot of loafers all through

THE FIGHT ON THE FLY.

The most effective way of freeing
your home of flies is to cooperate with
your entire community in eradicating
from the locality in which you live re-
fuse on which these dangerous insects
breed.
Flies thrive on filth-any decaying
vegetable and animal matter The fly
has a keen sense of smell and is at
tracted to the house by food odors, and
any foods left exposed are bound to be
discovered.
There is laboratory proof that more
than 80 different disease organisms and
parasitic worms can be carried by the
fly. They are notorious carriers of bac-
terra responsible for summer diarrhea
to which children are susceptible
Health history has shown that where
an epidemic of summer diarrhea is
prevalent, flies are breeding and feast
ing.
There are protective measures which
any family can take to safeguard it's
food supply and home from flies A
general cleanup campaign for the re-
moval of refuse and rubbish in the
whole community is essential An i'm
portant step toward eradicating flies
is the efficient disposal of garbage and
barnyard manure. Screening doors and
windows is the first preventive measure
to keep flies out of the house. Food in
the home and in the grocery store
should always be screened or covered.
Fly traps, if properly constructed,
well-placed and well-baited, are effec-
tive in catching flies. The Bulletin,
Ely Traps and Their Operation" is
available for cents from the Super
intendent of Documents, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.
Spraying the house on summer days
is becoming an indoor sport. There are
many fly sprays on the market, but it
must be remembered that most sprays
deteriorate if stored for some time in
glass bottles exposed to the sun light
Householders will find helpful the
bulletin entitled, 1.-THE Housefly and
How to Suppress It," available for 5
cents from the Superintendent of Docu-
mentS in Washington.

DON'T IGNORE
TRAFFIC LAWS
Ely Police Chief Cites Penalties
for Violations in Plea for
Safe Driving.

1t pays to observe traffic laws and it
is especially wise not to drive while in
toXicated, Chief Douglas Nankervis of
the Ely police force said this week in
outlining some of the penalties manda-
tory upon the court to inflict in case of
convictions.
Persons convicted of driving while
intoxicated automatically lose their
drivers licenses for one year, Chief
Nankervis points out. After such a
driver loses his license, he must petit
ton the court to be reinStated, and, if
he is reissued license, he must post
security in the form of a bond or in
slIrance policy in the sum of $1,000
with the drivers license bureau of the
state.
Upon three convictions of reckless
driving, driver may have his license
revoked for one year.
One fact involving accidents where a
property damage judgment has been
rendered, that is not generally known,
Chief Nankervis said, is that when
judgement for 500 Or more has been
given, the plaintiff can have the de-
PENDANTS license revoked until the
judgement is satisfied
Thirty-three arrests for reckless
driving and IS for drunken driving have
been made by the Ely police force since
traffic opened this spring, the chief
said in summing up the local situation.
Ely people as rule drive carefully,
he said, but there is one safety rule
that is not being observed as rigidly as
it should. Motorists often drive into
the safety zone at stop" streets, there
by forcing pedestrians crossing the
street in front of the car to walk in the
lane of traffic.
Ely youngsters are being permitted to
ride bicycles on sidewalks in the resi-
Dental, but not in the business Sec
ton of town. At night, bicycles are
required to have light in front and a
red reflector in the rear, he said, in a
plea to parents to see that their children
are properly protected from accidents

the summer in hopes of high-priced
eggs that they will not lay next fall
and, believe it or not, they must have
feed if any of them are to be in con-
dition to lay at that time.
In addition to this, most Of you
scarcely have room enough in your
poultry houses even for your pullets
and your very best old hens. Don't in
vite colds and low production by filling
them up with lot of culls. Plan so
that the houses are free for the pullets
as soon as 10 per cent of them are lay
ing. Put them and the best old hens
in the house by October, and you will
be better off.
Now for a sensible program:
l. Gull out, now, those hens that
have stopped laying. Get them when
their combs first dry up and the area
of their beaks near their faces begin to
get yellow. Don't wait until they show
mott.
2. Feed the rest for real laying-a
good mash before them all the time,
even a moist mash at noon.
3. Keep them shut in mornings so
that they will eat.
4. Keep right on culling out those
hens that can't lay under these con-
ditions.
This is an economy program. 1t
saves the feed that would otherwise be
fed to culls; it disposes of culls before
the price has hit bottom; aid it gets
eggs at a time when hens need less feed.
Best of all, you may be reasonably sure
that the hens you have left are the
producers and that you won't be robbing
them of their chance to deliver the
goods" by crowding them in with a lot
of lazy ones.

from driving more than 20 miles per
hour on trails and roads within the

Needless and wanton destruction of
upland game birds, deer and other game

said. ''This destruction must stop and
we have placed conspicuous notices of

Amazed When Fish

NORTHUMBERLAND just imagine our

Gently at Horshoe lake near Bemidji
when Wally caught crappie. Just as
he was pulling it into the boat the
northern pike jumped out of the water

And if the boys didn't have the fish
to prove their story, it would be pretty

THE MAN AT DooRN PRAYs

Press reports from Doom, Holland, de-
scribe the former Kaiser as anXlouSly fol
lowing every move in the European situa-
ton. and praying that no other world war
will be forthcoming
Well might the present leader OF the
German people take a lesson from the
past. A quarter of century ago the I'M
perial German war lord. the master of the
destinies of his people. set forth upon a
campaign to carry the German kultur to
the world.
What a difference in the martial, hrist-
ling figure of William. third emperor of
the Germans, at the beginning of the cen
turv and the praying old grey exile of
DoOrn in the year 1898.
There is a striking parallel in the past
and present leaders of the German nation.
William also built mighty army, blus-
tered across the stage of European diplo-
macy, shouted literally from the houSetops
of the might and destiny of Germany.
Bluff also was his game when he failed
to hold all the cardS-bluff carried him
through a succession of "criSes"-until

Praying today at Doorn that there will
be no war, do his thoughts go back to the
past, does he not think that he could have
averted the catastrophe of 1914. Perhaps
his thoughts in these latter years are with
the millions sacrificed. AS he goes down

he could not see twenty years ago. Per
haps his prayers are that his successor will
not make the same fatal mistake.

LEHMAN AND THE PRESIDENCY

Governor Lehman. Of New York, suprcGeS,
is hardly to be thought of in connection with the
presidency in 1910, chiefly because none seems s."
far to be thinking about him in this connection.
But if this country should make mp its mind
to search for q leader whose record OF business
management of affairs Of state indicates that he
would fit in nicely with the demands of the prcSI-
Dental office in the early future, it should turn its
thoughts at once to the governor of New York.
For the first time since 1890 New York state
now has a balanced budget 1t has cash surplus
of about s6.5OOOOO and an operating surplus Of
more than $16,6OO,Ooo,
The balanced budget marked the attainment of
one of Governor Lehman's major ohIectlve& since
he took office in 1888.
1t completely wiped out the deficit of nearly
500 100000 which he inherited from hi7 prede-
cessor, President Roosevelt.
Naturally Governor Lehman steps high theas
days and pushes forward his chest
We desperately need his kind of financial magic
in all cities and states and We especially need 1t
in the national administration at Washington
If Governor Lehman were to follow Roosevelt
in Washington as he did in Albany and hnd a
$40 600 900 600 national debt dumped at his door,
another inheritance from his old friend Roosevelt
we wonder what he would do with 1t.
We suppose he would at once begin I" reduce
il by holding the national government within ITS
income
This course of action would encourage the
nation that everybody would start whlstng merry
tunes and saving hard metallic dollars The result
would be that through the years the debt would
begin to fade away like big SNOWFALL under hot
.Tulv sun. We would like to trade lot "t our
shifty state and city officials for thrifty brand o"
mon like Governor Lehman.-Charlottc Observer.
