HOLDEN : F, ONE of these fine mornings, during these days of war, you should see an enemy soldier in full uniform and heavily armed, parading down the street, what would you do? What would any loyal American citizen do? = “i 5) You might not be greatly frightened ‘at one soldier but would you let him go unmolested if you knew that he would find a way, by.the middle of June, of bringing nearly half a million of his comrades to pur community ; that by the middle of July he‘would have-nearly 26,000,000; by the middle of August 93,000,000,000, and by the middle of September fully 5,500,000,000,000 of hts fellow soldiers in your midst? Enemy Is in Our Midst. Yet, perhaps you saw an enemy this véry day—not a uniformed soldier, but a fly, heavily armed, plotting your destruction, q The rapidity with which flies multiply Is amazing. One wintered-over The Fly Carries Disea Our Homes, and Death Into female fly on April 1 will, if unmolested, produce a progeny by September 10 of 5,508,730,000,000, according to the calculation of Dr. How- ard, chief ehtomologist at Wash- ington, D, C. ) If every wintered-over fly were ‘killed when it first peared in the spring the'fly men- ace would soon be solved. To kill one early in the season is as effective ag killing millions in midsummer, Fly time Is upon us. Already the wintered-over flies are mak- ing their appearance. They will soon be rapidly increasing. We must begin now to fight the fly. We must not let one escape if we can help it. Man- kind has no more deadly enemy than the fly. They kill thou- sands of people every year. Most of the victims are little children. Typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, summer complaint, tuberculosis and other intestinal diseases may be spread by germs carried by the fly. It is better to prevent sick- ness than to wait until the dis- ease has been contracted and then attempt to cure it. It is safer and-easier to keep flies out-of our homes by. proper screening, by trap- ping flies and by destroying their breeding places than to get them out when they once are in, “In exterminating the fly, the first and most important slep is to get rid of its breeding place. The manure pile is the most prolific source of the -fly nuisance. In this they are born, on It they feed, over it they crawl as fully matured flies, Flies Indicate Filth. Manure should never be left to stand in-a pile. -It-leaches away-; loses its value as fertilizer; provides breeding places for ‘files, Wherever you find flies you will find filth, The garbage can or swill barrel should be kept covered. stable whitewashed. covered. We should keep our premises cléan. We must destroy the breeding places of the fly; and we business buildings. A pig pen-should be kept dry and clean-and the Food should not be left exposed. Milk should be kept We should screen our homes and must starve him. We should organize against the fly, just as we would organ- ize against an Invading army. A movement to‘ destroy the fly is an important step in a campaign of conservation. The fly is a menace to the conservation of food; to the conservation of health; to the conservation of human life. A special fly campaign should be started in every community now—today. Everyone, the old and young, the schools, the churches, the newspapers, the clty officials, the merchants, the bankers and professional men should co- ‘operate. REV. DANFORD SEES SONS OFF \>. FOR THE WAR » ‘ : Dr. 8. A. Danford, former superin- tendent\of the Bismarck district Meth- odist church, ig-in the city after a visit to Camp Lewis, where he said good bye.to his boys before they started on teheir long journey, both in the 91st division, now en route to France. Dr. Danford reports that the Meth- odist camp meeting at Jamestown has the largest attendance this year in the history of the institution. Bishop W. F. Oldham spoke three times to i |tord reports, {Smith of the Philadelphia conference great audiences overflowing the large tabernacle. The offering for Meth- odist missions, chiefly to be devoted to work in South America, under Bishop Oldham, will amount to nearly $1,000. Rev. Arthur Wesley, D. D., of the Rock River conference, has given con- spicuous service to the league con- vention and camp meeting. Dr. Dan- and. Rev. Joseph H. of the Methodist church is a promi- nent worker, as is also Rev. Dr. Bab- cock of Los Angeles. Dr. Danford is in attendance fér his fourteenth con- secutive year'as manager of the camp, but he has signified his ntiention of retiring from active participation. here- after, a decision which is regretted by the association. Dr. J. G .Morrison, editor of “The Methodist” has:charge of the singing, with Paul Brown, Hettinger banker, as pianist. Rev, F. W. Gress of Mott has charge of the young people's de- partment. The attendance of Epworth leaguers has been larger than ever before. Two thousand dollars was promptly raised for the purpose of ad-! certising the samp meeting and to hold revivals in remote and neglected | fields. Dr. Morrison will have charge of this work. GIVES FIELD FOR BiG SHOW Head of the Bismarck Transfer Company Places 320 Acres at Disposal of Council IDEALLY SITUATED PLAT A half-section of as tough virgin prairie sod as a plow ever bit into has been donated by G. C. Wachter of the Wachter Transfer Co. for the four- day tractor show to be held here be- ginning July 3 in connection with the North Dakota Council of Defense Loy- alty Week demonstration.: The lend lies just north of the capitol. adjoin- ing Thompson's grove, which offers an ideal spot for booths, restaurants ead rest rooms to be arranged by the Red Cross. Red Cross lady taxi-cab driv- ers will transport people to and from the grounds for a small fee which will be turned into the Red Cross treas- ury. Red Cross ladies also will have all concesstons at the grounds. At least twenty of the best known tractors in the northwest are assured for the meeting. A number cf other manufacturers are interested and ma enter machines. Farmers from all parts of the Slope are planving to come in for the week. Messrs. Vields, Copeland and Peterson of tae tractor committee are having the .gyounds freed from small stones and other ob- structions. Very little work needs to. be done. The tract for years, has been used as a pasture by the Wachter Transfer Co., and it is im fine condi- tion. Mr. Wachter is making a decided sacrifice in contributing this plot, but it was the most desirable pat within easy reach of town, and he vatriotic- ally donated it to the sood cause.

FRENCH OFFICIAL | WAR STATEMENT | 6 Scot = retired in 2 j * Paris, July t.--¥rench troops last night carried out an operation on the Marne front south of the Ourcq which resulted in the improvement of the French positions in the vicinity of Bassy-en ‘, alois. The Germans counterattacked in an effort to recoved the ground gainea by the French Saturday night in the vicinity of Mosley, on this front. The enemy was repulsed, the French re- taining their new positions in their entirety. Taking the aggressive south of the Aisne the French captired a German strong point near Cutzy southwest of Soissons, adding to their recent gains in this sector. The statement follows: “Between Montdidier and Noyon the French carried out several raids, taking 20 prisoners. South of the Aisne we captured a strong German point north of Cutry and 6 prisoners remained in our hands. “South of the Ourcq our troops im- proved their positions between Passy- en-Valois and Vainloup, advancing their lines east of the Chezy-Vinly rail road. German counter attacks against the new French positions southeast of Mosley resulted in spirited fighting. at the conclusion of which our troops were holding all their gains of the day before. In the course of these actions we took about 200 prisoners. “Everywhere else the night calm.” . was BUY W, 8. S.—— MRS. CUSHING PUBLICITY HEAD The complete list of appointments for the heads of the various depart-, ments of the Woman’s Committee of the National Council of Defense, has not been made public as yet, but Mrs. F, L. Conklin of Bismarck, who has entire charge of this work in North Dakota is rapidly rounding out her program, which will be published shortly. Mrs. W. F. Cushing of Far- g0, who was a member of the press committee has now been appointed chairman of the publicity committee and under the new ruling, all ma- terial sent out from the national head- quarters is mailed directly to her, and she has charge of the work of sending it out to the press of the state. In this manner, word of the work that the women are doing and the fields that are open to them, reaches the people in a more efficient way than under the old ruling. Splendid recog- nition has been shown the women by all the officials and heads of depart- ments in Washington, and they are doing all that they are able to in helping the work along. Among the heads of departments already ap- pointed by Mrs. Conklin are Mrs. A. A, Devine, Wahpeton, head of the chil- dren's work, and Mrs. J. E. Stevens, Lawton. head of the health depart- ment.

Extension to Fort Yates, State: May WOULD ‘SAVE MILLIONS In view of the urgent, demand which is anticipated for hay’in North Dakota this fall, and because the most con- venient shipping point on Standing Rock reservation, which is one of the state's best sources of; hay, now has no. rail- facilities, ..the.North, Dakota Council of Defense’ is: contemplating; as a war measure, the laying of the thirty, miles of’ rails required to con- nect Cannonball with Fort: Yates: The grade is already constructed. Only two new culverts are required. Secretary Thomas Allan Box has in- vestigated and discovered that sécond- hand rails suitable for this purpose are availavle, and if Director General ‘McAdoo should decide that ‘his admin- istration cannot handle'this necessary construction, the council of defense will be asked to issue bonds and build the road. Prompt action is necessary if the Cannonball-Fort Yates line is to be completed in time to handle this season’s crop. (Last year, while North Dakotans not more than 200 miles from the res- ervation, were forced to send over in- to Minnesota and pay fancy prices for hay, the Standing Rock crop, which was loaded on cars around $6 and $7 the ton, was shipped out of the state into Montana, because the Milwaukee line is the only system offering Sioux county. railway facilities. It is esti- mated that at least $1,000,000 tons of good hay will be available on Stand- ing Rock this fall. The present charge of hauling from Fort Yates to Cannon- ball, the nearest North Dakota rail point, is 08, while with a railroad con- structed this freight charge would moré than cover the cost of trans- portations to the most distant point in North Dakota. The council of defense also is con- sidering a proposal that it lease sev- eral hundred thousand acres of Stand- ing Rock grazing land and employ tractor outfits in harvesting the hay crop next year, thus. still further re- ducing the cost .of feed to North Da- kota stock growers.
