Since that time Iowa has been
her home, residing for the greater

for a short period in the town of
Kxira. Nine years ago last Febru
ary her faithful companion was

monstrated to the onlookers the
other morning as while crossing
the Park ground he encountered a
mad cow trying to escape from a
bunch belonging to Mr. Benton.
The cow as soon as she discovered
him made a lunge for him head
down and ready for business. A1
swung his coat in her face and then
made a hike for a bench and then
swung himself up into the branch
es of a tree then they do say he slip
ped down and Bought safety under
the bench anyway he ia glad to
know he is still alive in the flesh.

WEDDING BELLS
A Model Young Couple Of Cameron
Towhship, Whose Future?:,
Bespeaks Happiness.
Last Wednesday eve, Aug. 24, at
eight o'clock occurred the marriage
of Margaret Sbaw to Charles E.

rents just south of Gray. The home
was beautifully decorated with pink
and white roses and green leaves.
The bridal couple stood in front of
a bay window under an arch of lace
and roses.
The bride was dressed in laven
der satin with white silk lace trim
mings, wore a veil and crown of
Orange Blossoms and each wore a
boqnet of Orange Blossoms. The
groom was dressed in black. The

Just a part of the relatives and
most intimate friendB were present.
After the marriage ceremony they
partook of a wedding feast—three
course supper. As soon as the wed
ding feast was over the bride was
charivaried by two auto loads of

THE FLV GETS SWATTED
Mankind has lately joined in a new
battle,—this time with an enemy so
puny and insignificant that the con
flict seems far less serious than it really
is. The object sought is the extermi
nation of the common house fly, which
has lately cams to be known as the ty
phoid fly.
The ladies have been right all the
time, it seems. Long ago they reach
ed the conclusion that the fly waa a
nuisance, if not something worse and
they have waged single-handed a re
lentless warfare against the pesky in
sect. Their efforts, however, were
vain for the simple reason that the men
were breeding the pests in their filthy
barn yards several times as fast as they
could be poisoned or caught on Tangle
foot. It is really no wonder tbat the
women have become cross and peevish
occasionally because of the buzzing
swarms which beset their kitchen
doors. They have had a perfect right
to be "cranky," since a little effort on
the part of their thoughtless helpmeets
would have made the matter so much
easier for them.
In a very true sense, every farm yard
breeds its own flies, for the majority
of them never leave the premises,
which were their birthplaces, unless
other farm yards are unusually near.
Moreover, the MAN about the place is
to blame, for by allowing manure
heaps to accumulate about the barns,
he provides a natural INCUBATOR,
which enables the flies to breed in mil
lions or even greater numbers.
If he would be as cleanly about the
barnyard as l^is housekeeper is indoore,
he would of course save her a great
deal of her annoyance and worry over
the fly questipii. But this is not all by
any means. He would put a stop to
pretty nearly all tjie digestive di^eages
that are wont to afflict his household
in the summer time. TYPHOID, SUM
MER COMPLAINT, DYSKNTKBY, and all
the other similar maladies, which bring
sickness and death into our homes,
are FILTH-BRED diseases, and the way
to keep free of them is to prevent the
breeding of the flies, which go straight
from the manure heaps and other loath
some places to the kitchens and dining
room tables. The idea that typhoid is
communicated by water, is now known
to be only partially true, at least, as
applied to country homes.
The remedy is to haul the manure
heaps out weekly and scatter them
where they can dry out. Suulight
kills both eggs and maggots.
How obsolete old ideas are becoming!
is ot so many years ago, the belief was
common that tlies were simply scaven
gers. and therefore necessary and use
ful. But now we know that the last
idea above has resulted in deaths ia
countless millions, that really were
easily preventable.
