'Robert Tyler, who spent tho win ter In Georgia, returned to his homo Tuesday. order to migrate, they have to bo carried away. They do not travel far of their own volition. A fly Is tho best friend and the most valunblo aid, in a pecuniary way, of doctors, nurses, hospitals, and drug stores. It gives them all plenty to do. Its feet bear tilth and disease to your food and to the re ceptacles In which your food Is cook ed and served. The man who re Christened this Insect tho "typhoid fly" knew his business and the fly's business. That is what tho fly is for, besides being a common nuisance. He has a special and devellsh mission in the world to spread typhoid and any other loathsome disease that he may. Now is the time to put him out of business, unless you are in terested in keeping him on his job. Swat the fly! Next-July. -a safe and sane Fourth of Boost Honesdale don't talk down. To it you owe your living. it The lid is now down tight in Honesdale, Sundays, much to tho credit of Burgess C. A. McCarty. Buy and wear Honesdale made goods none better in the country. If It were not so, why do our fac tories keep humming to supply the demand of out-of-town buyers? The coal strike is having its effect on the manufacture of the better grade of paper. Paper manufactur ers and paper jobbers throughout the country have notified tho trade of an advance of 10 per cent. In prices. This means that tho price of printed matter will have to be ad vanced correspondingly. A bill Introduced in the House of Representatives embodies an idea that has been favored by the War Department for some time past and which is approved by Secretary Stlmson. The measure provides for creating a national military reserve composed of men who have served in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps and been honorably discharged. These men, while engaged in civic pursuits, will he under obligation to respond at once In case of an emer gency calling for defenders of the country. While on this "waiting list," as it may be called, the re servists aro to receive a small com pensation. The advantage of the arrangement would he that the na tion would have always within call a considerable force of men experi enced in military and naval duty, who could be readily mobilized and who would be far more efficient than recruits hastily put into tho field. The scheme has often been suggest ed. It is now submitted for Con gressional approval, and tho merits of the proposition should entitle It to serious consideration. FLY CAMPAIGN. The hot, damp weather of this week Is a fly-breeder, and If you have not put door and window screens in use, tho probabilities aro that a new popu lation has made entrance to your homes. See that the covers are on tho garbage can, and nothing about your premises to feed flies, and see that tho first flies aro captured or killed. Tho flies of the first few days of warm weather aro tho ances tors of billions of flies that aro yet to come. If you kill tho ancestors, tho number of descendants will bo small. If you let them live, the Job of kill ing off their posterity will probably be beyond your later industry and zeal. A fly lays something like six mil lion eggs, raoro or less, If It has a fair chance. If you think of this fact when you see tho first fly rovlvlng under tho beneficent heat of tho sun or tho kitchen range, you will loso no time In cutting off that particular fly family In Its beginning. Kill the first flies, cleanse and keep clean, and by all means keep covered your garbago cans, and tho fly pest will avoid your premises and your food. T3ven your neighbor's flies, if there Tjo any, need troublo you but little, for tho entomologists havo discover ed that flies, llko cats, tend to hang a"bout tho place of their nativity.
