HOUSEFLY IS CARRIER
OF GERMS AND DISEASE
Communities Should Practice
Precaution And Destroy
Breeding PIac«s
The houesfly loves l'ilth, and
lives and breeds in excrement
and decay, yet we let this germ
and disease carrier come into
our homes to pollute the food
we eat and scatter disease
germs over the faces of little
children.
Throughout all sections of
the country the slogan “Swat
the Fly!” is being emphasized
a n d it is a g o s p e 1
that cannot be too dili
gently preached in Arkansas.
Now is the time to see that the
screens are repaired and a
quantity of fly swatters are on
hand to be used industriously
during the summer.
Most important of all, how
ever, is the removal of the
breeding places of the fly.
Since the fly is a lover of filth,
its eggs are in excrement and
other decaying animal and
vegetable matter. The most
dangerous breeding place is in
open closets and it is in these
places that the germs of ty
phoid fever, dysentery and in
fantile diarrhea are found. The
closet pit should be dark and
tight so that flies will not en
ter and should be cleaned often
and the contents buried care
fully away from wells and
springs of water.
A “Swat the Fly” campaign
cannot be started too early. To
the slogan should be added
also “Prevent the Fly!”
Ownership means interest.
The farm boy or girl who owns
a calf, pig or some poultry has
an interest in the home farm.

FIGHT WITH KNIVES;
ONE KILLED, 4 HURT
Bloody Battle Fou^ -£ at School
Election at Dewey School
House, Fulton County
Salem, May 22.—In a Tight
with knives and clubs at a
school meeting at Dewey, in
the western part of Fulton
county Saturday, Walter Ker
ley was killed by Ed Rand, and
Richard Kerley was dangerous
ly wounded with a knife, and
his death is expected.
Ed Rand, Elmer Rand and
Charles Rand were also serious
ly hurt, but may recover. All
those involved are relatives and
the man killed is a nephew of
his slayer.
The killing is said to have
been due from a quarrel which
arose over a calf belonging to
one of the Kerley family being
turned into Rand’s field.
Walter Kerley was 38 years
old and married. He was
slabbed seven or eight times,
two of the wouns being just
under the heart, and he died
almost instantly after he re
ceive these two wounds.
Richard Kerley, Walter’s
father, is said to have been
stabbed 14 times .including 3
severe wounds in the left side.
Ed. Rand is the father of El
mer and Charles Rand, and a
brother-in-law to Richard Ker
ley, the latter having married
Rand’s sister. The two fami
lies are prominent in the sec
tion where the fight occurred
and have always borne a good
reputation. The incident of
the calf occurred two days pre
vious the cutting affair, and so
far as known, there had been
no ill fellings between the two
families previous to then.
All the survivors of the af
fair are at their homes but
nominally under arrest, being
too seriously wounded to go to
jail.
Dewey school is about five
miles from Elizabeth. A
school- election had been called,
but when the fight occurred
the gathering broke up with
out holding the election.

GOOD IN EVERYBODY
Almost every person I know
is login# the happiness he is in
search of by straining for some
thing he has not. He is living
in anticipation, not in reality.
He is not actually living today
the life to which he looked for
ward or expected to have
when he should have reached
the present stage of his career.
He is still getting ready to live;
getting ready to enjoy the fu
ture. When he gets a little
more money, a little better
house, a little more leisure, a
little more freedom from re
sponsibility, he will be ready to
enjoy life.
The man who loves only
his intimate friends, who hasn’t
love for humanity at large, is
not much of a man. It is easy
to love one’s friends. But to
follow the wonderful example
Christ set us is another matter.
Re loved everybody, especially
the weak, the poor, the down
trodden, the broken in health,
the leper, the maniac, the deaf
the blind, the lame, the out
cast, the criminal. No matter
how fallen or how despised a
human might be, Christ loved
him just the same—because he
saw the God in him.—Ex.
