Flies Avoid Blue.
A French scientist is authority
for the statement that flies have a
distinct objection to the color blue.
This was first discovered by a
farmer who keeps a large number
of cows in several sheds. One of
these sheds happened to be paint
ed blue on the inside, and in this
the cows were little troubled by
i flies. He blued the walls and thus
protected all his cows. French
farmers in the vicinity are now
adding a blue coloring to their
whitewash. Their formula is as
follows. To 20 gallons of water
add 10 pounds of slacked lime and
1 pound of ultramarine. The
walls are tinted twice during the
summer._

“Coonlng” flowers.
In our exchanges we read
the annual complaints of the steal
ing of flowers from front yards. Is
it not a strange anomaly that a
thief should love flowers, or that a
lover of flowers would steal them?
It has been said that the way to
end the annual raiding is to have
more flower gardens. Usually it is
the men, or women, boys, or girls
with no.flowers of their own who
enter door yards to gather the
blooms. If they were growing a
few plants of their own they would
not think of stealing from others.
So there is hope. The present
clean up movement and the plant a
flower garden movement will, in
time, eliminate the flower thief.
Education will overcome this evil,
just as it is overcoming many oth
ers. All the laws in the world
would not be as effective in ending
this annoyance as would cne little
bed of flowers cultivated by the
culprit. In fact, the more laws,
the more piquant will seem the fun
of breaking them. Many of us
know what it is to “coon flowers.’’
As youngters we thought it great
fun. But we know better now and
it was not the law which taught us.
What was it? Think it over.

ftettei Horses,
Several million dollars have been
spent in the United States for
horses for war purposes. The
greatest demand, of course, is for
stout, strong horses, capable of
work as cavalry mounts or for ar
tillery. The entire country has
pS0f) ggyie over ^w0 or tt,ree times
by buyers from different cowries,
and still the demand has not Jpeen
filled. The draining of the West
of horses means that in the re
habitation a better breed of horses
will be produced. It is this that
sounds the death knell to the bron
co. The government has been
working for years encouraging the
breeding of better horses. As the
demand for horses to replace those
sold for war purposes increases it
will be animals of better breeds
which will take their places.
Woodmen Have Unveiling.
The members of Sweet Bay
Gamp No. 411, W. O. W., located
here, at the request of R. H. Par
tee Camp of Felsenthal, unveiled
the monument erected by the order
over the grave of Frank Vaught -
ers, who was killed at Felsenthal.
Sunday afternoon. After the
beautiful ceremony of unveiling the
monument, all the graves of de
ceased sovereigns in Harper
Springs cemetery were decorated
with flowers.
Too Much Silage Fatal.
It required an autopsy to learn
the cause for the dying of eight
mules, part of a drove of ninety,
that belong to a Kay county farm
er, says the Oklahoma Live Stock
News. Dr. J. A. Jimmerson. the
veterinarian, returned recently
from the farm where he conducted
the examination. The owner has
fed corn silage for several months
and the mules, to the eye, looked
in fine condition, but recently some
of them became afflicted with an
unknown malady. They would gei,
down and be unable to get up and
then only when prodded and were
visibly in great pain. The only ex
ternal indication of any sickness,
was the heavy throbbing of the ar
teries in the throat which indicated
the trouble was in the heart.
•Sewst expert -veterinarian s w ere
called and a postmortem examina
tion made. Vital organs were
found to be one and one half times
as large as normal, including the
heart, spleen, liver and kidneys.
The examination showed that the
stock had been overfed on corn
silage and alfalfa, having been on
this ration several months. While
it is known that cattle have died
from silage high in grain, this was
the first time it has been fatal to
equine animals.

THE LAYMAN’S DUTY
There never was a time when
preachers and politicians forippd an
unliuly alliance that civilization did
not shriek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of gov
ernment, politicians have sought to
decoy the ministry into the meshes of
politics and make them carry banners
in political processions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top of power and offered to make then;
monarch of all they surveyed, and
while most of them have said, “Get
thee behind tne £5atan,“ q. few have
fa|lpn \yjth it crush that has shaken
every pulpit in Christendom.

POLITICIANS WHO CAPITALIZE
STRIFE A MENACE TO
GOVERNMENT.
Neglect of Agricultural and Industrial
Opportunities a National Crime.
By Peter Radford.
There never was a time in the his
tory of this nation when we needed
statesmen more or agitators less than
at the present moment. The oppor
tunities now afforded us on land and
sea demand the best there is In state
craft and the possibilities that are con
fronting us call for national issues
that unite the people, build Industry
and expand trade. The agricultural
and industrial development of this
nation has suffered severely at the
hands of agitators who have sent
torpedoes crashing into the port side
of business and whose neglect of the
interests of the farmer makes them
little less than political criminals. We
want no more of these evil spirits to
predominate in government. Too long
their hysterical cry has sent a shiver
down the spinal column of industry.
Too long have the political agitators
capitalized strife, pillaged progress
and murdered opportunity. An indus
trial corpse is not a desirable thing,
a crippled business an achievement or
neglect an accomplishment about
which any representative of the gov
ernment has a right to boast.
issues that Breed Agitators Should be
Eliminated.
The political agitator must be elim
inated from public life before thought
ful consideration can be given to a
constructive program in government.
The liquor question is the most pro
lific breeding ground for agitators and
whether pro or anti, the hatch is
equally as undesirable. This article
way of illustration with the frolitioal
products of that issue. Other sub
jects will be dealt with in the order
of their importance.
In the history of our government
the liquor issue has never produced
a constructive statesman worth men
tioning and it never will. It has sent
more freaks to Congress, Lilliputians
to the Senate and incompetents to
office than any other political issue
under the sun.
The recent experience of the Eng
lish Parliament which lashed itself
into a fury over the liquor question
has a lesson that, it is well for the
farmers of this nation to observe; for
the subject In some form or other is
constantly before the public for solu
tion and ofttimes to the exclusion of
more important problems to the Amer
ican plowmen.
Too Many Political Drunkards.
Lloyd-George, the Prohibition leader
of Europe who led the prohibition fight
in England, has declared that he will
never again take a drink politically
and there are many American politi
cians—pro and anti—w ho w ould render
their country a service by climbing
on the water wagon or signing a pledge
of political temperance. Too often
our legislative halls are turned into
political bar-rooms and many of the
members become intoxicated on liquor
discussions. We have too many polit
ical drunkards- pro and anti in our
public affairs. No one who is a slave
to the political liquor habit is quitb
so capable of dealing with the busi
ness affairs of government as the
sober and industrious. We have few
public men in this day who are strong
enough to resist the temptation of
strong drink politically and when the
demon Hum once becomes firmly en
trenched in the mind of a politician,
ho is le'ss capable of meeting the de
mands for constructive statesmanship
now confronting this nation.
We have in this country too many
red-nosed politician#—both pro and
anti. A candidate with politica\ deli
rium tremens, a preacher with politi
cal snakes ip bis boots and an agitator
Uitmk on the liquor question are the
saddest sights in civilization and they
should all be forced to take the polit
ical Keeley Cure.
It is far more important in govern
ment to make it easier for those who
toil to eat than to make it more dif
ficult for a few topers to drink. Thefe
