If not, be on guard and massacre the first one that showshimself . Scientists tell us that every fly we kill now means that there will be FIFTEEN YEARS AGO Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, was as engineer in an electric plant in Detroit. Charles Murphy, the baseball millioniare, was a reporter on the Cincinnati Enquir er. Thomas H. Ince, the motion picture magnate, was a comic-opera comedian, glad to get $50.00 a week. Charlie Weegman, owner of the Chicago Federal baseball team and a string of restaurants, was a waiter in a quick lunch room. And so it goes. The list could be strung out to a column's length. Therefore, when you hear a boy or a young man com plain that he has no chance, take him by the arm and tell him a few things. There never was a time in the world's history when there were more oppor tunities for a young man to push to the front. There never was a time when a little intelligence and deter mination would provide a man with a competence in a few years. This is particularly true in the farming business for farming is a business. The young man of today who will take hold of a farm with the idea of millions less to kill later in the ; making it the best farm in the season. And others, who are paid by commissions to pay attention to the war waged upon this pest last year are firm in their belief that the nation is on the right track to ex terminate the littlejnuisance. Last year was really the first when any determined effort was made, speak ing broadly. Housewives all over county and who will work intelligent ly for ten years, with that idea always before him, will not have to work for the remainder of his life. A little whitejspitz dog, mad on the streets of Portland, bit eleven people Friday and Saturday before it was finally2killed. Besides the the United States took arms against persons bitten, at least a dozen other it as a common foe, and the result . dogs were known to have been in was that many communities'report-! fected by the rabid little animal ed even a distinctly visible decrease j during that time.

WALT WRITES WISDOM. Walt Mason, the Emporia, Kansas, poet, put in rhyme the following words of wisdom : Kersmith & Kickshaw deal in wax and Chinese eggs and carpet tacks. They are good sports in every way; they cough up money every day to make the town a better place in which to live and push your face. They hire a dozen clerks or more, who wait on patrons in their store. Our crossroads burg they would up build, and see it with glad people filled, and to that end they blow their scads like truly patriotic lads. But when we need of eggs a few, we send away to Timbuctoo; and when a carpet tack we wish, it's ship ped from Ypsilanti, Mich. Each has the notion in his dome that things are best away from home, and so we order hods and hats, and humming birds and maltese cats, from strang ers in some town remote, who would not know us from a goat. We ship away our hard earned kale, and get our fourth rate junk by mail. Say, are we seers, or are we fools? Those strangers don't support our schools, or keep our peeler on his beat, or help to pave the Court House street. They do not paint the village pump or build a fence around the dump. If our old burg were blown away they wouldn't care a bale of hay. Kersmth & Kickshaw ought to get the local trade, already yet.
