The Common Housefly
is now the justly deserving object of a national campaign
in the interest of the public Health. Flies carry filth
and disease germs wherever they go. We are sincerely
glad that we are able to co-operate effectively in the
fight against the housefly. Flies and Electric Fans do
not agree. Flies cannot alight in a breeze and it is a
simple thing to keep your kitchen, your living room and
the sleeping room of your child free from the contamin
ation of these insects- One electric fan in a small house
hold can usually be made to ' serve all three purposes,
besides freshening and cooling the air. The new 8-inch
household fan is both practical and inexpensive. Phone
NORTHWESTERN CORPORATION. The real com
mercial spirit is to supply the needs of the public as per

who are wasteful. To you, who are naturally careful,
it doesn't come high. Use Tungsten lamps and have an
abundance of light.

By the filing of a statement from A.
W. Lafferty, successful Republican
nominee for representative In con
gress from the Second district, with
the secretary of state yesterday, the
question arose as to whether Lafferty
expended more money for his cam
paign expenses than entitled to under
the corrupt practices act, says the Sa
lem Statesman. His statement shows an
expenditure of $1923.76 during the '
campaign, while under the act ha
would be entitled to spend but $1125,
as a candidate Is restricted to 15 per
cent of the salary or compensation
which Is Incident to one year in his
term of office.
The secretary of state's office is con
fident that Lafferty is well within the
law, however, as it is shown that John
H. Bagley and William McHardy each
donated $800 to Lafferty's expenses.
As the act prescribes that those who
have fiduciary relations with the can- 4
didate will be considered as the candi
date himself, and as neither Bagley
nor McHardy are known to have such
relations existing with Lafferty, it
seems probable that Lafferty Is safe.
unless, as some attorneys have con
strued it, the money was paid to Carl
Kelty and he expended It as Lafferty's
campaign manager, this being the -same
as Lafferty spending the money
himself. On the other hand It Is assert
ed that Lafferty might assume Kelty.
to be acting as the agent of Bagley and
McHardy as well as of Lafferty.
Other Candidate's Expenses,
Many other statements were filed
with the secretary of state yesterday,
including the following:
G. W. Orton defeated candidate
for Labor Commissioner, $88.76.
C. L. Hawley candidate for Joint
Senator, $3.60. ,
W. Lair Thompson candidate for
Joint Representative, 21 cents.
W. L. Bradsaw candidate for Cir
cuit Judge, $1.
Ralph Hoyt defeated candidate for
State Treasurer, $488.80.
C. P. Strain candidate for Rail

Circuit Judge, $85.50.
Frank W. Benson candidate for
Secretary of State, $299.65.
