DAILY CAP! TUESDAY, MAECH 31, 1914. PAGE nVB. Golf Shirts 75 now go at 25 cent Brighton now go at Broken lines of Men's Shoes 25 per cent Less See our special Men's Suits at The Markets An ndvance of 10 cents a barrel on all grades of export flour is announced to take effect today. This increase is not due to increased demand but to the higher cost of wheat. Advices from orient show that tho markets are well supplied and ther is rather a pessimis tic outlook. Eastern wheat markets broke badly on acount of the very flat tering reports of the coming crop, which promises under normal condi tions to be a record-breaker. The de mand for new crop hop contracts is stronger than at euy time this season. A dozen buyers are trying to operate through the hop sections making con tracts on a 15-cent basis, but are not meeting with phenomenal success. Kggs stay at 111 cents, the cold storage interests holding the prices teady, al though the market is well supplied and the hen fruit is plntiful at the price. Sixty cars of livestock were received at the Portland stock yards Monday, l'rime steers brought $8, nnd hogs $8.75. Poultry arrivals were light, hens selling at lit cents nnd broilers at 30, A carload of California peas sold nt 8 cents, and this though the market is well supplied wih vegetables gen erally.

Interesting Letters in Which Dangers of Not Swatting Dangerous In sects is Pointed Out, PLEASANT PASTIMES OF DISEASE CARRIERS TOLD How They Are Thwarted by Careful People Who Do Not Wish to Let Members of Family Suffer, The Salem school children were asked recently to submit compositions as to why the fly should be fought and there was a liberal response. Tho following letters were selected from the list re ceived: WHY WE SHOULD FIGHT THE HOTJSE FLY. Ralph Barnes, 8th A, East Does tho little house fly look harm ful? We answer: "No." Then we must riot blame the people, of yesterday, who did not have the knowledge- of disease germs that we have,' for not making a raid on it. But there is no excuse for ub, with our modern apparatus and knowlodge, to let the fly go on with its ravages unharmed. It ib possible that a clearer knowledge of how tho fly carries gorms, would help to induce people to make an earnest effort (o desroy it. Most every one hag seen the fly hovering about places of dirt and filth or around people who have contagions diseases, but, has overyono stopped to think that this same fly will, probably, in the next fow minutes, be in the house of a Btrong, healthy family, spreading tho deadly gorms of tuber culosis, typhoid fever, small pox, scar let fever and diptheria, which hnve clung to its foot and tongue, over the f,ood, which will lator bo oaton with out a thought of harm. Think of all tho harm the fly doos, the sicknoss and the deaths that it causes. If is does so much dnmago, s it not our right and duty to do our ut most to destroy itl AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FLY. .. By J. Robertson Brooks, 8 B, East.. .. I was born in the beautiful city of Salem, August 30, 1913. The placo of my birth was an obseuro manure pile in the alley back of one of the principal homes of tho city. Tho over anxious gardner sprinkl id kcroseno over tho iniumro pile, and out of ono hundred and twonty eggs mv mother so carefully deposited, I was the only one to survive I grew and developed ns othnr flies do, nnd fortunately lound plenty of refuse on or nenr tho premisos, such as open vaults, sewers, decaying vegetables and fruits, scraps from tho kitchen tak en out for cats and dogs, manuru froii bains, garbago cans, and was often attracted to houses by the odors of cooking or sickness. Miiny doors and windows am protect ed with screens but by being watchful one can always gain entrance into some house. On hot days it is exceodinglv pleasant to creep into a cool dark room where someone is tossing with a high fever, for usually there aro daintiet, or a glass of water on tho stand near the bed where oao can get a cool drill';, and, unless tho nurse is very watchful, it is' very easy to creep over tho face and lips of the patient. Our enemies am very watchful, and if we are driven from tho sick room wo may find tho children at lunch, and out of revenge wo cun walk through the juice of Dickey's berry pie, tnko a up of .lunette's milk, und creep over t'10 nipple of baby's bottle. By this time our appetites will b satisfied and ijii feet will need cleaning fur much has accumulated from this little trip from the manure pile to tho baby's bottli. I hope that 19I 4 will bo a prosperous year for tun ami the great family f hope to bring forth and that, we will not be lured by the tantalizing odors of rooking or Hicldiess into some honei where wails u swatter who would vic iously swat us, but us in n bottle mi l carry us down and put. us under llf scrutinizing eagle eye of the mining, v of the commercial club, Mr. Fred Hyn on, who pays so much per hundred I' ir our poor mutilated bodies, Yours for life, IIOL'HK FLY. AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FLY, 3y Perry Nathan Tlekott, 8 B, High land School. All at once I burst out of a lit tit ball which my mother told me was my egg that I had stayed in for 24 lioirs. I was in the form of a lltlo whito worm about, a ojunrtcr of an inch long. Vy, but I was hungry, so I went to eating the manure in which T wis 'ililehed. I kept growing nnd growing (ill I got so sleepy Hint I curled myself up in a little ball and spun a web about myelf. I do not know what happened when I was aleep but 1 know I awoke in a little tight prison which I begun to knaw and soon was able to crawl out. T then had wings to I flew away to garbage can where there were somo scraps I liked better than manure. I flew to a baby's nipplo where I got some milk. The baby had something on its face and hands which I liked real well. Then I flew to a big br.'ck house where 1 saw some food on a table. Thero was some milk in a pitcher and I flew ii and could not get out but a little girl came with and spoon and took me out. I soon was dry and could fly again. I flew around all summer long getting caught first in one place and then in another. One day I got in a fly trap and was loft there for a long time. Finally a little boy took off the lid and another fly and 1 flew out. When winter came all the other flies died of cold but I flew in a house back of a stove and found it as warm as sum mer. There was a little crack in the wall paper where I crawled in and so stayed there all winter. In the spring I flew to a school home but could find nothing to eat. The door was shut and I could not get out so alighted on the eciling and waited for something to happen. One day not long ago I heard the teacher say: "The commercial club will give 25o a hun dred for flies," All the children looked at me and said: "I wish I had you." I got out of that door in a hurry and I think I will seek other quarters for the summer. I hope for many more days of freedom but suppose I will be foolish enough to be caught sometime by some cruel child. DANGERS FLY ESCAPES. By Grace Emerick, 8th Grade, Highland School. Thero are always two sides to evory question, even the fly question, so lot us consider tho poor tly. For instance, let us tuko a fly thnt has boon driven out of a sick room bocauBO ho insists on lighting on the patient's face, Ho flics over to the neighbor's house. Ho stays on the back poruh until the little girl cornet) out and loaves the Boreou opened just long enough for him to get in. When he does got in, thore is danger cverywhoro. If ho goes Into tho puntrv, ho may f nil into tho milk or somo other terrible thing. Thon if ho goes in the kitchon, ho is chased by an angry red faced woman with towols. Thon, sup posing ho goes to the library, ho 1b suro to alight ou a big shiny oval and begiiiB to wash his face, or maybo his hands, thinking that at last ho is safe, Then a great big hand hits at him, and it either gets him or gives him a big scaro ilo is also chased by monstrous big things inndo of wire, enllod swatters. if ho goes to the window, a big furrv paw slaps nt him. If ho goes into tho yard, ho is likely to bo chased by birds, or if ho goes to tho chicken yard he is chased by chickens. If ho goes to a restaurant,, he will probnbly fall In the hot soup, Evorywhero that ho goes thero tire dishes of Bweot things and if he cats them it is nil over with him, and there is paper with nasty sticky stuff all over it thnt if ho should light on ho would never get off. Thero nro traps that if he once gets in ho will never get ou I, So just think of what tho poor, fly has to go through, the danger it escapes, maybe and consider the fly, CONNERY MAY GET CUBS, Chicago, March 31.
