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

Forty tax payers lined up before the
collector's office in the courthouse this
morning waiting to hand river their

taxes in the county will be charged
in the morning, the time lirt.it being
up tonight for the hunilred cents on the

The tax collectors had not been
rushed very lately, but now that the

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

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,
