Pub- lic grounds suffer the greatest lin- jury in this regard )hut 't'liere are many instances where in both pri- vate and 'public property the corners of :,lawns have been practi- cally destroyed by these unthought fut. individuals. The younger generlaL oVa are not to blame for this grievance entirely for there are many of the older people who trespass on other people's property in some cases more frequently than the youngsters.

The popular Slogan in many e'ties towns auk) villages at than, time is "Swat :the 'Fly", But at this season of the year 'we would emphasize the urgency of swatting not only the fly but all other !harmful insects. includiaag the destructive tent caterpillars, A summer teveral years ago these insects proved to be a veritable plague and from the abundanlce of nests fromwhich these insects emerge iltatr•e,eslthis spring tit is , apparent that if steps are not taken, at once to prevent 1 it,ithils locality will by the 1.st day of mune be suffering :from such an- other scourge. Anoun'ce of pre- vention is equal to' a pound of cure and now is the ,time to work, the preventi 'n to advantage.' We would call upon all citizens, and especially the owners of orchards and numerous shade trees to des troy every nest in sight during the next two weeks and not wai$ un- til the fmsects are crawligg about in thousands The best method of destroying the (nests 'cs to :burn them, an old broom saturaetd with with coat oM being very effective when the Crests cannot be cut off and placed in a bon -fir, but make sure the heart of the 'nest is des- troyed. .

But when the monster is small and playful and common we let him rav- age. He doesn't somehow appeal to our imagination. Yet he does more harm, being 10,- 000,000,000 or so, than any ten mind-` taurs, polyphemuses or dragons that ever posed in the pages of tradition. He is the common housefly. Although much has been said about him and his deadliness, the people are not yet alive to the enormity of his crimes. There are thousands of kitch- ens where flies still swarm and infect the food, thousands of babies over whose faces and upon whose lips flies spread their poison, thousands of res- taurants and lunch counters where flies are busy at the work of thinning out the human race. 4 SUMMER [OOIWEAR ave Men's Shoes Our new styles in Men's Shoes for this season make 'it easy for them to gratify their individual tastes.
