Reach the World
by the Bell System
. •
IN these days of enlightenment, each progressive com
munity welcomes every means of communication with
its neighbors.
, The moat, the draw-bridge and the outer-wall have been
swept away and replaced by highways and railroads extend
ing in every direction.
The Bell Telephone system is the greatest neighbor-
I maker. It not only promotes social and business inter
course in each community, but extends that activity far be
yond its borders.
City boundaries and state lines are no barriers to inter
communication in the Bell system, which includes more
than 7,500,000 telephones, each one a Long Distance station,
and over 12,000,000 miles of telephone highways reaching
over 70,000 communities.

BANKS OF SOUTHEAST
CLEARINGS
Columbus, Ga., May 27. —The Indus
trial Index says in its issue for this
week:
“The great and growing prosperity
of the Southeast and the unapproacV
ed desirability of this section as a
place of residence and in which to in
vest and engage in business is demon
strated forcibly by developments of the
past few days.
“Florida cities and towns have voted
and sold nearly $2,000,000 of bonds for
municipal improvements. The banks
of AtTahl!3s.Ga., have shown the great
est increase in their clearings for any
week in their history. The banks of
Birmingham, Ala., have gained more
than $15,000,000 in their clearings in a
year. These are hut some ot the things
that show prosperity in the Southeast
The president of the association of Ala
bama bankers declares that this sec
tion i§ on the “very morn of a pros
perity never dreamed of before,” anl
states facts upon which this opinion is
based.
FIRE FIRST GUN IN NEW
YORK’S FLY CAMPAIGN
THE Merchants’ Association of New York has just fired its
first gun in the spring campaign against flies. It is in the
form of a circular as follows:
WARNING!
KILL FLIES NOW!
Suggestions For Anticipating the Dangers
of the Common House Fly by Destroy
ing the Survivors of Last Year’s Crop
a e t E c °”n t nul l Tv it . ed $550,000,000
THE PRESENT IS THE TIME TO KILL FLIES—BEFORE THE
WEATHER BECOMES WARM AND THE ‘•HOLD-OVERS” BEGIN
TO PROPAGATE.
One Fly Now Means Innumerable Billions Later On.
THE EXTERMINATION OF THE WINTER FLY IS THE DUTY OF
THE HOUSEWIFE AND OF EVERY ONE. DON’T LET ONE ES
CAPE. CATCH AND KILL THEM ALL BEFORE SPRING, FOR THE
WINTER FLY IS THE PARENT OF SUMMER’S DESTRUCTIVE
SWARMS.
THE TIME TO DESTROY THE FLY IS BEFORE IT HAS HAD A
CHANCE TO LAY ITS EGGS. NOW ISTHE TIME. ÜBll , 4U
CAPTURE EVERY ONE OF JHE FILTHY LITTLE PESTS YOU CAN
FIND.
A SINGLE FLY IS CAPABLE OF DEPOSITING ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY EGGS AT ONE TIME AND OF PRODUCING FIVE OR SIX
BATCHES DURING ITS SHORT LIFE.
THE PROGENY OF A SINGLE PAIR OF FLIES. ASSUMING THAT
THEY ALL LIVE, IF PRESSED TOGETHER AT THE END OF THE
SUMMER. WOULD OCCUPY A SPACE Os OVER FOURTEEN MIL
LION CUBIC FEET.
THESE FIGURES SHOW THE INCALCULABLE POSSIBILITIES OF
A SINGLE FLY AND HOW VITAL IT IS TO DESTROY THE WIN
TER FLIES.
nON’T THINK BECAUSE THE FLIES DO NOT ANNOY YOU NOW
THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE ‘’SWATTED.” NOW IS WHEN
“SWATTING” IS MOST EFFECTIVE.

HORNED SNAKE KILLED
BY EMANUEL MAN
Atlanta, May 27. —Again the myster
ious horned snake is “in our midst.”
This time the specimen, five feet long
and “striped like a rattler,” was killed
by C. G. Gunnin in Emanuel county.
The bigh-brows at the museum in the
capitol will be called upon to elucidate
if possible just what page of natural
history the creature belongs to.
Instead of a horn in the ordinary
conception of the term, the snake has
a short, hard point on its tail, grooved
similar to the fangs of a rattler, and
which the people in the vicinity where
it was killed say is its weapon of of
fense. They say it strikes with its ta:l
and is deadly poisonous.
This is the second horn snake,
answering the same description, that
has been killed in Georgia within the
past year.
