Supreme Court of Maine Adds lt» who attended the entertainment' at Mr.
Voice to Denunciation of Almost
Universal Pest.
The dog having lind his day before
the Supreme court In Washington, \*e
now And the "busy, curious, thirsty
fly" preening Ids wings IfU.the solemn
precincts of the Supreme court of
Mnlne us n co-defendant. lie duds
few sympathisers. For his size he Is
the most malodorous mid detestable
of beasts, und the mischief lie does Is
Immeasurable. In this ease the court
of appeal wus told that a- summer
hoarder had engaged rooms at a hotel
for two weeks and had left at the end
of four duys, declaring the Hies Intol
erable. The Supreme court upholds
the plaluiiff iu his refusal to pay for
tils Infested accommodations.
The Journal of the American Med
ical association makes the ease the
text of one of the most excurlutlng
denunciations of the tly that have been
penned; hut will the fly cure?
Not a bit of It. "A tly," wrote Emer
son Id his despair, "Is us untamable as
a hyena." Probably u tly was teasing
the sage of Concord us he wrote. The
best thing Josh Hillings ever salt! was
"D— a tty 1” Shakespeare woufd

People of Holland Meet Problem of
Expanding Population in Charac
teristic Dutch Fashion.
After many years' deliberation t lie
people of Holland have decided time
they need more land, and, having
reached that doelslon, they have gone
about the acquisition of It with char
acteristic butch energy and determi
nation, says Popular Mechanics Maga
zine. The program contemplates tho
building ,of a SO-inlle dike across the
outlet of the Zuyder zee and gradual
reclamation of parrs of Hint body by
means of smaller dikes and a filltng-lu
and pumping process. The damming
of the north end of the Zuyder zee pre
sents difficulties, not only on account
of the length of the Until, hilt also due
to the fact that at. the Friesland shore
end the water depth varies from 11 lo
•!3 feet. The foundation of the great
dum will be, literally, billions yf all
sizes of tree branches, lushed together
into great bundles. These will be sunk,
forming a supporting mat of enormous
area. Upon this will he placed a thick
layer of coarse crushed stone, und on
tlii.-i powerful foundation will he rear
ed the masonry of the dike.
Plant Diseases Costly.
Millions of bushels of grain, fruit

to figures compiled by the plant dis
ease survey of.the Department of Ag
riculture, Tim .survey, said that, the
statistics Indicate* tliut lack of prtSiiipt
application of known measures of con
trol was largely the cause of the loss.
The plant disease survey estimated
the losses, at 112,000,000 bushels of
wheat, 50,000,000 bushels of oats, 80.-
000,000 bushels of corn, 50,000,000
bushels of potatoes, 40,000,000 bushels
of sweet potatoes, 185,000 tons of to.

The decline of tuberculosis is lik

“Polite" Motor Horn.
The magazine Motor announces the
arrival of the courtequs motor horn.
Up to now the motor horn has been
decidedly cacophonous. It squawks un
pleasantly; It bellows alarmingly; It
utters noises'dlsagreably suggestive of
nausea.
But the new lioim, which is appear
ing on the market, has a tone that Is at
once polite and powerful. It warns, yet
does not offend the sensitive ear. The
tone-adjusting mechanism Is so con
trlved and arranged that the horn Is
easily regulated for any degree of vo
clferousness, but It yet carries u warn
lag to the pedestrian.

YOU OUGHT
TO
A young Indy who taught, a clnss of
small boys in Sunday-school desired to
Impress on thorn the meaning uf return
ing thunks befovo u meal. Turning to
one of the clnss, whose father was a
deacon iu the church, she asked him;
“William, whilt. is the first thing your
father says when lie sits down to the
table i"
“lie says, 'Go slow with that butter,
kids; it’s 40 cents u pound.’”
See it at Work!
Have you seen our nailing machine in operation?
It’s a dandy, and does its work perfectly. •
You know, there is a certain class of shoe-making
which, when repaired, the soles have to be nailed.
The old-fashioned way of hammering on a last
has always been unsatisfactory, for the reason the
nails do not clinch properly, and consequently the
nails hurt your feet and tear your stockings.
This nailing machine we use is the same machine
used in all the shoe factories, and its work is perfect.
No nails to hurt your feet; no nails to tear your
stockings.
Come in. I want you to see how this nailing
machine does its work.
