A little cleaning at this season will do much to prevent a plentiful supply of flies a little later. Eradicating possible breeding places for flies now will be much easier than to kill the crop when it appears a few weeks hence. To that end all rubbish piles or other attractive spots for fly culture should be destroyed or removed arthis time, A swat at the fly now means a whole lot toward bis control at the height of his season. Stopping the fly .before be gets started is a good method to pursue in handling him. A sharp offensive against him is the best defense against him. Destroy his potential breeding places now and insure against his flourish a little later. Look about your premises and see what you can do to stop him before he gets the jump on you.

ABOUT PICKING UP PEDESTRAINS Used to think that a man was selfish that would pass a fellow on the road with an empty car and let him keep on walking, but have decided here of late that he is a wise man rather than a selfish man. When the crooks have all the guns and the honest folks have none, then he will be still wiser. It seems that our folks want to make the highway safe for the bandit and extremely dangerous for the citizen. !Ay crook can stop your:car on the pretense of being a prohibition officer and you can't have any gun and the danger is great. It is time to put a muzzle of the heaviest kin on the fanatics. AN ANNUAL EDITORIAL pip .to missionaries, and the Latter-day tealnt faith.

All of which leads one to assume that all the world is beautiful but it isn't. It is as cold as blazes1 up north and as hot as blazes down in Florida. And this beautiful little piece is written for the purpose of reminding re-minding our readers that spring is here, and that this is truly the garden spot of the broad, wide land. A city beautiful can easily be made if each of us were ta plant a tree or shrub and then hire a big policeman to guard eiach tree and shrub to keep school children from destroying them. Punishing La Follete on the ground that he ran for President might be regarded as a species of flattery.

Myers of this city, who is in Great Britain laboring aa a missionary mis-sionary from the Latter-day Saint church, recently sent to his parents a copy of "The Bath Herald" a newspaper news-paper published Id Bath, England, containing an article concerning himself. him-self. Mr. Myers was out trading one morning when he met np with and conversed for some tlmd with a young man. During the course of their conversation, con-versation, after Mr. Myers had offered offer-ed the Latter-day Saint literature to him, the" stranger asked a number of questions personal and- general -cob cerning Utah, Mr. Myers, the family of which he it a member, etc., and great was the surprise of Mr. Myers upon opening the paper the next morning to find he had been talking' to a- newspaper representative and a full account of the conversation recorded. re-corded. Across the paper as a headline were the words "A Mormon Elder's Experience In Bath" and as a head over the article appeared "The- Mormons Mor-mons In Bath" with sub-heads reading read-ing "A Remarkable Interview", A Hostile City" and "Elder Speaks of Chilly Reception". The article reads as follows: A "Herald" representative walking in the city this morning, was accosted by a genial young man, with a beaming-smile and an American accent, who offered him literature dealing with the letter Day Saints, or what are more commonly understood as Mormons. He was" one" "of the Mormon Mor-mon leaders who have been working In the1 city for gome time. In conversation, the missionary stated that his name was Elder Kenneth J. Myers, of American Fork. Utah, U. 8. A. Previous to becoming a member of the Mormon Church in Utah, htf was following agriculture, to which industry .he . .may . return, when . he again, reaches America; He said all his family, Including his mother father, brothers and sisters, were members of his church. He had paid his expenses here. He had been, In company with another missionary working In Bath for about 10 days. "We are very anxious to seture a hall so that we may enlighten the people of Bath as to the trne gospel," he said. "We have the real thing and are very anxious to impart it to others." ( Asked as to their methods, ' Mr. Myers said they had stood outside various works and given away tracts but only to men j Asked his opinion ag to Bath's at titude, the missionary said it was very r unfriendly more so than any other cfty or town he had visited. The place he had visited Included ; Uyerjobl, Norwich, Gloucester," Bris tol 'etc. j Our representative inquired if the missionary could not give him a reason rea-son for this hostile attitude1. He could not" The queatiner suggested that the people of Bath might fear that the missionaries were here for purpose of polygamy. He immediately replied re-plied "No, because the law does not permit it." "But supposing the law did not prevent pre-vent it" sugested the "Herald man. To this the elder made an evasive reply, re-ply, which included the amaslng statement that England seemingly practised polygamy more than Utah had dona. Giving reasons why polygamy was practised In the first place by Mormons, Mor-mons, the Elder said It was due to the fact that the country first inhabited inhabi-ted by them contained more females than males. As a consequence they had a direct revelation' from God that In order to provide' a male population, popu-lation, each man must have more than on wife. I Elder Myerg added that he was at present living In Wldcombe. He had a relative in Bath, and his greatgrandfather great-grandfather was a Bathonlani He Joined the Church here, and then emigrated emi-grated to America.
