Show Will Wage War On Deadly Fly . With the good results obtained last season in the crusade against the deadly fly and with spring and warm weather fast approaching, in-other in-other movement has been started for the. eradication of the pests in Gunnison. Gun-nison. While if has not been officially offi-cially announced, the rumor is current cur-rent that the city administration will be liberal-in offering prizes and bounties boun-ties for the flies destroyed anil accounted ac-counted for. Not alone will the city be active in "swatting" the lly, but ;he civic organizations and every citizen citi-zen will join in the crusade and help make Gunnison more healthful by killing flics. With the introduction of the lly j trails last season, aided materially by the -co-operat ion of the citizens in properly caring for disease breeding outhouses, manure piles and all fill 1 1 and rubbish, where the iocs multiply by the millions, Gunnison passed through a season when there were less flics known in the history of the city. The same conditions, and even bel-i bel-i tor, can exist, if all will start at once j in lighting the flies. If you are not I provided wjlh one of the traps, gel ' oho at. once and kill as many of the ! early flies as you can. In doing this you prevent billions from hatching later on in the season.

The devils work fast and multiply fast, but if the citizens of Gunnison will exert one-tenth of the eneivTy as the fly. the battle is won for the cil izen. The housefly breeds readily in almost al-most any decaying vege'able matter, but not in animal flesh as is so often asserted. Horse manure is the favorite fa-vorite material selericd by the bou-e-fly for egg deposition and supports i the growth or pcibap". !l." per cent of all housefly larvae. Lacking horse manure, the fly usually selects the excreta of human beings, pigs or poul'ry The dishwater and refuse tin iw! out the backdoors of many homes r.cmet im"s afford ;i convenient br'f.'.l'i'g place for flies..
