MRS BEN BASS ENTERTAINS
On account of the removal of
Sister West to her new home,
the ladies of the Methodist
Church sought to show their ap-
preciation and love of her. by giv-
ing her a shower at the home of
Mrs. Ben Bass, Tuesday after-
noon from 4:30 to 6:00. The
house was beautifully decorated
with sunflowers. As the ladies en-
tered they were served to punch
by Mesdames Pope and Young-
blood. After the party had ar-
rived Sister McCarley brought
Sister West in. All were seated
and talking when all unawares to
Sister West, little Marshal Pope
came in with a tiny wheelbarrow
all loaded with beautiful gifts
from numerous friends. The
v.heclbarrow was decorated in
purple and gold—the home mis-
sion colors. Mrs. McCarley, our
president, followed the gifts and
standing by Sister West's side
made the presentation speech and
also told her of how we woujd
rather give our flowers to the
living than wait until they were
dead and gone.
Sister West responded in her
own dear style, which the ladies
all enjoyed very much. The gifts
were taken out of the wheelbar-
row by Sister West and passed
around and enjoyed by all. Af-
ter a social hour and music fur-
nished by Mrs. Ethel Dulaney,
a delicious refreshment of fruit
salad was served to the following
ladies:
Mesdames C. D. West, J. B.
McCarley, Haymes, D. I). Bell,
Grandma Thompson, Val Eblen,
J. A. Lester, Markum Parker, J.

J. O. Doolen, Ben Bass, Ida Sue

shower and could not be present
were Mesdames J. F. Davis, J. G.

from tho time the egg is laid until the
mature insect is born. A maggot is
hatched from the egg. The maggot be-
comes a pupa (a state corresponding
to the tadpole state in frog life), and
the pupa becomes the mature fly that
helps to make life miserable for us in
warm weather.
Flies Live In Filth.
Where does the fly live? Where
there is filth, and there is nothing too
filthy for the fly to eat. He eats clean
food also, but his special delight seems
to be wallowing In filth, then buzzing
Into the house and wiping his feet and
wings on substances you are about to
eat. Watch him and see for yourself.
Think of the most sickening, dis-
gusting places where you have seen
flies. Think of them until your palate
is light and the pit of your stomach
ticklish. For If you think hard
enough about this dangerous, nasty
insect pest you will help fight hli
whole tribe with all your might.
The fly’s favorite place of residence
Is In the manure pile, the privy-vault,
the garbage can and the spittoon. But
he is a restless
Insect and un-
less he can

Dr less freely

So when the fly

What does he do in these places ol
exploration? He wipes his feet on the
food, bathes in the milk, or drowns In
It, and annoys the sleepers. If there
is a sick person around, a consump

cup and takes on a load of deadly
germs. This he distributes on the
food, on the baby's Ups or on your own

A busy death's head Is the house fly.
He killed more American soldiers in
the Spanlsh-Amertcan war than the
bullets of the Spaniards, and was the
direct cause of much of the typhoid
fever in the United States last year.
He cannot be Ignored safely.
The only way this town can effec-
tually exterminate flies Is to make an
organized effort. Our municipal au-
thorities and health officers should
map out a campaign immediately ahd
enlist the active aid of everybody In
the community.

It I* to Be Found in the Practice of
Saving Some Part of One’a
Earnings.
There is an injurious idea prevalent
among young Americans that pru-
dence. economy, caution and frugality
are among the mean qualities, and this
accounts largely for the meretricious
pride of spending time and money,
just as it partly explains the popular-
lty of so many amiable wastrels. A
"good fellow" may be not a self con-
demned fool, but he cannot discredit
the truism that a fool and nis money
are soon parted, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
Many of what we have come to call
"wants" are desires of the imagina-
tion, or of vanity or of self indulgence.
We k*ve drifted Into a confusion of
the yeaning and value of happiness as
contrasted with pleasure, and are
prone to accept ostentation in lieu of
the fact and substance of thrift The
ways of thrift are different from the
ways of parsimony.
There is an admirable quality of dig-
nity and simplicity about the frugal
but adequate way of living, that em-
phasizes the vulgarity of extravagance
and the childish folly of pretended
opulence. There Is a savor of gentility
about the practice of saving part of
one's earnings that leads to Its own
quiet romance, and life itself takes on
a calmer, cleaner, sweeter value if we
conserve and cherish at least a por-
tion of Its dally offerings.
Sensibly regarded, there is nothing
sordid about the habit of frugality;
but there is a squalor and a slovenlt-
