Only a Few More Left
E still have on hand nineteen Aransas Pass
contracts for sale, and as no transfers will
be made on the books after Oct. 1 st, those
who want contracts had better buy now.
<| To close out at once those we have on hand,
we will fill orders as long as they last for $ 1 20
each, not less than five to a trade. If you want
only one, the price will be $130 until they are all
gone. ^ After the first of October you will be
unable to buy contracts at any price.
Contracts have sold in the local market as high as $ 1 50, and very few
are offered for sale now, even at that price.
Orders as above will be received as long as they last, by mail, tele-
phone or telegraph. The contracts are all paid in full, and remittances
should be sent to the Union Trust Company, to be paid when contracts
are delivered and forwarded.

Rules for Dealing With the Fly
Nuisance.
Keep the flies away from the
sick, especially those ill with con-
tagious diseases. Kill every fly
that strays into the sick room. His
body is covered with diseaass
germs. Do not allow decaying ma-
terial of any sort to accumulate on
or near your premises. All refuse
which tends in any way to fermen-
tation, such as bedding straw, pap-
er waste, and vegetable matter
should be disposed of or covered
with lime or kerosene oil. Screen
all food, wheter in the house or
exposed for sale. Keep all recep-
tacles for garbage carefully cover-
ed and the cans cleaned or spink-
led withoil or lime. Keep all stab-
le manure in vault or pit, secured
or sprinkled with lime, oil or other
cheap preparations, scuh as are
sold by a number of reliable manu-
facturers. Burn or bury all table
refuse. Screen all windows and
doors, especially in the kitchen and
dining room. If you see flies, you
may be sure that their breeding
place is in nearby filth. It may be
behind the door, under the table
or in the cuspidor. If there is no
dirt and filth there will be no flies.
If there is a nuisance in the neigh-
borhood write at once to the Health
Department.
TO KILL FLIES:
The London “Tancet,” the lead-
ing medical journal of the world,
says that the best and simlpest fly-
killer is weak solution of formal-
dehyde in water (two teaspoonfuls
to the pint). Place in plates or
saucers throughout the house. Ten
cents worth of formaldehyde will
last an ordinary family all summer.
It has no offensive smell, is fatal
to disease organisms, and is practi-
cally non-poisonous except to in-
sect. Pyrethrum powder, which
may be bought at any drug stoer,
burned in the house will also kill
the flies.
Depends on the Advertisements.
Here is the way one Farmers’Uni-
on man spoke up in meeting. This
should show to every merchant
that his ad is read and appreciated
by his customers: “As as rule the
farmer has no firmer friend than
the country press. The home pa-
per is distinctly the farmer’s own
paper, supported directly and indi-
rectly by farmers, who compose
the backbone of subscription list of
the printer, and largely for what
the enterprising merchants adver
tise. Now, brothers, let us not for-
get our friends. Let us see that ou1
subscriptions are paid a year in
advance; we can do it. “The man
or the paper that fights my battles
i shall have my support. Another
! thing, the merchants advertising are
the ones who make it poseible for
us to get a good local paper.—The
local firm, who is too penuri-
ous to advertise and held support
the local press, has no right to the
farmer’s patronage. “I promise,
hereafater, to go to the live adver-
tiser and the man who does his
share in supporting the local press,
thus contributing to my suppom,
rather than buy of a man who pror
poses to take all and give nothing
back. If farmers as a class would
support their friends, the other fel-
low would soon go out of business.’
