KILL FLIES NOW—A PREVENTiVE MEASURE HOG CHOLERA—PROTECTION OF UNINFECTED TERRITORY MONTANA STATE DEBT, FUNDS AND INVESTMENTS, 1880 to 1913 t One fly killed now means a million less enemies to public health next summer. Flies not only breed dis- ease but they are careless as to where they leave it. They will go from their birthplaces, usually a man- ure pile. to y,,ur dining room and kitchen; they will feed upon dead animals and go to your bedroom; they will ply in 101 filthy places and then have the impudence to enter your house to rest ler the night. The num- ber of flies about a house or in a town is in direct relation to the cleanliness of the place. Since they breed in rubbish, manure and all other places of filth, the most important duty to prevent fly danger is to clean up. By doing this anti killing every fly found now, more than half the battle of fight- ing off typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other contagious diseases, whichflies carry will be won. And it will be won Without a great deal of trouble or hard work. Swat the deadly fly now. . GASOLINE SATURATED CLOTHES CATCH FIRE, LIFE SAVED BY DIRT, BIG TIMBER. Apr. 13.—Presence of mind and quick action saved Paul L. VanCleve, Jr., of Melville, from fatal injuries from burning gasoline Saturday night. He was returning home from Big Timber with a gaso- line traction engine. When within a mile of Melville his engine \spark- ed back,\ igniting his clothes which were saturated with the explosive. By good fortune they were driving across stubble lands, and Van Cleve burrowed in the soft earth, face down, his companion helping to pile dirt over him. A hurry call was sent for a doctor, who found him suffering se- vere pains in his chest, hands and abdomen. While serious, the injuries are not thought to be dangerous. A farmer living in uninfected terri- tory who wishes to increase his herd should do so if possible by raising his own stock or buying from the imme- diate neighborhood where he can be sure there has been no cholera. There can be no assurance of entire safety to the neighborhood if begs are ship- ped in ally stock car or puss thru any stock yards or have had any real serum -virus treatment. \Doctored\ virus is being sent out by some com- mercial firms. This is safe if suffi- eiently \doctored\ but it is of no use 40 far as conferring immunity is con- cened.—M, II. Reynolds, University el Minnesota. Our Best Seller.

C April 15.— Preliminary figures front tlie forth- coming bulletin pertaining to nation- al and state indebtedness and funds and investments have been given out by Director W. J. Harris, of the Bu- reau of the Census, Departtnent of Commerce. The bulletin carries in- formation for the state of Montana, as well as for the other states and the United States. The data were com- piled under the supervision of Mr. John Lee Coulter, expert special agent in charge of the inquiry on Wealth, Debt and Taxation. The bulletin, which will soon be issucd, will contain statistics for each state for each year from 1890 to 1913, Inclusive, as far as statistics are available. and will also contain de- tails for the year most nearly cor- responding to 1880 thus making it possible to show the general move- ment during a period of over 30 years. The bulletin will show the total debt of the states as well as many details, such as the various classes of out standing bonds and special debt obli- gations to public trust funds. It will also show the floating debt and its component parts. Under funds and investments will be show.n separately all the different funds, and In each case cash and securities will be shown. The population of the states for each year under consideration will be used, and the per capita debt (less sinking fund assets) will be given. An inspection of the tables for Mon- tana in the bulletin soon to be issued shows that tile state had no outstand- ing bonds until 1895, when S45,000 was recorded; the amount increased con- stantly until 1915, when the bonded indebtedness was $1,200,000. No special debt obligations to public trust funds were reported. The floating debt increased from $175,000 In 1890 to $548,000 in 1912. In the case of funds and invest- ments no securities were reported un- til 1892, $22,000 in that year advanc- ing to $4,029,000 in 1912. The cash also shows a marked increase during the period, advancing from $187,000 in 1890 to $1,402,000 in 1912. The sinking fund assets changed from year to year, increasing from $2,000 in 1895 to $235,000 in 1912. The debt (less sinking fund asets) was aproximately the same as the total debt during the first decennial period; a slight general increase in I the sinkiug fund assets during the re- mainder of a period reduced the total debt proportionately. The debt Hess sinking fund assets) fluctuated be- tween $175,000 in 1890 and $1.513.000 1 in 1912. The debt of tile state increased so I rvatly during the period of. 30 years that the increase of 367,000 in popu- lation was not sufficient to offset it, and the per capita debt followed the increase in the debt (less sinking fund assets) thruout the period. In 1880 the total debt of Montana it the close of the fiscal year, No- vember 30, was $70,000; in 1890 it was $175,000; in 1900 it had risen to $1,- 158,000; and in 1912 it amounted to $1,748,000, the changes occurring in both bands and floating debt. The population of the state increased from 39,000 in 1880 to 406,000 in 1912. In 1880 the per capita debt was $1.79; in 1892 it fell to $0.78, increasing to $3.73 in 1912, 'tho the maximum of $4.92 was reached in 1903. In contrast with the state of Mon- tana, we find that, taking the entire debt (less sinking fund assets) for the 98 states, the per capita debt, accord - iii the latest report, is $3.52, or $0.21 less than the per capita debt for Montana. Comparing the change oc- curring in the per capita debt of Mon- tana and the 48 states for the 30 - year period, we find that while the se capita debt of Monte et increased 108 per cent, that cf the 48 states de- creased 36 per cent; the $5.45 failing to $3.52 in the average for the 48 .Thltes, and $1.79 advanced to $3.73 in It, uitana .11 s e e present time about 5 t.4 per t f the totai population of the :''ii States still be found in the stale of Montana, and about the same per cent of the total debt (less sink- ing fund assets) is attributed to that state. FORD WINS IN SOUTH AFRICA Competitions Recently Held in Trans- vaal Club for Amateur Drivers Only. Two well known competitions were recently held under the auspices ,.f the Transvaal Automobile club—one being for the club's standard cup and the other for the Lezard shield—for amateur drivers only. In the competition for the cup, the course was from Johannesburg to Vereeninging and back, a distance of 78 miles, and a Model T Ford, owned by B. J. Penney, the Ford represent- ative in Johannesburg, was returned an easy winner by the wide margin of 44 points. The car did a non-stop run. The total weight carried, including that of the car itself, was 2,150 lbs., and the gasoline, or petrol, as it is called there, worked out at the rate of :IS miles to the English gallon. In the Lezard shield event, a Model T Ford was driven by a youth who, up to within a few days of the race, had never driven a motorcar and aitho the Ford was second by a small • margin of points, the fact that a mere novice could drive a non-stop run in such a competition as this, and make 38.36 miles a gallon speaks more for ,the car than the mere running of an i l l ordinary race. • A short time previous to this a Ford :, et,r--setting the same high standard— IS • tal drWen by Mr. Penney, own the • di known Schlesinger cup. so that • the recent Ford performances in the : .,...-ansvaal haveshown that for con - : wiry Ir . , can , t be beat.\ j \ 'IsTthe man ,rho says everybody is self is bound to make a :t f t r is \ ,: h uf , b lorn hlin et.mes.
