The unusually mild winter presages say the authorities, a season that will be favorable to the development of the house fly, which is such an actie agent in the spread of disease. Eter nal vigilance is the price of liberty from disease brought in this way. Now is the time to kill the fly. He multiplies with astonishing rapidity. It is said that to kill one now means fewer flies by millions later on. ' But unless every family was watch ful to slay the fly the main safeguard against the fly at present is not to de pend on all being killed but jealoully to guard against containation of food by the fly. Housewives who want to protect their children from disease and save the expense of sickness and the grief and expense entailed by death cannot adopt a better plan of defense than to keep everlastingly watchful of the fly. Take any sort of pains necessary to keep him off the food. The results will be worth many times the trouble. more than a few weeks at a time. Both the Riddles seemed amused a bout the automobile and Views and In terviews wanted to know the joke. This is the story as told by Mr. R. B. Riddle: "Tom had been saving up his money until he had about a thousand dollars when he took a notion thct he wanted an automobile. I advised him against the purchase, telling him that he had better keep his money in the bank; but nothing else would do him, so of course I did not insist any further. He bought his car and had a good time with it until his money ran out and then he had to run the car in. "Along about the latter part of De cember, I called Tom's attention to the fact that he would have to get a new license tag for 1921. He had no money and I knew it. He replied. "They can't bother me if I let my car stay in the house, can they?" "I told him they couldn't and then I went on to tease him a little with the question as to whether he was sorry now that he had not left his money in the bank and done without an auto mobile. "Rather have my automobile than all the money there is," he declared. He don't talk much but that is just what he meant. "Not long ago I observed that Tom was almost barefooted, and suggested that he should have some shoes. " 'Got no money," he replied, 'and will do without shoes,' but when I told him what this spring weather might do to him in the way of pneumonia on account of his bare feet, he was glad enough to accept my offer to get him a pair of shoes which I did." WAR RISK INSURANCE TO STOP LAST OF NEXT JULY Washington, March 25. Military allotments or allowances under the war risk insurance act wil expire automatically on July 31, Controller Warwick of the treasury holds in a ruling made public today. The ruling was based on the reso lution adopted by the last congress repealing most of the wartime acts. War risk insurance bureau officials were unable today to give accurate figures concerning the number of sailor, soldier and marine allotments that would be affected , but it was said that the men in the serice at home and abroad are still sending allotments which are duplicated bv the government, to their relatives at home. Mr. Warwick holds that the resolu tion repealed the war risk insurance act within four calandar months af ter its adoption by congress and that consequently the allotments made to the military forces must cease on that date.

Riddle's Farm in Bethel Township Has $1,000 Automobile Standing Up In The Shed No Money To Buy Gas. (Views and Interviews in Yorkville Enquirer.) Made a trip to Ridleville, with Al bert Riddle Tuesday afternoon. Mr Riddle was going up there to help his brothers R. S. and T Howard get started their Fordsons which had been standing up unused since last fall, and Views and Interviews went along for the pleasure of the trip. Stopped at R. B. Riddle's a few minutes to say "howdy,'' and incidentally ran upon some facts that furnished a typical onnrmation of the truth of the edi toria' comment in The Yorkville En ouirer of Tuesday concerning the re lations 'between farmer-owner and farmer-renter and laborer. Over in a field near by, a young ne gro man was breaking up corn land with a two horse plow. Observing the work and the workman, Mr. Albert Riddle inquired of his father: "What's Tom doing with his auto mobile now? "Nothing," replied the father. "It is just standing in the garage. He did not have the money to get a license tag, and he has no gas."
