Swat the Germ
Laden Fly
Keep your yard sanitary. Don't allow refuse to accumu-
late. In it is the lurking place of the invisible but deadly
typhoid, infantile paralysis, diphtheira, and similar dis-
ease germs. Oui very common yet troublesome house
liy is the carrier of these germs.
Be prepared to strike him a fatal blow at the start by
keeping all refuse under cover. This will not only pre-
vent the spread of disease germs but also improve the
appearance of your yard.
Stop in on your way home and get a good garbage can,
take it home and use it. It may result in the blotting
out of some deadly disease.
We have a large variety of garbage cans in several
sizes. Priced from $2.25 up.

The chariots used in the exciting
war scenes of D. W. Griffith's spec-
tacle, "Intolerance," which is com-
ing to the Liberty theater next Satur-
day, are exact reproductions of ve-
hicles of the type used in the period
represented in the Griffith story. Ac-
cording to authorities, the Persians
not only used chariots, but they also
participated in engagements mounted
on horses. A conspicuous feature in
the Persian armies on their way to
fight was a chariot dedicated to the
sun-god and drawn by pure white
horses.
Assyrians, who are shown as par-
ticipants in the realistic presentation
of warfare, did not use chariots" as
extensively as they were employed
by Persians. The Medes depended
largely in battle upon their archers,
who were mounted on horses. Greater
reliance was placed upon such things
as the armed towers, which may well
be regarded as precursors of the ar-
mored motor cars of today, especially
of what is known as the tank car of
so much importance to the English in
Iheir trench warfare.
The men in the present-day tank
car are practically immune from in-
jury by shrapnel, bomb or shell, but
in the case of the armored towers of
old, dangers were almost inescapable.
Indeed, coats of mail were of little
avail against the flaming torches, the
liquid fire, or the well directed darts
of a beleaguered army.
This is made apparent in one of the
most excting scenes of the Griffith
spectacle when an attacking force in
one of the movable towers fights des-
perately and is rapidly brought to
the verge of annihilation. Men fall
from tremendous heights to sure
death on the ground below, and oth-
ers mortally wounded sink back into a
structure flaming under the fire of a
relentless foe. But the most thrilling
scene of all is in the collapse of this
tower in the midst of fighting and
when the warriors who have not al-
ready succumbed to repelling activi-
ties fall victims to their own desperate
bravery.
The presentation of this part of
the spectacle was made possible only
through the engaging of men who
were willing "to take a chance.'

(By A« oci*ted Pro«i.)
Washington, April 17.-—Congress
will soon be faced with the necessity
of providing millions of dollars for
the 1920 census.
Just what inquiries will be made
at every American home is the prob-
lem now being worked out, before
determining upon the exact appro-
priation needed. Census Director
Rogers estimates that the total cost
of the census, including the annual
and other inquiries occurring during
the decennial census period, if done in
accordance with plans the census bu-
reau has formulated, will not exceed
$20,000,000 to $22,000,000. The es-
timated cost of of taking the popula-
tion census alone is $10,440,000.
Besides considering population, the
bureau's plans contemplate the usual
elaborated inquiries on manufac-
tures, agriculture, mines and quarries,
annual special inquiries and other
work. This includes vital statistics,
statistics of cities and states, tobacco*
cotton and cottonseed products.
Taken collectively, Director Rogers
says that the estimated cost of various
nes of work would run, manufac-
tures, mines and quarries, $2,593,-
000; agriculture, $6,049,000, mostly
for field work; population, $10,440,-
000. The expenditures for the cen-
suso f 1910 were about $15,500,000.
The census bureau is receiving
many suggestions for extension of the
usual field of nation-wide enumera-
tion. There has been a great demand
to know the stock of hides, leather,
and manufacture of saddles, shoes,
boots, belting and leather goods and
was deemed essential to get at
once the leather output, including
wool drawn from the hides of kids and
sheep that goes into the manufacture
of woolen goods. The Tanners coun-
cil, an organization of the tannery
owners, is getting that information
now and furnishing it to the govern-
ment at a cost of $30,000 to $50,000.
They collect statistics of raw material,
different kinds of leather, amount in
stock as well as the cured or finished
product, but the census bureau pro-
poses to ascertain more than that
The bureau wants to know the uses to
which the raw material and manufac-
tured product are to be put, the stock
on hand, consumption by the manu-
facturers and the prospect of having
a supply for the country's future
needs, all of which delves into the
field of shoes, boots, saddles, beltings,
harness and many finished products of
value. The census will gather this
information by mail and through
special agents.

(The following well written and
perfectly constructed essay is the
work of Madge Boyd, 11 years old, a
pupil in grade 6B, Fourth ward
school.)
One time in the dusty window of a
drug store lived two little Thrift
Stamps.
They were very unhappy because
they had heard of their Uncle Sam
declaring war on Germany, and they
wanted to do their bit to help him
win the war.
One day the storekeeper took them
out of the window and gave them to a
little boy, and he placed them in a
card.
They were put in an iron box with
a man named Mr. Liberty Bond.
Mr. Liberty Bond told them many
interesting things about the war
One day he told them that they
were each worth twenty-five cents,
which made them very proud, and
best of all he told them that they were
helping their Uncle Sam.
"At last," said they, "we have been
able to do our bit," and they never
luarrelod a bit when Mr. Liberty
Bond told them that he was worth
3ne hundred dollars, for thev were
. 3 happy that th>y couldn't.
