according to Halsey, but Immediately
started to beat him up with the butt
of a .44 revolver. He has a deep cut
on the top of his head and several on
the face. He also claims to have two
wounds on his arm. The case will

POTASH PLANT TO
BUILD AT SCOTTHBLUFF
Scottsbluff Star-Herald: Accord
ing to reports, this city is to have a
potash plant in running order by the
early part of next year. During the
past woek 1400,000 was set aside for
this purpose by the Great Western
Sugar company, and the contracts for
the necessary machinery and build
ings will be let within a short time.
We are unable to find out the par
ticulars but have been able to learn
that contractors have already been
here and have been given certain de
tails as to excavation work needed.
It is claimed that this work will be
finished so that when the sugar cam
paign closes the potash factory will
begin work, and will employ a large
force of men the year around.
While we tried to confirm the re
port by phoning to the factory, we
were unable to get any satisfaction,
as Mr. Simmons 1b not here and no
one else seemB to know anything of
the matter; in fact, would not talk
about It, and seemed to infer that the
experiments were being made else
where and. that nothing would be
done at this place.
From the fact that these potash
plants are to be put in only where
the Steffinhouse process is used, we
believe that there is considerable
merit to the rumor and as the Scotts
bluff factory is the only one in the
valley equipped with that process, it
is reasonable to figure that it is to

KILL FLIES AND SAVE LIVES !
RECIPES FOR KIM I c. FLIES
The United States Government
makes the following suggestion for
the destruction of house flies: For
maldehyde and sodium salicylate are
the two best fly poisons. Both are
superior to arsenic. They have their
advantages for household use. They
,aro not a poison to children; they are
convenient to handle, their dilutions
are simple and they attract the flies.
PREPARATION OF solutions
A formaldehyde solution of aprox
Imately the correct strength may be
made by adding 3 teaspoonfuls of the
concentrated formaldehyde solution,
commercially known as formalin, to
a pint of water. Similarly, the
proper concentration of sodium
salicylate may bo obtained by dis
solving 3 teaspoonfuls of the pure
chemical (a powder) to a pint of
water.
An ordinary, thln-walled drinking
glass is filled or partially filled with
the solution. A saucer or small plate,
in which is placed a piece of WHITE
blotting paper cut the siie of the dish,
is put bottom up over the glass. The
whole is then quickly inverted, a
match placed under the edge of the
glass, and the container is ready for
use. As the solution dries out of the
saucer the liquid seal at the edge of
the glass is broken and more liquid
flows into the lower receptacle. Thus
the paper Ib always kept moist.
OTHER SIMPLE PREVENTIVES
Any odor pleasing to man is offen
sive to the fly and vice versa, and will
drive them away.
Take five cents worth of oil of lav
ender, mix it with the same quantity
of water, put it in a common glass
atomizer and spray It around the
rooms where flies are. In the dJnlng
room spray It lavishly, even on the ta
ble linen. The odor Is very disagree
able to flies but refreshing to most
people.
Geranium, mignonette, heliotrope
and white clover are offensive to files.
They especially dislike the odor of
honeysuckle and hop blossoms.
According to a French scientist
flies have intese hatred for the color
blue. Rooms decorated in blue will
help to keep out the UleB.
Mix togther one tablespoonful of
cream, one of ground black pepper
and one of brown sugar. This mlx
turo Is pobonous to flies. Put in a
saucer, darken the room except one
window and in that set the saucer.
To clear the house of flies, burn
pyrcthrum powder. This stupefies
the flies, but they must be SWEPT
UP and BURNED.
