They had warned her not to , continue, but in their presence at the; appointed time she read out of the book itself these words. "T! "ool hath said in his heart ther no God." These, vith other passages, had the effect of breaking down the opposition. -This part of her life was brought to a conclusion by the state of her mother's health, which com- I pelled her to relinquish her duties of the schooi room in orcier to assume t,, m3I1wm(,nt of her mother's household. - Miss New-Ian found great pleasure in her membership in two secret or ders.

McCulIock, Department of Ento mofrgy, Kansas State Agricultural College, said: "Flies are unquestionablyan important factor to the live stock industry. Their presence results in worry and irritation to the animal, which is re flected in loss of appetite and the general run down condition of the animal. Where abundant flies cause a serious loss of blood to animals by their piercing and sucking habits. Dairymen fre quently report a loss to the milk supply of from 40 to 60 per cent in years when the flies are es pecially troublesome. The loss of weight is also an important item to beef cattle and to work an imals. In some years, losses of from 10 to 25 per cent in weight have been noted. One other item which might be mentioned is that of the loss of time to the farm operations, since it frequently is impossible to work horses owing to the presence of large numbers of flies in the field."
