Fly-killer hero outshines giant slayers in old tale
The tale of the brave little tailor is linked to modern concerns about fly control and population impact. The piece notes the vast potential of seven killed flies to multiply, then shifts to immigration, naturalization tests, and the influence of radical movements on Seattle politics. It reports on the Progress and Prosperity Committee of Washington in North Yakima and plans for a $15 million Good Roads bond issue, plus the Northwestern Development League gathering in Seattle. It ends with notices of G A R meetings and Memorial Day appeals, urging local citizens to attend.
