This one deals hh a partnership between plants and insects for mutual protection. 7 Come into the jungle. See the leaf-cutting ants, one of the most destri stripea tree of its entire foliage in a night. - The ants lug away the leaves over roads which they have built<:- These roads are six inches wide, sometimes a mile jong, and are kept in repair and free of vegetation by squads of “white-wing ants.” At the far end of the road the ants turn the leaves into a compost, or fertilizer, from which springs up a fungus growth, a kind of mushroom for which the ants are gluttons. “These minute insects have become expert mushroom growers,” says Dr. F. J. Seaver, who tells the story in a lec- ture at the New York Botanical Garden. . * The leaf-cutting ants turn from the trees and attack cer- tain jungle plants Maybe these plants have intelligence, maybe not. :. At any rate, they seek a means of protection. Presto! An “idea” comes to them. They change their shape, alter their structure until they become small hotels. -Colonies of fighting ants observe that the plants have pro- vided ideal housing and feeding quarters. They move in. And they protect their homes. Let a leaf-cutting ant come marauding in—and it never gets out alive. The army ants kill it. They also protect the plants against all other insects. = Asa military alliance, what do you think of this combina- tion between plants and ants? The arrangement between the jungle plants and the army agis, you'll observe, is a 50-50 proposition. The plants give free rent and get\protection. The ants get the free rent and give the protection. i _ There is no sentiment about it. It’s give-and-take, dollar for dollar. No one gets any more than he pays for. Nor does he pay for any more than he gets. ‘It’s a natural law. “A fair exchange is no robbery.” If we humans lived: up.to this natural law, getting a good living would be easier for. all of us—and the average standard ‘of living would be higher it is in this doy of trying to get something for nothing. Go to the ant, chou sluggard.- Consider her ways and be 2. = TIBET \ i English explorers and scientists, organized in an expedi- tien, take up the problem that has baffled man for centuries — penetrating all of the interior of Tibet. Missionary Shel- ten of San Francisco was the last foreigner allowed to visit this mysterious country north of India. _ The expedition, if successful, will bring back strange tales. A Tibetan woman usually becomes the wife of all the brothers of her husband. The dead are fed to vultures. ‘ibetans say they are descended from a, she-devil who mar- na an ape. A country like that is fascinating —at a dis- ance. : pela RADIO ~ Radio will not menace the telegrah and telephone, pre., dicts B. E. Sunny, officia] of Illinois Bell Telephone Co, There has been a lot of speculation along this line. But’ notion sounds sensible—that radio will. develop Sunn, abreast cut. : ~ When the auto came jn, many feared that the horse would vanish. Now we know that each has its permanent field, room for both. of the phone and telegraph, not by crowding them / MOYIES =A new process for making moving pictures in all colors of the rainbow is being financed by William Hamlin Childs, big man in the dye industry. He uses a new process, one film pasted over another, in two layers. ls The cost is said to be just about double that of the black- and-white film, but film cost is only a fraction of the expense of making and marketing a movie. } _ Within 10 years the colored movie will be in general use and black-and-whites will be used only for artistic effects. a : BOOZE-CURES Before prohibition there were 142 booze-cure institutions scattered over the country. All but 16 have gone out of business. ; = The old-time “souse” is a vanishing institution. drink-cure is checking out with him, partly because there is less drinking, but mainly because the drunard who guzzles the stuff that is served nowadays gets to the undertaken before: Brothers Neal, Gold, Keeley and Gatlin open their doors for them. 4 FOG, = Autumn brings fogs. Dr. W. J. Humphereys of the weather bureau, in Washington says a dense fog in a space 3-by 5 by. 100 feet contains 60 trillion particles of moisture, yet these condensed would make only one gulp of water. = Most problems are like fogs—look bigger than they real- ly: are. . Determination and courage will condense them. ~ Incidentally, a cubic inch of dense fog contains 20,000 particles of moisture. RADIO The Air Mail Service’s 15 radio stations are now hand- ling 10,000,000 words a year by wireless. The cost is less than a cent a word. For about $35,000 radio gives the postoffice the same service that would cost $89,000 by leased wire. Radio can never go backward. It is too economical. = We live expensively to impress people who live expens- i iyely to impress us. ve insects of the tropics. They freqeuntly | The!

It | becomes of more importance to the | |fermer than all the rest of his |farm. There appears no particular | ' reason why the whole expanse of | ‘the country should not be devoted | |to the raising (not the, “cultiva-| tion”; the blueberry cannot be! | cultivated), of this admirable berry. | |The worse the soil, the better is; | the berry, apparently. For its per- | /fection, the soil should be barren | land also sour. For that reason the | | soil should be not only poor: but! ‘ new,” for newly exposed soil is japt to be acid. To, prepare the) | ground for the blueberry all you | | have to do iy to clear it of every-| | thing else. Cut off all the trees | jand bushes and burn it over, and | | the particular vaccinium that is) j proper to the conditions will take | possession. It is said in Maine) ‘that the.ash and cinders of the) | burning are favorable to the plant, | About the finest berries that are seen this year were growing on old | pastures that had not been burned | over. But the glorious thing about | ‘the blueberry is that..itiscorns cul-| tivation, It just comes up, wild, | and if the proper kind of: wildness, ; and the proper degree -of poverty | j and rawness of the soij,,are not) there the blueberrlysittiply stays | laway. What a true child of the! | wilderness! Given the proper and wild con-! | ditions, the blueberry grows in| profuse masses that put the prodi- gality of all \cultivated crops te shame. When it is ripe, the Maine people resort tojscores to the blue- berry wastes. mce they pick the! berry by hand, berry by berry That, of course, is too slow a meth- od for this generation. Blueber- ries are now gathered with a kind} of rake or comb, which looks very much like a common dustpan (a rather large one) with teeth, and bulging out into a receptacle at the back which must hold two or three quarts. With this contri-| vance in his hand, the picker,! stooping, marches along,, combing the blueberry bushes, and sweep- ing them into the back of this im- plement. When this is full, ‘he empties the receptacle into a wooden box, open at the top, and } when this is filled it is carried to the waiting motortruck and loaded in just ag it is. The contrivance gathers large berries and small, ripe ones and. green. ones, all to- gether, and they. have to be picked over . afterward. “Combing” the ‘berries is a wearisome, backaching kind of. work, In. Maine. it seems to be ‘performed.-éntirely by. men and large boys. * 4 a After the vines are once combed or raked, they are’done with as a commercial proposition, although many fine berries may be left on them in the combing, and though @ good many may develop and rip- en afterward. The gleaning of the bushes after the regular. picking is frequently left free to-all comers, ‘though up to the time of the comb-; ing the pastures and barrens are; “posted” and ‘guarded from intru- sion. There are always plenty of} berries for casual and uncommer- cial picking in the Maine country, for the bushes grow. along’ the roadside and evem in the woods, and in small volunteer patches where it is not worth while to “comb” them. The commercial berries are mostly of the low bush variety, as the high bush berries tend to grow in a better and mois- ter soil than the low.—Boston Travscript.

Tell me, Comet-Legs, did I or did 1 not see the magic automobile with |the Twins in it?” |. “You did!” declared Comet-Legs, “for I saw it myself. But I don't see it now. Something. must have hapened.

The two bad fairies wondered and { wondered, but that’s all the good jit did them, ye By and by they wandered off, then they climbed on vomet-Légs’ star again and sailed away to tell Twelve Toes the bad news. | When they had gone the Green | Wizard took off the enchanted sheet \'and there were Nancy and Nick in| | plain view. again, “Oh, thank. you, said - Nancy. “Now we can take the automobiic \back to the Fairy Queen.” | “Not yet,” answtred the Green | Wizard, “You are stuck in magic |mud and I don't know any charn | that will get you out.

CHAPTER IV When State Trooper Stormont came out on the edge of Owl Marsh, | the girl was kneeling by the water, | washing deer blood from her slender, sun-tanned fingers. | “What are you doing here?” she} inquired, looking up over her shoul- der with a slight smile. “Just having a look around,” he said pleasantly. “That’s a nice fat yy have there.” he’s nice.” him?” she inquired,. smilingly. She rinsed her fingers again and. stood up, swinging her arms to dry her hands—a lithe, gray-shirted figure in her boyish garments, straight, sup- ple, and strong. Stormont smiled too, then became grave. “Who else was: here with you?” he asked quietly. , She seemed surprised. “Did you see anybody else?” He hesitated, flushed, pointed down | ‘| at’ the wet sphagnum. Smith’s foot- prints were there in damning con- trast to her own. More than that, Smith’s pipe lay on an embedded log, and a rubber tobacco pouch beside }- it. She said with a slight catch in her \breath: “It seems that somebody has been here. Some hunter, per- haps—or a game warden. a “Or Hal Smith,” said Stormont. A painful color swept the girl's face and throat. The man, sorry for her, looked away. ‘After a silence: .“I know some-4 thing about you,” he said gently. “And how that I’ve seen you—heard you speak—met your eyes—I know enough about you to form an opin- ion. So I don’t ask you to turn informer. But the law won’t stand for what Clinch is doing-— whatever provocation he has had. And he must not aid or abet any criminal, or harbor any malefactor.” The girl’s features were expres- sionless, The passive, sullen beauty of her troubled the trooper. “Trouble for Clinch means sorrow | for you,” he said. “I don’t want) you to be unhappy. I bear Clinch no ill will. For this reason I ask him, and I ask you too, to stand clear of this affair. i “Hal Smith to take him.” As she said nothing, he looked down at the foot-print in the sphag- num, Then his efes moved to the next imprint; to. the next. Then he moved slowly along the water's edge, tracking the course of the man he was following. The “girl watched him in silence until the plain trail led him to the spruce thicket. is wanted.

Nobody’ll interfere with you then.” : Stormont smiled: “Eve,” he said, “do you really think me as yellow, as that?” : | Her blue eyes flashed a terrible” warning, but, in the same instant, He had caught her rifle, twisting it out of her grasp as it exploded. The deonation dazed her; then, as ‘he flung the rifle into the water, she ' Darragh. leaught him by neck and belt and,knows me through‘and flung him bodily into the spruces. 4| But she fell with him; he held her. twisting and stuggling with all shim.

She fell on’ both knees, got up, shoulder deep in spruce, blood run- ning from her lip over her chin. The trooper took her by the arm, She was trembling all over. He from his pocket, passed the links around her steel-bound wrists, and fastened her to young birch tree. Then drawing his pistol from its went swiftly forward through the spruces. When he saw the cleft’ in the | rocky flank of Star Peak, he walked straight to the black hole which con- fronted ‘him. “Come out of there,” he said dis- tinctly. y After a few seconds Smith came you doing here, Darragh?” : Darragh .came_ close and rested one hand on Stormont’. shoulder: “Don’t crab my game, Stormont.

Now go back you never found me.” A slight: smile touched their eyes. Both instinctively saluted. Then they shook hands; Darragh, alias Hal Smith, went back into the hem- lock-shaded hole in the rocks; Trooper Stormont walked slowly down through the spruces, When Eve saw him retuming jempty handed, something flashed in her pallid Yace like sunlight across snow, | came back and wiped the blood from | her face. The girl seemed astounded; her face surged in vivid color as he un- locked .the handcuffs and pocketed {them and the little steel chain, Her lip was bleeding again. He washed it with wet moss, took a clean handkerchief from the breast jof-his tunic and laid it against her ‘mouth, vstold it there,” he said. Mechanically she raised her hand to support» the compress. Stormont | went back to the shore, recovered | her rifle from the shallow water, and returned with it. As she made no motion to take it, he, stood jt against. the tree to which he had tied her. : Then he came close to her where she stood holding his handkerchief against her mouth and looking at him out of steady eyes as deeply blue as: gentian blossoms. “Eve,” he said, “you win. — But you won’t forgive me. . . I wish we could be friends, some day. . . We never can, now. Good- y.” Neither spoke again. Then, of a sudden, the girl’s eyes filled; and Troover Stormont caught her free hand and. kissed it—kissed it again and again—dropped it and went striding away through brush which was now all rosy with the rays of sunset. Eve, went to the cleft in the rocks above, 4 z “Come out,” she said contemptu- ously.. “It’s a good thing you hid, be- cause there was a real man after you; and God help you if he ever finds you!” + Hal Smith came out. “Pack in your meat,” said the girl | curtly, and flung his rifle across her shoulder. Through the ruddy afterglow she led the way homeward, a man’s handkerchief pressed to her wounded mouth, her eyes preoccupied with the strangest thoughts that ever had stirred her virgin mind. Behind her walked Darragh with his load of venison and his alias— and his tongue in his cheek. | Thus began \the préliminaries toward the ultimate undoing of Mike Clinch. Fate, Chance, and Destiny had undertaken the job in earnest. (Continued in Our Next Issue) | -A-‘Proclamation — | ROOSEVELT DAY. WHEREAS, the ‘vomen’s -Roose- velt Memorial Association has pur- j chased and are restoring the house in which .Theodore Roosevelt was / born, and are planning a great work in inspiring the children of America with the ideals actuating Roosevelt's! life, and WHEREAS, this organization has requested that October 27th, the an- niversary of the birth of this most dlistinguished American citizen andi statesman, be set apart as a legal holiday for the purpose of such oh- servance of the day in the schools and public gatherings as may fitting- ly bring before our people the ex- ample of Roosevelt's life, and + WHEREAS, no portion of the life of Theodore Rooscelt has in it more of inspiration for the man or wo-| man who is struggling against, great odds to achieve success than the peri- od he spent on his ranch in North Dakota. In the days of his boyhood and youth, he had been hampered by weakness and ill health. Most men would have given up a struggle against such odds and resigned them- selv@; to a life of indolence and ease, but not so with Roosevelt. He de- termined to seek health and strength and so left his home of wealth and luxury and came to the prairies and undulating hills of our state to spend a few years living in a rancher's shack and enjoying the health-com- pelling air, sunshine and freedom of | these western plains. When, after three years of such preparation, he! returned to: New York, restored in health and with increnied knowl- | edge of the needs, the ideals and the! genuine worth of, the men of the! West, his progress was sure and! rapid, his service to his county great, | and his biography for a quarter of » century synonymous with the history of his country. NOW THEREFORE, I, R. A. Nes- tos, Governor of the State of North | Dakota, do hereby designate and set aside October 27 as Roosevelt Day, and urge that thts day be appropri- priately observed by exercises in the public schools, colleges and universi- ties, and by appropriate, exercises at all public gatherings held on this day.
