The nur aber was around on an acre where the soil was excepti ric ht now is the busiest season of the year for Wherever the autumn winds are maki leaves flutter to the earth, our old friend f dragging the dead } s into his tunnels, there to rot and enrich the soil. Profe: J. Arthur Thomson, in “The Outline of Science,” records that, on the average, the fishworms in an acre of ground pass 10 tons of soil thru their each year. nd they have been doing this for many mil lions of yea They cover the surface at the rate of three inches in 15 years, and they are thus continually circulating the soil. An age-long ploughing field, w hich was so thickly covered with hard flints that it was known as The Stony Field, was left untouched for 30 years, after which a horse could gallop from one end to the other without ever striking a stone.” Darwin wrote this: “The plough is one of the most ancient and most valuable of man’s inventions; but long before he existed the land was, in fact, regularly ploughed by earthworms. It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the earth as have these lowly or- ganized creatures.” The earthworm made life on earth possible for man. We couldn’t continue existing, without its assistance at preparing the soil for food we eat and for the trees so chemically necessary in our system of air supply. Despite the earthworm’s important function in nature's scheme of things, a lot of us are surprised to learn that it has a purpose other than to be used as fish bait. Woe worms. bodies Maybe they won't impeach Governor Watton, after all. Democratic bosses fear it will turn the state over to the republicans. It’s like this —all Walton did was abolish the constitution, liberty, freedom of speech and representative government. But what's that, compared to losing the state to the opposition party?

At the same time, the presidential chair isn't running around and asking anybody to sit in it, The End of the Dude It took nearly 30 years to get rid of the word “dude,” whereby the cleanly-dressed man was frowned upon either as effeminate or as having a hare-brain. So comments Fred Voiland, president of National Association of Retail Clothiers. We're all dudes now, on occasion. That ends the ridicule that shadowed the fancy dresser years ago. The scoffers became dudes. Advertising did it. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but sha that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.—Prov. xiit.
