BIG BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY
One Day OLD Visitor Comes to the
FagIe Office.

Frank Yaw the WeH-known blackberry
grower Of Waco township brought a
one-day old butterfly and It's capturer,
his little daughter Myrtle, up TO the
Eagle office yesterday.
This butterfly is quite a curiosity TO
those who have not made a study of the
LepidOptera- It measures six inches from
tip 70 tip, and has something of a Sa-
tanic appearance. It may be Of interest
to the young and the majority OF the old
to know that this brilliant affair of ma
ture was but an ugly old caterpillar Fri
day evening.
Mr.. Yaw says the rust IS making the
outcome Of the blackberry crop q little
scsly. His other fruits are maturing all
right. but this raiser OF the debt
payin berries thinks that though he
paid his debts by raising berries in Waco
township, that city folks had better
study the bird question before they take
step in that direction.

erent sections OF the country. They had
many good words for this section. It
was two years ago that they visited Kan
sas and they expressed the great test sur
prise az the change en- this city in two
years. They make no secret Of their be-
lief that Wichita is going to grow and
become one of the great commercial and
monetary centers Of the west.
Before leaving here they drove with
]. w. Clapp over the country west OF the
city as far as Goddard and when they
returned MI. Rand said that MS party
believed that this is one of the greatest
farming sections in the United States. He
sad he had never ia all his life seen
better country than he saw west OF this
city. The farms We're clean and the
crops immense.
When the party returned Mr.. Clapp
took them 70 Riverside park and they
were more than surprised 70 find such q
beautiful park. MT. Geason said the Sc
curing Of such a nice PARK spoke more
than words could express for the bust
