Ants. Eggs.

The egg OF the ant is uniform.
smooth, tight and bright, without any
division When the larva has come
from it only very thin membrane is
left, which rolls up and is reduced to
an imperceptible point, and even If the
egg does not hatch it is still so small
as TO escape the eyes. This is why
these eggs are so little known, for what
is commonly and improperly called the
egg is really the larva and is endowed
with life and motion. These eggs, or
rather these larvae, of ants are very
much sought after by barnyard fowl.

United

In recent address, United
States Senator David Davis sang
praises concerning newspapers, and
it is safe to say that it will not
soon be forgotten by the pencil
pushers." He said:
Every year local papers give
from 5000 to $4,000 free lines for
the benefit of the community in
which it is located. At fair adver-
Using rates, 10 cents a line, this
means from $500 to $4,000. No
other agency can or will do this.
The editor in proportion to his
means does more for his own COM
munity than any other man. He
ought to be supported not because
you happen to like him or admire
his writing, but because a local
paper is the best investment a COM
munity can make. 1t may not be
crowded with great thought, but
financially, it is of more benefit
than both preacher and teacher.
Today editors do more for less pay
than any man on earth. Patronize
your home paper, not as a charity,
but as an investment" bingham
Democrat.
Long Valley advocate. (Lardo, Idaho) 1904-1907, 1905-12-21

Enjoy life as it comes to you.
Listen to the bird songs and the
voices of the children. Linger to
watch the sunset or the opening of
a flower. Take into your life the
goodness, the pleasure and the
brightness of every day, for eve
shall pass this way but once" And
then when you reach the last day
that is given you here, you will be
content and can say, 'Ihave lived"
Town and Country.

1t takes great deal of optimism
to be always boosting" but there
is no place where good effective
boosting~is more necessary than in
the newspaper. 1t doesn't take a
very bright man to find faults with
his town or county or his fellow
townsmen. But to the newspaper
that while it notes mistakes yet
gives an encouraging view of things
there is wide field in journalism.
