In the West Indies is found species
of land crab which lives a considerable
distance from water but once year
migrates to the seashore in order to
spawn. AS soon as the crab reaches
the beach 1t eagerly goes to the edge
of 49,, -uo +a- ond ir+e the wauns roll
over It's body to wash Off the spawn.
The eggs are hatched under the sand,,
and soon after millions of the newborn
crabs are seen quitting the shore and
slowly travelling up the mountains. The
yearly migrations of the old crabs are
among the wonders of animal life. In
going down the crabs of large region
seem to select certain rendezvous,
and there they gather in countless
numbers. The procession, which is
commonly divided into battalions, with
the strongest in front, sets forward
with the precision of an army. In trav-
cling they turn neither to the right nor
left. Even if they meet house they
will try to scale it, The night Is their
chief time Of travelling, but if it rains
by day they improve that occasion.

Letter to Rob't. E. Hand
Erma, N. J.

Dear Sir: A man fed his hens half
meal and half sawdust; he thought
they wouldn't know the difference.
He concluded they did when the eggs
Matched woodpeckers.
Another man painted his house with
paint that was made of half paint
substitutes. He didn't know the diff
erence-not till he paid the painter.
He had 20 gallons to pay-for, 20 in
stead of 10. Got fooled $3.50 on the
paint.
He had 20 days wages to pay-for, 20
instead of 10. Fooled $50 in wages.
He got poor job besides. He paid
too much for his eggs, and they hatch
ed woodpeckers.
Yours truly,

When The West Was Unknown.


Between the Missouri and the Pa
cific," said member of congress, ''save
a strip of culturable prairie not above
200 or 800 miles wide, the region is
waste and sterile, no better than the
desert of Sahara and quite as danger
GUS to cross" The author of these
words was Edward Bates of Missouri,
whom Horace Greeley long afterward
doomed for the presidency in the New
York Tribune and in the Chicago Re-
publican convention of 1860, and who
became attorney general in Lincolns
cabinet. This was In the session of
congress of 1920. AS late as 1S43 Nc

by the ladies of the Wildwood Baptist

The program included instrumental,

The humorous characters of the sew
ing society were skillfully imperson-
ated and the costumes of vivid colors
were buresque on those of our fore

May Retain spOOner.

There Is some likelihood. however. that
Senator spooner will be engaged by Mr..
Hartman and that he WIN nave charge of
the suit which is expected over Southern
Pacific.
The question Immediately arises as to
how such litigation viii affeot the Southern
Pacific, particularly. The chances are that
neither the Southern Pacific nor the Union
Pacific will be affected, leastwise ad-
verseiy, to any appreciabie extent. In the
first place. the courts would probably give
the Union Pacific a reasonable length Of
time to dispose Of the Southern Pacific
stock. II has already been determined by
the Hartman party that this stock will
apt fall into inimical hands. To do 30
would spell ruin to the Union Pacific. The
loss Of the Central Pacific line from Ogden
10 San Francisco would be a very serious
blow to the Union Pacific.
There Is little doubt that It's Southern
Paoihc stock VIII fall into hands friendly to
the Union Pacific, and II the court DEGREES
that the stock must be sold by auction,
as Il may do, then the friends Of the Union
Pacific must so TO the auction 70 buy It.

Aside from the task OF perfeeting his
plan for peace with the government and

having a most severe undertaking in allay-
ing public anxiety as TO the financial rela-
tions that exist between the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific. Eastern reports

"a was learned also that there IL little

after the Interstate Commerce commission

Il was also stated that tho Union Pacific
