Those persons who enjoy rae
ing feel that Paonia has been very
neglectful in so long delaying
securing grounds for track at or
near this place. On the 18th and
10Th Hotchkiss will have a racing
meet that will be largely attended
by Paonia people. This would
constitute no disadvantage II this
place also looked forward to a
similar gathering, but it should
be considered that the large ex-
pcnditure of money away from
home without hope of compen-
sating return. is considerable of
a drain on any community. We
think Paonia should attend Hotch-
kiss gatherings of this sort, but
we also think we should strive to
provide similar sports for our
people at home. 1t is likely that
we should then receive the pat
ronage of their people in compen-
sating ratio.

Insect Holds Record for Slaughter Of

Napoleon is supposed to have passed

weight Of responsibility for million
deaths. Genghis Khan and Ti1our
are credited with ten millions each.
These are mighty warriors, and his
tory gives them page after page by
way of exhorting us to the strenuous
life" but for centuries the mosquito
has pegged away and kept the annual
average of 100000 deaths! What
statesman has given to earth such a
soldier community? What patriot has
made country SO terrible throughout
the world? A general and his army
passes away--from the beginning the
mosquito has been with US. He is re-
sponsible. mainly, to-day for the fact
that the tribes OF men are cooped into
the inhospitable climates of the north
and leave the warmer, more gener-
Gus and productive south to him. Why
