them very cordially and assured them
that they would endcavor to cooperate

definite promise could he given at this

The Ears of Insects.

Simply because bee has no ears on
the sides of its head it is no sign what
ever that it is wholly without some
sort of an auditory nerve. This Is
proved by the fact that grssshoppers,
crickets. locusts and flies all have their
ears situated in queer places-under
the wings, on the middle of the body
and even on the sides of their legs.
The common house fly does it's hear
ing by means Of some little rows of
corpusces which are situated on the
knobbed threads which occupy tAe
place which are taken up by the hind
wings of other species of insects. The
garden slug or shelless snail has its
organs Of hearing situated on each
side of It's neck and the common
grasshopper has them on each of its
broad, Nat thighs. In some of the
smaller insects they are at the bases
of the wings and in others ON the bot
tom Of the feet.

America as a Peace Factor

According TO Andrew D. White. presl-
dent Of the American delegation at the
first Hague conference 1t was literally
the bushels of letters and cablegrams
that were sent from America by indl-
viduals and societies at critical mo-
ment when everything seemed dark
that changed despair into hope and III
timately had great weight in bringing
forth The Hague court. II the United
States of America can cause the next
conference to create an international
parliament in another decade or so the
time will be ripe to establish an inter
national executive. The Independent
expresses the hope that then at last we
shall have Tcnnyson's dream OF THE
Parliament Of Man. the Federation Of
the World" and for the first time since
the Prince of Peace walked on earth II
will be possible to have Peace on earth
and good will toward men"

The State fair commission, it would
seem, have done the poorest thing they
could have done in selecting White
River Junction as the location for the
state fair Owing to its inaccessible
ity. very few from this section Of the
State would attempt to attend the fau
at White River Junction, much less ok
hibit there. Furthermore the towns
hotel accommodations are entirely in 70
adequate to handle crowd OF visitors.
We can think of n dozen locations in

We believe tho State fair commission
have made mistake in locating the

Did Not Die In Vain.

Many patriotic martyrs have died
deaths Of ignominy, but that does not
prove that they lived and died in vain.
No. From the blood soaked planks Of
the French guillotine has been lifted

the sacrifice Of human life at Valley
Forge. Bunker Hill and other fields
have been evolved this mighty govern
ment of the United states today, IN
der whose constitution we now live.
In Rome there sleeps the immortal
dust Of one who has the following sad
words for his epitaph This grave
contains all that was mortal of q young
English poet who on his deathbed, in
the bitterness Of his heart at the ma
licious power Of his enemies, desired
that these words be engraved on his
tom bstone: Here lies one whose name
was written In water" That is the
grave Of the immortal John Keats,
Did John Keats ever die? No. As an
inspiration of his pen there have come
forth two mighty poets who studied
him intently as their model, Robert
Browning and Alfred Tennyson. He
lives. John Keats will always live in
song. So there has been many a mar
| tyred patriot who Thought he died an
soiect failure. But out of the death
and the patriotic sacrifice Of these he
roes of the past has been evolved an
ideal Of conduct for all patriots of this
and other nations, These patriotic
martyrs gained little or no personal
benefit. They were the seed planters
