The annual township election of Ere
mont for 1908 passed into history after a
very exciting contest for the different
offices. The best of feeling prevailed
throughout the day. The count showed
that the old board had been retained
with the exception of Joseph Galloway
for clerk, who was defeated by George
Dumas by three votes. Several resolu-
tions where adopted, some of them we
are of the ~opinion-do an injustice to
ChO a. az I1O Oil IlllC ullCOllSIlIuN
%tional, conflicting with the laws that
already have been laid down by our
legislation for governing townships. A
motion was moved and carried calling
for the road overseers in their re
spective districts, to superintend the
road work in each district for the
amount of the road tax they might be
charged with. When the different road
overseers were nominated they did not
anticipate any change in the way of the
compensation which had prevailed in
former years, and if a change was con
templated they should have had an OPP
portunity to reject the nomination, and
allow those who favored this motion to
take the Offices. We are informed that
many of the road overseers ethat have
been elected will not qualify under this
motion. No doubt the mover Of this
resolution was perfectly conscientious
and considered that this would be a
good way to cut down expense and save
money to the tax payer. We, however,
are of the opinion that if there is one
thing that the tax payer should lie
deeply interested in more than another
it is good roads. To curtail expense
along this line is unwise, and not for the
best interest of the community. We
consider it a backward step, particularly
SO when there never was more talk
throughout the length and breadth of the
land on the good roads question. We
admit that nature has left the township
of Fremont with a very uneven surface,
which requires annually large sums Of
money to be expended on til. roads To
maintain them and to open w new ones
for travel. Many good arguments can
be brought forward in support OF good
roads. We feel that every tug payer is
beneftted more or less by every dolla,
that il expended OF the lublic highway
when it is properly and wisely expended.

ANTS AS WEATHER PROPHETS.
Their Method of Giving Warning Of
an Approaching Storm.

Ants as weather prophets afford
new testimony to the cleverness Of
these small insects. -
When you go out on spring morn
ing and find the ants busily engaged
in clearing out their nests and drag
ging the sand and bits of earth to
the surface you may be sure that no
matter how cloudy 1t is there will
be no rain that day and the probabili-
ties are for several days OF good
weather.
II, however, you see the ants about
the middle Of spring or summer af-
ternoon hurrying back to the nest
and sentinel trotting out in every di.
rection looking up stragglers and urg-
ing them to go home as soon as they
can get there, you may figure on a
rain that afternoon or night.
When the last of the wanderers is
found the picket hurries in and the
nest is securely sealed from the inside
to keep out the water~ 1t is seldom
that ants are taken by surprise by the
approach Of shower.

Show Men Like Apes.

Prehistoric paintings recently un-
earthed show man to have been like
an ape. The only known examples Of
paintings OF men by prehistoric cave
decorators have been discovered lately
by Prof. Rene Leaunel in the Portel
grotto. a cave of Louhens, In Ariege,
France, where Noulet already had
found quaternary remains and human
bones. About 40 sketches in black
or red, only one in both colors, adorn
the cave as frescoes, and two repre-
sent men OF a primitive type, while
the others show bisons, boars and
horses. OF the human figures one has
a long head, with retreating forehead,
while the other shows remarkable
apelike pose. with rounded back and
arms pendent in front. There is a
cruoching boar, but the horses are
mostly galloping and poorly drawn, al
though the forequarters of horse
are quite sklllfully figured in black on
one of the darkest walls Of the cavern.
