SIN all Oairymen,

Are "ant cows" a myth? By no
means. Aphides, better known to the
good house wife as plant lice, consti-
tute the emmets dairy. Naturalists as
sure us that these small insects, found
upon rose-bushes, and especially upon
oak trees, pierce the tender bark of the
twigs and suck out the sweet Juice,
termed honey dew. This fluid is espe-
cially palatable to ants. BY what means
do they get it? The aphides have two
projections upon the abdomen from
which exudes the honey dew. This is
eagerly sucked off by the ants No OBJ
jections are made by the aphides. They
never kick. Indeed, they seem to enjoy
being stroked off, and kindly caressed
by the ants
But our small dairymen are not salts
fled with this casual milking of their
cows. They take their cows bodily and
carry them to their ant home, or formi-
cary. Here they are kindly cared for
during the winter and in the spring
transported to the proper environment
for aphides. In other words, their dairy
is turned out to grass" at the proper
time and place to be of most service.
More than this; ants actually look up
the eggs of aphides, take them to the ant
home and care for them, as they do for
their own larvae. Turn over a flat stone
and see how quickly the ants seize the
young aphides, as well as their own
young, .and carry them for safety to
apartments below.
Ants take good care of their dairy
stock, summer and winter. Is not this
more than some of the readers of the
Register always do? $50 to the ant,
thou shiftless dairyman, consider her
ways, and be wise"

home of Mr.. Bryan, Republican BAN

times, and was finally burned. 1t is
likely that this deed was done by those
who have no backing in either party;

of some of the Nebraskaites.

Gentlemen:-Miss Grey requests me
to inform you that she has elected to
change her Christian or given name
from GLADYS to "Jane;' hereafter she

as possible this change will be ratified by

The Los Angeles Times of July 18th
runs half-page portrait of Miss Grey,
and states: 1.-The most inexplanable as.
set of stage success is that unanalyzed
electric quality which manifests itself
masculinely as magnetism and in
women as fascination
"And as for fascination, we have had
no such thorough personifcation of the
word on our local stage in many day
as Jane Gray, whose alluring depletion
of Juanita Kenton in 1.-The Rose of the
Rancho" is one of the most charming
and vivid studies the stage here has pre-
sented this year.
81 was present at the premier of
'Juanita of San Juan but never saw
David Belasco g redrawing of Tully's
story until the other night. I'm told,
however, that in many respects Miss
Grey surpasses Mr.. Belasco's now fam
GUS little player, Frances Starr"
George E. Graham, In the Los Angeles
Examiner writes: "Miss Grey played
the title role with the absolute charm of
youth that the part demands She look
ed to be, maybe she is, in the early twen-
ties but she excelled the New York
woman, in that she rose to the drama
tics of the occasion as well as to those
portions that called for the qualities of
the ingenue. A more fascinating pic
ture of Spanish girl one could scarcely
wish to see. The undulatiug movements
that mark the women of the race, the
pretty little dance, the fascinating CO.
quetry, all were there. 1t was delight
full performance with a true ring about
1t that justified the ten curtain calls, the
wealth of floral offerings and the de-
mand for speech"
