AN AMBUSH FOR WAsPs
Special Fondness of the Queens for
Rhododendrons Leads to Their ~
Death.

a Curiosity in natural history mat
must surpass all records has been CD
served in garden not far from Alder
shot. says the London Daily Mail. A
number of wasps were heard buzzing
about particular rhododendron bush.
The gardener summoned the owner OF
the garden, and tho two proceeded to
slaughter. Within half an hour fifty
queen wasps had been killed.
The next day number more were
buzzing about the bush under the
same fatal but obscure attraction: 1t
was noticed that the wasps were
only attracted to this single bush,
which is one OF many. A suggested
reason is that the flowers were lit
tie further advanced and SO more
full OF honey, but as a rule color is al
most as strong an allurement as
scent or the honey sense.
1t is not unusual for a few queen
wasns to be killed at this season,
when the time for nest making is
approaching, but this quantity is un.
paralleled. The experience suggests
that the wasp might be eXterminated,
supposing this to be desirable, If we
all grew specimens of this favored
flower. The special fondness Of queen
Wasps for white flowers OF particular
sorts has been observed before, and
some gardeners grow such on purpose,
but fifty in half an hour is new rec.
ord of slaughter.
The queens were killed by pitching
the flowers into which they dived and
which served as a shroud to the guam
tity of bodies lying around the deadly
ambush of the rhododendron.

The Worlds Best Runners.

The best runners in the world are
said to be race of Indians living
near the Gulf of California. They are
known as Serbs, and number only
some 400. In the open country the
women and children catch hares by
hand without any artificial aid what
ever. The men, however, look upon
this as child's play, and themselves at
tack and capture antelopes, deer and
wild buffalo. The swiftest horse can
not outrun these fleet-footed Indians,
who perform on foot the same feats
as the cowboy on his broncho.
A boy can be seen driving horses
round and round in an inclosed track,
and when they have got up good
speed one of the barriers is. removed
and a horse dashes into the prairie at
full speed. 1t has not gone 100 yards
before the Indian has caught&up with
it; another 60 yards and he has bound.

For Stained Fingers.

The days of preserving bring
stained fingers. A weak solution Of

bottle plainly and keep it away from
children. Where stains are under fin
ger-nails wrap a bit of absorbent cot.
ton on end of orange wood stick and
dip in solution.
For minor stains lemon juice Is
helpful. Run ends of fingers into hall

Tomatoes will also remove stains,
especially those Of pairing potatoes or
other slight discolorations. 1t is q
whitener and softens the hands.
The fumes from lighted match or

When all else fails to remove fruit
stains, try rubbing with liquid am.

Americans at Play.

While baseball still holds its place
as the national game. it is by no
means the whole thing in American
sports. Racing and rowing srs older
diversions than baseball. and. while
they hold their Owl in point Of the
numbers interested. they are relatively
behind at least two other sports in
popularity today. Fads like bicycling
have had their day. but they do not
jar old and tried favorites from their
base.
A good second to baseball In the
number engaged is track running in
it's various forms. which includes Pc
destrianism. Football probably stands
third. 1t is not confined to schools.
but invades every playground where
the boys get room to kick something
spherical in the air and rush for it. In
congested regions boys may find room
for football when q "diamond' would
be out Of the question. Aquatic sports,
riding to hounds. tennis, cricket and
even cycling have their devotees, but
all together do not draw as many peo-
pie into the open as does baseball.

Plight Of the Unemployed.

A midwinter appeal from the New
York Bowery mission for contributions
to its charitable work emphasizes the
completely Of the problem of the I'M
employed" at this time. Briefly, while
the country is prosperous there is a
lamentable lack of work. The mission
sent over 1000 men to positions
throughout the country last year and
is preparing for the same kind of
activity this spring. From one of its
"bread line" benehciaries it learns that
there is an unusual number of men out
Of work in New York at this time and
that the homeless man Is worse off in
the great metropolis than one of his
class would be in the German cities Of
Hamburg, Berlin or Bremen.
What adds to the completely Of the
problem Of the unemployed is the diff
fculty Of adjusting labor to work or
supply to demand. Just the right place
cannot be found or made for every
individual. 1t is noticeable that work
men displaced by accident often quick
ly find other places. To want work is
a different thing from being ready to
tackle the job that is open. Perhaps a
greater charity than the Bowery mis-
sion, which tides the bread line army
owe the winter. would be a great train
ing plant where men could learn all
kinds Of rough work-farming, road
building, timber cutting, q%uarrying and
the like. Then they might be able to
earn enough In the working season to
tide themselves over spells of enforced
idleness.

One of the greatest drawbacks to the
farm work this year and for the future,
promises to be the loss of the hay and
feed crop in North Dakota. Hay will be
very scarce. the oats crop is going to be
scarcer. The rains have failed to supply
the pastures aud uplands with moisture
for the usual growth of grass, and far
mers through all parts OF the state are
reported as expecting to begin feeding
stock soon and some have already begun
to feed cattle on other feed than pastur-
age. Oats are worth more in North
Dakota than in Duluth and Min
neapolis and sales of oats from five to
ten cents a bushel are reported in this
state more than. the market quotations
on boards of trade. This is a peculiar
situation. Last years oats crop was a
large one,b but with the failure promised
for this year it looks as if North Dakota
farmers should be buying their feed
while it is cheap and shipping it in be-
fore the "trade" advances the price.

Perhaps there never was a better senti-
ment among the rank and file of the dem
ocratic party than now to do something.
Many of it's best men and leaders in the
party feel if it will line up for truestates-
manship it can gain popular favor and
become a most formidable opponent of
the republican party in 1912 in the presi-
dental election with good chances for
its success with its best men guiding it.
and by casting the anchor ahead instead
of being chained back to dead issues,
the republican party would have a fight
on its hands two years hence that
would likely put it to rout. The demo.
cratic party must make its campaign in
the present and not try to live on the
past. The republican party is weak
from trying to live principally upon its
past record rather than casting it's anch.
or forward. The democratic party may
we'll profit from the trouble in the re.

1t is now less than a two weeks until
the big North Dakota state fair opens
in Fargo. 1t is now an assured fact that
it will be the largest and best ever held
in the state. After months of constant
work the association has lined things up
in a ann that leaves little to ask for.
The very best in everything has been
secured for the entertainment of the
visitors who are expected to be IN Fargo
by the thousands during the days Of the
exposition. From Monday morning to
Saturday night there will be a constant
programme arranged solely with the
intention of making every date at the
fair a big one without doing SO at the
expense of any of the other days. The
afternoon programme will be repeated
every evening with the exception of the
races. A $4,000 programme of free
attractions will be the feature of the
afternoon and evening entertainments.
This is a programme composed of the
largest and best performances that can
be secured in the country and many of
them are animal acts. Alone this pro-
gramme will rival a circus. The associ-
alton has erected a permanent stadium
in front of the grand stand on which
these acts will take place. 1t is large
platform constructed in a substantial
manner as it will be compelled to sustain
ten performing horses and four ele-
plants.

Roosevelt is worrying a large number of
politicians who see a possibility of the

THE RESULT OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION

The primaries are over and the results
are known. The canvass of the vote,
completed on Friday afternoon, shows
that some of the candidates on
the democratic county ticket failed to
get the 30 per cent vote, and if that
section of the primary election law is
shown to be constitutional will not OBJ
tain to a place in their party column On
the ballot this fall. However there are
other routes open to a place on the
ticket and the candidates interested are
nothing daunted as to their chances of
election on the 9Th day of November.
The candidates who did not get the
required 80 per cent, which mean 345
votes, owing to democrats over the
county failing to turn out at the prima-
ries and vote, lack from 3 to % votes of
the required 80 per cent and are popular
and representative democrats, who are
sure to be heard from when the demo-
sert their right of franchise and give
the stamp Of their disapproval to the
shut off" clause of the primary law.
There are four candidates on the
democratic ticket who found themselves
lacking a few of the required 345 votes
But no cause is felt concerning as to
For clerk of the district court Charles s..
Robertson, was up close with 3A2 votes;
for county judge H: E. Dorval had 341;
for register of deeds Donald MCLAUGHLIN
had 1923 votes and for states attorney
w. B. Dickson had 318 votes. There
is SO little varience in this total vote that
although it represents anything but
the party's full voting strength there is
that in it which indicates that it was the
purpose of those who did vote that these
candidates we're their choice as party
nominees and should participate in the
final contest next November.
The democrats of no less than six
counties in North Dakota, including
Cass, Barnes, Bottineau and Stutsman
failed to cast the required 80 per cent
vote, owing to lack of interest shown by
voters at the primaries, due entirely to
not having internal strife within their
party. Cass and Barnes find themselves
without any representation on either
their county Oh legislative ticket
and will test the constitutionality of
the 30per cent feature Of the primary
election law in court. There are two
remedies other than going into the
courts. One is for these candidates to
go on by petition as independents and
the other the "sticker route" and it is
an assured fact that the democrats will
be on the ballot and get their full share
Of the vote cast IN the fall. Those
republicans who think that the 80 per
cent clause is a Knockout" to those
democrats who failed to got the per-
csntage Of votes at the primaries have
ansthei guess coming.
