The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1910-06-29


An Iowa editor has been called
to Washington because his sub
scription list is not AS we'll paid up
as the law requires. He will have
to explain to the government Off
ciaIs why he has not compelled his
subscribers to pay up according to
postal rules. An inspector had
visited him two months previously
and his list was said to be pretty
thoroughly paid up. but evidently
it was not sufficiently SO. 1t seems
a .little tough that editors have to
be hauled up before the govern
ment under the charge of violating
the federal laws Just because they
do not eternally keep dunniiig their
subscribers for the small sum they
owe on subscription but it IS like
the end OF the world, no man know
eth when Il coneth. and no editor
knows what day an inspector may
pop in and ask I'd see his list

On Tuesday, the women of the
i U and | had walnut gathering at
the Stevens home In honor of Mrs,
Holroyd's birthday, Dinner was
spread in shady place under some
walnut trees-and such dinner.
There is no use to try to mention all
that was there to eat. There was
so much left that the women divided
1t between them and took the re-
mainder home for supper so that the
men might all have a taste. In the
afternoon they gathered about ten
bus! els of walnuts. About four
o'clock they adjourned to meet again
for the same purpose next year If
there are any walnuts.
1t has often been said-by the
men--that women can not keep Sc
Icrets. The falsity of this statement
was proved thoroughly on Tuesday.
A surprise party had been planned
and all arrangements made to be
given at the Fengel home on Tues
day evening. Then the walnut gath.
ering was planned and Of course Mrs,
Fangel was invited. At first the
women were rather afraid that some
hint might fall which would let Mrs
Fengel know what was coming, but
everything went off all right and
Mrs. Fengel went home hoping to
see us all again scotland she did.
The surprise party given at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. M. Fengel was
one of the most complete surprises
ever given by the U. and l. Many
games were played and the company
was divided into two parts to ses
who would eat supper first. The
married people were gathered in one
room and the single folks in another
room. Three judges were appointed
to decide which group sang the best,
and the side which sang the better
was to have supper first. OF course
the married folks won, and then the
young folks amused themselves by
singing while the other people ate.
1t was very delightful occasion and
one long to be remembered. Mr..
and Mrs. Fengel have beautiful
country home and we hope to go there
often.
Many from here have lecture
course tickets. Some Of the men
we're in line at five o'clock Thursday

McC. .los. A deiiclou lunch wa'
served to the guests. 1t is hoped
that we may have manv such de-
lightful afternoons during the winter,

/ ElN Traps of Spiders' Nests.

Spiders nests are used In Mexico as
fly traps, During the rainy season the
Villages are invaded by numbers Of
flies land other insects. To rid house
Of these pests the natives hang the
branch of tree bearing spiders nest
to nail in the ceiling. The surface
Of the nest enlarges concentrically
after each capture of an insect, and 1t
exercises an Irresistible attraction on
files When a spiders nest is opened
1t is found to be filed with insects.
Experiments made with paper nests
so manufactured as to be exact copies
Of the real nests show that flies will
not enter them. Though very small
and apparently Insignificant, the In
habitant of the mosquero attacks In
sects fur more important in size than
the largest housefiy. The wasp Is one
of its favorite victims, and the wasp
always gets the worst of the struggle.

G. @. Chapman, promotion manager
of the Commercial Club. has been
touring Western Oregon urging the
landowners to cut up their tracts into
such holdings as will permit the man
of average means to acquire home
when he comes to the state. His ar
gnment shows that in many regions
tracts are entirely too large now for
the humble homeseeKer to purchase.
AS the great future of the fruit rusi-
ness, dairy industry and other agri-
cultural lines is with the small tract
on which the owner does most of his
work, Mr.. Chapman voices the gen.
eral hope of the state that land will
be so segregated that every man COM
ing will have no difficulty in seour-
ing such acreage as he can work to
advantage.
