mpi Egg Layers.

Many insects are extremely prolific.
All Of the order ~Hymenoptera. the bees
and ants, lay large numbers, but they
are easily exceIled by the order Plecop-

But the champion egg layers are the

that these insects are called white ants
because they are not ants and because
they are not white, but he further goes
on to tell US that the females Of some
Of the African species grow to an enor-
nous size. and their abdomen. swollen
with eggs, becomes as big as a large
potato. The rate at which the eggs
are laid is extraordinary, being about

bearing per cent interest. payable semi
annually. having the Union Trust Com
pany as trustees.

Mrs LomaX found a pocketbook on the
table in her husbands room. When she
asked her husband to whom it belonged,
he replied: That's my sweetheart's."

Another matter that may be brought
before the President is a claim that while
Lomax and his wife We're living In a Mis-
souri, avenue house the husband pursued
the wife with a razor and forced her to
jump from window. This was not
brought out at the woman's trial.
Arthur Johnson, colored, sentenced to
