Concerning the Mole.

Naturalists aver that among COM
mon animals few have been less
studied in their life history than the
mole. Accordingly British scientist
his turned his attention to the mole,
with the result that some interesting
Data concerning this queer creature
have been collected.
Under the edifice which the mole
constructs above the surface of the
ground will always be. found series
Of tunnels. A curious feature, almost
invariably found, is a perpendicular
run penetrating about foot below the
bottom of the nest and then turning
upward to meet another run. A mole
is never, one authority contends,
found in his nest, although it may be
yet warm from his body when opened.
Guided by smell and hearing, mole
frequently locates the nest of par
tride or pheasant above his run and,
penetrating it from below, eats the
eggs. The adult mole is practically
blind, but there are embryonic indica-
tons that the power of sight in the
race has Harper's

Hibernstion Of Mosquitoes.

DR.. Howard of the department Of
agriculture, who probably knows as
much of the mosquito and its habits
as any other man in the world, con-
tends that this cosmopolitan pest
does not necessarily perish with the
coming of winter. On the contrary,
mosquitoes have been observed to
hibernate. adult specimens living
from November until the succeeding
April or May with all their powers Of
torment unimpaired, although their
activity is suspended in winter. The
mosquito needs but little food, and
1t is the female that thirsts for blood,
the males contenting themselves with
water and vegetable fluids.
The fact that mosquitoes are often
found upon dry prairies many miles
from water Is ascribed to the long
evity of the adults of certain species
which enables them to survive sea-
sons Of drought. Railroads have BEEN
responsible for the transmission OF
mosquitoes into regions where they
were previously rare.-Harper's Week.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
Meeting Held and Money
Donated to County
fair

A lively discussion was precipitated,
at the monthly meeting, Friday eve
ming, of the Commercial Club, over
the consideration of what disposal to
make of the balance on hand result
ing from the highly successful Fourth
of July celebration. After paying all
bills the committee in charge of the
celebration had left the sum of $341. 81.
This money they turned into the
Commercial Club treasury.
At this meeting an e fort was
made to have t h entire amount
turned over to the Agricultural So
ciety of Stearns County to be used in
assisting that organization. F. E.
Minette lead in the discussion favor
ing this action. B. F. Dubois, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Fourth of July
Committee, supported Mr.. Minette's
contention, as did NJ. d. Aygarn, K
a. Norsen and some others. A. NJ
Welles, chairman of the committee,
argued for the establishment of an
emergency fund by the Commercial
Club, to be used to assist projects for
the betterment of the town. He was
backed up by G. Hillerud and j. A..
Schoenhoff, both members of the COM
mittee, W. 0. ?. Hilsdale, r. E. Han
sen and several others. 1t was finally
decided to establish an emergency
fund for the purpose mentioned, to
be immune from drafts for current
expenses of the club, and the sum OF
money in question was placed therein
for starter. Then, after some fur
Their discussion, the sum of $3.50. 90
was appropriated from the emergency
fund to aid the 1912 county fair.

made hit in calling the convention
to order and was cheered uproarious-
ly. Then followed prayer by Chi
cago divine, with the throng joining
in. the Lords prayer at the close.
The "Amen" had scarce been said,
when over hundred good sized Am
erican flags were unfurled from the
lofty steel rafters. The band struck
up "America" and the audience rose
and sang the national anthem. 1t
was inspiring.
Most every delegation has song or
yell. Pennsylvania sang a parody
on ''John Brown which ran: Gwen
hang Boss Penrose on a sour apple
tree" There was big bunch of the
Keystone state fellows. California
had to big banners, one surmounted
by golden plated Teddy bear, the
other by red bandanna. A drum
corp composed of Confederate and
Union veterans marched and made
music while handsome woman
among them waved a large flag. Red
bandannas bearing a picture of "Ted-
dy" are everywhere in evidence, while
everybody is beribboned and bebadged
''to beat the band"
"Teddy" arrived at a. m. today
and the whole town turned out 20

missed that part of the show. He'll
