SCIENCE PLEADS FOR BAT.
University Professor Says 1t Is Useful
Insect Destroyer.

That the bat by killing night flying
insects is a benefit to humanity; that
he cannot really see at night. as is
popularity believed. but directs his
flight and hunts his prey by sound;
that, as q rule, he devours his prey in
full fiight-these are among the inter
esting statements in plea for the bat
which DR.. Joseph Grinnell of the Uni
versity of California faculty has in
cluded in recent paper in which he
says:
Vast quantities of night flying in
sects are destroyed by bats every
twenty-four hours. 1t can be seen
therefore, that bats continue the war
fare on insect life which is so inces
sanity waged by the birds during the
daytime.
All bats have enormously developed
ears, and their sense of hearing is
doubtless very acute. 1t is suggested
that the drone OF q June beetle sounds
to them as does the roar of biplant
motor to US. This specialized sense is
essential in hunting their insect food
for their eyes are so poorly developed
that they can only act as mere indica
tors of light intensity.

The death of Maxwell Evarts is a
blow to Vermont. He was in the prime
of mature manhood at SO, loyal to the
state and an enthusiast over its posi-
bilities. He was a man who was will
ing to give freely of his means and his
time for the advancement and better
whole state. In his death the state
fair has suffered an irreparable loss. In
his personal bearing Mr.. Evarts was a
likable and lovable type of man.

NUTS INSTEAD OF MEAT.

Nuts have such high place in the
food and with many take the place of
meats that a few recipes will be sug-
gestive in planning menus.
A handful of nuts added to cup Of
chopped cabbage and celery with
simple dressing makes most whole
some salad
Apples, which may be peeled, cored
and stewed until nearly tender with
out losing their shape may then be
decorated with quartered blanched al
monds, put in like porcupine quilts,
sprinkle with powdered sugar and
bake long enough to brown the al
monds and finish the cooking of the
apple. A little strip poured around
them While baking will be an addition
and may be served with whipped
cream around the fruit after it is
we'll chilled
Potato balls decorated with almonds
and brushed with butter, then baked,
are another most attractive looking
dish.
Nut Fruit Cheese.-Add to a cupful
of chopped hickory nut meats, a cup
of dates, half dozen figs, put through
meat chopper, six bananas, mashed,
a cup of blanched and chopped al
monds, salt, turn the mixture into a
buttered mold, cover with buttered
paper and steam for three hours Turn
out and when cold, cover with a mer-
ingue, brown and garnish the dish

said that he doesn t take much stock
in what the financial magnates have
to say because he distrusts them. That
of course puts even the most honest

position where he cannot say much. To
all of this the Eagle says: "'Change is

urged that the archaic be abandoned,

BOOST In MEAT PRICES
is LAID TO BEEF TRUST
Packers Generally Blamed Despite Elk
cuse Given of Drought.

Officials of the department of agri-
culture have been viewing with alarm
the possibility of 4 large increase in
the price of beef during the coming
fall and winter, due largely to the
drought in the corn belt, which will
make feed for beef cattle scarce and
high.
But officials regard as ridiculous the
stories from Chicago and elsewhere
that sirloin steak will sell for 80 cents
a pound. They expect to see prices go
up noticeably, but 1t is thought no
body will have to pay any such fancy
prices for steaks. That the beef trust
is largely responsible for such reports
is commonly believed among officials
in Washington.
Unfortunately the department ex
perts are obliged to confirm the figures
which show a diminishing supply of
beef cattle Several formal statements
have been issued recently in which the
figures showed a falling off of 80 per
cent since 1905. The falling off has
continued gradually. This, combined
with the corn belt drought. will have
n tendency to boast prices.
1t was on account of the gradually
| decreasing supply of beef cattle in this
| country that Secretary Houston sent
| DR.. A u. Melvin. chief Of the bureau
! of animal industry, to investigate the
industry in South America and an
other expert to New Zealand for the
| same purpose.

OUR QUESTION BOX

Can any one tell me where the term
sandwich as applied to two slices
of bread with some edible substance
between, originated?
This rather interesting reply to your
question is found in an old clipping
''John Montague, fourth Earl of Sand
wich. who died in 1892, was an inyet-
crate gambler. In order to prevent in
terruption at play and to save time he
originated the custom of having thin
slices of bread, with meat, cheese or
a relish between them, brought to the
gaming table, and his invention was
given his name.

Winter Styles For Men.

According to reports from New York.
there is to be no decided change in the
fall and winter styles for mems cloth
Ing. excepting for overcoats. which
will be made shorter. Chinchlla is
the popular fabric for them. and there
is tendency toward using solid colors
and avoiding fancy effects. The de-
mand for Norfolk coats is diminishing.
Soft roll front coats of the two and
three button English style with patch
pockets are favored. Sack coats will
be slightly shorter. Vests will be cut
somewhat lower than formerly, and
trousers are to be narrower.

TO OPEN RESERVATION.
1,345,000 Acres to Be Turned Over to
Whites and Indians

The opening of 1.34J,000 acres of
land at the Fort Peck Indian reserva-
ton. in eastern Montana, holds out a
promise of an addition of 20,OOOO0
bushels more of grain to the annual
production of the country. according
to estimates by persons identified with
the Great Northern railway. which
serves that region.
The total acreage of the reservation
is more than 100000 acres, and the
land allotted to the Indians is 723,G93
acres. On moderate estimate, there
fore, it would seem that this yield may
be counted upon If there is anything
like the rush of white people to that
locality that is common in such cases
and if the Indians can be induced to
engage heartily in agriculture.

SChoolrooms of all the churches were
gorgeously decorated with a wealth
of autumn leaves in all their red
and gold beauty, cotton, snowy white
with it's withered stalks and ragged
leaves yellow pumpkins, golden grain,
all the autumn flowers.

room was turned into veritable

platform was covered with fruit and
baskets of vegetables. These will be

l For several years there has been
a movement, chief of this being the

schools from the church. The weaker
schools, in trying to live, have given
up their distinctive ideals and ac-

doing so they sold their birthright for

Dr. ThorHwell Jacobs, the enthusi-

In travelling from Virginia to Tex

the experience has often been 80 dis
couragtng that | tell you II is ex-
iremely good to hear so many Allan
tans taking personal interest in the
project
From the pulpit Of st. Mark Meth
odist Church Sunday DIR. Jacobs told
how the idea was conceived to re-
found old Oglethorpe University how
more than $500. 900 had already been
raised for the purpose and how A.
ANITA was expected to contribute
$25000 more. A large congrega ton
heard him.
In 1885" he said, the Georgia
Education Society. founded by Hope
we'll Presbytery founded Oglethorps
University.
THE breadth and importance OF
This society is shown by the fact that
il was made up Of Methodist, Baptist
and other denominations as well as
Presbyterians, and that q few years
later II founded Mercer University
and Emory College.
"Oglethorpe University thrived
then persisted during the Civil War.
An experience had in Houston, Tex

"A man came up after the meeting
and said that he had been a Union
soldier and had helped to kill It, but
that he would give $1,000 to help
bring it back to life
Another striking excerpt from Or
Jacobs talk was his answer TO the
question of how other denominat lions
than Presbyterian were expected to
aid in the ESTABLISHING t OF the uni
Versity.
II have just told you how old Ogle-
thorpe was founded by the same peo-
pie who established Mercer and EN-
