ORGANIZE LITERARY CLUB
Sophomore-Senior Glasses Elect Of.
ficers To Act During Year

Immediately after schooi last
evening the first step to orgarize the
literary socities was taken when
the sophomores and Seniors met and
elected James Sullivan as president,
Lucy Brooks, vice president and
George Graham, secretary and trea-
sure. The president was instructed
upon motion to select committee
of four to arrange a program which
will be given October 31st. Efforts
will be made to obtain the Girls
Glee Club to sing on this occasion
and it is probable that other musical
selections will be rendered including
piano solos. and instrumental selec-
tons.
AS this will be the first program
to be given by the society this year
the committee will plan to make it
one of the most entertaining of the
school year and plenty of time will
be given each participant to practice
their numbers.
Friendly rivalry usually exists be-
tween the Sophomore-Senior and the
Freshman-Junior societies and the
programs rendered. under tho ans
pices of either society are usually
prepared with great deal of care
so as to excel the other socieits en-
tainment. ~. ....,-

DENIES THEFT OF AFFECTION
Mrs. Mackay's Answer to Million Dol
lar Suit. &c..


r.. New York, Oct. 16.-Mrs. Clarence
H. Mackay, suffrage leader and wife
of the head of the Postal Telegraph.
Cable company, broke her silence re-
garding the million dollar suit filed
against her by Catherine X. Blake,
for alleged alienation of the affec.
tons. of her husband, Dr. Joseph A.
Blake, surgeon. ."
Through her personal counsel, Ar
thur C. Train, Mrs. Mackay denies
all of Mrs. Blake's allegations in a
formal answer filed in the supreme
court and characterizes Mrs. Blake
as one who has "a Jealous DISPOSE
ton, an ungovernable temper and nc
affection or love for her husband"
who, at one time, it is alleged. she
threatened to kill. =.
Mrs. Mackay alleges further that
DR.. Blake has not lived with the
plaintiff as his wife since the year
1904, "long prior to the time when he
first knew or had any acquaintance
with the defendant" g,
Mrs. Mackay says she did not meet
DR.. Blake until 1909, long after the
breach had come between him and his
wife and she prays therefore that the
suit against her be dismissed.

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical frternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease requires con-
stitutonal treatment. Halls Catarrh
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton OF the disease, and giving the pat
lent strength by building UP the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that

case that it fails to cure. Send for list

OF the third or fourth, all products
sufficiently standardized to permit
the consumer to safely buy direct.
In Iorder to do this, the rates
should be as low as the costs OF
service permit it in the postofice
and the weight limit as high as the
retail weight OF such products or
dinarily runs individual consump-
ton. Other countries have a
weight limit o; more than 100
pounds, and Belgium, the paragon
in this matter, is proposing to raise
its weight limit from 1872 pounds
to 22o pounds.
My own idea is that so pounds
should be the limit as to Invisible
products, with no weight limit as
to articles that may weigh more
and are incapable OF division, like
a machine. For the larger weights,
above so pounds, the carriage
should be done by the consignor
and consignee, the Postal Depart
ment equipping itself to deliver
weights up to so pounds. OF

The conditions are such that he.
can initiate a system that will take
the place OF the express companies
and extend their service to every,
village and farm at rates one-half,
those they have been charging,'
effectively supplying direct front
producer to consumer transpor-'
tation. He can utilize the fast
reight rates and service on the
railroads to give rates about one-'
quarter those now charged by the
express companies TOR articles of

the relatively costly passenger

make enough profit out OF thus

GOVERNMENT OWNER
SHIP OF RAILROADS

a youthful correspondent writes
that, in coming debate, he is to
champion Government ownership
OF railroads, and he wants me to
supply him with some ammunition.
Unfortunately, any shots | might
fire would be at him, not for HIM.
He is to argue that Government
ownership would bring lower
freight and passenger rates, that
employees will undergo civil ser
vice examination, therefore assur-
ing competent men and reducing
accident possibilities also that the
railroad business is very profitable
and could be a source OF very good
results, as it is at present to the
Goulds and others. The Labor
Department will be benefited un-
der Government control. He is
also to fortiiy his position by sta
tlstics from foreign Government
owned railroad systems.
Well, my friend deserves credit
Tor tackling so big subject. There
is need for debate on this and the
thousand other problems now be-
fore the country. Most questions

angles. 1t is we'll to study every

stance, known as "honey dew" OF
which he ants are very fond. For
this reason the root lice are very well
cared for by the ants, and especially
by one kind of ant known as the Tit
tie brown ant" In the fall the ants
take the eggs Of the root aphis down
into their nests and keep them there
throughout the winter. The next
spring, when the egsg hatch, the ants
place the young root lice on the roots
of the common smartweed, or some
other common weed, where the lice
begin to feed. Later on, If the ground
be planted to corn, the ants transfer
the root lice from the weeds to the
corn roots.
So the ants care for the root aphis,
and in order to fight the root aphis
the farmer must fight the little brown
ant.
A deep, thorough stirring of the soil
on old corn ground will tend to re-
duce injury by the root louise. This
stirring Of the soil breaks up the
nests and scatters the ants. Conse-
quently the ants cannot give the lice
the proper care. The burrows Of these
ants do not often reach to depth OF
more than six inches. If the ground
is stirred at that depth, the attempts
of the ants to recover their property
and reconstruct their nests are rem
dered largely fruitless.
