THE ANT SYSTEM.

Ants are the most intelligent insects

ants seem 10 have some things on

The main work in an ant colony is
done by the females. But in antdom
yhe working females are a specialized
type. Pa ant mas wings and so does

wings at ALL but they get there just
the same.

living in ant colonies. Ants as you
know, have a sweet tooth. Many OF

many are mere sponges getting much
and giving nothing.
The ants who work are what we
might call old maids They sacrifice

But the queerest division of labor

BY the so-called honey pots.

ARMY AvIATORS LACK WINGS.

Congress seems to be awakening to
the Importance Of aviation as an aux
Hilary to the armed forces of the
country. The lack of adequate prep
aration in this department of modern
military science has been the subject
Of much criticism. It's value has been
demonstrated by European powers on
the battlefields OF Tripoh, Morocco and
Turkey, as well as by our naval avi-
ators around Vera Cruz. 1t is crafty
ing therefore, to find that there was
not a dissenting voice in the passage
by the house on Monday of the Hay
bill for an enlarged aviation corps for
the army. with 60 pilots and $50 en-
listed men. Ambitious junior officers
of the line will be encouraged TO enter
the air service by additional rank pay
and allowances.
The army already possesses a full
score Of young officers VINO have
learned 10 fly, but for many of them
there are no aeroplanes available ow-
ng 10 the small size of appropriations.
It seems up to congress 10 supply
wings for the fiedglings.-New York

Il believe that the greatest pres
emit menace to the American Indian
is whiskey. It does more to destroy
his constitution and invite the ravag-

does more to demoralize him as q

does more to make him an easy prey
to the INSCRIPTIONS than everything
else combined. . Let us save the A

whiskey. - Commits ioner Cato Sells
