PLANTS THAT MURDER

There are plants that are murderers,
kidnapers, advertisers, explorers and
storekeepers. The moccasin flower Is
a wanton murderer. Its flowers are
SO shaped as to lure ants and other
wingless insects TO- them. Once inside
they have no chance to escape. There
they stay. struggling untillthey starve
to death. Some orchids, while not
considered insect eaters, undoubtedly
draw a certain amount of nourishment
from the decayed bodies of their in
sect prey Many other flowers trap
insects. which they kill and gradually
digest as food. ....,-, q 49, ssz

CARD OF THANKS.

Having been elected to the
Office of Mayor of the city of
Mansfield / desire to extend my
sincere gratitude to the citizens
for the honor they have con.
ferred upon me.
In assuming the duties of the
Office of mayor on the 10th of
May | realize that | will owe to
the people my best efforts, and
L shall try to not disappoint
those who gave me their sup.
port last Tuesday.
My earnest desire is to do all
in my power for the present and
future welfare of Mansfield, and
with the cordial and hearty CO.
operation and endorsement of
our citizens I feel that 1 shall be
able to accomplish good results
along that line.
The high moral tone of our
city must be maintained at all
times. We want a good school,
good churches, and intellectual
societies that will shine forth
and bespeak the culture of our
homes. Our streets need to be
kept clean and attractive to the
visitor as well as sanitary both
winter and summer. City or
dinances should be rigidly en-.
forced, as we want no rowdyism
or foul and indecent language to
be heard in our midst. Boot
leggers can not be dealt with
too severely, and while I am
mayor it will be policy on their
part to give Mansfield a wide
berth. This condition maintained
without expending the funds of
the city, and in this connection
will do my best.
All that class of improvements
which entails the expenditure of
the city revenue lays only in the
breast of the city council, of
which | will be an advisory
member only. However, in that
l shall recommend pru-
dence in the expenditure of
funds, as debts and burdensome
taxes do not appeal to me as be.
ing for the best interests of our
people. Let us, rather, pay as
we go and we shall be better off
IN the end.
Respectfully,
F. Fl. RILEY.
