From all parts of the state comes
plea for the saving out of feed
corn by the farmers of the state.
Gov. Hanna has called attention to
the necessity of this action. State
papers one and all are taking up the
cry. A late appeal to reach our
desk is that by the Fargo CONNER

is fast becoming corn state. Corn

LIFE
Where DO the Swarms of Summer In
sects Pass the Winter?

Baltimore News. Where are all
the insects which swarmed every
where a few months ago? Most of
them are dead. though not all, and
yet next summer there will be as
many as ever again. For though the
parents may die, the mother has left
a supply Of eggs which next year will
hatch into a swarm of insects. Ii
you search for the eggs in the our
try you will doubtless find some
perhaps glued to stems and bark of
trees, or hidden under wood or fallen
leaves.
However, If when the cold weather
comes, the eggs have already Matched
into grubs or larvae. or have made
the change into the third form of in
sect life-the papae or chrysalides-
then they will pass the winter in n
| of these forms.
The higher insects. such as the
beetles, butterflies and moths. nearly
always are found in the chrysalis
form during winter, though there are
exceptions, for some beetles and cat
erpillars burrow in the ground or
lie in barns or under rubbish till
warm weather enables them to move
about again.
There is no better time than now
to hunt for c~hrysalides. You can find
them in rotten stumps. under fence
rails, in cracks of wooden buildings.
in the bark of trees and other places.
Those of the moths, which are always
wrapped in ~cocoons. are particularly
easy to find; especially the large va
%rieties, which are fastened to trees
and bushes wrapped in dead leaves.
Some Of them swing from the twig,
the stem of the leaf securely fastened
by the strong silk the caterpillar
made before retiring within his snug
home.
Gather some cocoons and keep
them till spring; then watch for the
birth Of the gorgeous creature hidden
within the lifeless, dry cocoon. II
you are fortunate enough to see the
moth emerge from the cocoon you
will realize what a wonderful trans
formation this Is.

CROWDED SCHOOL
Teachers at Clark Resign on Ac-
count of n Lack OF Room.

Clark, March Isl. w. Ault, SUI
perintendent of the local schools the
last two years, has rendered his resig-
nation and accepted a similar posi-
tion at Bryant. The majority of the
teachers have also served notice of
their intention to leave this spring.
This conclusion on their part was
reached after it became apparent
that the board could make no prom
ises of relief in the crowded condi-
ton of the school, which makes good
work practically impossible. Every
teacher was offered another years
contract with an increase of pay, but
they considered the handicap more
than offset the difference in salary.
1t is only a matter of time when an
other school building will have to be
erected. as conditions are unbearable
at the present time and Ii is probable
that steps will be taken in a short
time looking toward such an inn
provement. Il. j. Heinmiller OF Red
field has accepted the position OF SUI
perintendent.
