Insects Are Curious.

In many ways the structure Of in
sects is wonderful. They are gifted
with muscles of extraordinary strength
and are yet destitute of bones to which
those muscles can be attached They
possess a circulatory system and are
without IL heart. They perform acts
involving the exercise of certain men
tai. qualities and are without brain.
But more remarkable still, they breathe
atmospheric air without the aid OF
lungs. II we take any moderately large
insect, say Il wasp or hornet, we can
see even with the naked eye that u
series Of small spotlike marks run
along either side Of the body. These
appare!A spots, which are generally
eighteen or twenty in number, are in
fact the apertures through which the
air is admitted into the system and are
usually formed in such manner that
no extraneous matter can by any pos
sibility find entrance.

u. s. FIRST NATION
TO RECOGNIZE
NEW RUSSIA
Formal announcement Made By
State Department
OTHER GOVERNMENTS TO FOLLOW
Great Britain viii Endorse New
Regime in Conjunction With
France and Italy.

Washington, March 23-Formal and
full recognition by the United States
of the new government of Russia was
announced last night at the state de-
partment. The silence which has
been observed at the department con
corning the events in Russia was bro
ken when officials learned that the
news of ambassador Francis's official
welcoming Of the new regime had
been received in press dispatches.
t may now be stated that on Tues
day the department received a long
dispatch from ambassador Francis
asking authority to recognize formal
ly the new government. The embas
sador pointed cut that the new Russia
was founded on the same principles
which had inspired the trainers of the
American republic and that its lead
ers stood for all that this country held
sacred. The revolution. he said. had
been entirely successful and good or
der prevailed everywhere.
. Americas action is expected TO en-
courage the men controlling the new
government Russia's allies also are
planning prompt recognition. British
ambassador Buchanan is empowered
to recognize the new government
formally just as soon as Italy and
France so instruct their ambassadors
at Petrograd.

TAP MORE MAPLE TREES
Last Years Stock Of Sugar Almost
Exhausted.

Burlington, March 2y-According
to information received by the Leader
Evaporator Company there will be at
least 10 per cent. more maple trees
tapped this year than last. They base
their opinion on the statements Of
the intentions OF the farmers, who are
securing supplies from them.
The maple sugar business iuctu-
ates, ana during the past two years
tapping has been smaller on account
of the unfayorable weather. This
year. however, the situation Is SUI
spicious and the farmers are getting
ready for some work in this direc-
tion before their other tasks begin.
There is also notable improve
ment in the methods now being used.
The old, slow and wasteful methods
are being discarded. and improved
methods are continually being used
as shown by the orders of the makers
Of Inapie sugar making utensils
There is, considerable dispute re-
garding the amount OF sugar which
4 tree will produce. The Experiment
Station puts the average amount at
three pounds per tree, but in tho
opinion of most farmers, they are
lucky II they collect sap enough to
make pound and half. There are
some trees on record which have pro.
duced as high as eight pounds. but
they are widely scattered. 1t is not
so unusual for a tree to produce four
or Ave pounds but the poor ones
bring down the average.
Tapping has already been accomn-
lished in various parts of the state
and already runs OF sap have been
reported, varying between Is and
30 gallons. AS result very small
quantity of this years crop has been
produced The tapping has been done
entirely in the western and southern
parts of the State.
There is practically no market
price on sugar today. The stock
among the farmers is very small and
a big concern like Welch Brothers
has only half a car on hand.

EATING FOR HIS LIFE.
Story Of One Man Who Did Not Dig
His Grave With His Teeth.


In the American Magazine writer
cites the case of Luigi Cornaro. TO
whom he acknowledged his debt Of
health.
Luigi" he says, twas an Italian
nobleman of the middle ages. He had
money enough and leisure enough so
that Satan found plenty Of work for
his idle hands during his first forty
years. About his fortieth birthday he
fell sick, and the doctors told him TO
make his will, as he could not possibly
live another year
luigi died at 104 painlessly, as one
who passes into sweet sleep, in the
words of his granddaughter.
F"What gave him those extra sixty
four years Of life? Not doctors-he
had nothing to do with them; not med
icine; not exercise. Luigi simply stop
ped eating! He made n careful study
Of himself to discover just how little
food he could eat and still feel well.
out Of this study he soon learned the
valuable truth that most men dig their
graves with their teeth
Most men die because they have 80
loaded their bodies with excess food
that their organs Of elimination have
broken under the strain. Most men
are tired because they are self poison
ed with too much food. All this Luigi
discovered and wrote in book called
the Temperate Life
aside from the fact that belong to
family that grows stronger as 1t
grows older, owe to Luigi more than
10 any one else the good health and
happiness which I enjoy today at thir~
tv."
In twenty generations every person
has had 1876 direct ancestors.
The more powerful an obstacle the
more glory we have in overcoming 1t.

There are places near Morris on this
road where the snow is 80 feet deep
and other places where drifts cover
the track to a depth of 10 to Is feet
for distance of a half mile. A snow
pillow started Monday from Morris and
one from Little Falls to clear the
track. The plow that started from
Morris is in the ditch two miles be-
yOnd Cyrus and the pillow coming to-
ward Morris is in the ditch near Star
buck today. The big drifts back of
the University farm school were bro
ken by the snow pillow Tuesday and
dozens of people from Morris were
present to see the engine force it's
way through. The pillow was fixed in
front of car before the engine which
would back half mile and take "a
run" and strike the big drifts.
The schools closed from Wednesday
noon of last week to Monday noon of
this week. The enforced vacation
was by no means joyful one, for it
means that there will be no holiday
on LincOln's or Washington's birth
days.
The rural mail carriers went out
Monday and Tuesday and then stayed
in for the rest of the week and did
not venture out until Wednesday of
this week.
Earl Crusen, who lives FIVE miles
southwest drove into Morris Tuesday
of last week and had to stay in town
until Friday when he walked home.
Morris residents have gone back to
the primitive way of following trails,
wherever they want to go. Some of
the streets are closed by huge drifts
and only one man in town has been
able to clean off his walks. Everyone
is taking the middle of the street.
