November. mot a county fair, but better than
county fair with the vaudeville features omitted,
was the way 1t was expressed. At the initial meet
ing 1t was decided to carry out this get-together
idea by making the exhibits of an educational
character as far as possible in every instance
To do this and to finance 1t several committees
were named. A street was closed and covered
with tents Other tents were put up on vacant
lots, and the state armory was used. All sorts OF
oxhibits-prize livestock, poultry, dairy products
grains fruit, vegetables, etc.-were shown and
prizes awarded State experts in all phases OF
farming in domestic science, in child welfare, In
detetics etc, delivered lectures to the city ana
country people. A railroad traffic expert dis
cussed plans for helping producer on the farm to
get his products directly and expeditiousy TO con-
sumner In the city. The government sent good
roads exhibit, and motion pictures were used to
make many of the lectures graphically inter
esting
And then there great closing dinner. Five
hundred persons representing every part of the
county and city attended this affair. There was
fine music for one thing-orchestral and choral
work led by Cornell university music instructors,
and soIos-and Gov. Charles s. Whitman. who was
in the city on a campaign trip, left politics behind
and he and Mrs. Whitman attended the banquet
"Co-operation" and "get acquainted" were the
watchwords of the occasion. Two weeks after
ward the committees met and decided unanimous
ly to hold another Farm and City GetTOgether

spiders: "When undisturbed. spiders never bite
anything except insects useful as their food, but
when attacked or cornered all species open their
jaws and bite If they can depending on the size
and strength of their jaws. The stories of DEATH
insanity and lameness from the bites OF spiders
are probably untrue"
The species of spider are hard to number Inc
spiders of North America have been studied by
Hentz, Emerton. Keyserling and Thorel, and no
doubt by number of other who have spe-
cialized In insects and It is estimated that there
are 800 species in North America. The spider
has heart liver stomach. intestines thorax, lungs
and several other interesting organs as, for ex-
ample, the spinning glands and spinnerets.
1t Is recorded that a good many experiments
have been made to throw light on the effect of
spider bites on distinguished entomolo-
gist named Bertkau. allowed various kinds of
spiders to bite his hand. Some of them drew
blood giving q sensation like that of a sharp
needle prick. The wounds smarted and sweled
somewhat and itched when rubbed. producing very
much the sensation of mosquito bites, but no per-
manent III effects followed. Another entomolo-
gist named Blackwell, also allowed specimens
Of the big spiders to bite his hand. He reported
that he felt no particular pain and little infiam-
nation followed and the wounds soon healed.
Still another entomoogist, named Doeschall, re-
ported that he had shut up small birds with the
Mygale one of the biggest and hercest of the
spider tribe The birds soon died after being
bitten He allowed one of his fingers to be
bitten by large jumping spider. The pain was

Nor was the grocer a robber. He had trade
which required certain standards, and the stuff
offered him did not conform to those standarus
All wrong, almost from the start
Just as the foregoing illustration makes plain
the problem more than pages of generalitfes, so
the experience of jamestown in its first Farm and
City festival will show how the effort to get to-
gether succeeds better than pages of plati-
tudes.
First of all jamestown had live board of
commerce. and secretary with vision not
bounded by the factory chimneys of the city nor
its city limits. Secretary Fred Clayton Butler
had been studying some United States census re-
ports on Chautauqua county, N. Y, and he dis
covered that most of the rural towns Of the county
and all its rural villages, but two three that
had lot of factories, had decreased in population
in the last three decades. He did not need to
be told about the increase In cost Of living. That
was self-evident.
In surveying the field he found that there was
an active apple growers association in Chautau-
qua county. also milk producers association,
farm bureau, lot of big oranges, and number
of farmers clubs. The manager of the farm
bureau was Hawley B. Rogers, and Mr. Rogers
was called into conference with Mr.. Butler
"You do not need to tell anything about de-
creasing rural populations" interrupted Rogers,

good schools and good markets. Perhaps we can
get together"

SPIDERS ARE NOT VERY DANGEROUS

arm became lame, but the soreness soon passed
away
The Mygae is one the best-known of the large
and heavy spiders 1t Is native of tropical and
subtropical America. It is said that it catches
and kills small birds with its poisonous bite and
then sucks the blood of it's victims The body
of this spider is pitch black and is covered with
long reddish-brown hair. 1t has eight eyes placed
close together In the front of its head. It is
close kinsman to the so-cal1ed bird spider Of
Surinam.
The official name of that American spider called
the tarantuIa is Cteniza California; and 1t is one
of the trapdoor spiders. 1t is common in New
Mexico. Arizona. and California. According TO
John Sterling Kingsley this spider digs its hole
in a fine soil which when dry is nearly as hard as
brick These spider holes sometimes nearly
an inch in diameter and vary In depth from two
and three inches to nearly foot. The mouth of
the hole is enlarged and then closed by thick
cover which fits it tightly. That cover fits into
the mouth of the hole very much as cork does
in the neck of bottle The is made Of dirt
fastened together with threads and, like the hole
is lined with silk and Is fastened by thick hinge
made of spiders silk. When the cover Is closed
ii looks exactly like the ground around 1t.
This like many other species of spider, Is
nocturnal in It's habits, raising its trapdoor at
night and sallying forth In search of food it's
chief food being insects.
There is so much diversity of opinion as to the
effect of the bite of these spiders that in living
where they are a should practice safety first
and take no chances with them

The famous tarantula, reported 10 be one OF the
terrors of the arid parts of the Southwestern
states and northern Mexico. and which buks SO
large in the Imagination and the fears OF those
persons who have friends the border, is really
not the tarantua of history and of fable
One of the numerous students of spiders-and
the tarantula Is a spider-says OF That terrifying
insect that II is the Lycosa tarantula, kind or
spider found in some of the warmer parts of Italy
and Spain. When full grown it is about the size
of chestnut and of brown color. Its bite was
at one time supposed to be dangerous" says this
authority "and to cause a kind of dancing dis
ease but it is now known not to be worse than
the sting of common wasp.
1t is very likely that when the early Spanish
explorers came upon the great spider of the South
west and seeing good deal of resemblance to
tbe tarantula of the old world-those explorers
not having been scientific misunderstanding
called the new spider a tarantula, and the name
has stuck.
There is no doubt that the big spider of Ari-
IONA, New Mexico California, old Mexico and
many other places is relative of the tarantua
of Spain and Italy, and in color, disposition and In
he matter of his hairy legs layman might easily
mistake him for the tarantula. But perhaps there
is not much in name far spiders go, and
II ia lust cs well avoid If possible that particu-
lar spider which so many Americans call the taran-

men, it works beautifully!
The enterprising citizens of jamestown, N. T.
and the farm people who live in the counties sur
rounding the city (Which have population OF
about 100000 joined heads, hearts and hands this
last autumn in a great Farm and City Get-Io-
gether Festival" and the affair was such huge
success that permanent organization was
formed and the festival will be held annually here
after.
Here is an illustration of how misunderstanding
is bred and why it persists sometimes:
James Mason, city dry-goods merchant, drove
out In the country pleasant Sunday afternoon
in October, and astonished at the number
of apples he saw on the ground In orchards along
the roadside 81 cannot buy good apples at the
grocery next my store" he complained unless l
pay Alaska prices for them. cents each. Yet
here they rotting the ground"
Mason jumped to the conclusion that the farm
ers did not try to save the apples, to help the
city man and his family get food. "They are
both selfish and lazy" he asserted when he told
of the experience
Simon Newcomb lived on a farm where
Mason drove that Sunday. He had been ia town
Saturday afternoon with a load of apples. The
groceryman looked them over, and offered New
comb so cents bushel. Newcomb had read in
his farm paper that apples were scarce, and he
thought he ought to have dollar bushe
"But your apples are not sorted. There are sew

Newcomb looked at his watch and saw 1t was
nearly chore time, and he sold them. But when
he got home he told his wife the grocer took adj
vantage of him and was little better than a rob-
Der.
But both men were wrong. The orchard owner
was not lazy nor selfish He had other problems
worse to handle and more necessary to him than
picking up and saving few bushels of apples
