There's something funny about the
field mice. TOO Ii we have too many
Of them we will never have any clover,
The field mice 10 NOT eat clover, but
they will destroy the humble. bees

bumble-bees. Moreover, the humble
bees get the honey from the clover and
distribute the pollen TO. ether plants
and fertiiize them 50 that thu. seed
Will ripen Honey bees cannot reach
the honey il the red clover; conse
quently they leave it alone.
Thus you see that the clover is de.

bumtile.bees are dependent upors The
owls and hawks; otherwise The mice
WOULD extelminate them. Gee! This Is

INSOMNIA
(Memphis Commercial AppeaD

(Memphis Commercial AppeaD
We have all been raised up OH the
idea that if we do not sleep well there
is something wrong with us. Immedi-
ately we begin to talk to our friends
about our insomnia, and then we lie
awake at night in a nervous effort to
count the clock and have something
else to tell about tomorrow. Many
people have regarded it as an inter-
esting phenomenon that they could
not shut their eyes when they go to
bed and not open them until rising
time in the morning.
We have been told that excessive in
somina will make us insane, but cases
of that nature are few and far be
tween, and are complicated with some
other serious affection. Just the ordi-
