To Mr.. and Mrs. ]. p. Jacobson,
Washburn, Wis,
Friends
While we m mbers of the Bay field
County Council Of Defense fully
realize that no expressions of SYM
pathy from US to you. and no utter
ances of ours in appreciation of
your soE Byron, can in slightest
wise subtract from the grief that is
in your hearts Or add aught to the
tenderness Of memory in which you
hold him, yet we, in this our Fl. st
assembage since death took your
son from you, feel that we will be
neglectful of patriotic duty If we
failed to make record of the fact
that we do symyathiz. with you
and that we do appreciate the ser
vice rendered his country by Byron
jacobson, the first from our county
to yield his life IN this war in which
we are embarked.
AS truly as tho he had actually
faced the bullets. the shells and I'll q
deadly gases from the trenches OF
our nation s enemies. Byron Jacob
son gave his life for his country and
his country's flag.
His name will be indelibly in
>cribed in memories OF all loya.
Bayfield, County Citizens and we
hope that there ultimately will be
erected within the county such
monum mt as will eloquently testify
thru all years to come to the estee m
liz which our people held, and will
ever hold, him and such other of
our boys" as have gone to service
and may fail of returning to Us in
the flesh,
That you may have test nonial to

THE FLYING ANTS.

Suppose you shut your eyes and go
with me into that little ant hill by the
rosebush in the garden. You will have
to run through many long Railways or
galleries in the ground.
Everywhere you will meet ants hur-
rying In and out Some of them will
be carrying grains and seeds to put
into their storehouse for winter. 9th
ers will be carrying the baby ants III
or out of the different little rooms or
cells. These babies are at first only
tiny white worms. You will notice
other ants carrying little bundles wrap
ped in white. These are sleeping ba-
bies who have wrapped themselves up
in gOssamer blankets to awaken after
awhile as full grown ants. Then the
ant nursemaids will tear off the covers,
and the little ant will come out of the
cradle.
In every ant hill is a queen mother,
who lays the eggs from which the
Young ants come The other ants take
the best of care of her. She never
does any work or goes out of the ant
hill alone. In the fall, however, she
gets restless, tired of staying in the
house, and sometimes just will go out
In spite of everything. If she is Il
young queen she is very apt to want to-
go out and see the world.
She has wings, and some other ants
that have wings, too, follow her. A
IL ala Of win
swarm out of the ant hill after the
queen.
Perhaps after awhile she makes up
her mind to go back to the ant hill
Then there is great rejoicing among
the other ants.
When the queen goes back to her cell
the other winged ants unlock their
wings from their sides and go to work
You see. the wings are not fastened to
their bodies, but are just hooked there
so that they may be taken off when
they are no longer needed They would
be in the way of the working ants,
who must dart into all sorts of tight
corners and through many narrow
openings where wings might be torn.
Sometimes there are several queens
in an ant hill. Then not all the queens
come back to the ant hills. Some fly
off to see the world and never get home
again. When they are tired flying they
drop to the ground and crawl into some
snug hole where they lay lot Of eggs
Then they go to sleep for the winter,
md in the spring, when the eggs hatch,
he mother takes care of the young ones
till they i'm turn can. take care of her
It is by wandering queens that new
ant colonies are started.

modern methods make it still more
practica BILE than formerly, either in the
home or by community groups.
Three methods of drying have been
found by the department specialists to
give satisfactory results. These are
sun drying. drying by artificial heat
and drying with air blasts, as before
an electric fam Trays for drying by
any one of these methods, as well as
tray frames for use over stoves or be-
fore fans, can be made satisfactorily at
home. Frames and trays for use with
artificial heat may be purchased COM
plete if desired.
Homemade trays may be made OF
side and end boards three-fourths Of
an inch thick and two inches wide and
bottom boards of lathing spaced one
fourth of an inch. If desired one
fourth inch galvanized wire mesh may
be tackled to the side and end boards
to form the bottoms of the trays
Frames for use before fans may be
made of wood of convenient size.
Frames for use with artificial heat
should be made of nOninflammabl bic
material to as great an extent as pos
sible AS many as six trays may be
laced one above the other when arti-
fetal heat is used. In drying before
fan the number of trays that may be
placed one above the other will de-
PEND to a large extent upon the diam
eter of the fan. In drying in the sun
trays as described may be used. or the

In This Case Action Was Much More
Eloquent Than Words.
Judge Pollard of st. Louis, originator
of widely known probation system,
is the subject of story illustrating his
novel method of dealing with trouble
some cases. A driver had been brought
before Judge Pollard charged with cru
city to animals. He had been driving
a CALLED mule, but he had an expert
witness in a veterinarian, who testified
that the sore on the mules back did
not pain the animal in the least.
The Judge listened attentively to the
long technical opinion and then de-
manded to know the mules where
abouts He was informed that it was
harnessed to a wagon that stood in the
street in front of the courthouse.
The Judge then ordered that court be
adjourned for five minutes. He took
his cane and proceeded to the street,
went ND to the mule and with the end
of his cane gently touched the sore
spot on the animals back. The mule
promptly tried to kick the dashboard
off the wagon. Once again the judge
touched the sore spot with his cane,
and the mule responded as before.
Judge Pollard returned to the bench.
The prisoner was called before him.
with all due respect to the expert
testimony you have had introduced in
your behalf to show that the mules
back does not pain him, will fine you
$780," announced the judge. II asked
the mule if the sore hurt him, and he
said it .''-EXchange.

products to be dried may be spread on
sheets of paper or muslin held in place
by weights.
Vegetables and fruits will dry better
If sliced. They should be cut into
slices one-eighth to one-fourth Of an
inch thick. If thicker they may not
dry thoroughly. While drying the
products should be turned or stirred
from time to time. Dried products
should be packed temporarily for three
Of four days and poured each day
from one box to another to bring about
thorough mixing and so that the whole
mass will have a uniform degree of
moisture. If during this condition
ing any pieces of the products are
found to be toe moist they should be
returned to the trays and dried further.
When in condition the products may
be packed permanently in tight paper
bags, insect proof paper boxes or car
tons or glass or tin containers.
