GOT NEW IDEA OF RELIGION
Colonel Roosevelt Admitted He Had
Taken to Heart the Simple Faith
Of the Douohboy.

Colonel Roosevelt was a deeply re-
lgious man, and one evening at Oyster
Bay he said to an editor:
How this world war has clarified
our ideasl 1t has clarified my own
ideas about religion.
Before the war l was inclined to-
agree with the philosopher who said
Religion Is the experience consti-
tuted by those thoughts, feelings and
actions which spring from mans sense
Of dependence upon power or powers.
controlling the universe and which
have as their center of interest the
cosmic fortune of values
But how different is the definition Of
religion that the doughboy has flung
us from the trenches, and how heartily
is our agreement when he says:
Religion is betting your life on
the existence Of Cod"

The two broods due this year are brood TO-

which belongs to the 13-vear family.
Brood 10 has the widest distribution of any

north central Wisconsin and far south as
middle Georgia, with some isolated colonies far

within this range. There three regions Of

Two tears rolled down her cheeks

biting her lip tearfully. "You don't

1t was more than his tender, low

And while she took out her powder

he turned his back and looked into the

one would know he was with her.

commonly referred to as the "17year locust" a
name that is incorrect In at least two particulars.
1t Is not a locust Mt oil, that name being properly
applied only to members Of the grasshopper family
and while It has 17-year period, 1t also has 49,
year period. 1t has been SO long mlscalled by the
name of locust however. that there is no hope Of
dlvesting 1t OF that incorrect appellation, and In
the regions where there Is the longer period Of
recurrence 1t will continue to be known the III
