In nest building?
2. How do humble bees spend the
winter?

Answers to Previous Questions.
/. Can squirrels eat the fruit Of
the poison-ivy without i'll effect?
The red squirrel is much more of
a hustler" than is the gray, and will
make shift to live where the latter
will starve. The red squirrel abides.
while the gray seems to go and
come with the seasons OF scarcity or
OF plenty. Yet have seen the gray.
eating the fruit OF the poison-iyy
and apparently relishing 1t.
2. Do birds Of prey carry their
game in their beaks?
A schoolgirl wrote mo one day that
she had seen hawk carrying q
snake In it's beak. Now, II she had.
had trained eye, she would have
seen that the hawk carried the snake
In its talons. One OF our. recent na-s
ture writer's has made the same mis-
take in his book. Birds of prey All
carry their game in their talons; 9th
err birds carry 1t In their beaks.
8. How must man copy the anil
mails to learn to swim?
Not until he has learned to resign
himself to the water al the animal
does, and to go on all fours, can man
swim. AS soon as the boy ceases to
struggle against his tendency to
sink, assumes the horizontal position,
and strikes out as the animal does.
with but one thought, and that to
apply his powers OF 1ocomotion to
the medium about him, he swims ~

M0PPlNG IT UP.

Charley" Witt was a Harding Sc
lection. He was to- be the left hand Of
Harding as secretary to the governor.
He was.
George Messenger, taken from a
private ''bank" was Harding Sc
lection for superintendent OF bank
ing. He seems to have been typical.
Up in Ida county Rathbup's at
torney twho old man Rathbun said
told him that the $4,000 alleged to
have been given that attorney by
Rathbun was for the governor) and
other persons mixed up in the secur-
ing of the Rathhun pardon were
friends Of Harding" and some Of
fund.
The salingers connected with the
Midland packing house scandal were
intimate political friends, advisers
and henchmen Of Harding.
Old Jim Pierce, who didn't get the
state printing after oil, ragged and
snorted and roared for Harding. It is
fairly certain that Pierce nor any of
Pierce's hirelings was in on the pro-
fits of the latest scandals for Pierce
ie now exposing Harding and as
suring the farmers that he Is the
only blown in the bottle guardian of
their interests and the sanctity Of
the statehouse.
It is Harding or whom the oil stock
promoter writes to his prospects"
that while the governor is now only
director he's to be president of
that company when his term Of office
as governor has expired and suggests
that the fact of this promotion con-
nection be given the soft pedal and
upon whose stationery as one Of the
directors appears the title following
Harding's name governor Of Iowa"
Like master like man, like candi-
date like appointees. like governor
like administration.
But what has Harding and Charley
Witt and George Messenger to do
with Nate Kendall, the antithesis
politically and personally OF Harding
and his appointees?
What have they to do with Glenn
Haynes, fighting man OF the 16sth.
capable and clean with the indorse-
ment OF all who know him?
What have they to do with Albert
B. Cummins whose life and record
public and private is clean as as
hounds tooth and whose ability and
wisdom have made him one of the
most trusted members OF the U. 8.
senate?
The republicans made a serious
mistake when Harding was elected
governor. In that they were assisted
by thousands OF democrats who cast
bungstarter vote in republican
primaries for Harding: Many republi-
cans tried to prevent this election by
bolting their party ticket but they
were outnumbered by the bung-
starter democrats. 1t was In the
revulsion from the previous mistake
that the the republicans sought out
and nominated the strongest and
cleanest state ticket that has been
nominated In years by either party.
They started to clean house in the
primary and finished in convention
And they may be trusted to put the
statehouse into complete sanitation
before they get thru.

Four Rivers, May /, 5000 B. c.
Mr.. Adam Adams and his wife, Mrs.
Eva Adams, were evicted today from
the Eden apartments in the fashion
able residence district. The cause OF
action is given as mutilation Of the
premises, the specific charge being
made that a fruit tree in the back
yard was tempered with.
Mr.. Adams, when seen today de-
MED these charges. tho he admitted
tina Mrs. Adams may have picked
one or two apples from the tree.
This, however, he says was done on
the advice of Mrs. Adams lawyer,
who explained to her that this priv
ilege was included in the terms OF
the lease. Mr.. Adams insists that
the real cause Of the dispute is the
refusal of the Eden apartments
management to permit children on
the premises.
Mr.. Adams states further that at
no time during his tenancy did the
management furnish him with either
hot water or janitor service. He
feels that his custer should be given
the fullest publicity in order that the
public at large and generations to
come may realize what present rent
ing conditions are In this vicinity
and what respectable tenants are
obliged to put up with. ka

Charming Dancing Frocks.

A number Of charming dancing
dresses have the entire skirt made of
petals of roses, dark brown or black,
on self-tone tulle foundations. The
result is dress made of petals, but
in no way looking like flower dress.
1t gives more the effect of ruffied
skirt than of anything else and is Won
derfully attractive. Similar effects are
worked out In dresses OF pink metal
gauze. The bodices topping these pet
aled skirts are extremely plain, some
times entirely devoid of trimming The
fluffy appearance Of such costumes IS
made even more pronounced by volu-
minous scarfs Of tulle. These scarfs
are also worn with the more sedate
type of evening dress and frequently
the colors are In striking contrast to
the dress. For Instance, scarf OF
brilliant blue may accompany dress
| of rose color.

by mud-patChes and reeds from the
water-hole, which was spring of sui
phitic oo2e In the center of the village.
Dust had wiped out every color.
Sand flew in the air, but the wind was
steady and silent. The seven women
who emerged from their dwellings TO
look upon Lexington, were wasted of
body and blank of face. 1t was dis
tressing 10 remember that once, about
eighteen years ago, Andrew March
had Travelled into this border-land with
his Eithna, and that in some such I'M
holy quarters off to the southwest her
child had been born. These Mongoloid
youngsters did not seem human.
They stared at him without uttering
a sound, and flung mud. Con felt no
triumph In his arrival.
No traveller had passed this way for
sixteen moons. Lexington spent the
afternoon In learning this fag-end of
information. The last had gone the
other way, eastward, probably Chez
Ming on his way TO America, but by
no possible combination of sound and
sign could Con make sure of this.
Eagerly, now, he opened the envelop
given him in the March house. He
never knew how much pure fiber he
had gained by his difficult honesty In
this matter. The document was:
"You have passed all the places In
which the truth might have burdened
you, and, as the prime uncertainties
are just ahead. you will burn this as
soon as you have read.
"You share q federal commission
with me, and our country does not

1t was impossible to guess what
Chez Ming thought. If he had been
holding any suspicion against the
white man who had ridden with him
from the Yang-gun gate, it was now
insured by March's hand-clasp with
Lexington.
"Tve been waiting for our friend
Ming, but I hardly expected to see
you" said Con.

smiling. "But why waiting?"
"He was on the ship coming over"
said Con. "He put me under with q
blow-needle, and got my map. beat
him this far by two days, just to have
a talk with him about It,"
"Ah, yes" said March.
"Or I figured might ride on with
him." added Lexington.
"That was all right. But you will
not need the map, and we can allow
him to go his way alone. / did not
expect to pick you up so soon." There
was a shadow over Lexington, and the
elder man felt 1t quickly. He hasten
ed to add: Nothing wrong boy. Only
I could not tell you that should be
just few days behind you all the way
1t was planned. 1t would be just plain
murder to send one man alone, out
into--that. But We wanted you &c

Navy blue dotted with white never
grows tiresome and is never out of

women approve along with all-white in
summer frocks. Navy blue with emer-
aid dots or with red dots, always Is
sure of recognition and all these COM
binations appear among cotton and
silk goods, with each returning spring.
The dots are either printed or en-
broidered, the latter chosen where the
higher cost IS not considered. This
spring finds all combinations in dis
plays of the best shops-organdy with
embroidered dots appearing so far to
be the favorite
Navy blue with white dots, in Or

the very simple and equally refreshing
dress shown in the picture. There is
nothing to tell Of 1t that may not be
