Clay Townships War Activities
Described; Was Leader in Work

cess was due to the activities OF the
public schools working in cooperation
with the local chairman.
The various Liberty loans were con-
sidered fairly successful. The first
drive raised only $4,000, while the sec
ond raised slightly over $4,000. By the
time of the arrival Of the third loan
the various investors began to realize
the magnitude Of the war and the
great necessity of having plenty of
funds to carry on great offensive
against the enemy, so that the last
three loans were a success. The third
one netted nearly $4,000, the fourth
$4,000 and the Victory, $4,000.
$4,000 Soldier, Record.
All amounts invested and donated
during the war amounted to approx
mately $4,000 for each soldier who
saw service for the township.
Nearly every farmer in the COM
munity showed his loyalty to the
ccause by producing enormous crops
and finishing increased numbers Of
live stock at fixed but unfair prices,
as no just profits were allowed as in
other lines Of business. Labor was
scarce and wages high, but all met
the crisis by adding a few more hours
to the already long daily schedule.
The lessons learned during the war
have been of great benefit to the farm
err for he has seen the necessity of a
thorough organization, and. the same
is now in working condition and will
in a short time insure just wages
to the producers of foodstuffs and a
just price for the same to the con-
sumer. So the sacrifice the farmer
has made for the middle'man's gain
will not te entirely in vain

mands Of the war was the Red Cross
society. The township was organized
on Nov 10. 1917 and Immediately be-
gan to produce the articles most need
ed by the county organization.

ticles and in December, the drive for

FLEA EMBALMED IN HONEY
Little Insect Pest Found Which Met
Its Fate in Egypt Many Thou
sands of Years Ago.

1t is believed that the earliest food
store laid aside for his wants by man,
and which is still in existence, is jar
of honey found in an Egyptian tomb,
and probably placed there for the sus-
tenance of the dead during the jour
ney across the Stygian river, says the
American Forestry Magazine. When
found, the honey had changed into a
very dry candy and it had lost its
sweetness, though it could still be
identified as honey.
In the bottom of the Jar, we'll COW
cred with honey, was a dead flea of
precisely the same sort as those which
plague Egypt to this day. Apparently,
the insect had hoped into the jar
while the last rites over the dead were
being observed, and when the jar was
cOrked, the little fellow was shut up
within, and, like the true patriot, he
probably would have declared that
leath vas sweet. Anyway, he sank
to the bottom while the honey was
still soft, and there the psychologists
found MIN after a good many thou
sands of years.

Hired Chief Priestess

The old Greeks were deft enough
in their creation of gods and god
desses. but highly illogical In the
treatment their super-beings received.
One of the best examples of this was
the custom of hiring the Pythia. or
chief priestess of the temple Of ApOl-
10 at Delphi AT first beautiful young
virgins, secured from the families Of
peasants because of the belief that
such girls would be more pure in heart
than the wiser city sisters, were
placed in the position of chief
priestess.
Trouble arose when one Of them
fell victim 10 the charms of a young
chap from Thessaly, and after an ex-
tended love affair eloped with him.

Lord CheSterfield's letters to his

Pauls letters to the Romans-these
are literature because of their sage
advice. their splendid style and their
lofty admonitiOn. But every letter
ever written is literature In one sense
in the sense that it reveals life.
Little, throbbing bits Of life taken
from one living human being and sent
to another living human being-that's
what letters are. That is why they
are always interesting. That accounts
for the never-waning popularity of
the mail carrier. For as Douglas Jer-
rold said. there is "a stray volume of
real life in the daily packet Of the
postman; eternal love and instant
