MAKES A STUDY OF INSECTS
New York Entomologlst Doing EHso-
tive Work in His Laboratory
in the Adirondaeks.

Dr.. NJ. W. Blackman, entomolo-
glst for the New York State College
Of Forestry and director of the in
s%ectary at Cranberry lake, has made
important discoveries of several tree
devastating beetles that science new
er before described. He also bought
to light at his Adirondack laboratory
b~ark-eating insects heretofore unre-
corded in New York.
The insectary was established at
the summer camp at Cranberry lake
IN 1919 for cooperative investiga-
tion of yellow birch insects. The in
sectary is unique in its isolation in
the heart of the Adirondacks, where
forest insects can be studied under
natural conditions.
Two sides of the building and one
END are lnciosed with screens SO in
side atmospheric conditions will be
similar to those without. Insect
infested woods are placed in breed
ing cages and daily records kept,of
insects emerging. The pens are in
the open under natural atmospheric
and weather conditions. The detail
work is largely carried on inside the
building.

LAFAYETTE COUNTY
SCHOOLS.
Education Work In Lafayette
County Commended by State
Department of Educa-
ton.

The following letter has been re
eelved from the State Department o
Education, Jefferson City, Missour
which VIII be Of interest to our read
ers in Lafayette Count.
The letter:
Jefferson City, Mo, Dec. 8, 1921
TO THE PEOPLE OF LAFALETTT
COUNTY,
The inspectors of the state depart
ment of education found fifteen high
schools in Lafayette County. Thes,
schools belong to four different class.
es asfollows:
FIRST CLASS-Lexington, Hig.
ginsville, Concordia, Odessa, Well
ington, Corder.
SECOND D o.
yer, MAYHEM, Bates City.
THIRD CLAsS-Alma, Slusher.

UNcLASSIFIED-Page City. Ma
pOleon.
We are informed that LAFAYETTE
county has stood first in the average
production Of corr per acre for ten
successive years. Is it possible that
there rs a correspondence between the
production Of corn and the growth
Of education? Greater intelligence
certainly has a tendency to produce
better crops. But when unusual nro-
gress is made in the schools of a
county there is a reason for the
same. Earnest leaders are a great
stimulus to educational advancement
and we find Lafayette county fortu-
nate in this line in having an active
wide-awake, efficient county school
superintendent in the person of Ell
mer h White. He knows the peo-
pie, the teachers. the school boards
and the circumstances under which
all are working and striving for great
er success. Through his Kindness
and generosity the inspectors were
enabled to visit the schools with him
Throughout the county.
ANY visitor would be surprised IN
beholding the quality of the new
school buildings that are going up in
the rural sections. Some of them
have all the conyeniences and COM
forts of the best arranged modern
city schools. There are rural eonsol-
idation high schools in Lafayette
county whose external architecture
is most inviting and whose internal
plans meet the demands of the best
modern teacher. The arrangement Of
seats and light, of rooms and heat.
black-boards and water supply. of
drinking fountains and indoor tot
let's OF cloak rooms and library cas-

Then-that Monday morning in
Springfield at eight o'clock. on the
eleventh OF February, the train bore
him toward the great task Of his life.
Hannah Armstrong, who had foxed
his trousers In New Salem, and the
venerable Doctor Allen and the Brim-
steads, and Aleck Ferguson, bent with
age, and Harry Needles and BIN and
their four handsome children. and my
father and mother. and Betsey, my
maiden sister. and ELI Frendenberg
were there In the crowd to bid him
good-by.
A quartet sang. Mr.. Lincoln asked
his friends and neighbors TO pray for
his success. He was moved by the
sight OF them and could not have said
much II he had tried. The bell rang.
The train started lie waved his hand
and was gone. Not many OF us who
stood trying to see through our tears
were again TO look upon him. The
years of preparation were ended and
those Of sacrifice had begun.
Now. we are at the foot OF the last
hill. For q long time | had. seen II
looming in the distance. Those days
II filed my heart with q great fear.
| Now. how beautiful. how lonely IL
seems Oh, but what Q vineyard on
that very fruitful bill I speak low
when I think of It, Harry Needles
and I were on our way to Washington
that fateful night Of April IA, 1885.
We reached there at an early hour In
the morning. We made our way
through the crowded streets to the liz.
tie house opposite Ford's theater. An
officer who knew me cleared a way for
us to the door. Reporters, statesmen
citizens and their families were
massed In the street waiting with tear
stained faces for the end. Some OF
them were sobbing as we passed. We
were admitted without delay. A min
lister and the doctor sat by the bedside
The latter held an open watch In his
hand. I could hear 1t ticking the last
moments In an age Of history. What

the cabinet were in the room. Through
