4. 5. Moore, who is the new line
man for the Leslie Rural Telephone
company, is busy these days fixing up
the lines. He says that he finds the
lines in better condition than he had
supposed they would be. Practically
all of the trouble, he says, is instru-
ment trouble, and, while some of the
lines need little rebuilding, he finds
that service is restored quite often by
repair or readjustment of the phones
in the houses of the various wiring
connected with the phones on the pre-
misses. His big job is to get over the
system for the firnt time, as he has
numerous calls and much work to do,
but after he gets over the system
once he will be able to keep all the
lines in first-class repair so as to give
good service and do it without much
delay. without doubt the employing
of Mr.. Moore to be ineman was a
very good move on the part of the
Leslie company.-Long Prairie Lead

Fire that threatened the destruc-
ton of a large portion Of the business
section of Osakis at an early hour
Tuesday morning was confined to the
VIM. Baker corner store building by
the fire department. Damage to the
large double front frame building is
very heavy and the loss on mercan-
tile stock and fixtures is considerable.
The loss is fully covered by insurance
according to Mr.. Baker and the store
will remain closed until the adjusters
arrive.
Fire was discovered issuing from
the roof of the Baker building by
Miss Casper, matron at the Park
Region hospital, who gave the alarm
at about 1:3O a. m. A strong wind
was blowing from the Northwest and
when the firemen arrived the upper
portion of the frame structure was
mass of flames. Owing to frozen hy-
drants at the Lamphear corner, there
was some delay in getting water and
citizens formed brigades to put out
flying brands that fell on the roofs Of
near by buildings. 1t was nearly 8
o'clock before the fire was under con-
troll. It is thought the fire caught
from a defective chimney. Osakis

notify him Immediately upon receipt
of any foreign grown nursery stock.
This letter follows closely the. receipt
of information that nests of the
brown tail moths have been inter-
copied in shipments of nursery stocks
from Europe in five Atlantic states
during the last two months. European
inspection is lax this year, and rose
stocks and fruit seedlings imported
under permit are not given thor
ough inspection at ports of entry, ac-
cording to the state entomologist. In
some instances his office has not been
notified of consignments to Minneso-
ia until after the shipments have ar
rived at destination. AS there is big
danger, in the opinion of Mr.. Ruggles
of adding the brown tailed moth, a
pest of fruit, shade and forest trees,
to other insect pests in Minnesota, he
calls upon importers of foreign
grown nursery stock to notify him
Immediately so that all such ship
ments can be thoroughly inspected
by his department.

and potash was found in sufficient
quantities to meet immediate needs.
The most promising crops seem to
be flax as a first crop; then oats,
winter rye, and field peas.
The danger Of summer frosts, the
possible early exhaustion of potash,
and the good growth of grasses and
clovers point to the production OF
milk, beef, mutton and wool as the
most promising use to make such
peat soils.
But farmers are cautioned against
extensive operations and settlers
against occupying peat lands until
the reclamation problems involved
are fully worked out.

Washington.-F prices nave been
practically stationary from May, 1921,
according to the United States bureau

Although the price paid to farmers
has been battered down, these reduc-

report that the decrease in food prices
averaged II per cent throughout the
country This is but fraction over
112 cents for every dollar expended
for food.
Atlanta, with SO per cent; Jackson

with 3.5 per cent, lead in the decreases.

COLONEL "BUCC"
Boasts His Road is Non
Union

Washington. dispatches an
nounce that Col. Bugg, receiver for
the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic
railroad, assures the world that his
road is non-union and will not be af-
fected by any railroad strike.
The colonel failed to tell the public
how his road became non-union, and
thus enlighten the public on the law
defying methods of certain rail man
ayers.
The colonel was president of the
road and general wage decreases were
announced. The United States rail
road labor board ordered the road to
reinstate wages and present the mat
ter to the board, as provided by the
Cummins- -Esch law The colonel then
resigned as president and an oblging
trust company of Birmingham asked
Federal Judge Sibley to appoint re-
ceiver for the road. The court COM
piled and appointed Bugg, who then
told the railroad labor board to go
hence, as he was under orders of a
federal court.
The organized workers struck and
the road was manned by strikebreak-
ers.
That's the story of why the gallant
colonel has non-union road.

THE POLYERCINE
FAMILY OF ORGAN
lied SLAVERS"
Profiteering Claim Jumpers
Rustlers, Parasitic Can
nibals, Outlaws of
The Ant
BY S. B. Hedges

Combined activities of the ant fam
lily deserve more space than one or
two short articles permit of, and for
brevity's sake | take one type at a
time as there are two families of
slavers. The most degenerate one
best suits our purpose. If ruddy ants
are seen to be working beside shiny
black ones, quite likely the blacks are
slaves of the ruddy ones guarding
them and keeping the unfortunate
blacks from straying or lettering
along the way to or from the feeding
grounds. Ruddy soldiers everywhere
along the line keep off other predatory
ants, and keep the slave workers
busy. These ruddy warriors have lost
the art of doing anything menial for
themselves, except fighting, and in
this they are very proficient They
will take few blacks as decoys and
pack animals, and organize great raid
ing expeditions against the less belli-
cose colonies of blacks living near by.
Seize their cities, pilfer all stores Of
food, deporting workers as slaves. the
larva for an additional food supply.
The captured ants are the road
makers, engineers, architects, build
ers, nurses, herdsmen, gardners, pack
animals and haryesters; even feeding
their parasitic masters. But the un-
fortunate slaves are well housed, and
are fed from the community chest
when the foraging season is over The
most strenuous labor that befalls the
master ants young, is to keep the
ant army recruited to full strength.
and acting as overseers or guards
wherever amt activities are in evi-
dence. The black slave ants are just
as faithful in nursing the alien off
spring as they would be for their own
mother queens They become faith
ful, we'll ordered citizens in enforced
servitude to an alien race of lighter
color with profteering predatory hab
its And with no hope of being any
thing but slaves they serve as their
instinct impels them naturally and
willingly
So, should you happen to see a dou-
BILE black column of black ants fanked
by ruddy ones on either side, one an
outgoing, the other an incoming col

And if a soldier guard challenges al

legs and lock arms while she slobbers
