County Clerk J. A. Hutto desires to call to the attention of dealers ln gasoline another feature of the much discussed gasoline tax law which is being overlooked by dealers in that commodity.

Near the close of the session of
the state Legislature, bill was in

THINKERS LOT ONE OF Joy
5ut iIe tIas to Travel Long and
Weary and Rough Road to
Attain It,

Your education begins when what IS
called your education is over-when
you no longer are stringing together
the pregnant thoughts, the 'jewels
words-long' which great men have
given their lives to cut from the raw
material, but have begun yourself to
work upon the raw material for re-
suits which you do not see, cannot
predict, and which may be long in
coming-wlien You take the fact which
life offers you for your appointed
task.
No man has earned the right to In
telectua ambition until he has learned
to lay his course by star which he
has never seen-to dig by the divin-
ing rod for springs which he may
never reach. In saying this, l point
TO that which will make your study
heroic For say to you in all sad
ness of conviction that 10 think great
thoughts you must be heroes as well
as idealists.
Only when you have worked alone
when you have felt around you a
Black gulf of solitude more isolating
than that which surrounds the dying
man. and in hope and in despair have
trusted to your own mistaken will
then only will you have achieved.
Thus only can you gain the secret
isolated joy of the thinker, who
knows that, hundred years after
she is dead and forgotten, men who
never heard Of him will be moving
to the measure of his thought-the
subtle rapture of postponed power,
which the world knows not because
it has no external trappings, but
| which TO his prophetic vision is more
real than that which commands an
army.
And if this joy should not be yours
still it is only thus that you can
know that you have done what II
lay in you to do-can say that you
have lived, and be ready for the ena.

HOW

SCIENCE HAS OVERCOME
DREADED POTATO BUG
The Potato Magazine calls at
tention to the fact that certain
regions of the upper peninsula
of Michigan have been vir ually
freed of that notorious pest. the
potato bug, by the operations of
tiny parasitic lily which lays
its eggs upon the striped beetle.
Grubs Matched from these eggs
bore into he potato bugs body
and eat out his inside works.
If it were not for parasites
that prey upon the potato bug.
it would scarce be possible to
grow any potatoes in this coun-
try. despite all ,he farmer could
do to poison the insect with
paris green.
That destructive beetle was
originally native to mountain
districts OF Colorado. where 1t
plant called the sand bur-" 1t
is supposed to have been car
ried into Missouri by the cattle
traffic. and in 1864 it crossed the
Mississippi river. In the early
seventies it had crossed the De-
troit river and Lake Erie was
literally alive with potato bugs.
passengers on ships or whatever
else would keep them afloat.
They reached the Atlantic coast
in 1878, and the beaches were
soon swarming with them. Yes
sells were boarded by them in
such numbers that matches had
to be battened down.
AT that period and for some
time afterward much alarm was
felt lest the potato would be-
come an extinct vegetable i'll The
United States. But nature has
way of dealing with such mis-
chiefs, and before long para
site enemies of the beetle null
tiplied in such numbers as to
make possible it's control.
The above mentioned fly,
which has done such good work
in Michigan, will be colonized in
other pars S of the country. and
may solve the potate bug prob
lem for good and all.-Philadel-
