A RESURRECTION
Gertrude May Forge.

A Bluish-Green caterpillar spun,
one October afternoon, a silksn CO.
coon upon a willow tree. There 1t
hung all winter long, looking to the
unobservant like a shriveled brown
leaf.
The frosts of winter came, the icy
winds blow and the snow drifted on
and around the willow. but the leaf
like home was not disturbed.
Spring at last had forced Winter
to relax its hold on the meadow-land,
where the brook now dubbed and
gurgled over its pebbly bed, all tu-
multuous and joyous with awakened
life. Catkins hung in tasseled dam
tiness on every branch of the border
ing willows, and the alder bushes
we're beginning to put forth tiny
leaves.
It brought also message to the
"shriveled brown leaf.Y From one
end of the cocoon, head with two
feathered antennae pushed out fol-
lowed by the large, velvety body
striped with red, brown and white.
1t looked all body, for at the sides
were folded the moist and crinkled
wings. Its strong, hairy legs anx-
iously sought a firm footing, and
then. with a constant fluttering
movement, those insignificant look
ind wings slowly expanded and dried
until they measured five inches from
tip to tip. Gorgeous white. brown,
black and red markings were reveal
ed which harmonized with its body
colors. The Cecropia moth was rea-
DIV for flight--a creature OF exquisite
grace and rare coloring.
From the repulsive, crawling
caterpillar stage of the year before,
the same life, transformed and beau
tiful, had emerged from its appar-
ent death in the cocoon to fuller,
richer life of activity.
Thus at each joyous Easter season
an animation of the resurrection
comes to us from Gods wonderful in
sect world; breathing a message OF
hope and joy and infinite peace to
all mankind.
"And with childhood's credulous af-
lection
We behold those tender wings ex-
pand,
Emblems of our own great resource
ton,
Emblems of the bright and better
land"

Largest Cholera Quarantine In His
tory Placed in Texas.

The most extensive quarantine OF
territory because of the presence OF
hog cholera was recently establish
ed by the Live Stock Sanitary Com
mission of Texas, 2 counties in the
southeastern part of the state be-
ing put under the ban. Before the
quarantine was put on, herds in the
region. which is open-range country,
were inspected by veterinarians OF
the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture in cooperation with the
State authorities.
Stocker hogs shipped from the
region now closed have caused Sc
rious outbreaks of the disease, and
the quarantine was thought to be the
most practical means to prevent fur-
ther spread. The ruling of the COM
mission. however, permits shipments
under certain conditions. For In
stance, hogs may be shipped to GER
tain approved establishments for i'm
mediate slaughter, but the cars IN
which they are shipped must be label
ed "cholera-exposed hogs" and must
be thoroughly disinfected before US
ed again.
Hogs intended for feeding, stock
err or breeding purposes can not be
shipped until they have been proper
" immunized by an authorized vet
erinarian. and railroads can not ac-
cept such hogs for shipment until
they have received a certificate from
the veterinarian giving the treatment.
All wagons or trucks used in haul
ing hogs to and from the railroad
must be disinfecSd accordingto regu-
lations. Such hogs must be quaran-
tined on the buyers premises Tor 81
days.

Vision Of Future TO BE Built on
Lincoln, Highway.-

plans have been received by the
Bureau Of Public Roads, United
states Department of Agriculture, for
the Ideal Section" of road to be
constructed on the Lincoln Highway
i'm Lake County, Ind, during the
coming summer. The designers of
this road intend to produce in It
their vision Of what the main high
ways OF the country must be in the
future. The plans submitted by the
state Highway Department of In
diana show that the section will be
nearly 1 ga miles in length and
will be placed in the middle of a 100
foot right of way. The roadway is to
be 40 feet wide and provision is made
for the use of concrete, bituminous
! concrete, or brick sections with B.
foot gravel shoulders on each side.
Each type of surface is to be OF a
thickness calculated to. withstand
heavy traffic. Night travel will be
made safe by electric lights 35 feet
Sabove the roadway and at suitable
Intervals on one side of the road. All
electric wires will be underground.
For pedestrians 5-foot gravel
sidewalk will be placed in one Of
the 25-foot strips of parking which
are to be on each side of the road,
and the parking will receive effective
landscape treatment. II is not
thought that present traffic justifies
the width of roadway to be built, but
rather 1t is intended as an object les
son for the future. and the traffic
studies to be made on 1t will be valu-
able in settling many questions as to
the relation of traffic density to road
width. the best methods of traffic
regulation. and other problems that
are becoming more important each
wear. Federal aid will be granted on
this highway at the rate of $4,000
"a mile.

Active steps to obtain legislation
