MAYHEM the war broke out in Europe in August, 1914,
wv Robert NJ. LaFollette serving his second term
as senator from Wisconsin.
He had previously represented a Wisconsin district
for three terms in the house of representatives and has
served three terms governor of Wisconsin
During the early stages of the war; and while the
United States was a neutral, LaFolette took ag-
dorsed President Wilson's proclamation in favor of the
maintenance of that policy.
Later he differed sharply with the administration as
to the best of maintaining neutrality.
Right up to the declaration of war by the United
States LaFolette consistent in his contention that
congress be given the right to participate with the
president in determining American foreign policy

American people should be permitted to pass upon the
question of war or peace by referendum VOTE except

time adopt declaration of war.
President Wilson convened congress in extraordinary
session on April 2, 1917 He asked for declaration Of
war He summarized his position follows:
'Iad the plain principle of international law
announced by jefferson been followed by u.s.

The life Of Franz Schubert is
probably one Of the most interesting
biographies in the history of music,
He was the son Of a poor school
master and one Of nineteen children.
His family was unsteady inclined
and encouraged the early efforts Of
Franz. Schubert's music, probably
more than any other of the modern
composers, shows his character very
clearly. There was a decidedly ro-
mantle side to his nature, as shown
in the fact that he loved, to the point
Of idolatry, a young pupil Of his.
But, because Of his retiring nature,
never expressed his sentiments to
her. His writing was always very
impulsive. A story runs that a
friend once handed him the poem,
"Iark! Hark! the Lark" After hest
tating a moment he cried "I have
II! w nSreupOn, ne sat GOWN ana
played the beautiful melody which
now accompanies those words. One
Of the things that has helped to
make Schubert's music love is his
kind and loving nature, free from
every thought Of jealousy. Schu-
bert died at the early age of 81, soon
after he had directed the first public
concert of his magnificent "Unfin-
ished Symphony"

Nature

Scorpions, itch mites or tic KS, be-
long to the same class as spiders.
Ticks usually confine their opera
tons to quadrupeds, but sometimes
attack human beings, causing much
irritation. They are simply gigan-
tic mites with tough skins. Their
mouths are beaks furnished with
hooks. 1t is by these hooks that the
tick is able to anchor himself into
the flesh, where he proceeds to suck
the hosts blood. The male is small
and not often seen. The females
body. after feeding, becomes distend-
ed until she looks like a seed or bean.
When the southern cattle tick is full
grown she drops from her host to
the ground and lays a few eggs
2 1000 to 5000. These eggs hatch into
"seed-ticks." and, being lively, as
cend nearby weeds or bushes, where
they wait until some animal passes
near enough for them to catch hold.

Science

Nearly all insects have distinct
facial expressions. Seen under a
magnifying glass these expressions
are startling. Most Of them are
terrifying or frightful. but some
have expressions Of wisdom or
studiousness and some appear TO be
amiable and contented.
The tiger beetle is one Of the
most ferocious in appearance. 1t
has large staring eyes and man
dibles that look like huge teeth.
There are other insects that, like the
tiger beetle, are as ferocious as they
look but some that look the most
bloOdthirsty are quite harmless.
The Hercules beetle Is several
inches long, has immense claws and
a long horn and looks deadly. How
ever, its appearance is merely to
brighten other insects away, as it Is
entirely harmless.
The expressions probably are pro-
tectice measures that nature gives
insects. They have many other
qualities enabling them and even to
increase in the face of mans war
fare against them. The most i'm
portant gift Of all is the compound
eye that enables them to avoid
danger.
