"To my Fellow Citizens:
Il have been petitioned to become a

First: To again establish a re-

Raise Fine Specimens
of Butterfly in France

Butterfly culture in the south OF
France is rapidly growing in popular
ity. Here, under expert scientific
guidance, hundreds of beautiful speci-
mems are bred. The farms are provid-
ed with special leafy trees and plants
on which the eggs are Matched. Di-
rectly the young appear the branches
are taken to a well-ventilated room,
where they are placed in jars of water.
AS soon as the caterpillars have eaten
up this first supply of leaves fresh
branches are provided. Having been
in an even temperature for about two
weeks, the young caterpillars are taken
out into the open, where they are
placed on plants protected from birds
by nets. When fully grown this pro-
tective net is removed and soon they
retire into cocoons or roll themselves
up into leaves. These are collected and
stored In boxes, where in a very short
time butterflies of wonderful hues are
evolved. Cross-breeding has been tried
and numerous experiments are coli
Quoted to obtain brilliant and original
markings on the wings of these insects,
which are afterward sold to collectors
or for the adornment of WOmen's hats

Big Lips for Beauty
Is Idea of Africans

The women of the Lake Tchad re-
gion of Central Africa vie with one
another as to who can possess the
longest lips.
When girls are about four or FIVE
years old their future husbands pierce
a hole in the center Of the upper and
lower lips with a big thorn or a knife.
Through these holes he places thick
straws or reeds.
In a few weeks, when the girl has
become used to the punctures, wooden
pegs the size of a lead pencil are
pushed into the holes, says London
Tit-Bits. Three months later, when
the lips have become accustomed to
the distension, larger pegs are insert
ed. AT twenty-five a fashionable ma
iron of the Saras-Djinges tribe is like
ly to have disks seven inches wide in
the lower lip and five inches wide in
the upper. Up to this time the disks
stick straight out like birds bills, but
now they drop down from their
weight.
After this larger disks are inserted
about once a year. 1t is a matter of
social pride with a woman to go on
increasing her lips as long as pos
sible.

Women Surely Haze Keen
Sense of Money Values

If the average woman were without
a sense of money values, as charged
by a budget expert, the average Amer
lean family would have less money in
the bank than it has. Eliminating the
girl who lives at home and can spend
her earnings for pretty things, and
whose extravaganza is n OF the
manifestations of her youth, it would
have been fairer to say the average
housewife of America has a very keen
appreciation of the value of money
and how hard 1t is for the husband 10
earn 1t. 1t Is probably quite true that
women do not budget their expenses;
neither did the great United States
government until a few years ago. Ii
the budget expert would go into the
stores patronized by the wives of wage
earners and note with what care and
anxiety the customers spend their
money and how anxious they are 10
get full value, she might revise her
Judgment a bit. With due respect to
the photographers, the women are
shrewd buyers. The hardly saved dol
lars which bulk so large in savings
fund reports and bank deposits are
where they are because the women OF
the country have put them there, often
against the will of their husbands.
The average man is a much swifter
spender thar a woman, and despite
the jokes of the photographers and
comic artists, all women do not throw
away money on innumerable hats and
gowns. The budget expert did less
than Justice to her own sex when she
criticized their financial acumen.-

Fable of The -Four Men

IurIIInIiIIT

upon a time, it was customary for the
papers, principally for partisan rea-
sons to print all the b~alderdash utter
ed by the candidates. Nowadays, the
publicity men protest against the re-
fusal of editors, who, it is said, are
more independent in their political
ideas, to allot unlimited space to
their candidates pronouncements. 1t
is easy to distribute propaganda, but
another matter to have it printed.
Study of the position taken by the av-
erage editor, as reported to cam
paign headquarters here, indicates
that the principal objection is to re-
publication of candidates speeches
under different date lines. In other
words, the editors say that they want
election news as news matter and not
a re-hash of the speakers former adj
dresses. New ideas and not repet-
ition is the guide to space.
1t is always difficult to measure
the influence of prosperity and hard
times upon the electorate. Yet, the
politicians here, judging from their
statements could easily explain
their interest in the words of Carlyle
''the purse is the master-organ, SOULS
seat and pineal gland of the body So
cial." Everywhere an attempt is
made to keep the question of relat-
i've prosperity in the limelight Of dis
cussion-for political effect. Power
ty often has a cramping effect on a
votr's mind though it is equally true
that prosperity and plenty carries
with it a certain languor which makes
men more Indifferent to current af-
fairs. There is little if any consis-
tency in the struggle for high places
in government.
Recently effort has been made to
trace the migration from farm to cit
les and estimate its influence on par
ty government. According to figures
compiled by the Department of Ag-
riculture approximately 100000
persons left the rural districts for
the city, owing to agricultural de-
preston. Undoubtedly, some of
these men and women drifted back
for the statistics were tabulated in
1922. The story given out that this
movement is not as significant as it
appears at first glance for a large
number of the changes are noted in
the South where the rural vote sell

Turf Natural Filter

Frances experiments with natural
turf have shown that it is an excel
lent material from which TO form beds
for the iltering Of sewage. A volume
of between three and four cubic
meters of sewage can be purified
every day for every square meter OF
the surface of the turf. An expert
mental turf filter that has been In use
for more than sever months shows
diminution Of efficiency. If a larger
proportion Of sewage than that men
toned is employed the filter proves
less effective, but it RECEIVERS its pow
err when the amount Of sewage Is re-
duced to the proper proportion. Chem
ical analysis and the effects upon fish
put into the filtered water unite In tes-
tifying to the efficiency of the process.

National Editorial Association Spec
ial to the Herald

Washington, Sept. 9-Lately. il
has been noted that political leaders
are more disposed to take heed of or
binary economic factors in the con-
duct of their campaigns for the Pres
idency and legislative offices. Recog-
milton is given to the fact that votes
depend largely upon the temper of
the public and the welfare of the
country as a whole becomes more I'M
portant to the campaigners. Reports
received here, while obviously at var
lance, depending on their source, in
dictate that plausible promises of leg
i~slative relief must be supported by
ironclad guarantees of the respective
parties. The days when voters had
implicit faith in the ability of their
party to perform properly have grad
uaIly disappeared until legislators
must deliver the goods or fall in the
elections. 1t has been observed that
the era of Misunderstanding, "baby-kiss-
ing" and glib talk has passed, for the
extension of communication through
newspapers and radio has brought the
constituents in close contact with
their representatives at the national
capital and the state legislature.
Seasoned campaigners say that
straw votes conducted in various To-
calities are not signs as to how the
wind blows for the candidates. 1t is
argued that the real, conscientious
voters, whose decision count in the
end prefer to express their feelings
at the ballot box exclusively.
1t seems that the controversy as
- rybo+ o,a tho icc11ac of thp OrpSQnt
hectic struggle for political suprem-
acy gains little Roadway with the
public . There is no secret made OF
the concern manifested over the ap-
parent failure of the publicity cam
paigns. 1t was expected that in re-
sorting to the radio,as the latest and
most popular medium of communlca-
ton, that the public would be attent-
tive for experimental reasons if not
from choice. The radio fans display
ed disconcerting Indifference. In

from the air are almost in the class

stuff.

Circles Around Moon

Circles around the moo are caused
by moisture in the atmosphere. II
frequently happens that the sunlight
reflected from the moon to the earth
is so refracted by the atmospheric
moisture that a ring or circle is
formed. The more moisture there is
in the atmosphere the smaller the
circle will appear. The form and size
of the ring will depend entirely upon
the particular condition and quantity
of moisture in the air.

World Shortage

According to all information that
can be secured, there is a world short
age of sheep and wool and is likely
to be one for some little time. This
is the one diversified crop that looks
like it will not be overexpanded in
the next seven or eight years.
While sheep are a good price now,
by getting a few head of ewes and
taking good care of them, it will on
ly be a short time until a good sized
herd is the result. Roosevelt county
farmers are losing each year, thou
sands of dollars by waste feed that
could be converted into cash by rails

Have Place On Farm
Sheep have a place on practically
all middle western farms whose Land
value is much greater than ours here.
IT is true that a certain amount OF
fencing is necessary for properly
handling sheep but they will pay for
this fencing in a short time. One OF
the big values of sheep on a farm IS
the fact that they eat waste, convert
# into cash and return fertility to the
soil. 375 head of sheep will furnish
one ton of manure fertilizer on land
per day and will restore worn out
land.
Roosevelt county with one-eighth
as many sheep as Silver Bow county,
is third from the bottom of the list
on the sheep census of the state. The
