A geological garden for insects only
and occupying forty-one acres, will
furnish national object lesson.
1t will show the good done by some
insects, the farm done by others
Without insects, for instance, there
would be no blackberries.
Without humble bees, as the Austral
ians discovered, with amazement, you
cannot have clover for your sheep. 1t
would be easy to destroy all the in
sects in an orchard, but if you did
that you would ruin the fruit crop,
With insects, as with other animals,
the dangerous kinds are in a minority,
But the dangerous ones are very dan
gerous.
The insect geological garden is much
more important to human beings now
than the old fashioned kind. Mans
dangerous enemies are no longer the
wolves, lions, catamounts and snakes.
Where wolves at their worst might
kill 500 people in a year, one little
demon of a microscopic life, the colon
bacillus, carrying with it Asiatic hol-
era, will destroy millions of lives.
German scientists, fighting cOntag,
ious diseases, adopt this motto:
DON'T let your children be kissed by
strangers
A better motto would be:
Don't let your children be kissed by
ANYBODY"

Village Board Decides
To Start Paving Streets
EXTENSIVE STREET IMPROVE
MENT PROGRAM NOW UNDER
WAY-NEW SIDEWALKS

At a meeting of the Village Board,
Monday evening, it was definitely de-
cided to start a program of street inn
provement at once. 1t had previously
been the intention to grade and gravel
ten or twelve blocks on Pine, Division
Spruce. Main and First streets, and
the grading is now finished Last
week, property owners on Railroad
the paving project talked of last year,
extending three blocks from the COR
ner of Railroad and Division streets
to the corner of Wall and First streets
As state Highways 26 and 80 run thru
these streets, part of the expense will
be paid by the county and in fact
money for that purpose was appro
priated last year Bids will be asked
for on building the three blocks of
reinforced concrete and work will be
started as soon as possible afte~ the
bids ere in. A great deal of excellent
road material will necessarily have to
be removed from the blocks to be
paved and can be used advantageously
as the gravei covering for the other
streets to re. improved this year. 1t
will be he most extensive street i'm
provement that has ever been done in
Eagle River, and there are but few
places Of its size more in need of it,
There has been considerable rev &C.
ment sidewalk laid this wear with
some more to et.one and with the.
main streets rut in good scacd,''oI
for traffic Eagle River will present
an entirely new appearance. and will
be strong inducement for more good
streets within short time.

The first heavy weight musky of the

G. A. Pritchard, of Fortville, Ind, a
guest at the Crystal Springs resort.
That day he went to Lac Vieux Desert

Grove resort started out to fish for
pike In a very short time he had

something much larger and after some
work was landed in the boat and

his fiscal year. !le introduced Louis
L Emerson, Sec etary of Stat,s Of Ill
| inois, who being a natural orator
gave many hearty laugh with his
witty remarks and his address includ-

! with deep feeling of the progress
made by it and gave much of the
| credit for it to Mr.. Galpin, the presi.
| dent, in the interest he had always
manifested in the welfare of the ub
and the surrounding country. He
pointed out that at Mr.. Galpin's table
were twenty four guests, all of them,
| local business men and their Wives,
and that it proved that he had butt
more than the club house aEGs is
home. that of a staunch friendship
among his neighbors. He said, Know
ing that Mr. Galpin is good politi-
clan in Cook county, holding the chair
manship of the Republican party for
the past nine years, that he rather
suspected that he was getting ready
| to be the next mayor of Phelps, and
| for that reason he was going to pre-

SO that he could throw it in the ring
He said that in case he did SO that
he feared no opponent and that he

even stronger with the voters.

COUNTING TaGeS


ONE hundred years ago Henry Clay
" arose in the United States senate and
made Il few remarks on the tariff and on
the general subject of governmental eX-
penseS.
In the course of his remarks he pointed
with alarm to the fact that this country
was costing Si,500,000 n year to run, and
that this was too heavy a burden on It's
100000 people.
The cost of conducting the municipal
government of the city of Los Angeles
last year was something more than
S25 900. and it will hardly be con-
tended by the most ardent upholder of the
eity's greatness that it contains 10000
600 people.
II is not probable that Los Angeles costs
more per capita to govern than any other
American city 1t is nationwide disease,
this reckless heapng up of the tax burden
in every nook and corner of the land. but
il is worth consideration that il costs more
than five times us much to govern Los
Angeles today as it did TO govern the
entire nation 100 years ago.
One hundred years ago il cost $2.25 per
capita to conduct the federal government;
no man can even guess what il costs per
capita today to conduct our government,
but it is nearer 500 per capita than it
is S2.25.
