THE BIG WASP NEST

A giant wasp nest. said to be one
of the largest ever found. was re-
Gently discovered at Cranbrook
British Columbia. 1t was 20 inches
long and its top was IL inches wide.
Now what a KICK the boys of Della
ware would have enjoyed if such a
nest of wasps or hornets was discOv-
cred TO stir their combatiVe in
stinCts!
Attacking such nests has been one
of the joys of country life. The boys
never felt happier than when ram
ming fishpoles through them, or
heaving rocks at those humming
hives, after which the infuriated in
sects pursued them with buzzing
wings. Many of the boys had swollen
faces the next day, but them was
the happy days" The boy who dared
the wasp sting might become a man
who never quailed before the stings
of later life.

Veterans Of the spanlsh-American
War and their friends recently OBJ

sinking Of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor a disaster in which
266 officers and men lost their lives.
The older people recall the wild cry
OF Indignation that swept the coun-
try in those days. and how that event
was probably the principal cause
leading the United States to fight the
war with Spain.
The country looks back with graf
itude to the noble and patriotic army
that offered their lives in that con-
fict If a similar event were 10 han
pen today. the nation might choose a
different course of action. Wars may
succeed in furnishing guilty parties,

WARS STEAM ROLLER

A terrible picture of the crushing
power of war is being given in brave
but unhappy little Finland, which
has made such glorious resistance
to the terrible steam roller of war
operated by the Russian government.
That a little nation of 100000 peo-
pie should be able to stand up three
months against one of 16S,OO0. 900 will
go down in history as a miracle of
human courage and achievement.
Will that awful steam roller go
on crushing out human hearts and
lives, and the freedom of people
who claim only the right to deter
mine their own form of government?
If it is so, the world will bitterly
regret the loss When a nation that
has set free the lives and minds of
men and has offered them culture.
progress, and hope. is subjugated and
conquered, many of the gains ac-
complished by the human race in
centuries of struggle are wiped out
Human liberty has a way of burst

HOME PLACE ONCE OVER

AS winter fades into spring, it is
the time to give your home place
the careful looking over II is the
ordinary tendency to become so used
to home defects that we do not see
them as a stranger would. The visit
or would note the shabby paint or
the rickety fence, but the owner OF
the place may get so used 10 those
things that he fails to think about
them.
II does not pay to let those con-
ditions slip along year after year.
They keep growing worse, until the
general effect is one of dilapidation
and encouragement If there are
many such places on a street, peo-
pie are likely to say il is a run down
neighborhood. and if people want TO
sell such property it is hard TO get
a good price for it, Some improve
ment work should be done each year,
so that homes will be going ahead
instead of dropping backward.
