Misnamed Crustacean.

Everyone has seen the curious, little flat gray creatures that scufTy out of sight when you lift a decayed log or a moss-covered, stone in the woods or near the water. They are th? Armadlllldia, or Isopods of tlft* genus Oniscoideaj commonly called the armadillo, sow bug and pill bug. They are really not bugs at all, but. crustaceans or distant relatives of the crab, with gills provided with air tubes not unlike the air tubes through which insects breathe all over their body. A favorite food of frogs, toads and salamanders, the pill bug Itself subsists largely on decaying vegetable matter, and some’believe it to be a useful ger. According to the Zoological SoctetytruttetlHrWßliHme armadillo was given it because of its habit when dis.tarbed df Tolllng ltself UP into a ball, as the mammal of South America does; but the crustacean is shrewder than the mammal, for, whereas the armadillo never uncoils, when it is caught or frightened,—and therefore its shell often serves as its own roasting pan in the ovens of equatorial itself up once or twice and discovering that it is still in the presence of danger, will give up the useless stratagem and try to make off unnoticed. — Youth’s Companion.

Our Thriftless Nation.

Self-denial is a fundamental virtue, especially for all who have their own way to make in the world; happiness for the great majority of people depends on the wholesome restraint of desires rather than on their gratification, because, when unchecked, those desires are forever stretching. Out beyond present reach. It seems strange that, especially In our country, people shrink from spying, “I can’t afford it,” when economy means safety and contentment, whereas false pride brings danger and unhappiness. Fear of being thought poor or stingy has brought misery, and often crime, into‘many a household. The average wages, salaries and incomes are higher in this country than in any other, yet our savings banks do not inake a creditable showing. Fourteen countries greatly outrank ours in the proportion of savings accounts to population. In thrift, as indicated by the savings banks, we stand at the bottom of the list of the principal nations. —Judge Harmon in Youth’s Companion.

Precious Time.

“Time Is precious.” We use the assertion at every turn of the day, but we neglect to add the inquiry which would straighten out many a tangle, and save much of the rush and worry and. many mistakes. Time 4s so precious that we all need to learn the wisdom of putting first things first, and discriminating between the Important and nonimportant. There is not room for everything, but there Is always room for the duty that really belongs to us—there Is room for it, or it is not ours. It is well said that “a life may be fairly Judged by what it allows to be crowded out of It.” Did you ever try your life by that test?

Heads—She Lost.

The room was full of little girls In pink slips and pigtails. They sat in rows at wooden desks, as quiet as mice. Over them presided a sweetfaced damsel, stern withal. The lesson concerned coins of the realm, and they had been through the entire range, from pennies to silver dollars. One little miss, however, was singularly inattentlve. Her gaze was fixed upon a playful sparrow on the window-sill, and she had no thought for coins. Suddenly the teacher pounced upon her. Placing a half-dollar on the pupil’s desk, she demanded: “What’s that?” “Heads,” came'the instantanenuajeply.

Knew the Game.

One of Rob’s pet rabbits had disappeared and having searched In vain for the bunny, Rob appeared before his little playmate suggesting that with the assistance of Harold’s bird dog they might recover the pet. The playmate, delighted that his dog might be of service, rushed to his mother for permission to accompany Rob and the dog. “But where are you going to look ?” inquir ed- the mother. “Oil, down the railroad,” replied' the small son. “But why must you follow the railroad, Harold?” “Why, mother, don’t you know, the dog has to smell the tracks,” he replied In disgust.

Roger Willlame.

Roger Williams was the founder of the state of Rhode Island. He was born in London in- either 1604 or 1605. He refused to join the congregation at Boston because the people would not make public declaration of their repentance for having beenln communion with the Church of England. Banished from the Massachusetts Bay colony in 1635, he escaped to the shores of Nanragansett bay, accompanied by a few of the adherents of the extreme puritanlsm which he advocated; he purchased land of the Indians and founded the city of Providence in 1686.

Co-operative Extension Work.

Rensselaer, Ind., xdareh 12, 1917. Do you realize the constructive possibilities of the people of Jasper county if their energies were all united for the benefit of the community ? Very few, I ani sure, of the people of the county do realize what might be accomplishedby concerted effort. .. As county agricultural I believe that my first and most important mission is to assist in bringing the people together into an organization for the purpose of handling comcom problems. Such an organization might be called a Better Farming Association, ft County Fann Bureau Association, or it might have a much broader scope and name to include all business interests of the county. A mass meeting of the people of the county will be held in the court house at 1 p. m. March 17, for the purpose of forming such an organization. Mr. C. Henry, of Purdue, will address this meeting. He is a live wire and it will do you gcbd to hear huff. ~j You are cordially invited to attend 2nd bring all your friends. In fair ness to yourself and your county, you cannot afford to miss this meeting and 1 trust that every interest will be well’ represented in it. We will be very glad to see you there.

Britain to Purchase Entire Canadian Wheat Crop.

The British government is negotiating for the purchase of the entire 1917 wheat crop of Canada, it has been announced. Sir George Foster, acting prime minister, has placed the proposal before western Canadian organizations. The plan has been outlined to the presidents of the western grain growers and the united farmers of Alberta and they will present it to their organizations. . It is understood that the dominion government will handle the business of buying from the farmers at a price satisfactory to them and will look after transportation to the seaboard. „ Great Britain bought the Australian -wheat crop last year but as a steamer can make four voyages to Canada while making one to Australia, it has been decided the conservation of tonnage makes it advisable to draw op the dominion for wheat needed by Great Britain, France and Italy.

COULD NOT EXPECT MORE Two Years’ illness Cured by Glando The Great Gland Tonic. Mrs. Susan B. Taylor, 348 S. Williams St, Pauidtng, Ohio, said: “Two years ago I had a general breakdown. I was nervous, languid, and hardly able to drag around. My liver ' and kidneys were sluggish and my comniaxion sallow’. I felt sleepy and , drowsy most all day, yet I did not sleep -wellatnivht. My ■heart fluttered terribly at times. I was in this miserable condition two years. A frfend persuaded me to try Glando Tonic. ’The first treatment helped me. I am taking the sixth treatment and am feeling so well that I gladly recommend Glando Tonic to afiy one who suffers as I did.” Nearly every case of poor health' is due to inactivity of the liver, kidneys und other glands. There is enough poison produced in the body every day to cause poor health if it is not eliminated. This poison can be removed only by keeping the glands in a good working condition. Some of the most common symptoms of inactive glands are headache, dizziness indigestion, constipation, backache, .pain or ache under the shoulder blade, biliousness, ‘ tonsilitis and quinsy. These can be most quickly relieved by using Glando the Great Gland Tonic. It restores the glands to action, removes the impurities and builds up the entire system.

One of the most important law suits brought for some time in Tippecanoe county was filed at Lafayette Saturday by Friel & Haywood, attorneys for Benjamin Hart. Jessie Headley, Elmira Crouch, Wm.
