The monthly subscriptions promised uy some of the residents of this sec tion have not beeu paid regularly, and the delinquent list Is Increasing every month. This negligence on the rart of some of the subscribers is not inlr to the people of this city and it Is not fair to the hoys at the front. It Is desired by the executive com mittee that all contributors should tail at the city hall and pay their c.ibscriptions monthly or quarterly, ax Is most convenient. This will dispense with the necessity of solicit ing and save on the time of the com mittee. All who have not paid up to date aro most earnestly requested to do so at the city hall before Saturday evening, July 27. EXECFT'VE COMMITTEE, CET THE SAVING HABIT Wtges are high; real estate Is low. Buy a home on easy terms, and have it paid for before wages come down; then Real Estate will swing upwards at'.d you will have done more than you calculated. The easiest money that one ever gets Is to buy low anil sell high. See Beaver Realty Co. about this and they will put you wise. 211 E.

Ill Incws perfectly well how to trans form a full posketbook to an empty INSECT VICTIMS OF "BOOZE" Scientists Familiar With Many Varie ties That Indulge In a Sort of Bacchanalian Festival. There would seem to be no partic ular reason from the human stand point why the Ivy should be called the plant of Bacchus, since no wlno Is made from Its berries. Entomologists, however, have found that the Ivy flowers provide a veritable bacchana lian festival for a number of Insects. Men of science are wont to sully forth nt night with lanterns to capture the Intoxicated moths that crowd nround the greenish blossoms. When the willow Is In bloom they find a similar scene of dissipation around Its yellow catkins. The tippling Insect may be used to point a moral by the prohibitionist, since rum not Infrequently lends to Its ruin. There Is a fly so addicted to wine that Linnaeus named It the "cel lar fly," which appellation KIrby changed to the more appropriate one of the "cellar wine drinker." KIrby states that the larvae of this little fly, whose diet he could attest from his own observations, disdains to feed on anything but wine or beer, which, like Boniface In the play, It may bo said both to eat and drink. There are bees ond flowers whose random meetings result In the sume curious phenomenon. On the single dnhllns and gnlllnrdlns of the garden bees nre often to be seen In the same maudlin stale, and these bees are more frequently of the black and yellow banded kind. If you take such a bee off the gulllnrdia the Insect will re main In your hand, indulging in quaint antics or simply trembling In every member. Presently, however, It will recover nnd fly off straight to another gnlllardln flower ond In a very short time Is ngaln In Its former state of Imbecility. One mny pick It up again and have a repetition of the performance. f LENT INSPIRATION TO ARTIST How Glint In Eye of Model Led Paint er to Altsr the Spirit of His Masterpiece. "The Spirit of Seventy-six" the fa mous drum nnd fife trio came from the brush ar.d genius of Archibald M. Wlllard. The artist emerged from overalls nnd a Wellington, O., wagon shop. A pic ture called "Pluck No. 1," displayed In n Cleveland art dealer's window, at tracted the nl tent Inn of the discrimi nating nnd paved the way to a kind of partnership with James II. nvJ.iT, through whose suggestion the "Seventy-six" picture was begun. , In Its early stages this painting was called "Yankee JDoodle" and It was first planned along serio-comic lines. "But one day," declares Mr. Wlllard, "I caught a glint in the eye of the old man who posed for the cen ter figure, and In a flash It revealed it self to me what all this stood for, and I could go no further. The real pic ture pushed everything else aside and went nhead and painted Itself." , The old mnn whose flashing eyes Inspired this change of conception wns the artist's father, Rev. Daniel Wlllard, a man of revolutionary stock. Thus curiously it was only by the merest switch of an Inherited senti ment that this symbol was prevented from becoming a fanciful burlesque to live only for the brief day of Its cre ation. Everybody's Magazine. Crow at Home on the Earth. "I have seen no bird walk the ground with just the same a'.r the crow does," writes John Burroughs In "An Idyll of the Honey Bee." "It Is not exactly pride ; there Is no strut or swagger In It, though perhaps just a little con descension ; It is the contented nnd self possessed gnlt of a lord over his do mains. 'AH these ncres nre mine,' he says, 'and all these crops; men plow and sow for me, and I stay here or go there and find life sweet nnd good wherever I am.' "The hnwk looks awkward and out of place on the ground; the game birds hurry and skulk, but the crow Is nt home and trends the earth as if there were none to molest or make him afraid." Opprobrious Epithets. A correspondent Informs ns that B woman defendant in a Brittany police court has been fined 50 francs for call ing another woman "an old tank." The offense presumaby lay In the unusual, as In the case of the fishwife whom O'Connell silenced by calling a "paral lelepiped." Psychology has never yet solved the problem why a compara tively Innocuous phrase may cause more offense thnn the vilest abuse. For Instnnce, "mort aus vaches" does not strike the Englishman ns bo very terrible, yet, to tell a French gendarme of your desire for nn Increase In the mortality rate among cows Is a surer wuy of asking for trouble than to slan der the Pope in a Home Rule strong hold. London Globe. Wrens Valuable In the Garden. The examination of 88 stomachs of house wrens showed that D8 per cent of their contents was composed of In sects or their allies, nnd only 2 per cent of vegetable matter, made up of bits of grass nnd other vegetation evi dently taken In catching the Insects. As the wren often raises In a season 12 to 10 young, all of which become mature enough to forage for them selves very soon after they are able to leave (he nest, It Is evident that a pair of these lively little birds are very de sirable tenants In garden or orchard, Efioplc's. Horns Journal, , .- j UmpquaMossMayBe Used For Dressings In the moss which grows along the L'ir.pqua river, Douglas county may have a product which will prove ln nluablo in the hospitals and on the battlefields of Europe, says the Rose l urg Review. Prof. W, E. Lawrence, a prominent botanist of the agricul tural college, has notified Fruit In spector Pearcy that he will spend sev eral days in this county, probably next week, to examine the moss beds Isr the lower I'mpqua river near Elk ton. Trof. Lawrence will make the In "estigatlons for moss in the interest (it the American Red Cross and it is possible that this extensive field of moss can be used in place of cotton ac sphagnum moss is now being used. Although the moss found In the lcv.er I'mpqua is not of exactly the same appearanco or fibre as the tphagnum moss, it is thought to con tain just as good absorbent and heal ing powers and if found available for use will prove of great value to the Rea Cross. ( The supply of sphagnum moss is '. ecomlng very scarca and shipments of it are being received from Alaska. In tills country it is found only along the Pacific coast in the northwest, In Oregon and Washington, but the reds there will not bo enough to meet the demands of tha hospitals. It is greatly desired by tho Red Cross because of its absorbing quali ties. It will take up many times ns much blood as common cotton, with out clogging and becoming soggy as cotton does. Fruit Inspector Pearcy and Prof. Lawrence will make a trip along the lower I'mpqua when the latter ar I'ves and upend some time in mak 'r.g investigations in the vicinity of Scoltsbury and Elkton. Prof. Law lence will also collect poisonous plants during his visit to this coun ty. Roy Crouch, an expert automobile upair man, who lias been in the city for seme time looking for an busi ness location, has taken over the Ashland garage, where lie will lie in charge of that wefl known establish ment after tomorrow. Mr. Crouch has had many years' experience In the auto business, and no doubt will I ulld up a fine business In this new venture ONLY BIT OF RUINED WALL All That Remains of Castle That Was the Birthplace of Scotland's Hero, Robert Bruce. ' Turnberry ensile, on the const of Ayrshire, Scotland, now but a bit of ruined wnll near the lighthouse, was the birthplace and early home of Rob ert Bruce, whose father and mother "combined In themselves the earldoms of Annnndale nnd Cnrrlck or royal lineage the titles still being retained by the present royal family of the United Kingdom." In ancient times this old castle was large and strong. In the early part of Brace's career Turnberry was held by an English force. Bruce through a mistaken signal, came to take the old familiar place, though his men were many too few for the task. Dis daining to give It up, however, he kept up nn Irregular war, sometimes being driven to refuge in the mountains or even In the wilds of a distant loch. At length he gathered together enough men to take Turnberry castle, which act was the beginning of his triumphant progress through Ayrshire nnd Stirlingshire, which finally ended with Bannockburn's tremendous vic tory. It Is hard to realize the oldtlme Im portance of Turnberry, now that the visitor must scanty long before he can come across Its few battered remains.
