Now we know th a t a man, an elephant or a flea art all actually composed of millions of smaller organisms, and these of others smaller still. The mai who wrote: “Great fleas have little fleas to bite ’em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, so on, ad infinitum.” little realized how exactly the two Latin words expressed the truth. Animal life has been de­ monstrated down to a degree of smallness that to a human mind is infinite. Man ¡s constantly making dis­ coveries which prove th at the greatest or the smallest of which he can conceive are not limits in the two directions, but he is increasing his knowledge withi i. the limits of his capactiy. It is known th at during much of the prenatal growth the hu­ man and animal organisms are wonderfully alike. The discov- eriea of A. C. P illsbu ry, now working with the university of California, carries th s similarity in early life stages down through the vegetable kingdom.

Spring is sometimes laggard. Out of doors the trees are still bare and the fields of a dingy but. ” If the editor of the E nter­ prise tried to pass off such stuff Jis th at on our readers, who a rt and have been enjoying a riot of (lowers and watching calves and lambs grow in the lush green fields, he might land in an in­ sane asylum. No, thank you; we don’t need any of your canned goods, even at your bargain offer of 50 cents a column.

Don’t send money away to somebody you don’t know to be used in advertising your farm for sale. There are swindlers who get money in this way and do the contributors of it no good.
