WATER WORKS FOR LAKE CITY Substantial Vote Cast In Favor OF Bond Issue Last Week. The election Tuesday of last week at Lake City on the question as to whether Lake City should have waterworks and sewerage resulted as fallows: In a vote of 98 for waterworks 20 against waterworks; 99 for sewerage and 21 against sewerage. The sentiment in favor of these improvements was about five to one. "A number of the votes against the issue of bonds was caused by a misapprehension that the water and sewer mains would only extend through the business sections of the town says the Lake City News." "We understand that a number of the people in what is called new town voted against both issues on these grounds. "This vote is the culmination of a carefully planned movement started sen era] months ago when practically all of the freeholders seen, signed a petition asking the council to order the election. The result of the election was at no time in doubt but there were various estimates as to tie amount of the majorities. "There is little doubt that this was a neoessary step for the town to take in the way of public health and improvement It is probable that within two years after the system is installed there will not be found a single citizen who would oppose such an issue again. This is universally the history cf such movements. Tliere is no doubt that some hardship may be placed on a very few on account of "their non-productive property holdings, but we believe that flue' enhancement in value of the property will more than offset any burden the issue will place on any one. The vote for commissioners resulted as follows: L. E. Nesmith, 113; L. R. Truluck, 108; and J.

PARADISE OF THE PACIFIC Palm-Clothed Islands That Have All of the Riches Man Has Any Need to Covet. The little-known Trobrland group of - Islands is a cluster of palm-clothed > gems that stud the emerald Pacific a hundred-odd miles northeast of Sa1 marai (Papua). They are the real , thing in coral romance. The natives . are of the Melanesian type, happy people with a fondness (especially on the ! part of the star-eyed maidens) for ) Europeans, who have exploited the ' rich pearl fishery. They are advanced : In arts and crafts, and produce a tremendous quantity of carved weapons - and ornaments, which are eagerly bought by tourists from curlo-dealen ' In Sydney and Melbourne. I Before competition set In the islandj ers did not get much for their pearls. Gems worth |50 and |75 were freely .' bought for as many pence. The group .

General Plumer, who has recently been recalled to France from Italy, can be very ironical when he chooses, as the following story proves: Shortly before the war, when he held the Irish command, a regiment was being maneuvered before him on a field day, and the colonel In charge succeeded In getting his men mixed up pretty thoroughly. However, be went grimly on, and at last, calling a halt, rode up to Plumer with un air of importance. *T flatter myself that was extremely well done, sir," he said, evidently with iV- ,J ? hln# that nftth.

Insect* That Have Food Value. Among insects which have been and are considered of gastronomic valne are caterpillars, moths, a favorite In some parts of Africa; the pupae of the silkworm in China; ants, alive and roasted, are appreciated in Burmah, as well as by the Indians of North and South America, while It is said the lumbermen of Maine enjoy an occasional meal of large wood ants. The beetle is eaten in the Nile valley, in 1 Turkey, Lombardy, Java, Peru, and is said to be nutritious and fattening. In Central America the eggs of three aquatic bugs are made into little cakes and eaten. Mexicans make a strong drink by infusing a tiger beetle In alcohol. Possibilities of North Africa.

The climate and pasture make it almost as ideal a country as Australia for sheep raising, and it has peculiar advantages for what might be called extensive pig raising; its acorns and other tree crops taking the place of corn.
