bounty S. S. Association to Organize.
The County Sunday School As
sociation which will perfect a perma
nent organization in Smitlifleld, John
ston County on Friday, June 17 when
the Interdenominational Convention
will be held, is a part of one of
the largest organizations In the world.
It is not merely a County Association
in itself, but it is a part of a system
of Associations. Behind the County
Organization is the State Association
and behind the State Organization is
the International Association, which
comprises Canada, United States and
Mexico, and behind the International
is the great World's Sunday School
Association, which embraces all the
countries where the Sunday School
forces are at work. Thus the Coun
ty Association is a part of a whole,
and has the benefit of the work of
all the other Associations behind it.
The purpose of the County Organi
zation is to secure a deeper interest
and broader view of the Organized
Sunday Sc hool Movement through the
moans of interdenominational coope
ration In the formation of township
associations iu inch township of
the County. The Township Associa
tion is the link that completes the
chain of the system. Into its organ
ization is poured the very cream of
Organized Sunday School work, as it
comes from the World's through the
International by the State to the
County into the Township organiza
tion.
Thus the Organized Sunday School
Movement is a big thing world-wide
in its scope, yet local in Its applica
tion. It combines the qualities ol
being extensive and intensive at one
and the same time. It is further
strengthened in the fact that its work
is interdenominational, and behind
it stands all the evangelical denomi
nations.
The gathering here on June 17 is
for the purpose of organizing, and
mucl^ good to the Sunday School worl
throughout the County is expected
to follow the Organization in John
ston County.

the Missourian knew little of stan

had to perceive, albeit grudgingly
that Mark Twain's own style was as
much a legal tender of thought as
was Carlyle's; that it was, withal, ar
instrument well tempered to his
mind and true to his hand. And 11
was borne in upon these high priests
of New England culture that fun was

Where Do Flies Go In Winter?
The fly has long been an enigma,
k'et it ha* bet n regarded as nothing
nore t. rious than a b otlu'r?ou:e nul
>aace. A score of years ago the cur
?eut, how-old-U-Ann query was
'Where do the flies go iu winter?"
rhe question is stilt barely answer
tble. It is almost impossible to find
l fly ill March, yet there are billions
u September. Here is the story of
t:
Th? cold of the winter kills off the
treat mass of the flies. Ther? ?re
i: otimable quantities of them perish
ignomiueously. They all seem to
have disappeared. There is, however,
mi occasional individual that tucks
tiimself away in a snug corner of the
sarret rafter or down in the furnace
room and succeeds in keeping alive.
There is an occasional manure pile
that is kept warm by fermentation
and here the embryonic flies live. I
When the first warm days come ]
the fly awakes aud finds Itself an i
Isolated Robinson Crusoe in a world i
almost unpopulated with its fellows, i
Its instinct is to go forth and iuultl- i
ply, for upon this capacity depends i
the existence of all its kind. The fly
lays 120 eggs in a manure pile. In
ten days these eggs are mature and
there are 120 flies ready to reproduce
themselves. Each of these produces
120 offspring twenty days from the
first beginning. That makes 14.400'
flies with the same productive pow-[
er. These breed 1,728,000 in another I
ten days, and 200,000,000 at the end
of a month. The multiplication goes
on for five months, and at the end]
of that time the family ^ias grown
incredibly. It makes no difference
where the flies go in winter so long]
as one stays at home to start things
agin the nexat year.?Prof. Du I'uy.
