The HEIGHT OF MAN.
Alarming Conclusions Reached After Much
study by a Statistician.

Alarming Conclusions Reach ed After Much
study by Statistician.
A French statistician has been study
ing the average heights of men at differ
ent periods OF the worlds history and
has reached some alarming conclu-
sions.
The recorded facts extend over nearly
three centuries. 1t IS found that IN
1910 the average height Of men in Eu-
rope was nearly feet 6 inches. In
1890 it was feet inches. In 1920 it
was = feet inches ard a fraction At
the present time it is. 5 feet 39+ inches.
II is easy to deduct from these figures
a rate of regular and gradual decline in
human stature, and they apply this.
working backward and forward, TO the
past and TO the future.
BY this calculation it is determined
that the stature of the first men at
tanned the surprising average of - feet
: inches. The race had already deteri-

TRUE AS GOSPEL,

The Atchison Champion says that in
proportion to It's earning capacity, Kan
sas farm land is the cheapest article to-
day in the American market. There are
plenty of farm lands in the valley of
the Vermillion, the Nemaha, the Kaw,
the Smoky, the Arkansas, the Solomon,
the Blue, the Republican and others
equally fertile, producing crops fully as
good as the farms of any of the older
states, to be bought at one-fourth the
money. Show the world the facts. The
report Of Secretary Rusk and proves
that during the past ten years the aver
age yield per acre OF corn, oats and
wheat in Kansas has been above the
average of all other states. Facts and
figures are the best friends of Kansas
farm lands.

Miss Susan b. Anthony says that we
are on the ''eve' OF an EZRA of uumar-
ried women. Dear Miss Anthony by
that token undoubtedly believes that
woman suffrage is assured and in the
near future. Eve" and EZRA" are sug-
gestive in such a juxtaposition. The era
in which Eve took hand in procuring
the family grub and in doing the talking
for her husband, proved disastrous one
for herself, children and the whole
human race But Miss Anthony having
never had husba nd or children must be
excused, we suppose. Marriage is only
a failure with woman sutfrsglsts.
