In no fold OF activity has Japan
done 80 much as in that of education.

Seattle post.Intelllgeneer.

Machinery in Farming.

The future is full of promise for
tired farmers. Machinery is doing
their work for them. Professor Ii.
W. Quantance of the University
of Missouri finds that twenty one
men will produce the same quantity
of our nine principle crops incIud.
ing barley, rice, cotton corn, oats,
hay, potatoes, rye and wheat as
Que hundred farmers would fifty
years ago. The total saving thus
uunua lily effected in the United
States is $50, 1868, 1922 days of good
toll. When it is remembered that
under the old order of things it
would require nearly fifty million
people to produce the crop now
raised by ten million of our popu-
lation it must be addmited that we
are making rapid progress in sOlv-
ing the problem of production.

SKIPS ROPE AND DIES
Little Mary Cuff Was Cham
pion but Heart Gave Out.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Pretty and vi
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Michael Cuff,
of No. 293 avenue D. Bayonne, N. j.,
died yesterday OF a weakened heart caus-
ed by her excessive indulgence in skip
ping the rope.
Mary was passionately fond of rope
skipping. She would skip to school and
home again, and during the recess she
would take her rope to the courtyard
and jump until the bell rang summoning
the pupils back again. She was one of
the brightest children in st. Marys pa
rochial school, and the other girls declare
that Mary could skip the rope hundreds
of times and outdO any of her compan-
ions.
Thursday afternoon Mary indulged in
her favorite pastime with unusual spirit
and kept it up until she was faint. She
went home and told her mother that she
felt a pain about her heart. Mrs. Cuff
sent for DR.. L. F. DOnohoe, who found
that the child had weakened her heart by
jumping.
The child's condition rapidly became
