As to Badness.

A recent article is a medical
Journal says that bald-headed
people are, as rule, exempt from
serious pulmonary diseases. The
writer did not find bald headed
person among 5000 cases OF tu-
bercuIosis which had been investi-
gated by him. 1t is also stated
that the insane asylums contain
very few bald-headed people.
Some of the best things in lit
erature and oratory have been
written and uttered by baldhead-
ed authors and orators. The
mighty Caesar is represented as
bald in all his efiigies, and as a
matter of fact badness has been
associated with greatness of every
sort.
Those who have been subjected
to the good natured jibes of more
or less facetious friends will see
from this that they are far more
favored than many who look
upon a bald head as an especial
gift from Providence to flies and
mosquitoes to be used as a parade
ground.

Young Brannon Kills Himself

of the West Virginia supreme
bench, committed suicide at his

deed.
Appraised, as they say, by in
tuition or premonition, that the
boy was about to figure in a ira
sgedy, members of the family be-
sought the sister to keep an eye
on him. When she entered the
room he had a revolver IeveIed
at his temple, and the fight for ii
began. Young Brannon was
victor, and fired bullet into his

WONDERFUL HARVEST PROM

The Yields Will Probably Break ALI
Records, Except for Cotton.


All available statistics point to
probably the most abundant yields
in the records of American agricul
ture The only exception is that
of cotton. The corn crop will
reach approximately the stuper-
dous total of 1924 10000 bushels,
or $40, 100000 more than was raised
last year in the states of Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
Michigan. Minnesota, Missouri,
the DAkotas. Ohio and Wisconsin.
For the entire country it will be
much greater than that historic
year, 1901. AS to wheat, it may
fall little short of the crop of The
year above referred to. which was
74s. 600 600 bushels. but this diss
crepancy is by no means certain,
and it msy be that it will go a
little above that bountiful harvest

According to a French medical
journal. diet consisting largely of
pork will make person pessimis-
tic; beef, if eaten month after
month, will make a man strong,
energetic and audaoious. while a
mutton diet, if continued for any
length of time will make one mel
ancholy. The person who eats
much veal will gradually lose his
energy and gayety. Eggs and
milk used freely will make a wo.
man healthy and vivaoious; butter
used too freely will make one phleg
matio and lazy; apples are excellent
for brain workers, and any one who
has much intellectual work to do
should eat freely of apples Po

person dull and inactive, while

One of the humorous, and at the
same time serious, phases of the
new tax laws is in the variety and
inoomoatibility of opinions render
ed by way of construction by the
different constituting officials of the
state. When the liquor license
question was first presented to Mr..
Dillon from Parkersburg he put
some four different constructions
on the law, and finally ended the
discussion by writing the local
officers to oonstrue it any old way
they thought best and it would be
all right.
Another momentous issue has
been raised in Monopgalia county
over the license, which the Attor.
ney General says retailers of beef
must take out at cost of 500 a
year. This is a new unexpected
proposition, but according to the
prints-it is declared by the Attor
ney General to be the law. just
what constitutes retailer of beef
is another paragraph subject to
construction. So much of row
has been raised over the matter by
the people of Monongalia that the
prosecuting attorney of the county
has written letter to the tax CON-
missioner. begging that he and the
Attorney General get together and
constrDe the law in some other
way. In this Monongalia case the
Tax Commissioner renders one
opinion in the matter and the At
torney General gives one entirely
different and precisely the oppo.
site. So there you are. There are

Amsriea,. Idls Msn.


There is a great demand fol
labor on the farms of the United
Statesand Canada, and also II
certain trades and industries. Al
the same time there are thousands
of men without employment who
will not seek it where there is
necessity for he p or whose ap-
plications for work would be re-
jected if they put them in. This
is due to two causes: first, because
many are so enamored with city
life that they would prefer to be
idle and often hungry in large
community than to be busy, we'll
fed and on the way to prosperity
in the country. They crave the
excitement of the city, and the
country is too slow for them. OF
course common sense teaches that
their view is a mistaken one, but
it is held by a multitude of per-
sons who swell the generally idle
class in our large cities.
Again many are idle because
they have never been taught how
to do anything useful. They
have no trade or profession.
They are too proud to do labor
ing work and frequently by rea-
son of their habits are physically
unfit to perform it. They pre-
fer to live by their wits. which
are often precious small, and to
trust to luck or to friends or rela-
tives to supply them with the
necessaries of life. Hence it is
that while employers in many
branches of industry are looking
for help the streets of our great
cities are lined with men who are
worse than idle and who never
do hard work only upon the
highest compulsion.
Every year thousands of hard
working foreigners come to this
country and find employment,
and many of them in a few years
establish homes which they own.
At the same time multitude of
native Americans are spending
their time in idleness and worse.
The fault lies largely with the
fathers and mothers of the coun-
try. They should insist that
every boy shall be taught to do
something useful and to acquire
the habit of working, The law
makers might also take a hand.
Many evils are claimed to result
from large quantities of land
lying idle, but worse ones un-
doubtedly are due to the existence
of a large class of idle men in our
Nation.-Pittsburg Post.
