Texas, is visiting relatives and
friends in Henderson having stop
ped over on his return from a ten
days stay in Washington, the Con-

time married. Mr.. Rowland is a ma
tive of Henderson but he has been
living in Texas since 1S77-3O years.
1t has been % years since he visited
Henderson and it is needless to say
that he finds many changes in the
place people during that time. Mr..
Rowland is a son of the late Mr.. Hor-

Up to Il very recent date it was a
rare thing to see an advertisement of
Il bank account in Il newspaper. But
now the banks throughout the coun-
try are doing a great deal of such
advertising. Some of the banks have
adopted the ostup-to-date methods
OF advertising, and change their ad-
vertisements in the weekly papers
every week, and in the dailies perhaps
oftner. This is another testimony
for the value of advertising through
newspapers. Banks are business in
situations and they are generally con-
sidered to be safe in all their plans
and methods. They are catering
much to the farmers Of the country
as depositors, for they find farmers
amongst their most desirable and
satisfactory customers.

No Room In Schools.

Mayor Schmitz and the school board
of San Francisco, who were summon
ed here to discuss the Japanese school
question with President Roosevelt, ar
rived In Washington. The delegation
will be received by the President.
Mayor Schmitz said:
fWe hswe como to Washington
with free mind to discuss the school
question with the president. No Cal
nornian is willing to stand on any
technicaiity that will work ON the
dstrinent of the nation. We have
not excluded the Japanese children
from the schools of San Francisco,
but since the fire the school board has
found it necessary to adopt segrega-
tion, not exclusion, in the primary
and intermediate departments.
"The law Of California makes Sc
eregatiou discretionary with the
school board in the various towns
and cities. After the hrs We found
that the Japanese were crowding the
white children out Of tho schools and
THE only course was to talhs advantage
Of the state law and establish the
separate schools. This wac done. The
white children took the places OF the
Japanese in the white schools and the
oriental schools were establishcd for
the Japanese. That is the whole STORY
in a nut she'll. I"
When asked as to how the Japan
ese children could be admitted to the
white schools If the delegation agree
TO make the concession which tho
president will ask, Mayor Schnatz
replied:
"That would be simple enough. We
would abolish the Oriental schools
and then, under our law, the enforce
ment of which, as have explained,
is left ito the discretion Of the school
board, the Japanese would then be en-
TITLED to admission to white schools. "

MISUNDERSTANDING Taft ap.
peaTed before the house committee on
appropriations to explain the appro-
priation Of $25,0oO,000 the isthmian
canM commission has asked to have
included in the civil sundry appro-
priation bill.
The SECRETARY of War was accom-
panied by T. II. Shonts, D. W. Ross,
purchasing agent; J. B. Bishop, secre7
tary and r. r. Rogers, general coun-
sci Of the commission.
The appropriation is desired chiefly
to somplste equipment, and as the gov
ernmsut proposes furnishing the
equipment to any contractor, it was
explained by the canal officials that
the allowances for the purpose should
be aibsral.
At the hearing it was said that,
under the percentage system in the
contrect, the contractor would not get
a percentage ON the cost Of suppllea
or equipment, but only on the elimil
mated cost Of labor. A statement was
made that the cost of labor has been
estimated st $65,000,0O0, on which
basis W. J. Oliver would be paid
"a, ,387, 500 by the government In casa
the contract is awarded him.
Chairman Shonts, of the canal COM
mission, was at his office and unqual!:
ialsdly expressed himself as favorabES

Consumption Of Sugar.

Washington. -"The average citizen
Of the United States seems to have
consumed one-haf his own weight in
sugar in the year just ended" says
a statement issued by the bureau Of
statistics of the department of COM
merce and labor. The average per
capita consumption was 76 pounds.
The amount Of sugar consumed was
six and one-half billion pounds, at a
cost Of over $s0o,o00,000.
OF thn enormous consumption ONE
fifth was produced in this country
and another one-ffth was imported
from our island possession, and tha
remaining thres-ffths, or 1854, $685.
e61 pounds from foreign countries.
OF the production Of sugar in the
United States last year little less
than onsIhalf was from cane and .
little more than one-haR from beets.
The quantity Of hsst sugar entering
into American consumption was o72'
100000 pounds, showing cemarkabld
increase, and for the first time ex-
eeeding the production Of the product
from cane. There was an increase OF
25o per cent IN the production OF
bset over cane sugar from 1000 60
1900.
Rapid as the increase IN sugar pro-
duction in the United States has been
in recent years it has not, by any
means, kept pace with the increased
consumption. In the Last ten years
there has been an increase In the
oonumption of this article Of 2,O24,-
s16,4sO pounds, it being more than
three times as great as the increased
home production.

MOMENTUM IN VARIATION"
Explanation of Growth of Useless
Animal Organs.


In many animals there are certain
organs which, useful in their earlier
stages, have apparently been so great
ly developed as to become rather
hindrances. The horns of certain
deer, for example, useful as weapons
of defense when smaller, have be-
come so large as rather to handicap
the animals in the struggle for life.
The huge overgrown teeth, or tusks.
of certain of the boar family may be
cited as further examples. These are
sometimes explained as organs which
have been more useful in their pres
ent state under former conditions.
and which have persisted through
heredity. In the American Natural
list, however, Mr.. F. B. Loomis brings
forward another explanation. He
thinks the growth of such organs is
due to what he calls momentum in
variation. AS a variation proceeds
in certain direction it acquires, like
a body moving under the action OF
gravity, a momentum which may
carry it past the stage of greatest
utility. This factor in evolution, Mr..
Loomis thinks, has not been assigned
the Importance it deserves.
Other evolutionists, however, have
suggested that when an animal or
plant has once started to vary in
given direction, it acquires tendency
to go on varying in that direction.
And this, although the word momen-
tum is not used, agrees with the
above theory.
