POTENT LIQUOR is SAKE.
Lafcadio Hearn's Testimony az 20
Strength of Japanese Wine.

There is no liquor in the world upon
which a mar becomes so quickly in
toxicated as Japanese sake (rice
wine), and yet none Of which the eff
fects last so short a time. The in
toxication is pleasant as the effect of
opium or hasheesh. 1t is soft, pleas
ant, luminous e~xhilaration, everything
becoming brighter, happier, lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At Japanese dinners it is the rule to
become slightly exhilarated, but not to
drink enough to talk thickly or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at BAN
quets requires practice-long practice.
There are banquets of many kinds,
and the man who is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex-
pected Is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. BY
not eating mi can drink a good deal.
The cups are very small and of many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty so. A quart of sake is a good
deaif two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At a
military officers banquet a captain
offered me a tumbler holding a good
pint of sake. I almost tainted at the
sight of it, for it was only the first.
But a friend said to me: only drink
a little and pass it back" which I did.
Stronger heads emptied cup after cup
like water.-Letters of Lafcadio

1t is quite a popular impression that
the heart of the apple tree is essential
to its well-being, Yet it is known that
the heart is but dead wood and plays
little part in the life OF usefulness of
the tree. It helps to keep the tree
upright and gives strength to it after
the wood that composes the heart has
ceased to perform cellular work. The
strength given by the heart is valua-

SHOULD BE UPHELD
SECRETARY HITCHCOCK is IN
THE RIGHT.
His Refusal to Revoke Order With.
drawing Indian Lands From Alioi-
ment viii Be Endorsed by
Democratic Party.

It is evident that those western SEN
ators whose constituents have been
mixed up in the land frauds and those
senators whose togas are not entirely
clear of participation are intent on at
lacking Secretary Hitchcock, who has
stood like a lion in the way of the
land grafters and Indian plunderers.
The immediate cause of conflict is the
withdrawal of 1000, 900 acres of In.
dian lands from allotment which con
gress had ordered made. The with.
Idrawal order of Secretary Hitchcock
is claimed by the special committee
of the senate, which has been investl-
eating the citizenship and property
rights of the five civilized tribes of In.
dians, to be a u%surpation of authority.
But Secretary Hitchcock was evident
ly unmoved by the threats of the sem
ate committee, when he appeared be-
fore them and was requested to ex-
plain his reasons for withdrawing the
land, which he declined to do.
The outrageous frauds discovered by
Secretary Hitchcock in the disposal Of
the Indian lands would seem to be
ample reason for his withdrawing the
lands for the time being, until the de-
,partment could ferret out the frauds.
The senate committee thinks other
wise and even intimated impeach-
ment as a threat to make the secre-
tary rescind his order withdrawing the
lands. These threats, however, had no
effect upon Secretary Hitchcock, who
claims he has general control over the
affairs of the Indians and the same
right to direct the policy to be pur-
sued with reference to their lands
that he exercises in directing the pol
icy to be pursued with reference to
the public domain.
To those Of us who have no interest
in the matter, except to see exact
Justice done, 1t would seem that the
attitude of Secretary Hitchcock is to
he commended, for even If he has ex-
ceeded his authority and temporarily
set aside an act Of congress, he has
done so to prevent fraud. Fraud viii
ates all contracts, and eve an act o.
congress should be no exception to
that most ancient of legal rules.
AS Secretary Hitchcock is about the
only Republican high official that has
shown unflinching honesty he will I'M
doubtedly be upheld by Democrats.
But it must also be remembered that
the Republican administration Of the
Indian Territory has been a constant
scandal and most of the officials ap-
pointed there by the administration
have been a disgrace and a constant
source of corruption.

Two general practices are approved
by cultivators Of corn. One is to
plant the corn three kernels in a hill
and have the hills three feet eight
inches apart, and the other method
is to plant the corn in hills three
feeS apart each way and have but
two stalks to a hill. In either case
there are approximately 1900 stalks
to the acre: it will vary about 20
stalks either way. In our expert
ments at the university we have
found that planting In hills three feet
apart and with two stalks to the hill
gives us about 3A bushels more corn
to the acre than when we plant the
other way.-Professor @. G.. Hopkins.

taken 80 years for some OF the older
states to acquire. The state aid plan
will obtain in all the information that
the national association has to impart.
That Is, the present plan is 10 try to
instil into the new state legislation
that will provide that the state shall
have the authority to pay so per cent
of the cost of constructing state roads,
while the county and abutting proper
ty owners shall bear the remaining
30 per cent, ad at any time that a ma
jority Of the property owners petition
the road shall be constructed. All
construction must be under state su.
pervision.
w. H. Moore, president of the ma
tional association, states that it costs
from $1,000 to $4,000 per mile 10 CON
struct a macadam road, depending
upon the available material. Such O.
road, when built, is practically indie.
structible. There is as much road
building material in the new state as
in the union, and the natural roads
are as good as any state has. The
duty the national association has set
for itself is to first instil into the
minds of the people Of the new state
the necessity and the value of good
roads, and then teach them how to
construct them. 1t will endeavor to
transmit to the legislative bodies that
make the laws of the new state pro-
gressive road legislation that has been
tried successfully in the older states.
All the best legislation will be can
vassed and made to apply here.

CHINESE HAD FIRST zoo.
Institution of Menageries Was Due to
TWO Incentives.

The Chinese had the first zoo Me
nageries are thought to owe their
origin partly to the cult of sacred
animals and partly to the ambition of
rulers to possess specimens ofNrare
and valuable creatures from foreign
lands or savago beasts from their own.
In the simplest forms geological gar
dens were one Of the earliest develop
ments Of culture, and were familiar to
the Chinese, Indians, Greeks, Romans,
and pre-Spanish Mexicans in ancient
times. The Oldest recorded menagerie
is Chinese, dating from 1850 B. C. The
den of lions kept by Darius, as de-
scribed in the book of Daniel, is an ex-
ample Of one of those primitive me-
nageries, while the cult of sacred
white horses by the ancient Greeks
and Romans and that of so-called
white elephants in Burma and Siam
are instances of a second type. A live
giraffe was received at the menagerie
Of Schonbrunn as early as 1928.
