Bo ard of Trade.

The regular meeting of the Board Of Trade was held at the board rooms on Tuesday night, with seven directors present.
 The chief matter before he board at this meeting was a consideration of raising of funds for aggressive advertising, but in view of the fact that the time is near for paying of taxes, and for other reasons, which were thought not favorable for such an undertaking, the recom- mendation of the finance com mittee that the raising of such funds should be delayed to some time in the future, were approved. The board feels that an aggressive and up'to-date advertising campa- ing during the coming spring is imperative, and will work to that end. The advertising committee reported that they were at present in correspondence with parties looking toward the securing of a suitable party fer compiling the data for new literature which the board hopes to issue during the coming months.
 There being no further business before the board, the meeting ad- Iourned, that is. the formal meet ing adjourned, but most of the members remained to join in very interesting and lively discussion on the money possibility of mule raising in this vicinity.

An Agricultural Experiment Station.

At Esperanza, in the lower Ya- qui valley, the Richardson Con- struction Company has established an agricultural experiment station, in charge of which has been placed MT. Robert Latham, an experienced gardener and horticulturist, from Los Angeles.
 The station includes a garden of about an acre, and a planting house 40x20 feet, enclosed with latticed walls of lath. Within the walls of the house the seeds are sprouted in boxes, and the young plants are transplanted to various localities, in a variety of soils, where environ ment and conditions differ, and there careful records are kept of growth and results. Comparison and con- trast of the various records are ex pected to be of great usefulness in determining the best and most profitable crops to be planted in the various localities in the valley.
 One of the most important ex- periments to be undertaken by Mir. Latham will be the propagation of the various varieties of Eucalyptus, which trees the manager of the company, Mir. Carl F. Adam, be- lieves can be grown successfully and profitably in the Yaqni delta. The experiment will be conducted upon large scale, so that when finished there will be complete record of all the details of the cul- ture, and the results attained. Seeds for 100000 trees of the vari- ous varieties of eucalyptus have been ordered and received, and the work of propagation is in hand. As soon as the young trees are sprouted sufficiently for transplant ing they will be set in groves at various points on the company's lands along the river, and in the valley, and the results will be not ed carefully and recorded. Of the different varieties some are useful for railway ties and timber, others

LARGE HEART;
POOR ATHLETE
Some Interesting COmpari-
sons Made at lhe Recent
Olympia Games

However admirable large -heartedness
may be in a physical sense. it seems alto
gother undesirable as physiological quail
ity. a German physician publishes some
interesting comparisons made at the re-
cent Olympian games respecting ,the size
and stamina Of the hearts Of the Aneri-
can. British and German competitors
He examined the hearts of the Germans
before the games and immediately con-
cluded that they would not prove formld-
able rivals The size OF their hearts was so
abnormaliy great that In contests requir-
ing strength. energy and endurance IL was
physically impossible that they could sue
coed. The results proved the truth OF the
won places we're the posscssors OF mini
mrm-sized hearts.
In uhe American sportsmeu the heart
conditions we're in striking contrast 10
those Of the Germans. Many OF tho Amer
can athletes hearts were or similar de
mensions to the smallest heart the doctor
had ever measured in German hospital
An invlnoihle sprinter possessed the small
est heart among the American competi-
tors
Among the Englishmen examined by the
doctor the heart was found to be slightly
larger than the American heart. although
it was smaller than those Of any other ma
ton.
The writer maintains that German
athletes by a wrong system Of train
Ing and injudicious living. are cultivatine

MANY CHILDREN WANT WORK
Twenty-Five Permits Issued Daily in
the County Court

the County Court
An average of twenty-five permits
per day is now being issued from the
County Court to children who de-
sire to improve their vacation period
by earning little money. The rush
started Immediately after the closing
of school and is still in progress,
every day seeing fresh bunchat the
Court for permission to go to work.
Two classes of permits are issued.
The first, which is called the regular
permit, is given to children between
the ages of IA and 10, and allows
them to work at any ordinary voca-
ton, NOT to exceed, however, ten
hours per day. The second class of
permits goes to those applicants be-
tween the ages of II and IA, and al
lows the child to do light work only
out of doors, such as messenger serv-
ice, etc. Under no condition will a
child under IA be allowed to work in a
factory, and none under liar allowed
to work at all.
Although many parents call at the
Office Of Judge Slosson with children
who have not reached the required
age, comparatively little trouble is
experienced with vio1ators of the law
and it is safe to say that practically
no cases exist in Kenosha where chill.
dren of tender age are illegally EN-.
ployed in factories or otherwise.
Both parents and employers have
come to the conclusion that it is bet.
ter and safer to obey the law in this
matter than stand the expense OF
prosecution which experiences of the
past have taught are forthcoming as
soon as conditions are found to war
rant them.
