In the National race since the last re-
view the Chicago Cubs made the greatest
improvement. gaining II points in per-
centage and moving into second place
only 9 points back of New York. which
gained IL points. Pittsburg gained =
points. losing second place. and missing
the chance to remain tied with Chicago
by dropping yesterdays game to Cincin-
natl. Though the Giants only lead the
Chicago by points and the Pitts
burgers by only II. they have the great
advantage of finishing the season at home
while the immediate contenders will be
Aghting it out on forengn diamonds. There
may be no good reason why club should
play better at home than abroad-and not
all clubs do ii at that-but as rule they
do. particularly the Giants, and that is
the bunch upon which the Giants ulti-
mate success is predicted.
There is a possible trade in the dim
distance between the Nationals and New
York Yankees but 1t will not be First
Baseman Hal Chase. Chase would not do
down here. and the chances are big that
Magnate Farrell will not let him out UNI
der any circumstances. There are one
or two others in the Yankee ranks who
look very sweet to Manager Cantillon and
whose batting strength is just about
needed to make the Nationals dark
horse in the pennant race next year.

Wpsted Road Money.

In recent speech at Peoria, II. H.
Gross, secretary of the Farmers Good
Road League and special agent for the
National Department Of Agriculture to
study the question of highways, made
the following statement: I'm forty
years enough money has been thrown
away and squandered on the dirt roads
of Illinois to pay for graveling or mac
adamizing every foot of highway in
the State" He went on further to
state that as good, hard roads could
be built on the black land In the ccrn
belt of Illinois as in Massachusetts, or
in any other State, and at moderate
annual expense to the landowners of
the State, possibly not exceeding their
present annual tax for road and bridge
purposes.

This mighty reptile was one of the
ancient inhabitants of Montana and
fiourlshed some three or more millions
of years ago, during the upper cretac-
eous period, near the close Of the age
OF reptiles. One Of the remarkable
features Of the beast was that In his
large head, nearly four feet long by
two feet wide, there were some 1000
teeth, the greatest number possessed
by any animal in the world.
This dental battery was used in
nibbling fruits and tearing up and
munching various water plants and
other soft substances which grew on
the lake and river bottoms, as the
dlnosaur was entirely herbivorous. The
simple teeth were closely packed to-
gether. were rod-like and single rooted,

and the outside in the upper jaw.
As the teeth were worn away an
other row appeared on the cutting sur
face and took their place. Each jaw
has from forty-flve to sixty vertical
and from ten to fourteen horizontal
rows Of teeth.
The mouth, which broadened out in
the shape Of duck-like bill, was COW

ed the petrlfed remains of one OF the
most complete fossil specimens Of mod
ern times.
The quarry in which the skeleton
had been buried some three millions
of years is situated 130 miles north
west of Miles City, on Crooked Creek,
Central Montana, perhaps the most in
accessible spot in America.
The country for miles around was ih
remote times the bed of a great lake
or inland sea, and the bodies of these
aquatic trachodons when they died be-
came imbedded in the mire of the lake
and sea bottoms. When in the course
Of ages the water disappeared and the
mud hardened into rock their skele-
tons were preserved in petrified state.
In this primeval sea and around its
shores lived during the cretaceous age
numerous hOrdes Of the great scaly-
coated trachodOns, who walked erect
on their massive hind limbs and waded
about IN the swamps and marshes
searching for food. Along with the
trachodons there lived at the same
time two fierce types of carnivorous
dinosaurs, namely, the tyrannosarus,
and the three-horned monster, the tri-
ceratops. These were the deadly enc
mics Of the trachodons and constantly
attacked and preyed upon them.
The remains of the dinosaurs of her
hlvOrous types are more frequently
found than those of the fiesh-eating
dinosaurs, and their skeletons are like
wise preserved more complete, all the
parts being usually united together
Remains of large carnivorous dinosaurs
are never found intact, but scattered.

HIS TERRIBLE. EYES.
Senator Cass Could Almost ParaIyze
Man With a Look.

Senator Cass Could Almost ParaIyze
Man With n Look.
Giant heads, bodies and brains were
Webster and Cass. All the strength of
New Hampshire granite was concen-
trated in those two sons. To look upon
them made the ordinary man feel
small. Wonderful eyes they possessed,
and men have been known to shiver
with dread when one or the other al
lowed his glance to fall upon them.
Cass could look through stranger in
way to make his brain burn and his
knees knock together. One searching
stare seemed to destroy all mentality
and fill the victim with paralytic emo
tlons.
No man dared take liberties with
Cass. In 1916 the proprietor of the
National hotel in Washington was a
man who so closely resembled the
great senator from Michigan that he
was often mistaken for him. An old
friend, returning from a journey. en-
tered the lobby, and. seeing him lean
Ing against the desk, slipped up be-
hind and hit him a terrific whack on
the shoulder, saying cheerily and ST.
multaneously 'Hello, old man! Here
l am back again. How are your"
Senator Cass Strengthening up his six
feet three and, turning upon the assail-
ant his terrific, bloodshot eyes, almost
annihllated him with a look. Not a
word was spoken. That look was am
pie. The stranger was so "rattled"
that he could not even apologize, but
skunk dejectedly out of the hotel.
Later in the day when congress was
supposed to be in session the stranger
returned to the hotel to shake hands
with the proprietor and tell him all
about the Cass Incident. Walking
bravely up he laid his hand down on
his friends shoulder and, without wait
ing for a greeting, surprised him with !:
See here, old fellow, you got me in
deuce Of scrape this morning.
Why, you know, took old Cass for
you, slapped him on the back, nearly
taking off shoulder, and the old fool
looked at me as IL he wanted to COM
NIT murder The darned old lunatic,
why doesn't he stay out Of here? He
knows" Again the great senator
from Michigan Strengthened up his six
feet three, again he turned his blood
shot eyes, again he looked and again
the victim fled. Two mistakes Of that
kind in one day!

at the loco problem. and G. d. Marsh,
expert In poison plants, reports that
it has been found that locoed cattle
can In most cases be cured by a course
Of treatment with strychnine. while
locoed horses can generally Be cured
by a course of treatment with Fow-
ler's solution. The animals under
treatment must not be allowed to eat
the loco weed and should be given not
only nutritious food, but so far as pos
sible, food with laxative properties,
To this end magnesium sulphate was
administered to correct the constipa-
ton which is almost universal among
locoed animals. 1t should be noted,
too, that magnesium sulphate may
serve to some extent as an antidote to
the poison.
1t may be added In regard to the
question of immunity that loco poison
ing comes on in slow and cumulative
manner, so that there Is no possibility
Of animals becoming immune.

draft, does not require sharpening so
often, cuts through trash better and
does not clog so easily. Do not try to
cut furrow wider than eight or ten
inches with disk. The wider the fur
row the deeper will corrugations be

better to use two twenty-four-inch

The Qualify Of Mercy.

The notorious mountain moonshiner,
famlllarly known as Wild Bill, was
tried before federal court in Georgia
and was adJudged guilty. Before pro-
nouncing sentence the judge lectured
the prisoner on his long criminal rec
ord and at last informed him that the
court entertained no feeling of anger
toward him, but felt only unmixed pity,
sentenced him to spend six years "

Bill stolidly shifted the quid Of to-

the courtroom with the marshal. Once
outside the only thing he said was this /:

Soon afterward another ranchman,

Cabbage Worms.


When the first appearance of the
worm Is made the plants should be
busted with the paris green and -four
mixture. When the heads are forming
use one pound of pyrethum powder to
four pounds Of -four to dust the plants
This is harmless to man. After the
head begins forming paris green should
not be used Those who are afraid
to use paris green are generally success
full by beginning early to use the py-
vethum powder and spraying often.
Cabbage and other plant lice are best
controlled by spraying with kerosene
emulsion, using the Is per cent solution
"A solution containing Is per cent of
kerosene. If the lice are on trees
flowers or rose bushes, tobacco decoc-
tion may be used with good results.
The tobacco decoction is made by TAX
ing three pounds of tobacco stems and
five gallons OF water and boiling for
two hours. 1t is used without diluting
but must not be applied too hot, or it
may scald the plants.
If treatment is begun in time plant
lice can be controlled. 1t must be done
before the leaves are curled so the
spray can reach the pests. There
should be several .spraylngs, four or
five days apart, as one spraying will
not completely do the work. Clean cul-
ture is important in fighting these in
sects, as with many others.

Besides the two varieties named,

The white is one of those beautifully

that 1t is tremendous cropper, and it
