ACREAGE
SOWN TO WHEAT
BY GOVERNMENT ON
WORLD CONDITIONS INCLUDES
THIS STATEMENr-YIELD Is
DISAPPOINTING.

Washington, d. c. While this
years world acreage sown to wheat
doubtless was the largest in history
1850 900, 900 acres-it is not unlike
ly says the department of agriculture
that exports will be short of the high
record Of last year-3,624,000 bu-
shells. The crop reporter of the de-
partment today says:
The total acreage was doubtless
the largest in history, the normal
world area about 235,0O0.0c0 acres
having been heavily increased this
year by the additional sowings in
Russia and Canada. Up to July,
when a fair crop had already been
gathered in Argentine and an excel
lent one in British India, the prospect
was for a world crop, heavier than
the preceding one, but the drought of
that month in the spring wheat belts
of North America and Russia and the
wet. cool summer in France are be-
lieved to have resulted in serious
losses. Ii
When the final figures are made up,
1t will not be surprising to fn6 the
total world yield, short of the; high
record Of last year. The crop sqrss,

METHODIST HOSPITAL
is TO Be LOCATED
CONFERENCE WHICH MEETS
HERE IN OCTOBER WILL LO-
CATE TT-HURON is MAX
ING STRING BID.

Redfeld, S. D.-While Huron peo-
pie will not be able to receive a def
mite report before October relative
to the offer which the Commercial
club and Beadle county has made to
the Methodist conference for the To-
cation of the state Methodist hospital
there, yet the promoters of the pro-
ject to secure the institution may be
assured that Huron now stands as the
most favorable location and, in all
probability will secure the valuable
prize according to late advices from
that city. The committee which was
appointed at the conference last year
in Huron has been investigating the
different offers made by cities of the
state and have been considering va
rious locations. Hot Springs made
an offer, but it was definitely decided
that the institution should be located
east OF the Missouri river. Huron
has offered the conference $4,000
and a suitable site and this combined
with the advantages Of the city as q
central location will undoubtedly
bring the institution there.
Mitchell at the present time seems
to be the only competitor but owing
to the fact that another hospital Of
large size is located there and that
the Methodist college is established
in that city is not probable that the
new hospital will go there. The COM
mittee is to submit its report to the
conference which meets at Mitchell
in October and at that time the loca-
tion will be definitely determined.

new RECORD MADE
IN FAIR ATTENDANCE
10000 SAID TO HAVE SEEN
STATE EXPOSITION YESTER.
DAY. LARGEST IN FAIRS
HISTORY.

Huron, s. D.-Yesterday was the
banner day of the South Dakota state
fair, the attendance running above
10000, which is by far the largest
number Of people that have ever at
tended the fair In one day. The
day was also made notable by the
breaking Of the state record for a
half mile track race when DR.. T. p.
won the final heat in the 1912 pace,
in the fast time of 2:10 Ia.
Awards were made for the county
exhibits and Clark county carried OF
first honors, forcing Kingsbury coun-
ty, which was first last year, into
second place.
Minnehaha was awarded fifth on
county exhibit, but was pronounced
first In point of artistic arrangement
of its display.
Mrs. l.. r. Bard and Mrs. G.
Baard, both of Esmond, we're struck
by an automobile while viewing the
exhibits at the state fair yesterday.
Both women were badly injured, and
the former may not recover. The
automobile was driven by a farmer,
inexperienced by handling his ma.
chine. The woman who is more ser.
iously injured may have sustained
internal injuries, as one of the
wheels passed directly over he alb
domen. Both women were taken tt
the hospital, and the farmer placed
under Arrest, though he was released
a short time afterward.

LOCKJAW CAN BE CURED.
But It Takes Quick Work and

From Harper's Monthly.

| From Harper's Monthly
The popular belief that a wound from,
treading on a rusty nail is very likely
to cause tetanus is quite correct. This is
not because it is a nail or is rusty, but
because by lying on the ground it has
become infected with the germs of lock
jaw. Moreover, as the punctured wound
caused by the nail bleedS but little and
this blood dries up and excludes the air,

sato, the japanese bacteriologist. proved,
the absence of oxygen is most favorable
to the growth of this germ.
The germ itself looks very much like
tack, so virulent that it's toxin in
doses of 1-2CO,OOOth of a teaspoonful will
kill a mouse. 1t has been found by eX-
pertinent that the poison is carried up
to the spinal cord not by the absorbents
or the blood vessels, as are other polSonS,
but through the motor nerves.
Fortunately an anti-pOison or antidote
has sbeen developed. but so prompt is the
action of the poison that in an animal
two minutes after the injection of fatal
dose of the poison twice as much of the
remedy is required as if it had been ad-
ministered with the poison; after eight
minutes ten times the amount and after
ninety minutes forty times the original
amount is necessary. This antitoXin is
entirely harmless.

feared the antitoxin is used as pre-
ventive, and when it has developed as a
cure. In animals, for naturally horses
suffer enormously more frequently than
man. the same antitoxin is used. In 163
horses that had operations performed on
them, but were protected by the anti
toxin, not one developed tetanus, whereas
of eight cases unprotected by the anti
toxin five developed tetanus.

Sea No Longer Lures Boys.
Bangor tMe.) Letter in New York Sun.

Bangor (Me.) Letter in New York Sun.
Many of the vessels leaving here fol
coal and other ports within the past three
weeks have been handicapped owing to
the shortage Of men. Capt. George w
Bunker says that about all the men in
the service nowadays come from foreign
countries. For a number of years past,
he said, there has been a decrease in
the number of native-born people who
have shipped before the mast. Formerly.
when the American flag was carried into
every harbor on the face of the globe,
the hardy sons of this country were evel
in evidence. The conditions existing did
not appeal to them, however, aDd many
left the service. This has continued, un-
til today there is hardly decent repre-
sentation, and the life seems to hold no
attractions whatever for the boys living
in the seacoast cities and towns.
"A different situation prevails in the
fishing business, about all the vessels be-
ing manned by native sailors. This is
due In a measure to the fact that about
all the vessels in the business are owned
wholly or in part by the fishermen them
selves. In many of the island towns the
young men club together and with the
money accumulated buy or build a suit
able vessel. This results in the estab-
liShment of business institution
The men are Away within reach OF
home. and they are allowed the oppor-
tunity of visiting home weekly and in
many cases daily. Working on a coop
erative basis. the men are successful.
That the sea has been robbed of one
of its strongest lures for young America
by the construction of vessels which real
~ defy the storms is something else that
has to be reckoned with when figuring
out what has caused the shortage. The
spirit OF daredeviltry Unborn in the aver
age American allures him to the life OF
sailor. The spectacular side of the
business was a strong appealing force
This has called hundreds of men before
the mast, and the tales recited by the
old-timers in the coast cities have stirred

PHYSIQUE OF COLLEGE MEN.
Improvement in Those Who Receive
Gymnasium Training.
le American Educational Review

From the American Educa tional Review.
That the American college students are
growing stronger as result of physical
education seems to be proved by the re-
cent Investigations made by DR.. Mchen-
zie Of the University Of Pennsylvania
and DIR. Born of Yale.
The latest statistics. 1909, show that
over 80 per cent of the seventy-three
leading American colleges and univer-
sites require physical education from the
freshman year 70 per cent require it
from freshmen and sophomores, 30 per
cent require it from the three lower
classes and II per cent from a.! four
classes.
DR.. Born says that a study of the rec
ord kept of the weights and measure
ments not only demonstrates that there
has been an increase in the growth power
of the students, but also corroborates the
assertion that the youth of the present
day are better developed physically than
those of past generations.
The increase in weight Of the typical
individual Of the foot ball group is un-
usually small. Many hypothesis might
be advanced in explanation of this fact,
but after a careful study of this slight
growth increment we have concluded
that the foot ball type represents a
group of young men Of superior physical
endowment and vitality who reach that
disappears much earlier than the aver
age, usually during their preparatory
school course In such cases there Is an
inherent tendency to a more rapid de-
velopment supplemented by an extra
ordinary capacity for physical work.
THE base ball and crew candidates
show a more decided change, for in these
groups we find a few men of the foot
ball type but more of those individuals
who follow the general law of develop
ment. In the remaining groups We note
larger increases. for here we come in
contact with the average student.
"Our attention is called to the exceed
ingly small increase in lung capaci-
ty of the track athlete. only twenty
cubic inches This is not unusual, how
ever, for we have found that in many
track athletes. especially the long-dis-
lance and cross-country runners, the lung
capacity was only average and sometimes
below normal.
From our observations we believe that
in this type of athlete the breathing
must be shallow and confined to the
lower parts of the lungs the bases, In
order that the equilibrium between the
production of the waste matter in the
muscles and it's elimination from the
blood through the lungs may be quickly
re-estabfished, condition called second
wind. and always SO necessary to the
runner"

Serious Humor.

This nation prides itself on possessing
a great sense of humor. 1t is undoubted-
ly true that the American is quick to see
an ordinary joke; and it is equally true
that he is quick-quicker. perhaps, than
all Europeans-to grasp an ordinary idea
of any kind. Both propositions simply
mean that he has unusual mental alert

fore we can rise to the highest internal
