Like Seattle, Kansas city has been growing with extraordinary ra ; rta.u tt hts typographical features not unlike those of this city. It is prozperous and self-conhdent. it has been establishing a splendid parking system. and the current belief among its people k that Kansas City is des- tined to be among the great cities ai Inc country.

 Tho latter Is composed of business interests in the city; the general man ager and his associates are profession al administrators who have spent their lives preparing themselves to perform their duty; have begun in low and unmiportant positions and have been promoted from time to time because of their merit and efficiency. There is no politics in their choice: they are se- lected as the general manager of a railway is elected, because they are the most competent men available. and they perform their duties without re- gard to the effect upon the next cleo ton

INCUBATION OF THE SOILS
Summary Of Mississippi Experiment
Station Bulletin on Furnishing
Plant Food.

The following Is a summary OF Bull
letin No. 60 Mississippi experiment
station:
The air all about us is composed
principally of two free gases, oxygen
and nitrogen.
Leguminous plants, such as clover.
vetch, peas. beans, alfalfa, etc. are
able to take up the free nitrogen OF
the air and change 1t to a form that
can be used as food. A part of this
the plants use Immediately In grow-
ing and a part Is left in the ground
for the succeeding crop. These
leguminous plants are able to do this
by means of bacteria or germs that
grow on their roots and produce
nodules there.
In some soils these germs are not
present at all. while in some soils
they are present, but not In sufficient
numbers to produce the best results.
Such soils should be inoculated.
By incubation IL meant the adding
of the germs in some way to the soil.
Experiments with vetch have
shown that the crop is greatly in
creased by incubation, and at the
same time that nitrogen is added to
the soil. Experiments show that the
germs from one plant will inoculato
plants very closely related. But the
best results will probably be obtained
by using germs from the same species
of plant one wishes to inoculata

is a specialist in the former. has just
been lecturing about the latter. He
describes some acute forms of what
French actors call ''trac," one of the
worst forms of which produces a
deviation of the mouth which 1t is i'm
possible to overcome" The sufferers
talk out one side of their mouths, and
all their efforts to rid themselves of
this nervous affection are fruitless."
Their only remedy one imagines is to
give up acting. The lecturer quoted
also "twitches of the eye and feverish
palsy of the hands" as being among
the results of stage fright.
At the dress rehearsal of a play by
Sardou an actress violently scratched
the hands of the actor with whom she
was playing saying, How nervous /

nervousness since then, for the actress
was Mile. Blanche Dufresne, who for

cause is the lack of suitable seed beds

Experiments have shown that, while
it sends many of it's roots three or
four feet deep, the corn plant places
the great body of its feeding roots
from three to twelve inches below the
surface where the soil is made loose
enough by blowing or by frost to per-
NIT it. The roots send out in every
direction an infinite number of hair
like growths. which absorb moisture
and food On soils properly prepared
and in sections of fair rainfall the feed
ing ground for corn is usually from
two to twelve inches below the sur
