To ILLUSTRATE
is To EDUCATE


BEGINNING with the Infant" class
In our public schools, the pupils are
taught by means of pictures. As
they advance to higher grades, illus
trations are still used as "ob5ect les
sons, and even in the higher grades
the text books are illustrated for the
purpose of more clearly setting forth
the intended meanings. College
and university curricuIa comprise
books in which the 5ubject matter is
made plain by pictures, and all sci
pnfiffc ana technical work every
where, ii accurately demonstrated
by diagrams and drawings.
Almost all of the periodicals. In
GLIDING dailies. weeklies and month
lies, are illustrated, and many
books of fiction, also s fllustra-
lions which bring out particular
points in the text.
1t has been left to the publish
ers of the Bible which the NEWS Is
distributing to illustrate this greatest
aof all historical and educational
works. The publication of this BIZ
BILE was undertaken with full knowl-
edge of the fact that there were al
ready in existence a considerable va
riety OF eminently satisfactory edi-
lions, some of them possessing a de-
gree OF merit that would seem to
render Improvement impossible. But
ali Of them, superb though they are,
lack one important feature, viz.
Direct and helpful illustration. The
New illustrated Bible supplies this
deficiency. In 1t the other essentials
az perfection have been retained
She typography, mechanical cxecu-
tion. self-pronouncing feature. ref
erences colored maps, etc, being UNI
sexceIled by any other edition; while
the hundreds OF original text Illus
traffons give to 1T d distinctive char
acter that entirely separates 1t from
all others.
This Bible is not a mere picture
book 1t is a high art production.
The 600 Illustrations are from orig

To this branch of the work were
called the greatest Of living artists,
and it is to their intelligent concep-
fion of the work, and to their mas
Eterly skill In the portrayal OF APP

excellence OF this Bible Is mainly
due. Every picture is q complete

Swindlehurst and Policeman Hansen,
and to the amazement Of the officers,
was found to be a well-known clerk.
The prisoner under cross examina-
ton broke down, telling the officers
that he had "been marked' before
birth, his mother having fallen into a
stream, and when dragged from the
water, was laid upon pile of women IS
clothing by his father.
The passion, declared the prisoner,
to attire himself in feminine garb and
disport himself in the water at night
for hours was ungovernable. He be-
came so proficient in the water that
though the Yellowstone river was high
and the waters turbulent he would
dive under the logs and easily swim
to safety when pursued. His garments
led to the belief he was woman. He
repeatedly escaped the officers even
at night, and during the winter he
would splash and swim. Chief Swindle-
hurst refused to divulge the man Is
name, as he fears it would cause him
to lose his position, but he will be kept
under police surveillance.

LESS ILLITERACY IN WEST.
Washington Not Only Leads Oregon
and California, but Is Ahead
Of Massachusetts.

Massachusetts,, habitat of the "high
Brow and native camping ground fol

centage of illiteracy in proportion to
population than her sister state OF
Washington, which appears to be toe
busy sending it's children to school
to make any pretensions in the mat.
ter of abstruse knowledge.
In its preliminary report Of sta.
tistics on illiteracy, just issued by
the bureau of the census, depart.
ment of commerce and labor, Massa.
chusetts' percentage is given as SO
and Washington, 81. The latter state
by the way, has a lower percentage
than it's two Pacific coast neighbors
Oregon showing a percentage of 3.3
and California of AS.
The number of illiterate persons in
the continental United States at the
census of 1910 was 5,516,693, as com
pared with 6,1sO,069 in 1900, a de-
crease in 10 years Of more than Co.,.
900 in number, and a decline from
1917 to TT per cent in the proportion
OF the population 10 years of age and
over.
Connecticut, and New York are the
only two states which show an in,
crease in illiteracy among the whites
ascribed by the bureau to the fact
that immigration has been particu
larly heavy during the last decade.

TO INCREASE WHEAT YIELD.
Dry Farming Means More Dollars
Farmers Should Know Soil
and Mako Tests

cit takes $50 pounds of water t,
make pound of wheat and $4,000
pounds of water to make a bushel,'
declared Dan Morgan, president of tn,
Lamont state bank, in recent ad
dress on the subject of CORY Farm
ing. Continuing he said, cone incl
rainfall on an acre of land weighs liz
tons and 12-inch rainfall means 1916
tons to an acre.
1.-The man who is unfortunate enough
to live in community that has less
than 10 inches of precipitation per an
mum is on dangerous ground. Sixty
three per cent of the United States is
dry farming; twenty-five per cent is
humid. Dry farming means from ten
to twenty inches of precipitation. In
the United States, one-fifth of the
dry farming territory is all that can
actually be brought under that
system-roughly speaking 100000, oOC
acres.
Simple Experiment.
GA simple experiment is to dig a
hole and fill it half full of water and
cover it with piece of sheet iron
Build a fire on it and time it to see
how quickly the water evaporates.
Then dig second hole and treat it in
the same way but put three inches of
loose soil over the hole before light
ing the fires. Time it again and note
how much longer the water takes to
evaporate. That is the principle of dry
farming. The mulch, the cultivated soil,
is what the farmer cultivates and
Keeps over the top Of his land to con-
serve its moisture.
Zone inch of rainfall would produce,
according to tests, two bushels and a
half of wheat. Ten inches would give
25 bushels, fifteen inches, 81 bushels.
II you lived in district where there
was IL inches Of rainfall, you could
conserve half that amount with deep
cultivation, blowing deep and the
mulch test.
First Test Of Wheat.
Twice as much water will come IN
through the cells, or the arteries Of a
t' 'ouSH thO SIOuuu tudC Is
well-filled and cultivated with this
mulch. I believe the time is coming
when the dry farming districts will
have an advantage over the humid
ones by the close buyer and business
men. The first test of wheat is the
water test and that is why bluestem
is worth more in humid region than
other wheat because it contains less
water. Inland Empire wheat, say
100000 bushels, when shipped to the
coast will measure 1,O25,0OO bushels
at the coast when it reaches the same
absorption as the wheat raised in an
other district.

same as a banker knows his ledger.

In Ohio SPEECH.
Theodore Says He Is Against William
Because Taft Proved Faithless to
Cause of American People-Upholds
Pinchot and CLAWS as Being Honest
Officials.

Cleveland, Ohio.-For an hour Col
onel Roosevelt faced large crowd in
the central armory here and struck blow
after blow at President Taft. He as
serted that the president had made un
truthful statements about him. He de
clared the president s action in the
Ballinger case was such that had he
taken similar course as president OF
bank, he would "have been in immi
nent danger of having the matter laid
before the district Attorney
One by one he took up points upon
which President Taft has assaulted him
and as he brought his speech to close
he said:
81 am against Mr.. Taft because Mr..
Taft proved faithless to the cause Of
the American people,"
Against Honest Oficials.
Colonel Roosevelt reference to the
Ballinger-Pinchot case was his first
extended discussion of the case in this
campaign. He asserted that Mr.. Taft
supported Mr.. Ballinger against every
honest official in the interior depart
ment, and especially against Clifford
Pinchot and Louis CLAWS.
"Glavis," he said, Hput into the
hands of tho president a detailed re-
port showing that the Cunningham
claims were fraudulent, as every one
knew and now admits that they were.
Mr.. Taft did not read the evidence in
the case and he actually placed the
direction Of the case in the hands of
Ballinger and signed the letter pre-
pared by Attorney Oscar Lawler in
Ballinger's office, which whitewashed
Ballinger and directed the expulsion
Of CLAWS from office.
Not Personally Read.
SIN this letter, Mr.. Taft stated with
the utmost clearness that his decision
was the result of his own personal
reading of the whole record, state
ment that was contrary to the facts,
and when the senate voted an inquiry
Of the subject and Mr.. Taft realized
the political Importance of having the
public remain ignorant that the white
wash letter had been drafted in Bal
linger's office and that he himself
had not read the evidence he answered
the popular demand for information as
expressed in the senate resolution.
"He deliberately suppressed the
Lawler memorandum upon which his
decision was based and sent to the
senate in its place brief signed by
Attorney General Wickersham dated
two days prior to the president IS de.
cision of the case in September, which
was about three months before it was
actually prepared.

cit was afterward discovered and
proven before the investigating COM
mittee by Louis J. Brandies that this
brief, put in evidence by the presi-
dent before the senate of the United
States as the basis of the decision
rendered by the executive as Judge
in the CLAWS Ballinger case, was not
in existence at the time Mr.. Taft rem
dered his decision; that at that time
