Some Striking Facts.

In 1850 the population of the United
States was about 81 900 600. Fifty
years later, in 1910, it had increased to
over 93 millions. Twenty-Five years
hence it will probably be l40 millions,
and in fifty years approximately 200
millions. Coupled with the above in
crease in consumers, the consideration
of the bread supply-our wheat crop
is of prime Importance. For ten years
the United States wheat acreage has
been fairly stationary, about 40 millions
of acres. which is about one-half acre
to each person. The total yield per
annum has varied from 522 million to
74S million bushels, giving an average
of about $50 millions. The average
yield per acre has been about IA 3 bu.
shels-a little over * bushels per per-
son. The Old World average per acre
is from two to three times as much, on
ground that has been titled for many
centuries. Our Experiment Statiori

Water-Drinking With Meals

Pursuant TO tradition of long stand
ing, il is common custom to forbid
the drinking of water at meal time
There was a time when such advice ap-
peared most reasonable.
Professor Hawk and his pupils at the
University of Illinois have been inves-
tigating, during the past few years, the
correctness of the current attitude to-
ward this question, with results quite
at variance with the traditional idea.
When the influence of water-drinking
with meals was examined by direct ex-
pertinent on man the alleged direful
consequences were found missing.
There were no apparent i'll effects. On
the contrary, the general conclusion
from all the findings was that il water
is taken with meals there is a better
digestion and more complete utiliza-
tion Of food. A pronounced improve
ment in the digestibility of fat was
also observed.
| Since there is n constant tendency
at least among persons whose knowl-
edge OF the given subject is slight, to
carry to extremes conclusions derived
from experiments, il seems worth while
to add a warning against the indiscrim.
mate use of large quantities OF water
Furthermore, nothing that has beer
said is intended to lend any support
to the American custom OF drinking
water that is Ice-cold. The expert
ments of Hawk and his pupils indicat,
that our ideas with regard to the drink
ing OF water must be revised, but W,
must wait for reports OF observation,
from larger body of observers. II

the American Medical Association, W,

Young Man Freezes to Death.

Friday night about o'clock a strong
north wind came up bringing heavy
snow aud sending the thermometer to
IA degrees below zero in half hours
time Walter ID. Fall, who lives with
his mother Oh the George Burdge place
80 miles northeast of Hooker came to
town that night afoot to do some trad-
ing and stayed later than usual, in fact
until after midnight. When. he re-
marked about going home the men he
was with tried to pursuade him to stay
in town over night and not attempt
the trip as it seemed impossible for
any human being to face the storm the
distance ne would have to go before
reaching home. The young man was
obdurate, claiming his mother was
home alone and would be worried
about him and that he had purchased
some groceries and must take them
home, and several other excuses.
lie was allowed to 90 and the next
day ID. G. Harrington who lives near
the railroad about two miles from
town came in and reported to Deputy
Sheriff Henderson that dead man
had been found along the road and re.
quested him to investigate. Hender-
son in company with some other men
drove out to the place mentioned by
Harrington and found the frozen body
of the young man before mentioned
When found he had left his sack oI
groceries near the track and had gone
about quarter OF mile along the
road leading to his home. The snow
was disturbed in several places neai
where he lay, showing that he had
stumbled and struggled on several
times before giving up to the numbness
and drowsy feeling which is claimed
always precedes death by freezing

Beaver Boy Invents Air-Ship

James d. Niles Jr., has invented and
constructed model for an air-ship
that was exhibited in our town this
week. This model appears to be a
great improvement over any air mach
inc ever made and no doubt will make
Mr.. Niles fortune. The inventor is
son of Rev. Jas. d. Niles and has been
working on his new invention nearly
three years. His intentions are to
erect standard size and make fight
in Geary
The we'll known features and design
ing OF this craft are based upon the
following: Gravity balance, free mo-
tor and all the controlling system.
The designer of this craft has solved
the problem of building machine to
balance itself. The machine is made
after the monoplane type with a bio
plane frame. The machinery is all To-
Gated low in the frame and enables the
operator to overcome with safety the
many different currents of air. The
fact that the machinery being located
in the bottom OF the craft insurine
safety to the AVIATOR against being cap
sized. Another feature of this craft
is the opera tion of free motor making
ascending and decendinP safe The
motor is operated with clutch which
makes the machine more easily con-
trolled. The operation of this craft is
very simple, being controlled by hand
and foot doing away with the uncom.

 The market had a steady undertonS throughout the morning and bearish influences did not have their usual effect. This was due to much gos- sip of a blrllish nature regarding re- ports on condition by private crop reporting bureaus. No figures came out during the morning, but it was re ported that one well-known bureau was about to make an estimate of condition. Shorts covered and therd was moderate amount of buying for long account.
