PERSIAN TREASURER GENERAL

One OF the most remarkable situa-
lions in history Is happening in the
case of the young American, William
Morgan Sinister, who, as treasurer
general of the Persian empire, has
been besting the .keenest diplomats OF
Europe for the past six months. This
young man is only thirty-four years
old and he started life as ste
nographer.
This youngster, who has one OF the
biggest contracts in the world on his
hands, was born in Washington. D. c.,
in 1877. His parents live there still.
After his graduation from Columbia,
Shuster obtained q position as a ste
nographer in the war department at
Washington. When the Spanish
broke out he was made assistant sec

before the OklanOma DdukcIS
Association by J. B. Adams Of
the Butler County Bank of FL
Dorado, Kan, the Oklahoma
bankers have ordered one thous.
and booklets on Kaffir corn cul-
ture printed and distributed a.
mong the farmers of Oklahoma.
The text of the book will be
largely takeE from the address
of Mr.. Adams, and will advocate
at least a partial substitution of
Kafiir corn for Indian corn as a
staple crop on every farm in the
state.
AS a direct result of their
small outlay in distributing these
booklets the Oklahoma bankers
expect large material return,
both to themselves and to the
farmers of the state. Mr.. Adams
told them a story of the success
of Kaffir corn growing in his
country which reads almost like
fairy tale, yet which is sub
stantiated by convincing figures,
how a change from Indian corn
to Kaffir corn has brought pros
perity to his entire country
through the yearly certainty of
crop from the latter grain.
The influence of the bankers
throughout Oklahoma toward the
development of Kafir corn cul-
ture will probably be as rapid
and potent a means of interest
ing the farmers in trying the
crop as could be employed. Espe-
cially in a comparatively new
country the local banker is per.
son of wide influence. This in
huence will be greatly aug
mented if the planting of a GER
tain amount of Kafir corn is
made one of the conditions of
every farm loan, as Mr.. Adams
suggested.
In connection with Mr.. Adams
speech it WILDE we'll to remem-
Der that Butler county, with the
exception of some fertile valleys,
is not ideally adapted to the
raising of Indian corn or many
other crops. Kaffir corn, how
ever, has proved a profitable
crop almost wherever planted
throughout the whole country.
Farmers of Oklahoma cannot,
perhaps, expect as great an in
crease in production and conSe'
quent prosperity as has marked
the Kafir corn experiment in Mr..
Adams county. Yet the SEEM
ing absolute certainty of the
crop and the rapidly increasing
demand for all this grain which
can be produced at an excellent
price seems to fully justify the
interest which the Oklahoma
bankers are taking in getting
the crop generally recognized in
this state.

STANDING UPRIGHT.


| Muscular Msehaniym.
We are SO accustomed to standing
upright as natural attitude that few
Of us think what special complex
mechanism is required for this pur.
pose. A moments consideration will
show that the ordinary explanation OF
the erect position (the center of gravi.
ty to be directly above the feet) is in.
sufficient. When man is suddenly
shot, whether from the front or behind.
he drops on bis face, for the truth is
that there Is much more weight In the
front of the spinal column than be
hind 1t.
The fact is that when we are stand
ing large number of powerful mus
cles (both front and back, are simul-
taneously at work, the effects of their
action being to neutralize each other
Thus the legs would fall forward were
it not that they are kept vertical on
the feet by the strong tendon the
Achilles) Mt the back of the heel
At the same time the muscles of the
thigh are tightened so as to prevent us
taking sitting position, and the mus
cles of the back are pulled tense SO that
the trunk does not stoop forward. The
head is prevented from dropping on
the chest by the ligaments In the nape
of the neck
That the upright Is not its normal
position is easily shown by the fact
that man mods as he is falling asleep,
for as soon as the controlling nervous
force is deadened the head drops for
ward by its own weight, only to be
pulled back into position again with
a jerk WREN the brain becomes sud
denly aware of an unusual attitude.
