It is doubtful whether Wallace Bass

Is prouder of his native Missouri because
II is the leading community in the produc-
tion of metals. as shown by recent
government bulletin, or because it is the
only state in the world where the bull

We've got 'em in Missouri as big as

his hands so that they would indicate the
size of a turkey.

was listening.
-All right" said Bassford, Missouri

The picture shows three of the leading
frog hunters of Joplin, Mo-. which is in
the southwest corner of the state, in an
extremely rich country, where the men
grow six feet tall and the bullfrogs six
feet long-or eighteen inches long to be
exact. The photograph, reproduced here,
shows George Livermore, Lee Head and
Harry Rodgers. who went out with an
acetylene lamp and caught frogs of
enormous size and weight. Lee Head
and Wallace Bassford were school chums
in Missouri several years ago.
Some of the frogs strung out on the

MERCHANTS WANT
BETTER LIGHTING
Appeal Made for improved
Facilities on Squares in
Business Section.

Asserting that the heart of the city
has been left more or less lightless.
while other sections have been dealt
with generously in the matter of light
ing, representatives of the Retail Mer-
chants Association appeared before the
District Commissioners today and re-
quested that steps be Immediately
taken to provide the section between
7th and 18th streets and Pennsylvania
and New York avenues with increased
illumination.
The electrical department already has
worked out the general features of a
new lighting system for this section,
but 1t is planned not to begin installa-
tion of the improvement until the de-
partment has had opportunity to study
the results of a new tyne Of arc lamp
to be placed on Pennsylvania avenue
between Peace monument and the
Treasury.
1t is this prospective delay which the
Retail Merchants Association objects to.
Headed by George Topham, chairman,
committee of the association, composed of
Frank R. Jelleff. Charles G. Stott, Sidney
West and Charles j. Columbus, secretary,
made it plain to the Commissioners this
morning that business men in the section
north of Pennsylvania avenue want more
Submits a Report.
Mr.. Topham presented a report adopted
by the board of governors of the asso-
citation which stated that the tax paid on
F street and G street property is far in
advance of that paid on real estate in
other sections where much better light
ing has been provided. 1t is declared
that there is but little use in storekeepers
lighting their windows if the thorough
fares are dimly lighted.
Letters from DIR. Randolph III. McKim,
pastor Of the Church of the Epiphany,
at 14th and G streets, and Mgr. Will
Church. 10th and G streets, favoring
better lighting for the section referred
to, were read by Secretary Columbus.
A letter from E. c. Graham, a member
of the committee, who was unable to
attend the hearing. also was read
Early Decision Expected.
The Commissioners, it is expected,
will make an early announcement as
to whether the original plans of the
electrical department will be adhered
to or immediate provision made for in
ness area between the limits mentioned.
Work on the installation of l,500-can-
dlepower lamps on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. will be started within a few days,
and probably will be completed by
Christmas.
Walter C. Allen, electrical engineer of
the District. expects to have the new
lights on Pennsylvania avenue turned

BEYOND PAGES OF HISTORY
Primitive Race Of Man Existed In Az
RIGA Before Years Began to
Be Counted.

primitive race Of men existed IN
South Africa according to a recent
interesting discovery of DR.. Broom Of
Germiston. This scientists archaeo-
logical and geological researches have
made his name familiar to scientists
In Europe and America. Some time
ago, hot spring was discovered thir-
ty miles north of Bloemfontein and In
the course of operations designed to
open up the eye of the spring, 1t was
necessary to tunnel into a sandhill.
In the trend Of operations the work
men came upon quantity Of NAM
malian remains associated with hui
man implements and quantity OF
charred wood. The significance of the
discovery was not realized by the first
finders, but, fortunately, Dutch lady
in the district suspected that they had
scientific value, and prevented the
finds from being dispersed. DR.. Broom
went down and examined them. He
found that the bones were chiefly
those of hippopotami Gland, bubauls
baini (the huge extinct boffalo Of
South Africa, whose horns used to at
tain span Of IL feet), equis capensis
(the gigantic Cape horses long since
extinct which far exceeded the
Clydesdale in size), an extinct variety
Of wild beasts, the wart hog, and
number of small buck. Previous dis
coveries had caused scientists to be-
lieve that man had lived in South AZ
RIGA contemporaneously with the ex-
tinct giant buffalo, but the proofs
available were inconclusive. DR..
Broom regards this discovery as prov
ing their co-existence beyond doubt

YIN DEVELOPING the dairy breeds
of cattle, the method pursued has
been that of selecting the highest
and most economical producers as
breeding stock. This method has
evolved what is known as the dairy
type, and our best producing families
adhere closely to this type. Occasion
ally we find good dairy COW that
departs from the recognized dairy
type in some respects, but these are
exceptional. Likewise we find cows OF
ideal type that give poor account of
themselves at the pail. These, too,
are unusual. The right method for
the breeder to pursue is to look to
both type and performance, for only
by this system can he hope to have
the greatest success.
A COW of the dairy type is one that
carries relatively small amount of
flesh. She has soft yellow skin, fine
hair, broad muzzle lean face, bright,
prominent, yet mild, eyes, long thin
neck, spare shoulders, sharp withers,
deep, thick chest, a strong straight
back, well sprung ribs, long deep body,

long, level, wide loin and rump, prom
inent hip bones, thin cat hams, rather
short legs, well balanced udder of
good mellow quality, extending well
forward and we'll up behind, we'll
rounded, capacious, with teats of me-
dunn size and rather wide apart, and
milk veins that are large, long crook
ed, branching, and enter the body by
large openings, or milk wells.
In the dairy bull we desire a mas
culine head and horn, bright eye, rath-
er heavy neck, more massive shout
ders and heavier thighs than the fe-
male. We want the same long, deep,
heavy body. long, level rump, strong
straight back, short well-placed legs,
and soft yellow skin desired in the
dairy COW. One point upon which there
is some difference of opinion is the
rudimentories, or teats. However,

A LITTLE CAREFUL STUDY AT THIS TIME
IN SELECTING A DAIRY SIRE WILL PAY
Prof. s. Neal the Extension Division of the State Agricultural
College, Offers Some Suggestions for Breeders Who
Wish to Build Up Their Honest
Pays to Buy fine Best

most breeders agree that 1t Is import
ant that these be placed wide apart
and of good size. In selecting the
bull, the type and characteristics of
the ancestry should be studied, as he
will probably transmit many of these
characteristics. Avoid bull whose
dam is of wild, excitable disposition,
has misshapen udder or any particu-
larly Objectionable features. A little
careful study at this time will be of
great profit in the future. 1t is said
that the sire is half the herd, but in
grading up he is more than half, and
great care should be used in his selec.
ton, remembering that it will pay to
buy the best, even at high price,
rather than take something inferior
in quality.
After having chosen good bull,
plan to keep him as long as he can be
used Never dispose of him till his
daughters have been in milk long
enough to know what they will do.
This will mean that he must be kept
at least four years. Many of the best
breeding bulls have been sold for

Thousands of dollars are lost every
gear by cabbage growers because Of
black rot. This disease is present in
all cabbage producing localities. 1t at
tacks the cabbage at all stages of de-
velopment. other plants. especially
cauliflower. are liable to its ravages.
The disease usually shows itself dur
ing August and September The most
favorable conditions are attained when
the nights are cool and damp and the
days warm the most unfayorable
when dry and the temperature UNI
varying.
Once the disease is present in a
field 1t will always be found there.
Some year when conditions are favor
able it will ruin the crop.
It's presence is first to be noticed on
the leaves Of the cabbage. Yellow
areas will be seen. These enlarge,
darken and dry. The germ causing
the disease passes down the food veins
in the plant blackening them as they
go. Their presence can be told by
holding the leaves toward the light.
The veins will be brown, instead Of
white. Also If the stem is cut across
blackened ring will be in evidence.

slaughter before their value was dis
covered. In some cases it may be a
good plan to breed this sire to his
own daughter. This should be done
only in case Of high class sire, coming
from ancestry Of excellent individual
merit and production. In-breeding
should never be practiced where any
weakness of constitutional vigor is APP
parent in the bull, his ancestry or
progeny. 1t must be remembered that
in this system the apparent, or in
herited, characteristics of the sire will
be intensified and that weak points
are more apt to be inherited than de-
sirable ones. In grading up the herd
improvement can often be secured
faster by in-breeding and in the hands
of careful breeders has often been
used successfully. However, its gen.
eral use cannot be advised.

ThImbIe Club Fun.

A club composed of a dozen girls
who met to sew and read once in two
weeks had this amusing pastime at
one OF their social meetings. The
hostess gave each girl tape needle
threaded with baby ribbon; there were
four OF rose color, four Of blue and
four of lavender. There we're four
card tables In the living room, each
covered with the linen to match the
ribbons. The girl with blue found their
table, likewise the others, and the
hostess passed charming Sewing com
panions," made OF ribbon with tiny
scissors, needle book and emery; a
safety pin was attached to the bow at
the belt, so they we're Immediately
pinned on and we're most appropriate
souvenirs. In the center Of the tables
there was tray Of needles, assorted
sizes, and a spool of number seventy
thread. When the bell rang, the play
ers started to thread needles and stick
them into cardboard Il think bits
Of flannel would be better and easier).
At the end of four minutes the bell
rang again, score was taken and the
couple who had succeeded in thread
ing the most needles went to the next
table.
Three rounds of four minutes each
completed this game and the couple
having the highest score we're present
ed with silk workbags.. Progressive
needles" was voted great success.
Next the hostess asked them to choose
sides, first appointing captains, and
there were six on side lined up and
the girls opposite each other we're
partners for this contest; one line OF
girls held big needles and those across
from them had coarse threads; at
signal they rushed at each other and
the couple who had their needle
threaded first received prizes Of pa
pers Of needles and spools of thread.
The winning couple sat down and the
rest tried the same thing over again.
l think this party scheme could be
carried out In the evening and boys
asked to be the girls partners. am
sure it would be loads of fun.
