J.P. MORGAN DEAD
AMERICAN FiNANcIER r sUccUMes

ILLNESS.
EMPEROR OF FINANCE

KNEW OF HIS FATAL
ATTACK.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York, March 31.-J. Pierpont
Morgan is dead. He died at 1906,
made by the offices of j.. P. Morgan
& Co. today.
Announcement of the death was
not made to the awaiting newspaper
men for some time after the end
came, the information being held up
until private cables could be sent to
the London and New York houses of
Morgan.
The end came peacefully, while
Morgan was still unconscious.
Herbert L. Satterlee, Mrs. Satter-
lee, daughter of the financier, Prof.
Bastianelli, Doctors Starr and Dixon
and other members of the Morgan
party were at the bedside, but for
hours before his death the banker
gave no sign of consciousness.
His daughter, Mrs. Satterlee, visit
ed Morgan's bedside at IL a. m. and
again near noon. Her father was then
unconscious and she remained but a
moment.
Throughout the day the Satterlee's IS
and other members of the Morgan
party remained in the adjoining room
awaiting the end, which the physi
clans told them was not far off.
Morgan's collapse was attributed to
the strain incident upon his appear
10 vii hnf hn hi
money trust" committee in Washing
ton, according to the statement of DR.
M. Allen Starr, the eminent nerve
specialist, who was attending the fl
nancier.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-04-05

During the day messengers from
King Victor Emanuel, Pope Plus and
the British, German and Greek en-
basies, called at the Grand hotel to
inquire after Morgan's health.
At the hour when Morgan's pulse
was 14O and his temperature 104, his
respiration was 4S and the doctors
said his death might be a matter of
only hours.
Morgan passed away after one
week of critical illness and he was
for the most part unconscious since
last Wednesday. The last words he
uttered were said on that day when
he aroused himself and asked that
his legs be massaged, treatment
that before had relieved him when he
suffered from nervous disorders.
Early in February, while Morgan
was making a trip up the Nile to his
excavations in specially constructed
boat, he was attacked by acute indi-
gestion and lapsed into a state of
coma in which he remained for twen-
ty-four hours.
The sudden end of his Nile trip
was a great disappointment to Nor
gan.
Aboard the specially built boat were
eighteen women friends of Mrs. Sat
terlee and the banker had counted
on leisurely river trip to last sew
eral weeks.
The boat was luxuriously equipped
and stocked for regal entertainment.
The aged financier realized that it
possibly would be his last trip to the
Egyptian excavations in which he had
taken such interest and when illness
cut short his tour, he grieved greatly.
Anaema of the brain was one of the
direct causes of dissolution.

seed than a rich soil, and sandy soil
more than a clay soil, as rule. Va
rieties like the New Era, which Is
early, and which has little tendency
to vine, will yield more peas than a
later-vining variety like the Clay.
Another means OF putting in peas
that are to be cultivated is by means
of a grain drill, where part of the
holes are stopped. Where every third
hole is allowed to run and care Is
used in driving, the rows can be
placed about 80 inches apart, which is
a good distance.
The advantages usually realized
from growing cowpeas are: ~ They
add nitrogen to the soil. This is one
OF their most valuable qualities, since
most of our soils are lacking in this
important element. Unlike cereal
crops, cowpeas, along with clover, al
falia and soy beans. have the power
of taking nitrogen from the air. (2)
They improve the physical condition
of the soil. 1t is commonly observed
that after a crop of cowpeas the soil
is usually loose, making it especially
suited to corn-growing. (S) CowpeaS

There is wide range in the time
at which cowpeas may be sown, even
in the same locality In central Mis-
souri, the best time to sow for hay or
seed Is about the first Of June. A
mistake is frequently made In sowing
them early in May, since period Of a
few cool days after they are up is sure
to stunt them and prevent the best
growth. The ground should be warm
before they are put in. They may be
sown as late as the first week in July
in central Missouri, while in the ex-
IRENE southern part of the state peas
sown the middle of July will usually
give good results. AS general rule
they should be sown in most parts of
the state between the first and fif-
teenth of June.
Method Of Seeding.

THE ACRE YIELD CORN CONTEST
FOR 1918.
The Acre Yield Corn Contest for 1918

The Mems Acre Yield Contest was
organized in January, 1912, and
prizes were given at the last State
Corn Show for the largest certified
yield of corn from measured acre
While the list of entries in this class
was small, there was a great deal OF
interest shown in the reports which
came in from the various sections
of the State. The awards in this
acre yield class we're based upon (1)
pounds of dry corn per acre; (2) the
score OF a ten-car sample selected
from the acre; (3) the practicability
OF the methods used In producing the
corn, and a. the net profit secured
from the acre of corn.

should prove popular. for after all, the
methods of producing the largest
number of bushels per acre and the
cost Of production are the vital cues.

the amount of seed formed. On the
rate of three pecks per acre, but, ex-
cepting for seed purposes or on land
particularly adapted to the crop, such
as the lowlands of south Missouri,
this is rarely enough.
For seed purposes, cowpeas are best
sown somewhat thinner than for hay,
three pecks usually being better than
five. They should not be broadcasted
either for hay or for seed on the up
lands of the state. Such method Is
wasteful of seed and uncertain of
stand, They may be sown for seed
with the cornplanter and cultivated,
making the rows the same distance
apart as for corn, or the rows may be
placed at half the distance of corn
rows. by going over the land twice
and straddling every other row. In
this case they are more difficult to
cultivate, as the rows are too close for
convenient cultivation. 1t is usually
necessary in this case to take off one
shovel on each gang of a six-shovel
cultivator, and, if the axle is adjust
able, to so set the wheels as to avoid
running on two rows while cultivating
third.
Peas sown at the usual rate for hay
generally make a good yield of seed
in favorable seasons. AS matter OF
fact, the yield of threshed peas de-
ponds not only upon the season, but
also upon the soil and the variety. A

for planting an acre of ground is con-
siderable more than for corn. Using

A difficulty commonly met with in
growing cowpeas for hay comes in
curing. 1t usually requires some ex

The members Of the Missouri Corn

every energetic corn grower in Mis-

this work.

his seed early in the fall, stored it in

Up to thirty years ago few native

or more in every large city Of the in
terror, says the New York Journal.
While Chinese newspapers were of
small size formerly and printed hardly
anything but local items, they now
contain an ever increasing number Of
business advertisements, including
those of European firms, and late com
mercial, technical and foreign news Is
also published. About twenty period
icals are published in China in Eng
lish, French and German for the bene-
fit of the Europeans living there, but
they are all small papers, with one
exception.
The Chinese are the greatest con-
sumers of old newspapers in the world
The official returns of the custom
house at Newchwang state that that
port alone in 1911 received 1918 tons
of old European newspapers, valued
at $3,OOO,OOO.
1t is not at first easy to discover to
what use so much obsolete news can
be put. However, we gather that the
middle class Chinese prefer newspaper
to the native variety as covering for
their walls. 1t has greater power of
resistance and affords n more effective
barrier to the invasions of the vernin

Moreover, the natives are experts at
cutting out of the newspapers waist
coats, which they wear next to the
skin. These paper waistcoats are said
to be the best possible protection
against a sudden cold snap. In view
of these admirable uses to which Eu-
ropean newspapers may be put it Is
not surprising to learn that the i'm

The Land Of Yesterday

If one could only find the way
Into the land of yesterday
How L would thrust the miles aside
Rush up the quiet lane and then,
Just when her roses laughed in pride,
Find her among the flowers again.
I'd slip in silently and wait
Until she saw me by the gate,
And then read through a blur of
tears
Quick pardon for the selfish years.
This time, this time, L would not wait
For that brief wire that said, Too late!
If 1 could only find the way
Into the land of yesterday.
I wonder If her roses yet
Lift up their heads and laugh with pride,
And If her phlox and mignonette
Have heart to blossom by their side;
1 wonder IL the dear old lane
Still chirps with robins after rain,
And If the birds and banded bees
Still rob her early cherry trees
1 wonder If I went there now,
How everything would seem and how
But no! not now; there is no way
Back to the land of yesterday.
