tally younger than his years, you
will treat him according to his
mental and not his physical age
You will know where and how 10
apply the remedy. You will not
break him down with burdens too
heavy for his mind at the stage
of development at which it has
arrived. You will not do him the
injustice of assuming that he is
essentially inferior to his broth
ers and sisters whose mental and
physical stature have kept better
pace with each other.
You will feel that his mind NAV
be developed and strengthened to
a full maturity, just as Newton's
body was.
The article in The Cosmopon,
tan to which I refer tells how
science has discovered a way of
measuring the mental age when il
differs from the bodily age. The
system of measurement is due TO
the French psychologist, Alfred
Binet, and his associate, NJ. ST.
mon. 1t depends upon a very
simple principle-that of taking
the average mental stature a va
rious ages, which may be deter
mined by experiments with a
large number of normal children.
and com pairing with this STANDARD
the development of any particu
lar child. Various ingenious de-
vices and tests are employed. in
GLIDING the recognition of colors.
the tracing of outlines, the mem
DRY and comprehension of words.
the time taken to receive impres-
sions, the drawing of plain infer
ences, etc.
But anybody, when once the
idea that there is such a thing al
mental age which may differ from
bodily age is understood. can
make tests for himself. We know
how the mind of the child SLOWLY
advances, for we were all once
children, stretching out feeble
hands to grasp the clouds and the
moon. and comprehending moth
ing of the world around us.
Probably there is not one of us
whose mental growth has no,
either exceeded or fallen behind
the bodily growth, but In the vast
majority of cases the difference
has been too slight to lead to i'm
portant results. But when the
difference becomes great, as when
a child of 10 years has the men
tai stature belonging to the age
of 5, a quick remedy must be
applied to prevent an entire ar
rest Of the development of tina
mind That remedy must be ap-
piled through more intelligent and
sympathetic treatment of the
"feeble-minded" at home, as well
as through a grading accordins
to mental instead Of bodily age

BelleyiIle Solves Problem
Belleville. Aug. 9.--BellevilIe can we'll
feel proud over the fact that the city now
has water to burn-or words to that eff

One. reason for this remarkable situa-
ton is the fact that other towns have
while Belleville has gone down 1870 to 200
feet for its water and has water source
which is not affected by local conditions.
The original city well supplied about
5000 gallons of water per day, but that
city wells have been drilled to an aver
age depth of 200 feet each The capacity
within the requirements of the city.
Independence Appeals to CoffeyviIIe.
inaependenee Ang The discussion
over the water question evidently sug-
gested to Neodesha that it would be well
serve some of the water that is going
down the river. Accordingly four citizens
from NeOdeSha came to independence to
confer with the city commissioners con-
corning the opening of the RIFLES above
Sycamore.
There is no chance of endangering the
city's water supply, the citizens of Neode-
sha say. Several years ago the Standard
Oil company built nine-foot dam across
the river just below where the city's wa
ter plant is and the result is that Neode-
sha has head of water about eight feet
at the dam and all the way from five feet
to twenty feet for two miles up the river.
Lawrence, Aug. 9-Stories of suffering
continue to arrive from the country dis
tricts where the cattle are suffering from
water shortage. Many farmers are
driving their cattle to water and large
number of them are hauling water for
many miles in an effort to keep their
cattle.

DAUBERT ADVANCE
Gaining on National League
Hitters-NOW in Sixth Place.
BOehIing Leads American
League Pitchers.

Chicago, Aug 9.-Jake Daubert,
Brooklyn's brilliant first baseman, is
climbing steadily toward the top amone
the batters of the National League.
For SO games. nearly as many as his
club has played, Daubert has hit at a
rate of .34S. which gives him a rank Of
sixth. The five ahead of him are
Yingling, of Brooklyn, with 1888;
Charles Mcdonald, Boston, with 1865;
Gibson, Pittsburg, 1854; Hyatt, Pitts
burg, 1862. and R. Miller, Philadelphia,
.359 Walsh, of Philadelphia, ranks
seventh in the National. with an aver
age of .346. Then comes Cravath, Phil
adelphia, $40; w. Collins, Boston. .333,
and Killing, Cincinnati, who winds up
the first 10 with 1925.
Both Jackson and Cobb, whose race
has featured the batting of the Ameri-
can League, have at last fallen below
the 400 rate. The Cleveland slugger
still leads with 1893, while Cobb is close
on his heels with .oS9. The next eight
are: Speaker, Boston, 1857; Dan Muir
ply, Philadelphia, 1862; Eddie Collins,
Philadelphia, .354; Henriksen, Boston,
.351; Lajoie. Cleveland, .34s; McInnis,
Philadelphia, $40; Baker, Philadelphia,
1923, and Gandil. Washington, 1928.
Unofficial records show Boehling lead

DEBATERS AT HAYS.
Citizens and Farmers Forget Hot
Weather and Attend.

Hays, Kan, Aug. 9.-"It was the con-
servatisn of the party that saved and
saved the nation in 1860, in 1876 and
in 1896" Congressman Chas. F. Scott
asserted in rebuttal to Henry ]. Allen
in the debate over the question about
who will be IN the saddle in 1916 The
day was unusually hot and dusty, but
it did not prevent a great number OF
people from surrounding counties from
coming here and listening to what was
to be said Mr.. Scott had the open
ing" and he carefully presented his
arguments to the effect that the Pro-
gressive party was simply an after
thought or something that happened
after Colonel Roosevelt failed to get
the nomination in Chicago. And that
it is in effect only a "one man party
and that there was and is no necessity
for its existence. Later on he produced
returns from city and state elections
and where the colonel and Mr.. Allen
had together with the heaviest artillery
of the progressives bombarded the Vot-
ers-yet the Progressives had come out
third and sometimes fourth in the race.
Mr. Scott also showed how President
Taft had inherited the effects of the
1907 panic and a deficit So million dol
lars and left the presidency with a
surplus of a hundred million dollars.
Mr. Allen, in his own way, replied to
Mr.. Scott and said that nothing start
ed in Chicago, but just wound up got
to a finish there and that for several
years there had been a peculiar line
up of congressman in Washington of
'standpat'' and 'insurgent'' and early
in the winter of 1912 the people who
had been for Roosevelt had started out
holding primaries. Where popular pri-
maries were held Taft usually lost out
and often by a vote of four to one.
Mr.. Allen brought the audience to
cheering when he compared the Pro-
gressive party with 1913 model with
a brand new carburetter. And contin-
uing he said: "A standpat has been
standing still so long he can't start
while a progressive is started, going
and cannot STOP The Progressive
party appeals to the needs of humanity
and takes account of the women and
children who are working and helping
to enrich the trust. 1t is a party come
to stay and to be ready to accept the
receivership of the nation in 1916. Mr..
Allen hit policy of the G. o. P. again
by saying that the men are not united
as to what the party stands for but
wrangling in the camp continually.
This was the third day of the chau-
tauqua and the attendance has been
increasing from day to day. Clifford

indication of resentment.
Anxious to Avoid Trouble.
Washington, Aug. 9.-Secretary
Bryan said today that Mr.. Lind would
find instructions awaiting him at Vera
Cruz. Their nature he declined to dis
close and refused to say whether Mr..
Lind was to proceed at once to the
Mexican capital or wait at Vera Cruz.
One unofficial view of that phase of
the situation was that inaSmuch as
the Washington government is anxious
to avoid an anti-American demonStra-
ton against Mr.. Lind or to see any
breach committed before the envoy
has opportunity actually to convey
Wilson's proposals to Huerta, Lind
might wait on the New Hampshire at
Vera Cruz while Charge O'Shaughnes-
sy transmitted the proposals to Next
CO City.
Diplomats not in accord with that
view pointed out that inasmuch as the
original plan, known to the Mexican
government was for Lind to proceed
to Mexico City direct, any alteration
at this time would not strengthen the
administrations position and that the
Washington government could under
no circumstances recede from its
right to send an adviser to its en-
bassy in Mexico City. The view OF
these observers was that any instruc-
tions to Mr.. Lind at Vera Cruz prob
ably would coordinate with the policy
of correcting misinterpretation of his
mission before he goes to Mexico CITY.

The express company will appeal for
public sympathy and support in this
enterprise, on the ground that it is TT

that problem before the parcel post act
passed; but no matter. The public
wants the service, wants il right now,
and will gladly use an express service
if the parcel post will not give it.
Senator Bryan of Florida, who seems
determined to fetter the parcel post IL
possible, would do well to look into this
Texas manifestation. Probably it is
really the last gasp of the express
monopoly. trying to take advantage of
the efforts of just such men as Senator
Bryan. But in any case it is well to
keep in mind that if the government
cannot or will not provide the public
