Sparrows are not obtrusive birds,
either in plumage, song or action.
There arc some forty species. with
nearly as many subspecies. in North
America Not more than half a dozen
forms are generally known In any one
locality. All the species are more
or less migratory, but 80 widely are

Hymenoptera and predaceaus beetles,

Corn is a very valuable crop for in
creasing the yields OF grain. The
average yield of wheat on corr
ground %1906-1912 on the North Dakota
demonstration farms has been 20
bushels, while the average of wheat
after wheat was 1874. This means
a gain Of ~ bushels, or 81 per cent,
due to the corn crop.
The cultivation given the corn
saves moisture, kills weeds, and kills
grain diseases. This in a measure
explains the increase in yield.
The corn crop produces more feed
per acre than any other crop except
alfalfa. The ear corn is the best fat
tening food. The fodder is q splendid

that the future as we'll as the present

This is done by the mulching system.

Ringing Brothers will present an
unusual number of thrilling acts
when their circus exhibits in Clarks-

is introduced by the great spectacle

This spectacle cost 100000.
The various acts that follow are
given on two immense platforms. in
three rings, in the dome of the tent
and on the hippodrome track. In the
nature of thrillers there are at least
seven distinct sensations. Principal
among them is the superb Partisan

WHITMAN BLOCKS POLICE.

That was one reason why Whitman
got on the job" He had talked to
Rosenthal. He knew, better than any
one In New York not connected with the
ring of police graft, from what aspects
and how much Rosenthal could expose the
system" He knew that II had been
publicly known that Rosenthal was to go
before a grand jury on the day of the
very morning that he was murdered, and
he was positive from the start that the
motive for the murder was to be found in
the prospective disclosures which Rosen-
thai was 10 have made
To Whitman the victim of the murder
was not a gambler shot in a gamblers
fight with Grafters. He was a witness.
an aid to the people of the State of New
York, who had been murdered solely be-
cause he occupied that position.
The quickness with which Whitman ar
rived at the station, after a flashing but
comprehensive view of the scene of the
murder; the unerring directness with
which he solved the stupidity or the in
territorial concealment of the police; the
utter command with which he grasped
the whole situation and took it out of the
hands of the police, are all matters OF
record and knowledge now. The fact that
Whitman was the man who discovered
that Charles Gallagher. the only man who
had correctly reported the number Of the
murder car" had been arrested. and the
fact that through this discovery and
Whitman's prompt action thereon the real
trail of the murderers was developed,
