When Dead Men Ate.

In the medical press is story Of a
man who believed that be was dead
and who for that reason refused to
take nourishment How can the
dead eat and drink?' be asked when
food was pressed upon him. 1t was
obvious that unless something were
done to bring him to his senses the
delusion must soon become actuality-
he would die Of starvation. The stran-
gest ruse was tried. Half q dozen at
tendants. draped in ghostly white. crept
silently in single fle into the room
adjoining his and with the door open
sat down where he could see them at
a hearty meal. Here. who are these
people?" inquired the patient Dead
men," answered the doctor. "What!'
said the other. do dead men eat?"
ITO be sure they do. as you see for
yourself" was the answer. "WeIl."
said the corpse, III that is so I'll join
them, for I'm starving" The spell
was broken. and he sat down and ate
like forty famished men.

FERocIous D %
Marine Monsters That Are Known %
Whale Killers.

. Z
There really is such sea monster
as the whale killer. 1t Is one Of the
largest and most ferocious Of all the
dolphin family. 1t also Is known as
the grampus. 1t Is characterized as q
genus by its large size and the conical
and depressed head, devoid Of beak.
The back Tin is of great length, espe-
cially IN the males. and the fiippers are
large and broadly ovate .a.s
The teeth are comparatively few
in number. varying from ten to thir-
teen ON each side OF the jaw, and are
much larger than in any dolphins yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
in diameter and having an oval Sec
ton. The coloration is striking. the
upper parts and fins being black. while
the lower jaw, chest and under parts
are whitish. II '1*1 .2.'A 100 d. .S%o i
The white area Of the under parts
does not. however, extend to the dukes,
but ends posteriorly in a trident, Of
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the tanks.
There is a large white streak above
and behind the eye. and frequently at
least purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer atta1ns length Of at least twen-
ty feet.-St. Louis Times.

was built from Baltimore to Washing

worth, daughter of the Commissioner
of Patents, sent the first message
from the Chamber Of the Supreme
Court in Washington to Baltimore.
Three years later. Morse was CON-

courts, and successfully proved his
claim to be called the original inven-
tor of the electromagnetic recording
telegraph. He married for the second
time in 1S48. l ', @s Ts.. e

Samuel Finley Breese Morse was
born at Charlestown, Massachusetts,,
on April 81, 1871. He was the son Of
the Rev. Jedediah Morse, and the
great-grandson of Samuel Finley, the
second president of the College of
New Jersey at Princeton. ~
Morse entered Yale at the age Of
fourteen, which was not considered
extremely young in those days. It
was there that he first began the
study of electricity. But his tastes
led him more strongly toward art
than toward science, and in 1911 the
young graduate became the pupil of
Washington Allston and went with
him to England. Here he remained
four years, distinguishing himself
with his brush and making many
friends.
During the next few years the
young artist travelled about New Eng
land painting portraits for the sum of
SIS apiece. Later he increased his
price to $50 portrait, doing an aver
age of four week. BY the money
thus earned he was enabled to mar
ry Miss Lucretia P. Walker on Octo-
Der 6, 1918.
In 1925 Morse was one of the
founders of the National Academy of
Design, and was it's first president,
from 1926 until 1S45. He made a
second visit to Europe in 1929, and
travelled about the Continent for
three years before returning to New
York. - y. m .. a2r. ...,- ..,l.-.1 ..s... ID
During all this time, however,
while he was working =. at his art,
Morse's mind had also been occupied
with another interest. That was
electromagnetic, and the possibil-
ity of communication between far dis
tant places by means of it. y
It was on board the ship "Sully,"
in which he was returning to Amer
lea, that he said, IF the presence Of
electricity can be made visible in any
part Of the circuit, see no reason
why intelligence may not be trans
mitted by electricity And in few
days he had finished some rough

You would hardly think it to look at

are so widely separated
1t Is simply. as Darwin pointed out
in the case Of all other creatures a
great many years ago. that the lobster

and the shrimp. chose one method OF

Ears that are just mature, rugged

FOR the variety of corn grown, borne
on strong vigorous plants, are the
ones to select during Seed Corn week.
Avoid the large, late maturing ears.
Also avoid selecting the small, very
early maturing ears, for the reason
that they mature earlier than is neces-
sary and give low yield per acre.
Details such as filling of tips and
butts, and exact shape of kernel may
be left until winter. The aim during
Seed Corn week should be to get a
large number Of mature, fairly typical
cars under cover so that they may
dry out properly before freezing
weather arrives. A decided adva1-
tage that comes with early selection
from the standing stalks is that the
plant that bears the ear may be given

WHY OBSERVE SEED CORN WEEK?
Uncle Sans Figures Suggest One
Answer.

Your pocketbook, the principles of
good farming, and the governors
proclamation all suggest the careful
observance of Seed Corn week. The
average farmer feels pretty we'll sat-
isfied if he has an IS per cent stand
of corn, but one of our experiment sta
tions tells Us that improving the
stand to "a per cent perfect would
increase the yield 20 bushels per
acre. According to the census our corn
crop occupied 108,771 900 acres in 1909.
Two and a fifth more bushels per
acre at a farm value of go cents per
bushel would mean about $40, 900, 900
more in the growers pockets. A
pretty good return for careful se1ec-
ton and testing! Estimate Mime

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND
HIGHWAY BOARD DECIDE
UPON A PROGRAM

The county commissioners and the
San Miguel county road board held a
short business session yesterday af-
ternoon at the court house 70. the pur-
pose of making final arrangements
for the beginning of the work that is
to be done on the country highways.
The meeting proved satisfactory in
every way and the prevailing spirit
of the afternoon showed that the two
united bodies would accomplish no
little good within the next three
months.
It was decided that work on all
county roads should start at once.
Among the roads which will be repair
ed by the commissioners are the San
Ia Fe trail, the Mora road, Canyon del
Aqua road, the Los Alamos road, and
others needing repairs,
Several good road builders in the
county will be employed and no doubt
a great amount of work will be accom-
plished. Word reached Las Vegas this
morning that State Engineer James
A. French, upon learning that the
county commissioners dnd the road
board of San Miguel county had come
together for the purpose Of making
good roads, had made arrangements
for the immediate removal of the gang

A FEATURE FILM
AT PHOTOPLAY
TONIGHT
"GooD FOR EVIL" is THE TITLE
OF TWo-REEL SHOW AT POP
ULAR PLAYHOUSE

The Photoplay theater tonight will
run two-reel Fielding feature film,
entitled Good for Evil" This pic
ture is said to be an excellent one.
Romaine Fielding takes the part of
John Field, Burton King depicts the
character of Burt Mason, and Adele
Lane appears as Grace Brooks. A
short synopsis of the play follows:
At good old Princeton, two chums,
John Field and Burt Mason, separate
after graduation to go their way and
| fight the battle of life. John goes to
Tucson, Ariz, and Burt to New York.
John, out west, meets Grace Brooks
and falls in love- They finally be-
come engaged, although Grace hardly
realizes the grand passion. In New
York Burt goes the pace the kills, and
his doctor finally sends him out west
to save his life. He writes and tells
John that he is on his way to join
him.
Arriving at Tucson, Burt and Grace
meet, and it is a case of love at first
sight. They tell John and are mar
ried, and Field, broken-hearted, en-
ters a mission and becomes a monk.
Years pass; Burt goes to the bad and
reduces his wife and child to poverty
He then resolves to desert them, and,
stealing a horse, starts for the rail
road station. He is pursued, and be-
ing badly wounded, seeks refuge in
the mission, where John protects him.
The deserted wife is taken back to
her parents home. John e"nvinces
Burt of his sin and takes him to his
wife to seek forgiveness. Influenced
by Johns pleas, Grace takes her hus-
band back and the monk returns to
his Mission, his soul filled with "The
peace that passeth understanding"

faction over the way in which the
highways were improved ON the date
set apart for that purpose. Dr. Brown
says that the people of Watrous did
valiant work, as did those of Wagon
Mound, where all the stores were
closed for the entire day and the
populace turned out and labored with
vim.
DR.. Brown says the result Of the
work has been the improvement of
the two sapello crossings, places
which have given travellers by auto
mobile the greatest Of difficulty in
recent years. DR., Brown said he made
the crossings on second gear this
morning; every automobile driver
knows what that signifies. Eighteen
men and nine teams worked in the
vicinity of Watrous, where good work
was done. Wagon Mound had a much
larger delegation at work. DR.. Brown
says that Good Roads day proved
that united, intelligent work upon the
roads can accomplish great deal,
