STEADY EVOLUTION OF CHIN
Has Progressed With the Intellect

kind.

In man the chin seems to project
more and more as he progresses to-
ward his modern civilized condition.
This must imply that, Immediately
the huge lower CANNES degenerated,
the part took on some other function
of vital Importance to the race, and
that the need has increased with his
intellectual and social advancement.
My theory, then, is that the chin is
essentially part of the mechanism
Of articulate speech.
It is tempting to theoriZe a little
further and to suggest that the hu.
man chin perhaps bears testimony to
a prehistoric change from carnal
weapons to others, which, if not ex.
actly spiritual, were such as appealed
to'the part of US where spiritual forces
work, for apparently long ago, before
the pen proved mightier than the
sword, the tongue proved mightier
than the teeth
If one could only prove this one
might show that even before the Ola.
cial epoch, parliamentary institutions
(using the term in its widest sense)
began to take the place of lethaI weap
ons in settling disagreements, and
that the substitution of arbitration for
war is not merely a doctrine of later
day moralists, but is a part of the or
dered march of cosmic progress, as in
evitable as the other evolutionary
changes which have brought US Up
from among the brutes.- North Ameri

HARDEST FALL COVER CROP
Winter Vetch Is Superior to Crimson
Glover and Makes Vigorous
Growth in Early Spring.

The hardest of fall cover crops is
winter vetch. 1t is far superior to
crimson clover, as it is sure to live
over winter and makes very vigor-
GUS growth in the early spring. Sand
vetch belongs to the pea family and
is a native of Russia It is a deep
rooted plant, having an abundance of
vine and leaf. The flowers are purple,
abundant and sweet. Bees extract
much sweetness from the blossoms.
The high cost of seed prevents most
farmers from sowing it; the better
method is to drill six pecks of rye
and SOW half bushel of vetch seed
to the acre. The ground should be
deeply plowed, well-harrOwed and
rolled. For early green feed, spread
a thick dressing of well-rotted manure
over the ground after it is first har-
rowed over, then cross harrow it in,
then roll Drill the rye in. Vetch
seed is fine like cabbage. seed and
should be placed in grass-seed box
back Of drill hoes; the seed may be
covered with the brush harrow. The
first heavy shower win cover the
seed.

straining breaths; with no quarter, no

eysz and faces hot with the effort of
brute strength striving, in primitive
desperation, to kill in order not to be
killed. The cloud Of rocking, writing
arms and shoulders was neither 60

ment was that Of a vortex, while the
gray stream kept on pouring through
the breach as if it were only the first
food from some gray lake on the
other side Of the breastwork.
Marta had come to the edge Of the
veranda, at once drawn and repealed,
feeling the fearful suspense of the
combat, the savage horror Of it. and
herself uttering sounds like the strain
ing breaths of the men. What a place
for her to be! But she did not think
of that. She was there. The dreadful
alchemy Of war had made her a
stranger to herself She was mad;
they were mad; all the world was

mark lest a set Of men Of such dy-
manic spirit might repulse him as an
invader. THE lieutenant is in com
mand for the present, according to
regulations he proceeded. You will
retire Immediately to positions 48 and

Sleep! Rest Where had they

something warmer in their hearts
than consciousness Of duty we'll done;
but this time they need not go until
their dead as well as their wounded
were removed.
Feller started to pass around the
corner Of the house; he was confront
ed by Marta, who had come to the end
Of the veranda There, within hearing
of the soldiers. the dialogue that fol-
lowed was low-toned, and it was swift
and palpitant with repressed emotion.
Mr.. Teller, I saw you at the auto
matte. / heard what the wounded pri-
vate of the Grays said to you and
realized how true it was"
He is prisoner. He cannot tell. .

there were dried red spatters on his
cheek. Wars furnace flames seemed
TO have tanned him; war seemed to
be breathing from his deep chest; his
big nose was wars promontory. But
the unexposed space of his forehead
seemed singularly white when he took
OF his cap as Minna came in answer
to his knock Her yielding lips were
parted, her eyes were bright with in
quiry and suspicion, her chin was
firmly set

kiss your hand again." said Stransky,
squirting through his brows wistfuIIy.
L see your nose mas been broken
once. You don't want it broken a sec

think" Minna retorted, and held out
her hand carelessly as if it pleased
her to humor him.
He was rather graceful. despite his
size, as he touched his lips to her fin
gers. Just as he raised his head a
burst of cheering rose from the yard.

you brilliant intellectsi" he shouted,
and glared at the wall of the house in
the direction of the cheers.
Quick! You have no time to lose!"
Minna warned him.
Quick! quick!" cried Marta.
Strensky paid no attention to the
urgings He had something more to
say to Minna.
I'm going to keep thinking OF you
and seeing your face-the face of a
good woman-while I fight. And when
the war is over, may I come to call?''
he asked
His feet were so resolutely planted
on the flags that apparently the only
way to move them was to consent.
yes, yee!" said Minna Now,

Say, but you make me happy!
Watch me poke it into the Grays for

Never turn heifer dry. Milk them
