Another feature OF the afternoon

Not Adam But Noah Was to Blame

Reports from London. describ-
ing new version of the flood
and the fall of man, deciphered
from an ancient Sunerian tablet
by DR.. Stephen Langdon, profess
sor of Assyriology in Jesus Col
lege, Oxford, have been confirm
ed by officials Of the University
Of Pennsylvania Museum. The
tablet is part of the collection un-
earthed by the university's ex-
pedition to Nippur, and the in
scription on it was copied by DR..
Langdon when he visited this
city last fall.
The fragment translated by
DR., Langdon tells of the food
and uses the Sumerian equiva-
lent for Nuhu or Noah as the
man who saved man from de-
structiOn. 1t differs from the
biblical account Of creation in
reciting that it was Noah who
sinned by e ting of the tree OF
knowledge ard thus brought
about this fall.

Do Not Sucker" coru.

Corn develops suckers" OF
tllers when conditions are per
feet for growing corn. Suck
ers" are an indication of abund-
ance of plant food. The thinner
the stand the more they develop.
Indeed with a maximum stand
few suckers develop and the oc-
casions are rare when their re-
moval will be found profitable.
The Nebraska station found
the decrease in yield caused by
removing this suckers ul tillers
to be as follows: With stand
of one stalk per hill, the yield
was reduced $3.50; with Two
stalks per hill, 1870; three stalks
per hill, oEf, and four stalks per
hlii. 80
With these figures as a guide
we cannot afford to stop cultivat-
ing to remove the suckers -

A New York dry goods firm
has just failed for $4,000, 900
This is a pretty wide line of cred
it to extend to a single CONNER,
cial concern, and shows how far
banks will go to lend money at
high interest rates and take the
hazard The company claims to
have assets sufficient to meet all
it's obligations, but that still re
mains to be seen. The reason
given for this commercial failure,
saio to be the greatest on record
for the amount involved, is poor
business. The company operat-
ed a chain of department stores.
located in many cities. so it can
not be claimed on any hypothesis
that the BUSINESS depression
which brought it upon the rocks
of bankruptcy, is local to any
particular territory or psyche
logical in the matter of it's Great
ing. There can be no question
that if the company could have
followed out President Wilson 5
line of reasoning; that if it could
have saved itself by thinking
that its business was good and
that it had the cash in the till, it
would have done so; but the hard
fact remains that it could not
sell the goods it had bought on
credit, and failure followed when
tbe notes fell due.

Drouth in the City.

The greatest horror of drouth
in a great city is the accuhula
ton and retention of heat in the
immense masses of stone, iron
and brick, which constitute theil
building materials. Not since
the night Hheu a heavy rain dis
persed a great audience Assem-
bled in Forest Park to see the
Pageant and Masque has this
town had rain enough to fill d
water bucket. That this is un'
usual csa 60 without the saying.
That the temps. atrfres OF this
June have also been unusual can
also go without saying, here and
elsewhere. The result is that
mortar. brick. stone, glass, every
thing which enters into the con-
structiOn of miles of buildings,
and which can catch and hold,
and also radiate the heat of the
sun: the masses of interlaced
wires overhead, covering miles
of the city's surface: the 500
miles of street railway tracks,
and the equal number of steam
railway tracks all absorbing heat
from the sun in a cloudless sky,
to let much of it, but not all of il,
out again-all REINFORCED by
thousands of miles of brick nd
asphalt pavements aud sidewalks,
glaring by day and steaming by
night-oh, they don't know what
drouth is on the farm.-Globe

ago the Progressives were no
more than an aid society to the
Democrats, with which assist
ance the latter were once more
given an opportunity to apply
their particular and hazardous
theories of government. The
result has been exactly what
the Republicans predicted it
would be. Having failed on ev-
cry point to prove that their par
ty was more competent and eff
cient in gniding the ship of state
than the Repu blican party, and
having, on the contrary, sailed
it upon a devious and precarlous
course, to the great distress and
hardship of the country general
ly, the Democrats are now fight
ing for their lives against being
separated from the happy con
tentment of public job holding.
In the face Of public resentment
wrought by its failure to fulfill
any of the promises it made the
Democratic party knows it can
not hold on of its own strength,
and it is hopefully anticipat-
ing the life preserving assist
ance of the Progressives at the
coming election. Wherever
there is Progressive activity
great JOY is manifested by the
Democrats. Every Progressive
vote is a life-preseryer to the
party in power, tits also a vote
cast for the permanence of the
business depression and hard
times that now at1lict us. Are
there any Progrsssives progress
sive (?) enough to vote for that?
