beautiful face for an artist to capy.
1t is so expressive of suffering nobly-
born and of sweetness, but he sleeps
somewhere in barn and he gets
very drunk and challenges men to
come out and beat him up and
some of them, like Trevy, accommo-
date Kllian.
In the past iKllian's very fine face
has probably Influenced Judge Fry,
for the judge remembers that many
times before he has given Killian an
other chance, and so this time he
doesn't have any faith left in the
straightforward eyes and the low
promises, and Killian is fined.
And so it goes. 1t is humanity in

it is7the "humanness" of humanity
that makes it most lovable.

MEXICO WAS CIVILIZED 5000
YEARS AGO

Mexico City, Mex, April 24.-Mex-
leo was civilized 5000 years ago. No
Huerta was here to rebel and over
throw the government. Of course, the
same system of rule by might existed,
but some constructive accomplish
ments resulted And listen, property
owners. Think of street pavement
lasting 5000 years. Streets that an
cient have been discovered by recent
excavation covered many feet deep
by volcanic eruptions, but in wonder
full state of preservation. Paving was
built to last in those days, but that
was before bond issues were invented.
American contractors can take les
son from prehistoric man. If they will,
streets need not be renewed every
few decades at great cost.

Rains and Corn.

Chicago. Aug. 14-From July 20 TO
Aug. IS the corn belt has received
some showers every few days in some
section. These sprinkles eliminated
Aug. to IL with one-half to one incn
rains over most of the corn belt and
extending throughout the south and
eastern states.
During the July and August period
Oklahoma. part of Nebraska. Kansas
and Missouri have received the high
est temperatures. Loss of corn condi-
tion is due TO the July dry and not to
e-cesSive heat. Should another inch
OF water sweep the country along with
cool the Aug. 10 corn condition
would probably be 70 to 75.
At ~ on the August par of 34.7
bushel the September promise might
run 2.625. 900. II 70 per cent It
would amount TO 2,73O.OO0,O00. We
shall raise much more corn than in
1913. when the September report said
2.351. 100000.
Since 1901 the big August losses
in corn have been the 10 point drops
&C August. 1913, and August, 1909. OF
course a grain crop that is hurt badly
l., one month is liable to continue un-
der that influence during the ensuing
month.
However. in relation to recent corn
conditions. sharp attention must be
directed 10 the chance of the new crop
months maintaining their advances in
the seventies. We consider December
and May corn in two-sided position
with the prospect of attracting sales
after advances.
Investors should await reactions.
