Men of Heavy Brain.

In a letter to the New York Times
DR.. Edward Anthony Spitzka, prose
cutor of the American Anthropometric
society, says the record shows Is
heavier brains than the late Prince
Katsura's in 108 weighed. The Jap
anese.' he adds, ARE people of small
stature, because short legged, and this
fact lends interest to the question Of
relative brain weight On the whole,
the brain weight of the Japanese com
pares favorably with that OF Euro
peans Of similar stature, and it may
be shown to be superior in this respect
to other races of the same general
stature. These facts are of not little
significance in relation to the learn
ing, industry and aptitudes of this
progressive race"

ERUPTION DISFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice, Ia.-''In the
spring of 1911 our little daughter, age
five years, had a breaking out on her
lip and part of her cheek that We
took for Tingworm- It resembled q
large Tingworm, only it differed in
that it was covered with watery bis
tiers that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching it
Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance She
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night When the eruption was at its
worst the teacher OF the school sent
her home and would not allow her to

that gone, and spectacles, he believed
he would be safe from detection.
What's the matter, Stevens? Why
are you looking at me like that?" de-
manded Waterbury irritably.
Il beg your pardon" stammered Ste
vens. Waterbury had been very try
ing of late; he seemed bent on picking
a quarrel, and on the f1imsiest of pre-
texts Well, that was another reason
for Stevens plan. His position was
insecure; and it would be just like
Harrison, the president, to turn him
adrift when Mary was i'll.
Waterbury was pacing the floor of
his cage when Stevens relieved him at
twelve o'clock that Saturday morning.

growled. He nodded CURLY and, with
out another word, opened the door of
the cage, passed out and let it slide
to behind him. Stevens watched him
with a rather grim smile as he disap-
peared.

Stevens remained alone in the teller's

five packages of ten hundred dollar
bills apiece to his coat pocket, finished
his work and took the money to the
safe.
Wrigley joined him. Stevens pre-
tense of counting it was not elaborate
Wrigley had taken off his glasses and

the safe door slammed and, with a
courteous ''good-by,' Stevens found
himself in the street.
He jumped aboard a car and de-

thence a few days later. He had left

MORE HUMUS IN THE SOIL, IS ADVICE
OF AGRICUL TURAL COLLEGE LECTURERS

stroyed by burning. If the humus
cannot be maintained sufficiently in
this way, it is absolutely necessary to
grow green manure crops, such cow
peas, sweet clover, soy beans, red
clover, rye or sorghum, and to turn
them under. Sweet clover, perhaps,
is the most valuable of these, as 1t
will grow on almost any soil and pro-
duce an abundance of green material
to be turned under. 1t also has the
capacity of adding nitrogen to the
soil, as it is a legume plant. 1t is
estimated that a good crop Of sweet
clover when turned under will add
as much humus as an application OF
Is tons of barnyard manure.
"Humus is the chief supply of nitro
gen. says L. E. Call, head of the
agronomy department of the Kansas
agricultural college. tHumus, when
decaying, makes available plant food
from the store of unavailable plant
food in the soil. 1t acts as a sponge
and increases the water holding ca
pacity of the soil; it makes the soil
more mellow and granular; it binds
! together the soil particles and thus
prevents the soil from drifting by
wind or washing by rain: it permits
air to enter heavy clay soils more
readily; it makes the soil darker in
color; it furnishes food for countless
numbers of bacteria that are bene-
r1claI for plant growth
recognizing that humus perhaps is
more vital to crop production thaR
any other one thing, a campaign will
1 be made in all the farmers institutes
of the state to arouse the state to the
necessity of increasing the humus
supply Every printed program will
carry this motto, "HUmus is the life
of the soil. It can be maintained per-
manently by the proper use Of straw,
barnyard manure and green manure
crops" A four-page folder on humus,
prepared by Professor Call, will be
distributed at every institute in the
state. This folder contains the salient
facts about humus and shows graph
icalIy it's value in holding moisture
and how it may be placed in the soil.
In addition, every institute poster
carries a picture of the turning under
of green manure crop, labeled
"Humus in the Making Let every
one help in this campaign for more

American board in 1913 were Adoni-
ram Judson and his wife, Ann Hassel-
tine Judson- While en- route to India
they and a feIlow-voyager, Luther
Rice, changed their views on baptism.
and later announced that they were
Baptists. Mr. Rice came back to
America to establish a foreign mis-
sionary organization and stimulate a
foreign missionary interest among
Baptists. Mr.. Judson and his wife
proceeded to Burmah, and were thus
the first American Baptist mission
aries in the foreign field
The church which Mr.. Judson estab-
Hshed as a feeble mission in the city
of Rangoon has grown into the great
Emmanuel Baptist church, one of the
largest Christian churches in the ORR
ent- It is here that Baptists from all
parts Of the United States will gath

Judson and other Baptist mission
aries

An excellent demonstration OF the
value of a pure bred sire in grading
up a herd and of the importance Of
sticking to one breed is seen on the

Leavenworth county, reports that for
several years Mr.. Barnes has used
pure bred Galloway bulls on grade

Growers Who Sell Fruit on the Trees

If every apple grower would be an
apple grader and packer, the consum-
er would get more apples for his
money, and the grower more money
for his apples, so says George o.
Greene, horticulturist with the extern
sion division of the Kansas Agricul-
turaI College. The apple reports tab
ulated by the Kansas Agricultural
College for 1912 are reports with NOR
ais. The most important feature of
the records is the one progressive
apple growers are considering now.
