Want Legislation to Help the Lumber In
duStry of Northwest

The Federal Trade Commission,
whose duty it is to look into trade con-
ditions with view to remedying de-
fects which hold back the commerce
of the United States, has just COM
pleted a tour Of this state, and while
here made thorough investigation OF
the causes that have brought about
the depressed conditions in the lumber
trade. 1t was thoroughly impressed
with the vital necessity OF finding a
remedy for the business on which the
greater part Of the Northwest's pros
perity depends. This was indicated
by the deep interest shown in the prob
lem by members OF the commission.
Lumbermen who appeared for the
commission suggested three remedies:
Legislation that will permit combina-
ton to limit and control production,
legal sanction OF lumbermen's selling
agency that would advance the price
in foreign markets, and tightening Of
the burden of taxation.

liable information as to the prevention
of fires to which every citizen Of the
state, especially those residing in farm
ing communities, should give careful
attention.

Souls Near End.
Macon, Ga.-Several months ago City
Treasurer Johnson received a dollar
from some conscience stricken taxpay-
er inclosed in a letter which explained
that away back yonder he failed to re-
turn all his taxes and. since the time
was drawing hear when he would be
confronted with the record of his life's
doings, he wanted to square accounts
with the city.
The treasurer credited Honest"
that being the signature, with 81 on

Recently City Clerk Davy Jones re-
ceived a letter postmarked Fostoria,
O., saying:
Enclosed find 10 cents. At the time

he or she can call on the city clerk
and receive 10 cents in stamps.
Otherwise the amount will be diStrib-

NEW TYPE OF ALFALFA.
May Be Grown Successfully In Hard
Pan Soils of the East.


That alfalfa may be grown success.
fully in the hard pan soils Of the east
is the conclusion reached by experts
after study of climate. soil and condi-
tons. "a particular type Of seed for
every soil and every climate" is one of
the axioms of modern farming, and ex-
perts assert that many failures Of al
falfa crops in the east have been be-
cause the seed used has been adapted
neither to the climate nor the soil. A
type of plant recently has been de-
veloped that will thrive in the east.
1t is pointed out that the variations
in alfalfa are shown in the general
hardness of the plant, the root system,
the place where the buds start out and
the general ability Of the plant to re-
sist unfavorable conditions. Alfalfa is
produced largely in the west and south
west under irrigation and under condi-
tons which make it entirely possible
for the grower to control the water
content in the soil, thereby tnsuring
the proper moisture condition neces-
sary to the maturity Of the seed. Much
of the seed in the east comes from
southern points and is not desirable.
Observation has proved that the
types of alfalfa plant which survived
and grew under eastern conditions
were those types with spreading root
system which could resist the soil con-
ditions and the alternate freezing and
thawing of eastern winters.
One authority says: There Is tend
ency to single tap root in all types
of alfalfa. The difference between the
various kinds is emphasized by more
or less striking difference in the root
structure of the plant. The main con-
sideration in choosing type Of alfalfa
is that the root structure of the type
selected should be adapted to the soil
in which the seed is to be planted.
"After much experimentation the
crown root formation was developed.
This with its many side roots makes
it exactly the kind Of a plant to adapt
itself to eastern soil and climatic con-
ditions and has solved the problem of
eastern winter kill"

GIRL MAY solve
MYSTERIES OF MIND
Science GrOpes For Answer,
Child Plays With Dolls.

Berkeley, Calls the case of Bea-
trice Willard. seven-year-old girl who
rivals adults in mentality, another
which it has been proved may make
giants or dwarfs out of men?
Is there a mysterious ductless gland
that controls the brain, making a giant
in mentality of one person and a men
tai dwarf Of another?
These are the questions scientists at
the University of California may be
able to answer through the queer case
of the little San Francisco girl now
under the eyes of the college savants.
The San Francisco girl. the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Leon Willard, 1924

ten months old, read and wrote at three
years, at five years was reading Kip

deepest subjects, plays mother" to her
dolls, romps with her playmates and
is to all outward appearance a normal
child of her age.
"The child is a genius" says DR..
Frederic Burk of the San Jose Nor
NAL school. "She seems to learn with
the greatest ease and has a photo
graphic memory"
DR.. Biddle's researches come under
the scientific term "hemodenology."
He has explained by experiments on
the ductless glands how the thyroid
gland influences physical growth or
retrogression. how nervous force is af-
fected by the glands and how by reg
ulation Of these glands it may be pos
sible for science some day to make
giants or dwarfs at will and perhaps
solve the secret of everlasting life.
VIII the little girl the scientists are
now experimenting with give the same
clew to the inner workings Of the
mind? VIII the brain of a Caesar or
Homer, a Loeb or a Metchnikoff be
found to be due entirely to the work Of
a microscopic gland?

tivities, thoughts and tendencies.
DR.. Angel several years ago made
the statement that the minds and char
acter Of young men receive as deep
and abiding impressions from mixing
with one another as they do from con-
tact with their professors. That sound
ed a new note in education and gave
an indication of what might be ex-
pected In modern university develop
ment.
The Michigan union aims to give stu
dents that broader education that
comes from knowing men. Michigan
has $500 students. coming from every
part of the globe, and the exchange or
ideas among cosmopolitans is consider
ed by DR.. Angel one of the greatest
needs at all the large universities.
1t is claimed at the University OF
Michigan that a great student body
such as the Michigan union has the
power to democratiZe undergraduates
by eliminating artificial barriers be-
tween Greek letter fraternity men and
independents, between rich and poor.
In fact the Michigan union has al
ready done much along that line, but
Its real opportunity will come, accord
ing to President Emeritus Angel, with
the completion Of the union building.
The alumni of Michigan-35,ooo In
number-are to present the building
equipped and endowed, to the union.
The entire cost will be $1,OOO,OOO. Or
that sum $250,O00 is for an endowment
to insure dues so low that the advan-
.Sages of the union will be within the
Zach of every student The building

found today In the fine clubhouses OF
large cities-swimming pool, meeting
rooms, billiards and bowling alleys,
BANQUET halls and dormitories for re-
turning alumni.
The campaign to raise the $l,ooo'ooo
will be started in October. Michigan

They were very old, bearing a date
early in the last century. and may

who was either driven out OF the coun-

battle of the River Raisin in 1918.
