A Great German Scientist.

The passing of August Weiss.
man, scarcely chronicled in this
country, brings one more illus,
tration of the paradox that the
world knows least of it's greatest
men, and misses them not over
much when they die. Here was
the greatest contributor sto the
theory OF evolution since Darwin.
yet through 5Ogyears of prolific
wurk his audience was mainly
made up of specialists. He
wrote no "best sellers" in science
aud when his gre3at theory
reached the United Stafes in
translation over 20 years ago the
reviewers baked at 1t, aud the
reading public booked askance.
Welssman not only demolished
for ever the old view that the
living body IS fully performed IN
miniature in the germ; he showed
the whole movement of growth
to be one OF evolution. Provid
ing heredity with physical
basis, he undertook TO describe
how the development of the bodi
ly tissues Is guided i'm advance by
determinants in the germ. More
important still, he claimed that
the germ Is potentially immortal
aud that it is only the BODY
which grows up around and from
it that really dies. Living be.
ings are thus like beads thread
ed on string that goes back to
the very beginning of life. the
beods falling off in death, the
string remaining. If followed
from the theory that changes ac-
q uired during the lifetime of the
individual are not inner tied and
that race improvements schiev
ed during the generations do not
pass from parents to their chill
dren. Boston Herald.

He Didn't Take The Paper.

A farmer in this community
I once had a horse he wanted to
sell. 1t was a valuable horse
and should have brought good
price. For months he tried to
sell the animal. but could not
find buver at his figure. He
finally sold 1T for about $25. 90
less than it's value, rather than
carry it through the winter,
Now it happened that just
across the line in another county
there was another farmer who
was looking for just such horse
but was unable to find 1t, Then
he inserted little ad in the
home paper, which brought him
a mum Der of offers. one of which
be reluctantly accepted.
The first farmer did not take
the home paper, and of course
did not see the little ad of the
man who wanted good horse,
and who would have puschased
his animal at a good price.
BY not taking the paper be
saved the subscription price
of 81 90, and likewise lost 1924. 90

ad Such occurrences are hap
pening every week right here in
this community. in which peo-
pie actually lose good money be-
cause they do not take their
home paper. and hence do not
know of many of the opportuni-
lies that are placed before them.
The man who takes the paper
and reads ii carefully each week
not only knows what is gong on
but he is in fact money ahead at
the end of the year by knowing
what. when and where to buy.

business amounted to more than
S2,0OO,OOO. Divided as follows:
325 car loads eggs, 175 car loads

these car loads passed through

Think OF that amount of money
being divided among the farmers

eral orchardists in the section of Ames

some sections of the county there are
scarcely any apples, and the cause in
some instances attributed to the heavy
frosts in the spring and also the lack
of care of the trees. In those sections
where there is a very goods crop
this year the quality is very good and
the orchardists are realizing very
good price for their fruit.
Peaches are raised in only two or
three towns in the county to any great
extent, but in those towns there was a
very good crop, and the quality was
excellent owing to the warm weather
through the fall whe nthey were ripen-
ing. Pears and plums are not raised
to any great extent in the county, but
most of the trees had about the av-
erage crop. There was large crop of
blackberrios in some sections of the
county.
