upon chaperoning the dancers and cen

THE BEAN CROP

The nation should not overlook the fact that a
tremendous bean crop is coming. There has been
so much spoken and written about the potato out
look that the well known and slowly bean has been
in danger of being overlooked entirely in the cal
~culations Of the government crop estimators.
Throughout the west, where beans are the
creme de la creme of garden and truck crops, re-
ports indicate that there will be a plenitude Of the
versatile spheres-you will get them this fall and
winter in any way of a score of BOOKINGS, depend
ing on the ability of your cook or the brand Of
canned beans you prefer.
In these day of moaning about the worlds
wheat CROP and the SERIOUS situation of the
worlds corn CROP" ETC., it is a relief indeed to
find that beans will be all-suficient to keep every
bssasry In the us. A. going to full capacity.

FIND HEART ON RIGHT
SIDE, LIVER ON LEFT
Body of William King Described AZ
Left Handed Both Inside and Out.

st. Louis.-The body of William King,
which has been preserved for twenty
months, Is described by an anatomist
as left handed, both inside and out"
according to a statement made public
Mt the City hospital.
In May, 1915, King, who was thirty
tive years old, applied at the hospital
for treatment. He said he was a la
borer and had lived most of his life In
Wisconsin. He was suffering from ty-
phoid fever.
When asked who should be notified
in case of bis death King said: Don't
worry about that. Just cut me up and
examine my body. There's something
wrong with me besides the fever"
He died a few days later. When sur
geons made an examination of the
body they found one OF the most alb
normal cases In the history of surgery
The heart was on the right side, the
liver on the left; the appendix was on
the left side and the spleen on the
right. The stomach vas turned around
completely. On the left lung were three
lobes; the right lung had but two. The
left kidney was larger and lower than
the right one.

a standstill.
Receipts of cattle for today Were
less than 100 head, but there We're a
dozen or more loads held over that
arrived too late for trade on Wednes-
day. The market for fat cattle was
of short duration. and prices ruled
steady to lower compared with the
middle day of the week. only a few
loads of butcher stock arrived and no
change was noted in the market,
There were o enough stockers
and feeders here to make a market
and prices remained on a nominally
steady basis compared with the mid
die day of the week.
With only a few loads of hogs here,
there was nothing doing early. Later
the deal ruled about a dime lower,

WAR AFFECTS WATER TOO.
Mo Soda Ash to Soften city's Drinking
Supply.

Columbus. O.-Hard water will be
the best the filtration plant can furnish
consumers the rest Of the winter unless
something is done to increase the avail
able supply of soda ash, one of the chief
chemicals used In the ~softening process.
superintendent O'Shaughnessy Of the
Columbus water plant said that soda
ash could not be had at any price ow-
ing to inability of railroads to furnish
adequate transportation facilities; also
the Barberton plants, where the city's
supply of soda ash Is obtained, have
been handicapped during the last few
weeks because of a shortage Of fuel.
No soda ash has been used at the Ill
tration plant for several days. Since
the war began soda ash has advanced
S44 a ton. Water can be softened to a
certain degree by lime, but soda ash
must be added to set the desired soft

the past five to ten years will soon see
the error of their ways. 1t takes time
to make much Roadway in the horse
business. Five years are needed to
grow horse At best one should not
expect mere than two colts from three
mares as an average per year. More
over not more than 16 per cent of our
farmers are raising colts. Not long
hence the American farmer viii wake
up only to learn that a great opportu-
nifty has passed.
The next ten years is bound to see
the greatest demand for horsefesh the
world has ever known 1t can't be met
on short notice. The man who is
breeding every mare old enough to the
best stallion available and is taking
proper care of the offspring is the man
who is sure to be rewarded.
There are plenty of men who have
bought and paid for farms within the
past ten years by their pure bred draft
mares. In the same community there
are farmers who are no better Off finan-
cially than they were decade ago be-
cause they failed to foresee the profits
from using the right kind of horses
in their farm work. The men who
have made money and who are going
to reap the fruits Of their efforts in the
future are those who early saw the I'M
deniable need for heavy draft horses
for farm work, who bred that kind and
who will continue to do SO without a
halt.

TOO GREAT A RISK.

Matrimonial Yoke.
One Of the recipients Of Washington's
bounty was his old neighbor, Captain
John Posey. Posey sold Washington

financially embarrassed-in fact, ruin

made frequent applications to Wash
ington for advice and assistance.
Washington helped to educate q son,
st. Lawrence, who had been reduced
to the hard expedient Of tending bar In

Milly, at Mount Vernon as a sort Of
