The Stock Show
BY w. S. WELLES

out of the two days of the Normal
Stock Show everyone, from the ex-
hibitors to the spectators, is saying
that this was the most successful
stock show Of the six held so far. 1t
NAV be of interest to know that this
is the sixth annual stock show in the
seven years since the movement was
started, The showing of animals
this year was the best by far of any
we have had, on the testimony of
exhibitors who have been on hand
year after year. 1t is almost hard
to believe that seven years ago pref
ty nearly the only pure bred stock
shown was from the Jersey herd Of
F. D. PIERCE. At that time the ami
mails were mostly grades. This stock
show brought together different
breeds in the following numbers:
Shorthorn SO
Holstein Az
Guernsey FL
Jersey IL
Aberdeen Angus 10
making a grand total of 142, practi-
callv twice the number we have had
in any previous year.
OF hogs there were "a of all breeds.
Of horses, by estimate, there were
so. Among all these different groups
of animals the judges themselves are
authority for saying that we had in
this show good deal of State Fair
stuff, and even some possibilities for
the international Show Ring. 1t
would be very hard to have anyone
realize from what can be said in
print, the amount of interest and
enthusiasm displayed in organizing
and carrying out the Stock Show
this year. 1t would be impossible to
make Individual mention of all the
exhibitors, and the part each one
has taken by throwing lis own per-
sonal effort into it to make this
show great success.
Next week the premium award
list will be published entire, and pos
sibly some additional information
may be given with regard to the en-
tire list of exhibits.
If it were not for the great en-
thusiasm of all these breeders and
stock enthusiasts who are not breed
ers, and the members of the agri-
cultural school faculty, and the
hearty cooperation of the agricultur-
al students this thing would not be
possible at all. But when you have
put such men as we have around
here behind this proposition to bring
in the exhibits and boost the whole
show generally you do not expect
anything else than something highly
successful.
1t is impracticable. in this short
space, to dwell much on individuals,
but the judges ought not be passed
without mention of their fine work.
They were Mr.. Thormey, Secretary
of the Shorthorn Breeders Associa-
ton of Wisconsin, Mr.. Montgomery,
formerly of the Minnesota College
of Agriculture, but now with the
Cashton Farms at Owatonna, Mimi,
and Professor McKerrow of the
Minnesota Agricultural College.
The Stock Show is for us an edu-
cational proposition. These men
all fell at once into the scheme
and the talks they gave over each
exhibit were right to the point and
it goes without saying that exhibit
tors profited immensely by what
they heard.
Continued next week.

THE REASON WHY
Why Do We Laugh When GIad7

We laugh when glad because the things which make us laugh combine together to rouse those parts of tha body which are involved in a good laugh to act in a certain harmony, and when this combination is arrang- ed in a certain way it produces a laugh. Certain things in the world, whether they are funny, ludicrous, or other things that produce the laugh ing effect, cause the brain to work certain muscles and nerves in a com bination that produces a laugh. The impression which reaches the brain causes these muscles and nerves to act involuntarily and the laugh comes. It works Just like the keys of the piano. Some combinations of notes produce sad sounds and other com blnauons produce glad sounds. bur the combination when once touched VIII always produce the same sound. IL Is the impressions made on the brain which start the proper con- bination, and it does this instantly. Just as a pin prick in the arm will at once send a hurt" message to the brain and cause the brain to jerk the arm away, so a laugh-producing com Dlnatlon of sounds, or things we sec. or Feel, sends an impression to the brain which at once sends out the laugh" order. Some things mako people laugh, while they do not affect others at all. That is because our brains are not always the same in re- gard to recording impressions. Some things impress some brains one way and others entirely in a different way. From The Book of Wonders.

 Say, where did you get that halt stuff? asked Rothfeld, as OShea led him away to the Magistrates Court.
 OShea explained that he had been in the overseas army and had got into the habit of calling halt" when any thing went wrong on his post.
 I was in the army too, Rothfeld in- formed OShea, but never yelled at any of my men the way you did at me.
 No? What were you in the army? asked O'Shea-
 First Lieutenant in a machine gun company, replied the prisoner.
 The climax came, said OShea, when I had to hale the guy into court be- fore Magistrate Henry H. Curran. who was Major in the army. Aint't that the best you've heard? A buck pri- vate pinches a Lieutenant and takes him before a Major who fines him s1O

Why Do Goats Have Buttons On the
 Sleeves?

The practice of putting buttons on coat sleeves. which serve no useful purpose at all and do not add to the beauty of the coat, is a relic of very old days
 There was a time when people did not use handkerchlefs, and 1t was common practice for men to wine their noses on their sleeves. They had coats also in those days, but they did not nave buttons on the sleeves. One Of the old kings finally developed the idea of dressing his soldiers in fancy uniforms and, as he sat in his palace and reviewed his troops, he noticed many of them using the sleeves of their coats as handkerchiefs. He i'm mediately issued a decree that all sleeves should have a row of buttons sewed on them, but at a point direct ly opposite to where they are now on the sleeves. This was done to re- mind the soldiers that the sleeves of their beautiful uniforms were not to be used as handzerchiefs. and tbosa who attempted to draw their sleeve <. In front of the nose were quickly re- minded of the decree by the buttons which scratched them. And so the buttons really had a quite useful pur- pose at one time, and so also all sleeves had buttons sewed on to them at this place. Later on, however when the unsightly practice had been cured and people had learned to use handkerchiefs, the buttons remained as decoration, but their former DIT. pose was lost sight of Then somo tailor or leader of fashion had inc buttons set on the upper side of the sleeves for a change, and it became the fashion, to have them there, and the tailors have been. sewing them there ever since.

PRESIDENT OF
 CUBA IS TO
 VISIT WILSON

Washington, Aug. 25 - President Menocal of Cuba. 1t was learned yes terday, is expected to have a confer ence with President Wilson in Wash ington within the next month or six weeks. In Havana the administration papers have stated that Menocal would confer with MT. Wilson about the high cost of living and discuss ways and means of remedying it.
 Information reaching other quar- ters here is that Menocal is disturbed over the possibility that Major Gen eral Crowder, who during his recent two visits to Cuba, drew up a new set of election laws, might also recommend that the United States government assume the role of fiscal adviser to the Cuban government, thus exercising some check over the expenditures of public funds. This, 1t Is reported, Menocal emphatically does not want.
 Also it is reported that Menocal is disturbed over an agitation conduct ed by members of the Liberal party in Cuba for United States supervision over the next Cuban Presidential election. Menocal is understood not ho oppose the enactment of the cleo ,n laws recommended by General M -Eder, but he does not wish this Pgovernmeut to go further.
 In the near future, according to the reports from Havana, a resolu- tion will be introduced in the Cuban Congress permitting the President to leave the country in order to have this conference with President Will son. In copying the United States Constitution the Cubans went 1t one better, writing in a provision that the President must not leave the country during his term of office.

be no rancor, no bitterness. Rather was there a certain kindliness and friendliness, as though they still re- membered each others likes and dis Hl1es-that one took sugar in coffee and the other didn't. The woman was so fresh and bright looking in a pink dress and cerise sailor hat that one wondered how. any man could really go after the "other" woman 2s she alleged. The magistrate finally decreed that the husband should sup port their child, but that he be al lowed to see her twice each week.
 T tell you he makes S25 a week." shrieked one fiery little woman to the Judge. Her husband protested that he only made $15, whereupon his wife cast him look of scorn and shrugged her shoulders in the direc-
 tion of the Judge as much as to say, Don't believe a thing he says" When it was finally decided that she and her husband left and later were seen chatting in a most friendly fashion on the steps of the court

We're the Crust
OF the Earth
BY HoNoRA coSTiGAN
Director Minnesota Public Health As

SoCfaktOn
We're made of the crust of the
earth, because we are made from food
which is plants or made from plants,
which are made from the soil, which is
the crust of the earth
The biologists definition of soil is
that it is the superficial layer of rock
waste which with various other mate
rails covers the surface Of the earth
more or less completely.
For our purpose however, we may
say that the soil ~ the crust ST the
earth
This crust contains many of the exc
ments which we find in plants and in
our own bodies. Indeed it supplies the
materials out of which the plants and
finally-we- are made The plants
are the little factories which take in
these elements and change them into
foods ready for our use; Just as cot
ton and wool must be made into cloth
before they can be made into clothing.
Have you ever though about all the
| plants as your servants? That is what
they really are. They spend their lives
working for you, so that you may h2vs
plenty to eat and in supplying yoa,
with food they build up your body. and
! help to make you strong.
| The plants supply US with food d.
rectly when they give us vegetables
and grains as our food. They provide
| us with food indirectly when they feed
/ the animals and fowls which later be-
| come our foods, or which give Us food
| in the shape of milk and eggs.
Let us take beefsteak as an example
of food obtained indirectly from the
soil. The COW eats grasses and hardy
green plants and grain. food which
man has not been accustomed to using,
! but which are rich in certain of the
| important elements, and makes this
food into her own body. We eat it as
meat. In that state it is protein from
the cows body.
MIX and eggs are the grains. vege
tables, and grasses which are pre-,
digested, which means that whatever
nourishment the COW or hen takes in Is
converted into the products that ",
can use, -e.
