GUS aliases under which the jack bean
is known. Pearson beam" wonder
beam" "Wataka beam" "Gotani beam"
South American coffee beam" etc,
are only a few Of the names in, which
the jack mean has been rechristened.
1t has some value in the south as
green-manure crop. and there is ev-
idence to show that it may be good
silage crop when cut green.
Cattle do not relish the jack bean
hay, nor do they make gains upon the
ground seed, which product they must
be taught to eat.
The bean is eaten by natives of Mex
leo, but most experimenters describe
it as fiat and coarse in flavor.
The seed Contains a large proper
ton Of material known as urease,
and used In medicines, but the demand
for this product is extremely limited
After all, the scientists warn the
prospective buyer of i''wonder beans"
to have specimen identified, or else
confne the first paintings to small
areas until the doubtful values Of the
bean are better established and bet

DOUBTFUL WORTH OF
PROLIFIC JACK BEAN
Scientists Find Little to Favor
West Indian Plant.
In Southern Sections 1t Has Some
Value as Green Manure Crop
Cattle Do Not Makes Profitable
Gains on Ground seed.

Savage disciples of Voodoo worship
in the American tropics ascribe SUI
pernatural powers to the jack bean.
These tribesmen plant a row of the
seed around their rude gardens in the
belief that the plant will punish tres
passers. This custom was doubtless
brought by negro slaves from Afri-
ca. where the very similar sword or
fetch bean is thus worshiped. But
the bureau of plant industry. United
States department of agriculture, fails
to support this weird belief concern
ing the bean Nor do these scientists
find much else to recommend this
plant stranger from the West Indies.
The jack bean. it appears from
abundant experiments, is prolific

quently crops at the rate of 16 to 20
tons per acre. This wonderful pro-
ductiveness makes the bean favorite
of the get-rich-quick gentry who seek
to introduce a new and marvellous
commercial plant. This popularity

counts in part, a. least, for the nuner-

ASKING A LITTLE TOO MUCH
Under the Circumstances Actor Was
Justified in Refusing Parts
Manager Allotted Him.

Owing to the limitations of his
purse the manager of a theatrical
show on the road travelled with q
show company.
Une afternoon he called one of his
players to him and remarked:
"Look here, Wellington, you'll have
to play three parts tomorrow night in
The Silent Foe'-Henderson Uncle
Bill, and the Spider"
"Can't do it," retorted Wellington
briefly. but firmly.
Cant do it? Won't do it, you
meant" snorted the manager. "Why
won't you do it?"
Because it can't be done. No hui
man being could play these three parts
at the same time. In the third act Hen.
derson and the Spider have a fight
and old Uncle Bill rushes in to sep.
arate them"

retail truck or wagon from the other
side of the house. There is no inter.
mediate handling or carriage. Cold
storage plants and auction rooms are
also a part of a good terminal food
market.
Buying Simplified for Retailer.
This system of food distribution ex,
pedites the unloading of cars. Under
present terminal conditions unloading
is often slow and every week in the
year many cars of perishable products
spoil before they reach the wholesaler
or even get inside the railroad yards.
A well-planned city terminal food
| market has adequate trackage, switch
es and platforms, which facilitate the
| unloading, of the cars and prevent
congestion inside and outside the
yards. Quick release Of cars is i'm
Rportant If crops are to be moved be
1 fore they perish. Furthermore, the
retailer finds his buying simplified
when all the food products are con-
centrated in, one place, and the work
of the food, Inspector. too, becomes
easier.
The biggest saving in money, how.
ever, comes in lessened carriage and
less handling and deterioration of the
food. Where the wholesale district
of city Is remote from transporta.
tion lines, the carriage of the food
products from the freight house to the
wholesaler mounts into hundreds OF
thousands of dollars every year, al
Of which is added to the bill the con
sumer pays. This includes the cost
| and upkeep Of the trucks and wagons
/ and the wages paid the men who loat
! and unload them and sdrive.
Food SpoiIsge Costly.
To carriage cost must also be addet
the loss caused by the deterioration
! Of the food products during the trip

Siderable damage to perishabe prod
ucts in a short trip. The cost Of the

and the price the consumer pays goes

In some cities the food terminals

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
High food prices likely would re-
ceive q severe jolt if every city with
a population of 100000 or more would
establish city food terminal for its
Wholesale trade, the bureau of mar.
kets of the United States department
of agriculture believes.
All large European cities have such
markets and they have proved very
helpful in keeping down the COST of
food distribution. The cities of this
country have been slow in adopting
any kind Of a unified terminal system.
Most of them are getting along as best
they can with no plan. All but those
of the smallest size usually have sew
eral scattered terminals at which food
products are unloaded from train, boat
or truck. Frequently the Wholesale
houses are located at some distance
from the freight depots. This neces-
states loading the products into a
truck or wagon, carting them across
the city, and unloading them again
at the wholesale house.
All these expenses add to the price
the consumer eventually pays for his
food. A city terminal market elini-
mates this unnecessary handling and
carriage, for under such an arrange
ment the wholesale district and the
terminal are brought together, and
the contents of cars or boats are sun-
loaded directly into the Wholesale
houses.
Delayed Planning Costly.
In recent years both New York and
Chicago have worked on the probl EN-
of establishing central terminal mar
ket, but the size of those cities makes
it difficult problem and as yet no
practical solution has been found. The
situation in these cities has awak en-
ed some of the smaller municipali-
ties--now growing at an amazing rate
to the value of unified terminal
system. and the necessity of install
ling one before congestion Increases.
Los Angeles and Atlanta, through
private capital, have been provided
with unified terminal markets, and
Seattle has wholesale municipal
market Other cities, in addition to
Chicago and New York, which are
working on this problem are Indian
apolis, Memphis, Tenn, and Wash
ington, D. @.
The idea of terminal food mar
ket is simple. Under the plan which
it Involves all wholesale houses are
built in a locality which is conve-
nient to all transportation lines. It
is not necessary or even desirable to
have them in the heart of the city,
where land values are high. The in
coming cargo of food is unloaded di-
rectly from the car or boat into a
wholesale house and is taken away by

Deeper realization Of the vital part
that education bears In the develop
ment of the true American citizen,
the essential element in the perpetuity
of the nation, was the dominant note.
Through all the addresses ran the
undercurrent that the educators of
the nation understand today, more
clearly than ever before, the solem-
nifty Of the duty that is laid upon
them, the high responsibility that Is
theirs in shaping the lives and char
acters of those who must soon con-
troll the destinies of the nation.
DR.. e. A. Smith, former superin-
tendent of Salt Lake City schools,
who made the address introducing
Chairman George d. Strayer, called
attention to the fact that the exec
utive officers Of the N. f. A. realize
the sweeping change that has come
over the minds of the people as to
the importance of education.
City Superintendent George N.
Child, who delivered the first of the
welcoming addresses. pointed out the
necessity for school legislation. which.
like that of Utah, is aimed to make
the student physically, mentally, vo-
cationally and morally efficient.
Governor Bamberger declared that
his experience during and since the
war have given him an insight into
the priceless value of education he
never before enjoyed.

made the official response. intermin-
gled his praise of Utah's progress
with terse expressions regarding the
power and influence of the teacher.
