 It sometimes happens that the first teeth are so firm that they do not fall out, but remain in the jaws and crowd back the second teeth, making them come in mishapen and irregular. IT, regular teeth and jaw may be remedied when child is young.

MILES AND MILES OF WHEAT.
About I2s.ss6 Box Cars Would Be
- Required to Move Il.

How many box cars does Kansas
need to move the wheat crop-and
the 20,000,000 or more bushels re-
naming from last years crop?
A little figuring ascertains that to
move the present crop, estimated at
147,O30,00 bushel and the "left
over" would require 125,5S8 box cars
with capacity or $4,000 pounds
each-1,333 bushels to the car.
These cars, In one train. allowing
40 foot the car, would make a train
013A miles In length which would
reach from the east to the west
border of the state two and one
third times.
But OF course the entire crop Is
not moved from the state. It is es-
timated that farmers retain six per
cent Of the crop for seed Of a good
crop year. The Kansas mills need
cars to move the greater portion OF
the wheat they use, but long hauls
are not required.
Travelling M the rate Of % miles
an hour, 1t would take 36h hours
for this train Of Kansas wheat to
pass a given point.

FARMERS ARE EAGER. TO SELL
Wheat Testing High and Coming m
EasL ocaI Miller Say.


Farmers Nm this locality-and the
condition is said to prevail in other
parts of the state-are hauling their
wheat early this year and anxious Ia
get II OFF their hands before there Il
any drop In prices, One local mill
er asserted that he has received more
new wheat up to this time than he
received up to the first Of October
last year. The weather has been
ideal for threshing and hauling and
there is no disposition among farm
"rs TO hold their grain for possible
higher prices. In one day one OF
the local mills was receiving wheat
from six threshing machines at the
same time.
The test Of the wheat this season
averages about so in this county and
much of II Is 90. some testing as
high as 81. AT many mills and ele-
vators In the central wheat belt they
have stopped testing the wheat and
are accepting II without test as No.
l. Here miilers say most Of the
wheat that is hauled is Of uniform
quality but they are still testing.
The price being paid by local mills
is $40, which is higher than in
most sections.
Because of the car shortage and
the condition Of the cars some of the
wheat which Is beng shipped in from
Western Kansas will be sacked for
shipment as the cars are not in shape
20 hold the grain in bulk. This is
not expected to be general however
rs in most cases the shippers will re-
pair the cars and take chance on
leakage.

Bogu. War Victims. /"

Begging always has been much more Of an
art in Europe than it has been in America.
Quite naturally, the war and conditions which
have followed it have given an impetus to
pauperism.
Germany, especially. notes great increase
in the number Of mendicants and in the variety
of ways they have Of appealing to sympathy.
In Berlin there is said to be a school" where
beggars are given instruction in Stimulating the
symptoms Of shell shock and gas snd shown
how to feign loss of members or their use by
reason of wounds. Pupils are taught to shake
in perfect imitation of one suffering from shock
and arms are strapped to the bodies so neatly
that It is impossible to see sign Of them. The
fraud became so common that the government
was Obliged to take the matter in hand and
make searching examination Of war victims.
who made . practice Of begging. In Hamburg
out Of 10 men 30 arrested only one was found
to have been really suffering from the efects
Of wound.
Such practices are Of interest in this coun-
try because they suggest some of the imposi-
tons that will be attempted upon Americana
who visit Europe during the next few years.

MINNIE.

MINNIE.
The simple little name of Minnie
has a most devious history. 1t or
iginated away back in Tuetonic
mythology. where according to the
story, when creation began the COW
Andumbla licked out of the stones
a man named Bur who was the
grandfather OF three primeval gods,
Odin, Fill and We, and it was these
three who gave life to the first pair
Of human beings. Will was the
Will of man. His name echoes
down through the ages Of Morse
mythology in various combinations
which SAVIOR boldly of Valhall and
prefaces many other names.
The Frank Queen Bilichilde was
really Willihilda, meaning resolute.
Her name was popular among Morse
maidens and even had vogue in
Teutonic countries. Wilhelm was
made in Germany" and signified
''resolute helmet" The feminine
counterpart Of this name was Will
helmina. Always popular in Ger
many, It was adopted by England
and penetrated Holland, where the
most famous modern woman who
bears the name is Queen Wilhel-
nina, beloved Of the Dutch.

Consolidating Rural Schools.

People living in and near Coal Valley,
Reynolds and Hillsdale are fortunate in having
the opportunity to express themselves upon
consolidation Of schools. That the verdict will
be favorable at the spring election is sincerely
to be hoped and also that other rural COM
muniies will have the good sense to follow
their example.
School consolidation has been most desir-
able from nearly every angle for good many
years, but 1t il doubly important now that the
scarcity Of teachers has become SO acute. 1t
will mako il possible not only to give
more efficient instruction at lower cost
but also will materially increase the num-
Der Of pupils that each teacher can instruct
and SO reduce the number OF instructors
needed.
