Madrid without Papers.

MADRID.-In almost any other of
the worlds cities 1t would be con-
sidered a calamity to be without
newspapers. Madrid has Just passed
through such an experience in a

dustriai city of Spain.
Absence of the newspapers passed
almost unnoticed because the people
of Madrid are not a newspaper-read-

small. Many a small town news

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July "a
Low buildings erected on expansive
lots are more profitable than sky
scrapers towering into the air in the
opinion of various members of the
national association of building
owners and managers expressed at
their annual convention here. This
is contradictory to the generally ac-
cepted theory of realty men.
Reading a paper at n of the
sessions on Analysis of the Com
parative Investment Value of ONCE
of Various Heights" Edwin
S. Jewell, of Omaha an advocate of
the low building theory, said that
since land values are enhanced by
the increase in population in a Sec
ton and not by the size of buildings
1t, structures under ten stories in
height were more profitable in that
a saving would be made on the
tremendous cost of foundation and

ed conclusively in Harrison county. If
the soil is poor in lime these legumes
will not grow satisfactorily, A farm
err near Eagleville had field, one
half sown to alfalfa and the other half
to sweet clover. Both were seeded
last year and neither the clover nor
the alfalfa were thriving. A number
Of the neighbors who had reported
similar experiences were called in and
a meeting held by the county agent to
determine the trouble. A glance at
the field showed stalks Of both clover
and alfalfa to be tall and dark green
while a large majority of them vert
only half as tall and were yellow in
color. The county agent took up a
number of the yellow stalks and
found no sign of incubation present.
The tall green stalks were in every in
stance found well inoculated. This in
spite of the fact that the farmer had
inoculated both the clover and alfalfa
before seeding last fall. Since his
methods of incubation were in ac-
cordance with those given by the Uni
versity Of Missouri College of Agri-
culture the trouble seemed to rest else
where. Soil samples were taken and
tested. Every sample showed the soil
to be extremely sour. The conclusion
was readily made that the acidity of
the soil had been the limiting factor.
The farmers in this community are
now planning to secure ground limo
stone by the carload to use on the al
falfa land.

CHINCH BUGS
MENACE LATE CORN

The chinch bugs and grasshoppers
which were very destructive in st.
Charles county were more or less sue
cessfully controlled by the farmers
using treatment recommended by
the county agent. This treatment was
poison bran mahhtfor the grasshop-
pers and dust and tar barrier for the
chinch bugs. The county agent re-
ports that severalg hundred acres of
corn in the county will probably be
destroyed by the, chinch bugs this
year even though climatic conditions
should change to the detriment of the
insect. Corn Is late and this coupled
with dry weather and the chinch bug
makes corn prospects gloomy. The
grasshopper troubles have been chief
ly in alfalfa and clover fields.

You ought to know. The former Is

OF a weakfing.
Do you hit your own home runs
or score your own ~knockouts or kick

II takes nerve to stand up to the

1t takes nerve to face a puncher who
can sock harder than you can 1t
takes nerve to plunge through a

In baseball they call this quality
stun, in boxing it's having a heart,
