HAVE MANY HUMAN TRAITS
Scientist Who Has Studied Monkeys
Makes Interesting Report Con-
corning Their Habits.

Monkeys flirt and make love. They
love to dance, and have some steps
that could be converted into modern
dances for humans. Like humans,
they are social creatures. They work
and play and rest together"
These are a few of the conclusions
reached by Professor Dohein of Bres-
lau, who has been experimenting re-
Gently with a number of monkeys and
chimpanzees from Guinea and the
Kamerun.
He discovered that they made espe-
cially strong friendships. Two of his
chimpanzees, Nan and Konsul, were
inseparable, while the whole company
showed tendency to cling together.
The monkeys have a rhythmic
sense and respond quickly to dance
music. They have several distinct
games of their own, resembling child's
play, and likewise indicate some signs
of military training, for they march
soldierlike.
Professor Dof1ein discovered, too
that monkeys have many of the
facial expressions and many gestures
of humans. They can easily register
pain, surprise, admiration, tenderness.
They have a language of their own.
They are quick to warn each other Of
danger. They have regular greetings.
Their alphabet is similar to the hui
man, but they can understand Span
ish more readily than other tongues.

Despair, grief and fear have quite

Anger causes the heart to act viO-

HOW TO FIGURE
COST OF CROPS
Farmer Enabled to Compute for
Himself Expense OF Produc-
ing Various Crops.
REQUIREMENTS or EACH CROP
II Precise Records Are Not Available
on Labor and Material Expendi.
lures Close Estimate Can Be
Made of That Section.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Figures from which the farmer can
compute for himself the cost of pro-
duction of corn corn for silage, wheat,
oats, and hay, under given conditions,
are presented in preliminary report
on labor and material requirements Of
those crops, recently issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. These figures cover the normal
hours of man labor and horse labor,
and quantities of seed, fertilizers, etc.,
required per acre for each crop, as
determined by surveys by the office of
farm management and farm econom'
les.
Apply Basic Factors.
The money cost is found by apply
ing to these basic factors the current
rates for labor, seed, etc. Inasmuch
as it has been found that, in general,
labor and material costs approximate
so per cent of the total operating cost
for these crops, it is easy to find this
total when the labor and material costs
are known.
The figures given represent average
crop requirements for the regions
where Investigations have been made
If the farmer does not have precise
records of labor and material expendi-
mate them pretty closely by taking the
average for his own region as basis
and applying current rates for labor
and materials, with due allowance for
any unusual conditions that may exist
in his own case. The method Of COM
putation Is as follows:
1. Determine the total cost Of labor
and material per acre by applying cur
rent rates to the quantities of labor
and materials obtained from the in
dividuars own records, or, If such are
not available, use those given in the
table.
2. Determine the total operating ex-
pense per acre by dividing the cost of
labor and material by the percentage
figure given for each region.
3. Determine the total acre cost OF
production by adding the interest
charge or the cash rent paid for the
use of land.
4. To determine the cost per bushel
or ton divide the total acre cost by
the yield per acre.
The following example shows how
this method worked out in figuring
the cost of corn for silage on an Iowa
farm:

Mint Once Privately Owned.

Uncle Sam didn't always have a

bills, nor did he have any particular
laws governing his money. Then one
day three men opened a mint of their

grew the United States mint in Den
yer; law forbidding private coinage
was enacted, law forbidding imitat-
ing United States coin or bill and
various and sundry other laws that
Uncle Sam now has thrown around his
money and its production.
This private Denver mint, too, is
responsible for the thousand or more
men drawing good salaries to see that
these various laws are obeyed, and
courts and lawyers for many years
past have worked and are working
because of this mint.
