Finest of All LANGUAGES.

There is no modern language to
compare with the ancient Hellenic
tongue. There never was a language
it's equal. As scholars have said,
every other speech compared to the
ancient Greek is stammering. Other
tongues have their merits and defects,
but the Greek has all the merits com.
bined and none of the defects. It is
the perfection of speech. As a Ian
guage for affairs it Is as direct as
the English or Latin; as language
for philosophy it is as good as the
German and for science is better; as
the language of polite society it is as
elegant as the French; and it is more
melodious than the best Tuscan Ital.

ity il improved by cleaning or drying
the grain cannot be disposed OF ad'
vantageously.
Moreover, grain containing impur-
tiles, foreign matter, or a high mols'
ture content is quite likely to become
hot in transit. which greatly reduces
its value and frequently results in
serious financial loss. If the elevator
is not provided with suitable equip
ment for this process, such grain must
be shipped in the condition lin which
it is received.
The farmer should not place all re-
sponsibility for cleaning grain on the
elevator, it is believed. 1t should ne
remembered that elevator managers
do not pay grain prices for the DIRT
and water found in a farmers grain.
The price should be established by
taking into consideration the neces'
sary expense of placing the grain in
marketable condition. The farmer
who delivers clean, dry, sound grain
should receive a premium over the
price paid to the more careless farm
err who delivers grain of inferior quail
ity, specialists say.

As a general rule, therefore, canta-

of cantaIoupes are directly dependent
on the care exercised to prevent me-

TRAGEDIES TRACED TO OIL

for the Deaths Of Many AMI
mails and Birds.

THAT almost unerring instinct when
carries animals through grave dangers
has led in many instances In the Nl'o-
wav and Sunset oil fields of CaIlFor-
n,a TO their undoing. Chief among
such victims are rabbits and water
fowl.
A iackrabbit and a cottontaIl IN"
q nice round smooth hole. There are
many such in the oil fields where OH
mining is a necessity for the trans
nortation of oil to the retainers. Inc
rabbits decide to set up housekeeping
there The cottontail desires a per-
manent home and the jackrabo't
wants refuge safe from malevoIent
man.
Soon they discover their habitat IS
being moved. No doubt they are
frightened, but they instinctively stay
within their retreat. One enc OF the
hole is closed. Even then they GO
not leave. Soon the other end OF 'he
hole Is darkened. Then 1t IS dark
ness eternal for the furry pair.
Some time later it Is discovered
that a newly laid oil pipe line IS
choked. After great labor the line is
disiointed and the remains OF many
rabbits removed. Thousands OF RAD
bits have been thus eXterminated IN
the oil fields.
The death rate among WATERFOWL
Is even greater. Again, as with the
