Best TO Forqet Family Tree.

Possibly Il should be a source OF
pride to us that a group Of able sclen-
lists say we are not descended from
monkeys. hut that monkeys are degen-
crate descendants Of our own race.
The recent discoveries Of prehistoric
human remains indicate that our fam
fly is much older than We supposed.
This Is very nice. but the accompany
ing details are the usual results one
finds in running up family trees. These
ancestors of ours who throve SO many
aeons ago were impossible people So
clally from all accounts, and we are
wonderful Improvements upon them In
every way.
Gratitude that a race may feel In
being relieved OF the stigma Of slmlan
ancestry is therefore not unalloyed
with the unpleasant. There are no In
dications in scientific research that a
Society OF the Sons Of the Dawn Men
will ever be popularEToledo Blade.

June. The condition of $50,
compared to 75go last year and
10-year average of 1870, indi-
Gates 11.9 bushels per acre a.
gainst 1919 last year, totaling
.32, $4,000 bushels compared to
80, 721,O 900 in 1920. Overaows
during June carried off thous-
ands of acres of wheat along the
Usage and other streams.
Wheat instead of ripening nat
urally in June apparently died
within a day or two" evidently
from rust and blistering sum
shine. Heads are generally short
and poorly filed. but there is
plenty of straw everywhere.
tnreshing returns, thus far, ara
disappointing in most section.
Threshing has been delayed by
wet weather, and considerable
wheat has been damaged in the
shock.
Missouri oats are 729c against
1872 a year ago, with 1871 the
! 10-year average. The July con-
dition indicates 24,9 bushels per
acrd, totaling AS, 965,OO0 bush
els against 81, 198,OOO in 1920.
Thus 1921 is the lowest acre
yield since 1916 and two bush
els less than the 10-year aver
age. Storms the latter half of
June lodged much of the grain,
preventing harvesting at the
proper time, and resulting in
loss in many places, live stock
having been turned in to save
the crop.
Hay condition 79T compared
to 80 last year, 1870 the l0-year
average, indicating LOB tons
per acre against LA last year
with 1O-year average of LOT,
forecasting S,OlS,OOO tons a
gainst S,327,OOO in 1920. The
crop is thin and weedy. Alfalfa
1917, clover 77S, millet $40,
grain sorgum S9fo, cowpeas
800, and soybeans are late.

Missouri Crops, July, 1871.
Jefferson City, July 19.-Mis-

965, 900 bushels of oats on L.
846, 900 acres, and have $685.

cording to farmer-made returns
in the state-federal July crop
report announced today by E.

178, 900 less than the FIVE year
average. The July condition of

dicates 29.7 bushels per acre,
totaling 1876, sos 900 against the
July 1920 prospect of 1910
600 bushels. Corn improved
rapidly during June and is gen.
orally clean, a good stand and
dark green color. Occasionally
sections are weedy, due to lack
Of cultivation, and in some COM
munities the plants are late and
small.
Northwest Missouri has ex-
cellent prospects in portions of
Holt and Atchison mhere it has
been too dry. Northeast Mis-
souri, was somewhat too dry, al
so several counties in the south
east, where the crop is ten days
to two weeks late. The sections
suffering from drouth were re.
lieved somewhat the last days
of June and first days Of July.
In middle and west sections OF
the state corn grew so fast that
needed cultivation has not beer
given in all fields. Chinch bugs
are appearing on corn in the
eastern counties from Clark tt
Warren and at scattered points
on the west side as far south as

MAE DESM Nd IN
EYES OF YOUTH"

There is more than usual interest
in the forthcoming production of A.
H. Woods dramatic novelty, Eyes
Of Youth" by Miss Mae Desmond
and her players at the Metropolitan
Opera House, Philadelphia, week Of
Sep. IL. 1t is a synnbolical and allie
gorical study Of a girls search for
guidance within herself. The crystal
symbolizes her own heart, and the
incidents revealed in the crystal rep
resent the self understanding that
has come to her. The play consists Of
three acts and four episodes, each ep-
ISOLDE being the INSTALLATION Of the
revelations in the crystal ball. Both
in its story and inits production, the
play is said to be one Of the most ex-
traordinarily effective dramas.

GREENWICH VILLAGE REVIEW
AT THE CASINO

Sam Morris selected the timely top

the Greenwich Village Review, the
attraction at the Casino Theatre,
Philadelphia, week Of Sep. II. He in
PRODUCES the audience to an amusing
comedyrole of an amateur detective
trying to solve the mysteries of New
York's most famous bohemian center,
namely, Washington Square. Har1
court heads into many unusual ad
ventures and the flood of mix-ups
and complications provide a never
failing fund of comedy. Frank Har-
court carries most Of the comedy re-
sponsibilities and has excellent sup
port from Tom SIENNA, Kitty Glasco,
Libby Hart, Shaw and Lee, Gertrude
Weber, Al Ulis and Ida Bernard. In
addition to this efficient cast there
is a chorus Of twenty-five girls which
is as pre-eminent for its quality as
for its quantity, as each girl in addit-
ion to being beautiful, is a good sing
er and capable dancer.

Disabled Veterans OF The World War

To those who whine and pass out
when troubles overtake them, it may
be an inspiration to look at this ag-
gregation of men who fought and suf'
fered in France. These Vets" first
came into prominence as result Of
their splendid record as baseball
nine. Its baptism being a game play
ed against the college varsity. When
you stop to consider that the team
constituted one perfect, and eight
damaged heroes, their record is a
highly credible one. To be exact, the
the team is made up of one legged
pitcher, two fingered second base
man and left fielder, a neck and
spinal wounded third baseman, leg
riddled and gassed first baseman, a
spine wounded catcher, an all shot
away centre fielder. and an undam-
aged short stop. Several Of these vet
Grams made the varsity nine and did
good service. The one legged pitcher,
