How Many Presidents?

Percentages intrigue our fancy. So
when We read that 30 per cent OF
our presidents have been college men"
we wonder how many that WAS. Tween
;y-seven men have held the office, and
on that basis 1885 were college men.
But Mr.. Harding may he included and
that would indicate that 1914 We're col
ic-e men, The fractions grow worse !;
It looks us though someone were be-
ing lnsulted. There is further pos
sibility; some folks reckon Grover
Cleveland as the twenty-second and
the twentyfourth president. This
duality of Mr.. Cleveland would make
Mr. Harding the twentyninth Presi-
dent. It's strange thing that in SO
important Il matter, men cannot agree
Oh how many presidents the country
has lad And when one comes to frac-
tional Presidents, the task Of the per-
centage gatherer proves hopeless.-Mll-

One Of the most original election adj

BUFFALO ON THE. INCREASE
--latest Reports Show That tho Animal
10 Not Likely to Become Extinct,
at Any Rate.

The fear that existed not long ago
lest the native buffalo would soon be-
come extinct is dlspelled by report Of
tho" American Bison society, which
states that there were 1898 wild and
tame buffalo in the United States in
January, 1920. This Is an increase Of
about 300 per cent since 1908, In which
year there were l,116 wild and tame
buffalo in this country.
Of.the nine goyernment-owned herds,
two Of the largest under the care of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture are located in the Wichita nation
al game preserve, Oklahoma, and on
the national bison range at Dixon,
aont. The hero on the Wichita pre-
serve now numbers 1874, including %
calves Of this year. In this herd four
bulls and II cows are ten years Of age
or over. and one COW is twenty-nine
years old. The is animals that con-
stituted the original Wichita herd came
from the New York Geological park.
It is planned this year to dispose OF
some Of the surplus buffalo in the gov
eminent herds in accordance with the
provisions made by the 1919 appropria-
tiOnal bill for their care. Public parks
and municipalities are the largest pa
irons. BY distributing the animals
over the country. II disease or mis-
fortune overtakes the main herds, there
still will be stock left with which
groups could be built up again.

Power In Palm oi.

4 We have thought Of palm oil in

never associated it with those devilish

near when not only the fatty Juice Of
