ing a Woman's Life.

washington.-Postm Will 81.
Hays probably is the happiest man in
Washington today. His slogan
"Humanize the Postoffice Department"
has been carried out to what appears
to be the limit. Here is the story:
In a little Nebraska farmhouse a
woman lay dying for lack of medical
attention. The nearest physician was
DR.. Selby at North Platte. True, North
Platte was only two miles away. but
between the dying woman and the
physician was the South Platte river,
flooded to a raging torrent that had
swept away every bridge near and
far.
DIR. Selby had telephoned to every
town within radius of twenty miles.
At each turn 1t was the same dis
heartening story-bridges gone and
no way Of fording the turbulent
waters

THIS MAKES MIR. HAYS HAPPY

Just when all hope seemed gone,
DIR. Selby remembered something.
Somewhere he had read that the post
master general was "humanizing" the
pOstoffice department. He rushed to
the telephone and asked c. A. Sluder,
manager Of the air mail field at North
Platte. TO take him across the river in
an airplane.
Sorry" said Sluder. but couldn't
without getting authority from Wash
ington first"
"But the woman is dying" the ply
stefan urged.
'In that case" replied Sluder, I'VE
will take you first and get the author
ity afterward."
So il was that the life of woman
in an humble Nebraska farmhouse
was saved just because the postoffice
department has been humanized. And
so ii is that Postmaster General Hays
is probably the happiest man In Wash
ington.

the evolution we can only conjecture,
for when the white settlers came 10
America they found not the tiny wild
teosinte, but Indian corn, or maize
bearing S-inch ears with ii rows or
improved kernels to the ear-natures
response TO the simple plant-breedln&
methods of the savage 1t is not even
known how long the Indians had been
cultivating this improved corn. That
it was long before the appearance OF
Europeans. however, is evident not
only from it's early and widespread
cultivation by tribes of the area now
embraced in the United States. but
from the fact that indications of its
cultivation are found i'm mounds and
in the ancient pueblo ruins and cliff
dwellings.
In 1873. during the Revolution, Gen.
! eral Sullivan led the famous punitive
expedition against the IrOquOis Give
NatiOns) in central New York. His
mission was to destroy the villages
| and crops of the Indians. The Iro-
quOis lived in fixed habitations and
had thousands Of acres of corn and
orchards, and it was good corn and
well cultivated, with pumpkins be-
| tween the rows.
| Nowadays the annual corn crop OF
the wOrld-and it is grown from Can
ada to the Argentine republic and
in parts of Europe, Asia. Africa and
Australia-amOunts TO approximately
three billion bushels, three-quarters
of which is grown in the United
States, where it exceeds in value the
combined wheat and cotton crops, OF
approximately four billion dollars.
1t must be remembered, too, that
the corn which the white men found
the Indian cultivating here, there was
undoubtedly a very long period of the
so-called pod corn, i'm which eacl
kernel was enclosed i'm a sheath. Wher
it is considered that the elimination
of this sheath in itself unquestionabl.

may be gained of the probable tOta
