Announces 'Calldidacy
 For 1930

MANTECA, Cal. Jan. 11.-A veteran of two wars and 9S years old, w. H. Ranes, farmer near here, has started his campaign for political office early. He has announced that he will be cah- dldate for township Justice of the Peace in 1890.
 Ranes, thrice married was born near Lima, Ohio, in 1880, leaving home when he was 16 yeas old and participating in the Mexican War. He went to the Civil War later.
 The veteran has lived near here since 1918, raising water melons with his daughter as housekeeper. Confident he will live way past hundred, " Ranes is what may be called a "dirt farmer" doing all of his own work and most of the chores about his farm.
 He has no recipe for longevity, pointing with pride to the ages reached by his ancestors, all Irish.

From his examination of this number, he finds that senator's brain weighs two ounces more than that of the representative The representative is inferior to the senator in legislative ability But the brain weight of the aver age member of congress is dis tinctly higher than the general average for all persons.
 Stated in figures, the average senator's brain weighs 52 ounces. The representatives, tops the scales at 50 ounces. The senator has 921 credits for legislative abil- ity. The representative has only 25S. All of the S9 members to- gether, average 392 credits for legislative ability and for brain weight, 51 ounces.
 Legislative ability depends on the number of bills, amendments, motions and resolutions introduced, and the number of these reported only, passed by either house only, and those enacted into law also upon frequency of remarks and number of subjects discussed upon the floor, and the number of com mittee 'reports.)
