Man Far Outnumbered
by Lesser Creature.

1t Is probable that few persons
save naturalists ever consider the
enormous amount of life other than
human which exists in any locality,
owned or not, densely peopled OF
lnlnly settled. A plague of rats in
London within recent years prompt
ed an interview with distinguished
scientist, who estimated that within
the area Of Greater London there
were 2O,OO0,00O rats, more than
three times as many rats as peo-
pie.
Sparrows undoubtedly come next
In point of numbers among Lon
don's warm-blooded population, but
the scientist preferred to make his
estimate cover all the birds of the
United Kingdom. He believed that
the bird population would average
SOO to the square mile. That would
4 give a total of nearly 97,OOO,O0O.
Thus the bird population, outnum-
bered the human by something like
two to one.
1 AS for the insect population, that
is quite beyond any statistician.
But allowing that each bird
eats only SO insects a day, British
birds would consume more than a
billion insects in year. Yet such
an estimate seems quite futile
when we consider that the insect
population of single cherry tree
infested with aphides was estimated
by competent authority to be
100000.

The reformers have been having a rather diff
cult time in the past few years telling women wha,
they should and should not wear. Chicago has been
conducting crusade proper apparel at the bath
ing beach and the authorities have given up the
task as hopeless. In commenting on womens appar.
ell Arthur Brisbane, says:
The world has travelled far from the day when
women were driven from public beaches if thew
wore no stockings. Now all the backbone may
show, except the last joint.
No need to worry, however. Give woman the
right to wear nothing at all and she will i'm
mediately cover herself from head to foot
That's her nature.
The eighteenth amendment had a similar effect
Just soon law passed forbidding the
male of the species the right to take snfter when
he wanted it those who had not imbibed for years
straightway went and got shot of bootleg. This
personal liberty" stuff is hard to contend with.

GEN. HARTFORD SPEAKS OUT

Declaring that the prevailing tendency to regu-
late the lives of citizens by Federal commissions is
unconstitutional, Major General James G. Harbord
president of the Radio Corporation of America,
recent address stressed the intolerable growth of
bureaucracy and official meddling on the part of
government agencies.
He pointed out that "a independent commissions
for the regulation of this and that have been set up
by Congress at cost of more than $550,000,000 a
year. These bodies neither legislative, executive
nor judicial exercise functions partaking of the
character of all three Once established these COM
missions continually seek and arrogate to themselves
more and more power to harass and Cypress the
public Following the example of the Federal gov
eminent each state has set up it's own quota OF
similar bodies to further burden the taxpayers.
AS an indication of the futility, as well as the
manifest Injustice of these inquistoria agencies,
General Harbord cites the Federal Trade Commits
sion declaring that 40 per cent of it's complaints are
finally dismissed by the commission itself as unbound
cd while in the remaining cases than 60 per
cent of its decisions have been thrown out by the
courts

Law of Gravity Not
an Obstacle to Incas

The ancient Inca fortress of
Sacsahuaman is located on noun
tain summit 7O4 feet above the city
of Cuzco, Peru, which is in itself
10000 feet above sea level. 1t is
made of huge, massive stones, some
of which measure 30 by II feet, and
are very thick. Though irregular
in outline, they are fitted together
so perfectly that knife blade can
not be inserted between them.
How the seemingly impossible
feat of getting these stones to the
summit was achieved is explained
by the mystics of India. The Egyp-
tians who built the pyramids, so the
legend goes, and the ancient Incas,
both knew how to suspend the law
Of gravity, having learned it from
the mystics Of the lost Atlantis.

HIGH GRADE MATERIAL FOR GOVERNOR

A number of the newspapers of the state have
broadcast editorial feelers" suggesting Rudolph Lee
the able editor of the Long Prairie Leader as the
Republican nominee for Governor in 1890
Other excellent candidates will be in the lime
light but the Long Prairie mans splendid work for
the Improvement of agricultural conditions in the
Northwest will bring to his aid the almost solid sup
port of the newspapers of Minnesota, regardless of
their politics.
The suggestion of his name in connection with
governorship is being very gladly received by Sank
Centre folks, as they know Mr.. Lee comes from
splendid stock; that his integrity is unquestioned;
that his ability is outstanding and that chief ex-
ecutive, he would give the people of the North Star
state an administration the equal of which we have
not had in generation.

A. NJ. WELLES, JOURNALIST OF NOTE,
RETIRES

A. M. Welles, former editor of the Herald, sang
his swan song publisher of the Worthington Globe
in the issue of last week
This weeks paper will be issued by the new
owner, G. M. Vance, of Sheldon, Iowa.
Bro. Welles has been identified with the Fourth
Estate for well over 40 years. first reporter and
city editor the Minneapolis dailes and for more
than 30 years publisher of newspapers at Redwood
Falls, Sank Centre and Worthngton. Always a
square shooter and fearless he made enemies be-
of his fearless championship of men and meas
ures he believed to be right.
The Old Guard of the Minnesota editorial pro.
fession hold Bro. Weles in very high regard and re-
we're his friendship. At 76 years of age he is hale
and hearty. He plans spending the rest of his
life in retirement The Herald doubts his ability to
enjoy his we'll earned rest because men of his &C
tive physical and mental capacity find it hard to set
down and watch the rest of the world go BY
In the last issue of the Globe Bro. Welles takes
a retrospective glance backward for rs years and
draws the natural conclusion that he has lived In
wonderful age. The following are his conclusions:
CHANGING backward over the rs years that l
have lived in it, reveals miraculous progress

JARDINE SEES
PROSPERITY FOR
CATTLE RAISERS

An explanation Of the prcsen;
relatively high price Of beef and
beef cattle appears i'll the annual
report Of the Secretary Of Agricul-
turc "Rpcords Of the last 28 years
show Jardinc writes, "that un-
der normal business conditions thu
prosperity Of the cattlcmcn in this
country varies invcrsely with the
per capita supply Of beef available
fer consumption. a yearly supply
in excess of 81 pounds per person
tends to dpprcss cattle prices to
such levels as to force liquidatio?.
On the other hand, 4 per capita sup
ply maintained at or below TINT
amount Will bring about rise in
prices. In 1926 the per capita supply
Of beef amounted to G3.3 pounds.
In 1927 it dropped to JS pounds,
and average cattle prices advanced
Is per cent. For the current year
the Tcr capita supply viii probabl%
not exceed 81 pounds, and will b.
the smallest for any year for which
records are available. As Il result
aTcragn prices for cattle during til"
first eight months were - per cent
higher than in 1872 and IA per cent
above those in 1885,
As regards the futarc, the report
continues: "Tha cattle INDUSTRY
has dcfinit" cycle averaging fronr
II 10 Is years. Apparently it ia
now near the low point Of the Pre-.
duction cycle and the high point
Of the price cycle. Previous similac
points occurred in 1912 AMI 1898.
1t requires three to four years to
sufficiently increase beef supplies
