Representatives of the American Legion have brought grave indictments against the management of the Irene Byran Tuberculosis hospit#l in Allen county of which Noble county is a patron.

AS THE WORLD LOOKS AT IT! Much Truth, If Poor Merality, In Old Gentleman’s Explanation of , 'Ethics of Teday. 2 Secretary Hoover said at a luncheon in New York: . : “Let me tell you a story about oldschool morals—the kind of morals we've outgrown. ; “Pop,’ said a littie boy, 4f I steal & nickel out of yeur pocket, that's stealing, isn't it? : “‘You bet it is’ said the little boy’s father, ‘and you'd Fo to' jJall for it too.” : ~“‘Suppose I bet a nickel on a game of euchre and won, that’s gambling, ain’t it, pop? . “‘Sure is, son, and you know where gamblers—wind up—gallows or poor~ house, every time.’ “‘But, pop, suppose I cornered gl the quinine in the world, or all the chloroform, or all the wheat—something the world can’t get along without, you know—and suppose I ran the price up a thousand per cent, or a million per cent, what would that be, pop? . : ‘ “The: father’'s eye beamed, and patting his boy on the back, he sal@ with & proud laugh: : ; “¢That would be business genius, sheer business -genfus. You'll have mankind at your feet if you ever accomplish that.’'” - : :

ANTELOPE BEING WIPED OUT

Despite Possession of Remarkable Signaling System the Animals ~ Are Rapidly Disappearing. =

" The American pronghorn antelope is approaching extinction. Formerly roaming from the Saskatchewan to Mexico, and east to the Missouri river, it is now confined -to a few hundred wild animals and a few more in enclosures, ; .

Roving creatures, easily the swiftest runners on the continent, ‘living mainly in the open, they have become easy prey for long-range rifies when fleet-footed enemies were easily outdistanced. . Even their remarkable signaling system has not saved them. Krnest Seton-Thompson has explained how, on approach 'of some strange object, the antelope through a set of muscles raises with a jerk the hairs on the white rump patches on either side. This flash shines afar like a patch of snow, and the message is read by all who have noses to read, for with the flash of hair is liberated an odor of .musk from a gland located in a patch of brown hair in the white bloom. ‘ . i

The flash is given and away théy gO. If the flash is not seen their keen sense of smell carries the message even over long distances. _

What Becomes of Rainfall,

One ton of water to three-pounds of flour is nature’s recipe for making wheat bread, according to figures on rainfall published by the bureau of solls in the Department of Agricul-

" By controlling the water supply in irrigation, accurate measurement is possible, and this estimate is of the mipimum requirement. Many crops need five times as much water. . What becomes of all the water? Of a ton of water falling on a dozen square feet of sofl during the year, about one-third sinks through and is drained off umnderground. Only a little runs off the surface if the field is well plowed. A little evaporates immediately and the rest is held in the soll. As the surface dries, the moisture in the soil soaks up by capillary attraction and evaporates off the surface. But by far the greater amount is drunk by the roots of. the plants, drawn up into the leaves and breathed back in vast guantities into the atmosphere. :

One Little Grain of Wheat.

One grain of wheat will produce 100 hexillion grains in the tenth year, an agricultural professor.told a group of visiting farmers at the Pennsylvania State college. He wasn't quite sure that “hexillion” was the correct word, but here is the way he wrote it: 100, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000. There would be wheat grains enough, he sald, to string four billion chains of it from the earth to the sum., Indeed, the crop of wheat, long before the tenth generation, would be se large that the earth would not be big enough to provide space to replace the entire crop—Bucks County Dally News.
