are the most notable men and \Y / women in America? What hare they done to become “notable"?- How many ’ ’ of these notables are there? From what environments did they spring, and where do they Mve now? "Who'i Who in America" answers these questions for you. Volume 14. 1926-1927. is just off the grass and ready again to tell the world in 2.271 pages the Important facts about 26.915 men. women and—yes. children, who, in the estimation es those who compile this monumental work, are •the beat known In all lines of useful and reputable achievement." "Who’s Who" was established away back in 1899 by Albert Nelson Marquis, then in the pubMsMlng and advertising business. Hts first volume, <watalning 8,602 sketches, was evidently a successful venture, for every other year since 1899 there has appeared a new edition each containing more materia) than its predecessor.

What are the qualifications for admittance? l»o you ask Is be included or do you wait to be asked? By all means wait to be asked. The publishers work on ths tbsory that if you are somebody your sasse will somehow drift Into their attention. Then they look into your claim to fnme, and if it appears that you merit some mention tn the big rad book, you receive a letter requesting you to head over certain information about yourself. This yoe are told to fill in on a blank which accompealen the letter You do thia, and presto! you’re a notable. On the basis of an estimated population of 114.000,000 for the United States tn 1926 It la cal <-slated that only one iwrson out of every 4.240 la able to break Into Who’s Who. And breaking la, tbq publisher emphasises, is accomplished solely by doing something worthwhile. It Is further emphasized that no one can pay money to get his name Into Who’s Who, and that the mere accumulation of wealth is not regarded as an achievement of sufficient Importance to call for mention in this bulky volume Says a sentence in bold face type on page 21: “Not a single sketch ia Who’s Who in America has been paid so and nona can be paid for.” Under the heading 'XJuallflcatlona for Admission to Who’s Who in America" we find the following: "The standards of admission . divide the oligibleo Into two classes: (1) those who are •elected on account of special prominence tn ■ reditable lines of effort, making them the sub iects of extensive interest, inquiry or discussion p ia this country; and (2) those who are arbitrarily included on account of official position—civil, ■dlitary, naval, religious, or educational. “The first of these two classes comprises per sees who have accomplished some conspicuous ■ •ch lev emen t -something out of the ordinary, so to speak—someth Ing which distinguishes them from the vast majority of their contemporaries.

The arbitrary class embraces without regard to notability or prominence in any other respect, ihe following: All members of congress: members of the cabinet: all United Staton judges; federal department beads; all governors of states, terri- • lories and Island possessions of the United States; all judges of state and territorial courts of highest appellate jurisdiction; all American ambassadors, and all ambassadors and ministers accredited to this country; all American console at Important »iacee in foreign countries; all living American authors of b<x>ka possessing more than ephemeral value; the attorneys general of the various states; all officers of the army above rank of colonel, and of the navy above the rank of captain; heads of all the larger universities and colleges; heads of the leading societies devoted to philanthropic, education and scientific alms; members of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Institute of Arts and Letters; bishops and chief ecclesiastics of all the larger religious denominations of the United States, and others who are tn like manner chosen because of official relations and affiliation** ’’ Ideating al random through the pages of Who's Who to an Interesting and not at all unprofitable pastime. For here you can trace the life histories of men whose names have become household words —captains of industry, scientists, judges and lawyers, reformers, churchmen, educators, doctors, warriors, politicians, actors and even movie stars.

Who were born on farina. Investigation reveals Small towns of leas than 8.000 population furnished another 24 per cent, while large cities contributed 20 per cent.

In proportion to population, however, the large cities furnished twice as many notables as the j average for the nation, the small cities two and three-tenths times as many, villages three times as many, and suburb* four times as many. Expressed tn another way: in proportion to the population. the cities contributed nearly six times as many notables as did the farms, whereas the village* contributed nearly nine times as many, and suburbs nearly eleven times as many as the farms. This to not taken as proof that eariy life on a farm was not conducive t<» future eminence. Numerous bits of Information indicate that a large number of the older American notables spent part of their youth on farms and considered that these experiences had been helpful In their de- ’ velopment. "Many, indeed, have spoken of them- i selves as having been reared on a farm when in fact they were born in a village or city and merely spent part of their formative period working on a | farm, usually their summer months.” says Prof, i Stephen Visber In reviewing these figures for ; Who’s Who. Occupations of the fathers of the notables in Who's Who were found to be as follows: 35.2 j per cent were business men; 34 per cent were pro- : fessional men; about 29 per cent were farmers: 6 per cent were skilled or semi-skilled laborers, and only one-half of one per cent unskilled laborers.

Garden Clean-Up to Kill Insects Saves Much Time and Money Next Year in Spraying and Dusting. A few hours spent In giving the garden a fall clean-up will save much time and expense next year in spraying and dusting to control insect pests according to gardeners and entomologists at the college of agriculture. University of Illinois. A general clean-up of the garden in the fall, preferably late fall, will do a great deal to reduce the available hibernating quarters of many of the most troublesome and destructive insecta The benefits from this practice will be multiplied. If anyone will co-operate and thus make the clean-up general. Forget Insect Troubles. After the season's crop has been harvested. the average gardener forgets bis insect troubles for a while. How i ever, at this time of the year certain j steps may be taken which Will greatly reduce the possibility of serious insect injury the coming vegetable season. This consists of taking active steps in the fall to clean up the garden Many crops have a large amount ot foliage which is left in the field or garden after the edible part of ths crop has been harvested. Such trash and rubbish affords hibernating quari ters for many of our most troublesome I and destructive insects. Piles of cuI cumber, melon and squash vines left I in the field offer excellent shelter for the striped cucumber beetle and squash bug during the winter. The potato stalk borer, which has been very destructive to eggplants in some sections, winters over in the stalk of the eggplant, potato and tomato. Cabbage stumps and leaves left in the field offer protection for the various species of cabbage worms. Serious Cabbage Fest. “In areas where the harlequin cabbage bug is a serious pest, the practice of cleaning up the fields in the fall will greatly reduce the possibility of injury the following season. Where possible, the cabbage stumps should be pulled and destroyed. The tar nished plant bug. which feeds on a i large variety of vegetables, hibernates in all sorts of rubbish about the field. . Boards scattered loosely about the I field offer shelter for many insects They should be collected, the old, useless boards destroyed, and the good pieces piled compactly. Where onion sets are grown, it has been found ad visable to clean up the field after the sets have been harvested and screened. The piles of onion refuse that accumu late where pnions have been milled and screened should be burned, as they . contain large numbers of the puparia, or resting stage of the onion maggot Immediately after the onions have been milled and screened, the resulting refuse will burn quite readily. "It Is important to go one step farj ther than cleaning up the garden propj er. Clean up the weeds and grasses I along fence rows and field margins All weeds and grasses should be cut and destroyed, and where possible ths ground should be plowed.” Control Stomach Worms by Change of Pasture Sheep heavily Infested with stomach worms cannot be thrifty and profitable. At the Uhio experiment station it is recommended that control be obtained by frequent change of pasture and by dosing. Dosing may consist of either coppet ’ sulphate or nicotine sulphate (Black ■ Leaf 40). Never use both treatments ;at the same time. The copper sui phate solution to made by dissolving ! two ounces of dark blue copper sul phate crystals in one gallon of water J The nicotine sulphate Is prepared by I adding two teaspoonfuls to one quart of water. Keep the sheep off feed for 18 hours before and six hours after treatment. If possible, turn them on pasture not grazed by sheep for two months pre vious. Give sheep weighing 50 to 60 pounds one ounce of either solution, but never both. Sheep weighing 60 to 80 pounds need one and one-half ounces, and all sheep over 100 pounds, three ounces Dose with an oil can or , syringe.

EKV “Purges” and Ihm 13 “Physics” Bad ■HU for Old Folks DR. W. CALDWELL AT THS AOi OF OS

While Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, 111.. a practicing physician for 47 years, knew that constipation was the curse of advancing age. he did not believe that a “purge’’ or “physic” every little while was necessary. To him. It seemed cruel that so many constipated old people had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets. salts, calomel and nasty oils. In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to “regulate” the bowels of old folks. Dr. Caidwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but each dose helps to strengthen the bowel muscles, shortly establishing
