Prof. R. 8. Studhalter, of Texas

years, these long leaf pine

presidents of the United States.
The wood was originally

BALTIMORE — John William,,

en theft. His last midnight sally
forth for chickens found him cart-
ing five burlap bags on his
shoulder. When asked by the
judge what he intended dofng
with the bags, Williams replied ‘
that he only intended stealing two '
chickens for his personal use and
that thebags were to protect him
against cold feet. He was sen-

these were the same trusses
which were taken out in 1837.
They are an interesting example
of early workmanship. The tim-

Congress to Aid Them, But
Agrarian Dying Out, is
Expert's Belief
B. sutenen serVie.
WASHINGTON, May 3.- While
Congress is trying to form a law
to help the farmers, a biological
law is working in such a way that
there soon will be no more farm-
ore to be helped. At that time or
hhortly after. our civilization will
collapse.
This will come as the result of
the urbanization of the best of
the human farm stock, prophesies
O. F. Cook of the U, S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture, in the Jour-
nal of Genetfes,
Best Drawn to Cities
The brightest farm boys and
girls, the most capable farm fam-
ilies, are being drawn to the
eities, with apparent advantage
both to themselves and the cities.
However, in the cities small fam-
ilies are the rule, living is hard
and competition is fierce. Farm
families that move there die out
quickly. Meanwhile the supply
on the farms Is constantly grow-
ing smaller and less promising.
"In the continued drafting of
the more capable elements from
the farm to the cities," Mr. Cook
sees "a process of adverse selec-
tion which has the power to de-
stroy our civilization like others
[ -of the past."

that do not take into account the
