“When we commemorate in this
way our great war president and his
wonderful fight for permanent world
peace, we do but renew our own devo-
tion to that great cause,” Ford said.
“This is the greatest issue before
the world, and in contribution to the
cau e all citizens may join—not Dem-
ocrat, not Republican, not Gentile, not
Jew—but all who are willing to carry
for world peace.”
Ford believed no limit should be
placed on the fund, “for the income
derived from $1,000,000 is too small
compared to the immense amount of
good to be accomplished,'' he wrote.
Chicago, March 2.—Improvements
in medical knowledge, particularly in
care devoted to infants, and education
of the public, reduced the blind popu-
lation of the United States nearly
5.000 In the ten year period covered by
the 1920 census, according to the
Journal of the American Medical As-
sociation.
In 1910 the Census showed 57,272
blind persons, while ten years later
the number was 52,617.
Analyzing the census figures, the
Journal points out that the ratio of
49.8 blind persons per 100,000 popula-
tion averages one victim of blindness
to every 2,000. Males predominate
over females by about three to two.
Blindness is moSt common among
Indians, with about 200 blind per 100,-
000 population, or four times the rate
for the country as a whole. Negroes
also have a comparatively ' large
amount of blindness, with 60 per 100,-
000. There are 48.3 blind persons per
100.000 white persons, and only 23.2
per 100,000 among the Japanese and
Chinese.
Of the geographic divisions, New
England has the greatest amount of
blindness, with 63.5 per 100,000, while
the lowest rate is in the West South
Central States, with but 41.6. Of the
states, New Mexico tops the list with
153.2 pef 100,000, and Wyoming is at
the bottom with only 15.4.
Each reader of the Herald is urged
to read the above statement of Henry
Ford and then call at the Herald of-
fice or either of our banks and con-
trlbutq the small sum of one dollar to
aid in the noble cause of advancing
the cause of world wide peace and
good will among all nations. If more
oovenlent, hand me one dollar, as a
number have already done.

BEST JOB PRINTinu AT HERALD
Associated Press.
Chicago, 111., March 2.—Wheats,
which are known to have been used
by primitive man 10,000 to 15,000
years ago and which are still cultivat-
ed in certain parts of the world, form
part of the new exhibit of cultivated
wheats which has recently been added
to the economic collections of Field
Museum of Natural History here. *
Modern cultivated wheats from va- i
rious parts of the world complete the I
exhibit. Most of the wheats have been
acquired through the co-operation of
the office of cereal investigation of the
department of agriculture. This de-
partment is constantly engaged in
growing new and old varieties of wheat
in order to determine their suitability
under various conditions in the Unit-
ed States.
Wheat was first introduced into this J
country in 1520 by the Spaniards and
later into New England and Virginia
by the early settlers, according to Di
rector D. C. Davis, of the museum.
“In Europe and Asia it has been
grown since prehistoric times,’’ Mr.
Davis states. “The beginning of its
cultivation belongs to an early period
in the history of the human race.
“Mankind has probably always used
the seeds of the wild grasses for food.
Some of these furnish verv fair-sized
grains and from such our cultivated
cereals are unquestionably derived,
though botanists cannot now always
trace .them to their wild prototypes.
An example of such is the wild Emmer
of Palestine, a large grained wild
grass which has been claimed by
some to be the ancestor of our cul-
tivated wheats of today.
“Certain primitive wheats are still
grown in places in Southern Europe.
Such are the Einkorn, Emmer and
Spelt, each of which probably repre-
sents a group of wheats of separate
origin. The Einkorn still grows wild
in Siberia and elsewhqre in the south
of Europe. Spelt is the oldest of the
cultivated wheats. It was probably
the wheat of ancient Greece, Rome
and Egypt.
"Together with these simple forms
there are to be seen such unusual
forms as Polish wheat, which in spite
of its name does not come from Po-
land, but from the mountainous re-
gions of Spain; Alaska wheat which
is of the type known as the Miracle
wheat or Seven-headed wheat of
Egypt, and Club wheat grown in Chile
and in our Rocky mountains.
“The Durum wheat from Russia,
which furnishes flour for macaroni
and pastes looks much like long bris-
tle barley. The small bristly Turkey
wheat has become one of our leading
hard winter wheats of the United
States. Wllhelmina, a north European
soft wheat may he seen together with
the chief American types. The hard
spring wheats of the northwestern
great plains region of the United
States and Canada are represented by
Marquis. Red Fife and Kitchener va-
rieties! Particularly remarkable Is a
huge-eared wheat called Dicklow,
grown under irrigation in Idaho.
“Adjoining the wheats at the mu-
seum may be seen some of the main
kinds of barley. Ordinarily the most
bristly of the grains among these is a
perfectly bald variety, which is grown
for hay and may survive, as a fodder,
long after cultivation of the others be-
comes obsolete with the cessation of
malt-making.-*
“There has also been added an in-
teresting case of wild grasses, ranging
from Alaska and Canadian fodder
grasses to the Silver Pampas grass of
South America and Natal grass. This
South African grass now helps to im-
part a roseate hue to the plains of the
sandy peninsula of Florida.”

TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY
OBSERVED BY BANKS
The Banks were closed Thursday,
in observance of the ninety-sixth an-
niversary of the signing of the decia-
ratio of the Texas Independence.
This is one day which will always
be dear to the hearts of Texans, es-
pecially those who are natives of
the grand old state. Up until March
2, 1836, Texas was nothing more or
less than a province of Mexico and
old patriots who had settled in the
state grew tired of the tyrany or
the Mexican government and a
meeting which to native Texans
meant as much as did the Conti-
nental Congress of the United
States which was called.
At this meeting, the declara-
tion was drawn and sugned, the
state declared a free and independ-
ent republic. The independence was
won. anff Texas is the only state
in the American Union, which has
that destinction.
The observance of this day should
be more general and the memory of
the men who put off the Spanish
yoke should be honored and revered.
