The construction of new elevators during: the last year also Is mentioned ns a factor that may relievo storage problems. The 1H30 wheat crop in Texas und Oklahoma is expected to run less than last year's. It is esti mated that 24.000.000 bushels will ho harvested In Texas, as against 37.SOO.OOU for last year. .-Ok.u-hoimVs crop Is expected to be re duced from 44.000.000 to approxi mately 30,000,000. In Kansas, how over, a yield virtually equal to last year's Is expected, while the Ne braska crop is forecast as higher than that for 1929. No shortago of field hands Is re ported this year. Tho harve workers began cutting grain in Texas In early June, and they will work : north through Oklahoma. Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas and Into Canada. Normally tho harvest job is fin ished by the last of August. FAST MODEL DUPLEX NOW IN OPERATION (Continued from Page One) greater productivity, grenter pow ers of endurance, simpler mech anism and standardization of parts. Intimate knowledge of the art of news printing, supplemented by critical study of achievements at home and abroad, qualified Duplex press engineers to study present requirements and anticipate future demands of newspaper publishers. This knowledge and foresight were brought to bear, to build a super duty high-speed machine, hy stan dardizing tho press units, folder units, paper roll units and struc tural units. Long life and low maintenance cost are thus assured and depend ability and ease of operation main tained. Good printing becomes easier for tho pressmen who know the art. Smooth running and high speeds aro secured by this press being built of the highest grade materials possible to obtain and by "precision methods" of manufac ture in tho hands of expert press machinists. Safety for the press man is provided by complete guard ing of all moving parts. The folders of the new Duplex press are marvels in themselves. "Watching their operation, one con tinues to marvel at the ingenuity und inventive ability of the persons responsible for their development and construction. You can see the white paper unwind from tho large rolls at one end of the press, pass through tho end of the press, pass through the printing units at a terrific speed aird'hack to tho fold ers, printed and folded. One mar vels at the sight of paper being handled, so smoothly that very rarely does a break occur.

Years, ago, when ho became Identified with Tho Observer, the old press was operat ing more or less In a haphazard, unsatisfactory manner, but under Mr. Miller's expert handling, it performed in an amazing manner, considering its age and tho long service.

There Is, In every child, more or less of this wish to escape from factual limitation. One of the tasks of parenthood is to. know just how to encourage this fantasy element which may .bo productive of so much Joy and perhaps cvon article expression. while bit by bit tho wings to Never Never land are clipped. Tit oro Is tlmo und placo for Peter Pan in tho life of every child. The wise parent senses just when and how much she may en courage those happy flights of imagination without which her child may miss so much that is satisfying and beautiful. She does not needlessly crush his fantasies . but site pin. him tactfully to such realities as arc essential to his adjustment In tho hero and now. She encourages the Peter Pan in him to find expression In all sorts uf dramatic play, in the In vention oY stories, in work with such creative materials as paint and clay. . She cultivates these things not by definite direction, but by a pas sive, sympathetic attitude that tends to keep open always In the chllds mind the pathway between tho real world of facts and the world of happy escape. She knows how to play the game of make-believe. how to clarify tho'distlnction between fact and fantasy without either censor ing the child's Imagination or TO INSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT MOST DEPENDABLE STEAM HEATING SYSTEM New Was selected to make the heating installation. It is complete in every way and we invite your in spection at the formal opening of the building on Friday and Saturday A PACIFIC WATER TUBE ALL STEEL BOILER is used with the Dunham return healing system. The Pacific boiler a known for its high efficiency. It is a quick steamer, is the most econ omical type of boiler on fuel consumption, and gels every unit of, heal out of the fuel. The Dunham return system puis steam in the radiators with V2 pound pressure and insures quick, positive circulation of steam. The steam goes lo the radiator by one pipe, the condensation is returned through a second pipe, giving the utmost in healing efficiency.

Those, however, who have stud ied the subject most, agree that tho term "ptomnlnV covers a multitude of ignorances. Ptuinain comes from "ptoina," meaning a corpse. Thero are such things ns ptomnins. These are chemical substance resulting from decomposition of nitrogenuous or flesh substances. Certain of these ptomains aro poi sonous but they play a very minor role as agents of disease. Ptomains aro not poisonous In tho same senso that toxins are. The latter, toxins, aro directly the product of bacteria. Ptomains aro chemical' substances resulting from tho breaking down ot the m oro complicated compounds known as proteins, Tho significance uf this distinc 1LJ Hardware -TT7I9(Q1 tion Is in the fact that ptomaln are due to decomposition (rot ting) of foods and toxins to Infec tions of foods.
