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

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.

Peter Pan has become a classic
not only because it is a charming
story but because It Is a delightful
expression of the universal fan
tasy of childhood the wish never
tq grow up, to do the Impossible
without effort tthe desire never
to no harnessed Into the responsi
bilities of adult life.
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

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

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.

Many a gastric disturbance of
unknown origin is charged to so
called ptomain poisoning.
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
