NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for
the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is
asked merely to help himself, and the
one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing it.
The prize is only stimulus to do
something that would be well worth
doing without it. The architect whose
competitive plan for a club house
on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very
little use to him. But the person who
patents simple and useful device in
the Press Claims Company's competi-
tion' need not worry if he fail to secure
the prize. He has substantial result
to show for his work-one that will
command its value in the market at
any time.
The plain man who uses any article
in his daily work ought to know bet
ter how to improve it than the
mechanical expert who studies it only
from the theoretical point of view.
Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth
patenting. The simpler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Compay's twenty-five
hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that its
stock is neld by about three hundred
of the leading newspapers of the
United States.

pea Culture.

Cotton Plant.
Iwrite you to let you know that
1 am done planting cotton, but ]
never get done planting corn and
peas. When my land gets too wet
to plant corn I pitch in to planting
peas. Our trade agent came by
the other day and said: ''Brother.
your land is too wet" 'sYes," says
/, abut 1 am going toplantpeas here
and dry the ground with manure
The land was a little too wet, but
you know that oats and peas never
get fair showing and that is why
they don't make any more than
they do. Now, brethren, I want
you all to plant one acre of peas
Just the way I planted mine and
give the report of the profit to The
Cotton Plant next fall. Break up
your land twice with grabs. Lay
off the same, only run two burrows
in one, 8 1-2 feet apart, then put
down 100 pounds of good guano
and bed on it, then open your beds
like for cotton, only you run twice,
opening a good furrow, then drop
your peas every 2 feet in the drill,
dropping from 12 to Is peas in tha
hill. Then take a good fertilizer
and PUT 100 pounds in your pea
drill, then cover with harrow,
walking your horse in the middle
of row. I cover two rows at the
same time. Then cultivate same as
cotton, only let all of your peas
stand.
Now brethren, you can do this
as late as the middle of Jnne and
they will do we'll. I have my
patch planted and expect to gather
more dollars off my pea acre than
my cotton acre. Now, just think
for one moment what 1000 acres
thoroughly prepared would make
and l know that there are more OF
you than that. I expect to make
Is bushels of shelled peas, and be
like the Indian, have my vines
to boot. These vines will be good
boot, either for your land or stock
Now l hope you will try the ex.
pertinent this season, then you will
not have to be toled into it next
season.
May God bless US with good and
rich blessings.

The Diocesan Council 70 Meet Here
This forenoon.
This forenoon the council Of priesls
OF this diocese viii meet at st. Joseph's
cathedral to consider the choice OF a
successor to Bishop Kahn. The council
Is composed Of Re Row. Mgr. Sullivan,
administrators Of the diocese inter regnt'nl,
Rev. John McRlligott, chancellor, Rev.
Father Mullen, OF st. MRry's, this city,
and Very Rev.. Father O'Connor, Of
ClarksburR.
These councillors will present TO tho
authorities at Rome the names OF three
priests,whom they consider suitable Tor
bishop. One name will be sent as
most worthy, one as more worthy, and
one as worthy. The bishops OF the
province will also make similar slate,
and from these names the new bishop
will be chosen.
1t was said last night that Cardinal
Gibbons had deputed Rev. Father MAC
Elligott to preside over to-day's deliber;,
atoms. It was supposed he might send
q priest from Baltimore to preside.
REV. 5EaLQeF OOuOuu1t 4HVn
Stafford and Rev. Father Deyine, OF Bal
timore, have all been named as suitable
successors to Bishop Kahn, as have also
several clergymen Of this diocese. Last
evening prominent Catholic layman
asked the INrEuLGENcER to do what 1t
gives It great pleasure to do-adyocate
the nomination as ''most worthy" OF
Rev. Father MacElligott. Said he:
"Why should the clergy Of the Wheel
ing diocese go out Of our own state to
choose bishop? We have the mate
rial for the successor to the bishopric
right here. Rev. Father MacElligott
served the late bishop as private secre-
tary, and he knows more than any other
Clergyman of the affairs Of the diocese.
He is, besides, popular all over the state,
and most so right here where he is best
known. He is young and would make
an ideal bishop. II the choice were
left to the lay vote he would be over
whelmingly elected =,
The result Of to-day's conference will
be watched with absorbing interest, as
the first step toward choosing Bishop
Kain's successor.
