Will there be a boom in corn this year
as there has been IN wheat? The crop
is not yet harvested, and the experts
differ greatly in their estimates of the
size of the crop. The needs of other
countries have far less relation to corn
than wheat and will not be such an
important factor in fixing prices. Still
corn should partake in the general up
ward movement to an extent to be de-
termined hereafter.

The medical profession, you know, Is
the finest stickler for etiquette. 1t Is
venal sin to advertise-that is.,in the
ordinary and vulgar fashion The leading
disciples of Aesculapius look askance at
the man who even distributes card
with his name in print. and they cannot
condemn sharply enough the practice Of
those brethren-they are brethren after
all-who are shrewd enough to buy a
few columns space in a live newspaper.
Yet many of these same gentlemen are
by no means averse to-in fact, they are
often exceedingly anxious for-such IA
vors as the press will give them gratis.
That "Dr. H. o. Sodium of 13 Capsule
street has returned from his vacation"
will appear in the social and personal
columns of all the newspapers with the
greatest regularity and the reporter will
always be importuned to insert the fact
in his report of casualty that 1.-The well
known surgeon, DR.. b. N. Setter, was
called in and the patient is now resting
quietly" There is a precious deal of
fraud about social and other etiquettes,
but commend me to the medical profess
sion for plausible humbug in both their
sanctimonious observance and crafty
evasion in this particular.

I hear that some of the first families
or fine fools, as Elvira prefers to call
them-living in the ultra -aristocratic
quarter of the southwest of the city,
have caused the legend, mo Peddlers,"

their front doors. This may be only
gentle hint to the reporters to join the
peddlers at the back door, but-be sure
of one thing-that newspaper men or
women have no desire to intrude upon
the privacy of snobs. Those very people
who protest so much their dislike of
seeing their names in print never lose an
opportunity of securing that honor
through the mail, the telephone, or on
the sly. The society reporter is merely
the creation of the desire of the ma jority
of the public to see their own and other
peoples social progress recorded in
print. When this desire subsidies. the
society reporter will find something bet
