There is nothing just as good
as DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
SO demand it and do not permit
the dealer to sell you some SUBJ

is anything better, but in order
to make more profit he may
claim something else to be just as
good. You want DR.. Kings
New Discovery because you know
it to be safe and reliable, and

CORN AS A MONEY CROP.
Create the Crop, Make the Demand
and Keep Your Money
at Home.


To the Editor of the Star:
The objection against making
our own corn meal, as stated in
the Star of Aug. 2Gth, IS ''we
can't have corn to grind all the
year round on account Of weevll. "
That is a problem OF very easy
solution. Give me something
harder.
There will be enough Florida
flint corn in the state to make
meal from now till the middle Of
next June.
To close the gap between then
and Sept. l, when flint corn IS dry
enough to make best Of meal, :,
plant the first OF March Hickory
King white corn, Virginia snow
flake or any other white or yellow
corn that will mature in 80 days.
Either of the afOrenamed cOrnS
will do it; that will bring you to
June l, giving two weeks for
your 90 day corn to become dry
and hard enough to grind into
good meal. [ have had it so this
year, and intend to have it SO an
other year. The reason why l
did not have it SO last year and
the year before, was because l
didn't try.
There is a great variety Of corn
raised in the northern states that
will mature in Florida in 90 days
from planting, and will be dry
enough to grind in two weeks.
1t is certainly far better to buy
a few bushels of seed corn in the
north than to buy all our bushels
Of meal there.
In the event of a probable fall
ure to make the connection, why
not resort to the old tin CRATER,
as we did in gone by days on the
border. [ don't suppose you ever
saw a tin corn CRATER, but | reck-
on you have heard OF them. A
hot pone made Of grated corn
lust going out of the milk, eaten
with fresh butter and buttermilk,
any old despotic millionaire would
give half his fortune to enjoy as
much as you and | would.
Weevil is in the corn. The germ
is just as much in northern grain
as in southern. A certain condi-
tion or continued condition of the
atmosphere or temperature is all
that is required TO develop it.
Corn brought from the extreme
north, where they know nothing
of weevil, in depth of winter, and
put in tight box, inaccessible to
any insect, will be eaten up by
weevil before the summer is
through ; hence the necessity of
kiln-drying all the corn meal that
comes into Florida. Grinding
does not destroy the germ, which
every good housewife knows
takes the life out of the meal, and
she can't always make good
: bread out of it. In freshly ground
meal it is different.
We hear a continual howl go.
ing up about taxes. Raise your
, own corn, grind your own mea'
and stop buying shipped meal.
The money you pay out for
corn meal shipped into the state
is greater than the amount you
are paying for taxes.
The balance of trade is against
us for we do not ship enough ou'
, to pay for the meal shipped in
Until we reverse this ''prospcr.
:: ity" will not come.
We cannot prevent weevil il
. this climate but we can circum
+ vent it.

The Wheat Outlook.

Taerc has been reported serious dam
age from the recent hot wave to crops
IN eastern Oregon and in some parts OF
Washington. The farmers In the
Tamm any and Waha districts ut this
county report not the least damage
to their wheat The fall wheat Is now
well headed and filled in some OF the
fields aud the crop rs well advanced IN
every division of the Clearwater valley
The recent rains came in at favorao'e
time and tile ground is very moist at
this time. The present cool weather
has promoted fine growth OF head.
The side shoots of the stools Of ofgrowing
wheat have developed unusually well
during these past few favorable days.
There has never been better q utlook
than the present for crops in this big
wheat belt. There have come some
complaints Of the appearances of grass
hoppers in exposed pIaces. On the
Asotin fiat in Washington the grass
hoppers have made their appearance
but they are still confined to small
areas. There is also some alarm on the
corner OF the reservation near Sweet
water. The Grangeville district also
reports grasshoppers IN considerable
numbers. The cool weather, however,
has retarded the ravages of this pest
and In some instances they have been
destroyed by rains which come upon
them when very young. The wheat
crop of the Lewiston valley, however,
promises bountiful harvest and the
prospect is good for reinunerative
prices.

LAST FOOLISH BUBBLE
Deader Than the "Sub- treasury Idea
is the North and South Railroad.

Receivers of railroads generally en-
joy princely salaries and have very lit
tie to do, but w. H. Dal5e of Brookfeld.
MO, who was in Topeka last evening
is not in that position. He is receiver
of a railroad, it is true, but he enjoys
no princely salary and does not draw
several hundred dollars per month "on
account"
His time is not taken up entirely in
looking after the operation of trains
or granting applications for ANNALS -
No general manager reports to him
that depot is needed here or that a
station should be abandoned someWher
else Mr. Dake is just a plain receiver
and he has few duties to perform.
The road for which the gentleman from
Missouri is receiver, is known in his
tory as Fred Closes Great North and
South Pole railway. It hourished while
Mr.. Lewelling was governor of Kansas,
and Mr. Close was his private secreta-
ry. When the Lewelling administration
went out of business, the road went in
to the hands of receiver, and the
mantle fell upon Mr. Dake. Governor
Leedy has made several attempts to
brace up the shattered hulk of this
great railway system. but he has so far
failed, and Mr.. Dake came to Topeka
to confer with his attorneys about sell
ing the whole concern
Receiver Dal1e said last evening that
he has some hope of making a sale soon
He says that a company is being or
ganized which may purchase the thing
but he refused to tell who are the par
ties interested, and limited that they
do not live in Kansas. He says that if
this company will buy the road, there
will be no further trouble. He has also
had some negotiations with the Gulf &,
Inter State Railway company of Tex
as, which owns the Texas end of the
company, but the effort to sell to that
company failed.
Besides the franchises and other
things of a similar nature, the property
in the hands of Receiver Dake, consists
of two chairs, one desk, a quantity of
letter heads and thousands of blank
shares of stock which the company at
one time hoped to sell
Receiver Dake left last night for
Pratt county, where he is interested In
some land on his own account, but he
promises to visit Topeka again before
he formally disposes of the North &
South Pole railroad.

A BIG CONVERT.
Benjamin Harrison Believes in
theInitiative and Referendum.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-Benjamfn Harrison,
eX-president of the United States, who
has recently announced himself as favor
ing the initiative and referendum, will be
invited to address a state convention of
the advocates of those measures to be
held in Willard hall November Is to 20
William J. Bryan, Henry George and
Seth Low will also receive invitations to
be present and deliver addresses
The convention is called for the pur-
pose of forming a permanent organiza-
4tion, which will probably be called the
Direct Legislation Union of Illinois. The
object of the union will be to support an
agitation on the subject of the initiative
and referendum and to secure their in
corporation into the constitution of the
state. Every organization whose mem
bers believe in these measures will be en-
titled to send delegates, and the call re-
quests all others who believe in these
principles to form clubs for the purpose
of sending delegates.
