Rubber From Corn.

BY accident the discovery has been
made that the coil of corn" is destined
to supply a substitute for India rubber.
Maize contains 4 or per cent of vese-
table fat, and is the basis of the "maize
rubber experiments, which have pro-
ceeded SO far as to insure success. This
new product admits of INFLAMMATION and
the manufacture of waterproof articles
of various kinds, and can be utilized for
bicycle tires, capable of withstanding
more pressure than the tires now in use
The discovery comes in most oppor-
tune time, as the supply of India rubber
is decreasing and prices steadily advance
ing; besides, it is certain to create a
new and unexpected demand for corn,
which, should the corn or "maize rub
Der" meet expectations, will expand to
immense proportions and crown corn
the liking of cereals" and the corn
lands of our farmers will feel the in
fluence of the new discovery and ad.
vance in value.
The nations of the earth are learning
that corn bread is good victuals," and
our exports are increasing; and now, if
maize rubber answers every demand
for bicycle tires, farmers who raise corn
for market may anticipate an era Of
good times and larger deposits in

Rev. Christian Method went as mis-
sionary to the Malays, and to such an
extent were his efforts blessed that. no
ships having come near his island home
for over year, he succeeded in making
the chief promise to abandon piracy in
general and wrecking in particular. So
complete was the transformation
wrought upon these savages by the gos-
pei that the theory Of moral sentiments
became the staple of conversation, and
every child on the island attended the
annual Sunday school picnic.
One afternoon, however, fine brig
was driven in toward the coast by a
storm, and the islanders watched her
with great and natural interest. AS
night drew on it became evident that
she was sinking fast, and that, although
the wind had subsidized, If she did not
shortly make the harbor she would be
lost
It was. therefore, with feelings of keen
distress that the reverend man Observ-
ed his parlShlOners preparing to k1ndle
false lights, according to the ancient
custom of that land. When he remon-
strated with the chief, that economist
explained that the unaided vessel would
sink in any case, and that the lights
were intended to run her on the rocks,
SO that, as in civilized countries, the peo-
pie might profit by the misfortunes Of
other men. The islanders were poor,
and the winter coming on, and men
must live"
In vain the reverend father pointed
out the wrongfulness of such a course;
the chief replied that it was their coun-
try, and that they were entitled to shape
its policy for their own benefit. though
this involved distress to foreigners. At

Preventing Frost Injuries.

For convenience frosts are classed as
freezes which accompany or follow the
great continental storms, and frosts
which are dependent upon purely local
conditions. Freezes which are foretold
by the weather bureau bring with them
such immense volumes of cold air that
nothing can be done either by indi-
viduals or by communities to ward of
the damage they do. Frosts, on the
other hand, differ from the freezes in
that they may affect. only a single field
and may therefore be readily combated
since they may be foretold by the farm
er himself. When. at night the air is
dry and still and the sky is clear, the
conditions are favorable to a consider
able fall in the temperature. If these
conditions occur in the autumn or in
the spring the freezing. point may be
reached. This fall of temperature is
due to the radiation of heat into space

NO NEW PARTY.
A Strong Protest Against Abandoning

n
the Grand Old Peoples Party.
To the Representative:
l must speak out.
1 am sick and tired with this everlast
ing harping about the union of reform
forces under new name" with but single
plank, the initiative and referendum.
Has not a union of reform forces" been
tried? Where are we by it? Our grand
army is defeated, routed. sent flying over
the country in struggling squads.
They must camp some where Would they
have them walk straight into the camp
of Butler and his gang? Or would they
have them seek again the camp Of Bryan
and his silver fusion devils?
These harpies harp Initiative and ref
erendum" and yet ignore the only set of
men that unselfshly devised ways and
means to put 1t into practical operation,
to-wit, the Cincinnati convention. Such
papers edited by such men are like blight
upon an apple tree, marring its beauty and
destroying it's fruit. They shout referen-
dunn because it furnishes buncombe for
their papers and secures liberal following
They shed barrels of tears over half-breed
reformers and would willingly subsst with
them on the husks with the swine that
they may be continually in genial company.
For this purpose they would deny the
name under which they have built them
selves up
Now 1 am willing to kill the fatted calf
and make merry over these half-bred
formers If they will come to US. But if
they will not come let them stay away and
eat husks with the swine until they come
to their senses, like the prodgal Of old.
Do these fellows think for a moment that
they could form a new party with a new
name and retain any Of the old guard?
Only such as unstable as they them
selves are. Stable men want stable
leaders; stable name and stable cause.
They fight shy of leaders who flop from
side to side like a cows tail in fly time.
They have no confidence In leaders that
won't stand without tying that are always
trying to break loose when they are tied.
Now you union of reform force howlers,
you new name howlers, you referendum
hOwlers, acknowledge the wisdom of the
Cincinnati convention, the noble unselfish-
ness of the men that composed it; go to
work, every one of you, under the plan of
organization of that grand body; show
your faith by your works; practice what you
preach; organize precinct clubs; get ready

Students of sociology claim that new
savagery is growing up in New York
city. Its creed is something like this:
First-A knowledge of doings and
scandals of the day in New York without
any information about anything else.
Second-No desire whatever to know
the reason for any of the facts of life,
but accepting the details of modern
progress as a savage accepts the fact
that water is wet or that hunger de-
mands food.
Third-A settled belief that all aff1u-
ence and dignity are reached through
boodling.
Fourth-A positive opinion that re-
spectability, as ordinarily understood,
is mistake and sham.
Fifth-An idea that all the wide
world is a suburb of New York.

Large Standing Army Not Needed.
This demand for an increased army
and navy is not, as its advocates would
have us believe, result of the recent
war, nor does it come simply as an ac
compartment to accessions Of territory.
It's deep significance is the intention of
those who are traitors to the republican
ideal for which this country was found
ed to establish upon this soil, so dearly
bought for freedom, a rule more tyran-
nous and absolute than that from which
it was once ransomed, and support that
tyranny with bullets and bayonets. Our
social reformers are not deceived, and
are everywhere protesting against it.
Eugene V. Debs recently, in the Cleve-
land Press, expressed strongly his Oppo-
sition to this military tendency. He
feels that the people are not in sympathy
with the movement. When first suggest
ed, they were instinctively opposed to a
large standing army. They felt that it
was in conflict with the spirit Of demo-
American doctrine and traditions.
Speaking for myself, 1 am of the
opinion that the army should as speed
lily as possible be reduced to it's former
peace footing. That there is any prob
ability of this being done, 1 do not be-
lieve. The opening came, the army ex-
banded under the necessity of war and
it will never be reduced to it's former
limits and limitations. The CONNER
cial spirit, born Of the capitalist system
requires a large standing army to main
tain it's regime and enforce it's edicts,
and as congress is subservient to its
will, the army will remain a fixed and
permanent, if not the central and con-
trolling factor, in our government"
'In a historical sense the main point
of difference between a despotism and
democracy is the standing army.
Where there is a despotism there is a
standing army, and where there is a
standing army there is despotism.
The democratic spirit would soon de-
cline and wither in an atmosphere
charged with militarism, and If any
trace of it's survived, it would be speed
lily stamped out They who favor a
strong military arm are not much con-
cerned about foreign foe. They know
that the people can always be relied up
on to defend the country against agrees
sions from the outside. The secret Of
their anxiety is that they do not trust
the people-their own countrymen.
"The fearful poverty to which tens
of thousands of workingmen have been
ground in the merciless mill of capital
istic competition has created discomfort
and anger which portend resistance on
an ever-increasing scale, and it is to
force and keep in subsection these vic
tins of capitalistic conquest that the
standing army is demanded.-He

There is more catarrh In this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease.
and prescribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurabe. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.
J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to
a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood

and the evaporation Of moisture which

and the evaporation Of moisture which
robs the earth Of still more warmth.
Accompanying the fall Of tempera-
ture, however. is the deposition Of dew
from moisture held in the air. This
condensation Of moisture raises the tenn
perature by releasing the heat that held
1t In the form of vapor. Thus the for
nation of dew acts as break in the
cooling process. Now, upon this break
the fruit grower must seize when he
frost. He must fill the air with mois-
ture. This may be readily done by
means Of spraying nozzle, everything
within reach being thoroughly drench-
ed. This moisture in the air will form
sort of blanket or cloud over the
sprayed region.
Another artificial cloud and one equ-
ally effective may be made by smudg-
ing. Snudges are nothing more than
smouldering fires of any kind Of rub
bish that will produce large quantities
Of smoke and little or no flame. The
smoke acts in the same way as the
water namely by preventing the loss of
heat and is generally of easier appli-
cation than the water method The
two methods may often be used together
since they do not antagonize one an
other. But the grower wants to know
when to expect frost. If at one hour
after sunset he finds the air still, the
sky cloudless and the temperature be-
low 40 degrees and in the course of a
couple of hours it has fallen to below 40
degrees he should conclude that frost is
likely to occur he should make final
or both. When the IS degree mark has
been reached he should lose no time in
turning on the water. The smudges
may also be lighted at the same time.
II the sky becomes cloudy or If breeze
spring up early in the evening it will
usually be safe to take full nights
rest. The clouds check the radiation of
heat from the earth and the breeze
keeps the air stirred up SO that it can
not settle in the pocket-like formations
where it is sure to do most damage. AS
a means of keeping the air stirred up
it may be said that frost injuries have
been prevented by tanning mills operat-
ed in the hollows referred to. These
land pockets are coolest because the
cold air from the high ground in their
neighborhood drains naturally into
them and cannot escape. They should
never be planted to any but the most
hardy crops.-Farmers' Review.
