Corn has been selling for the past
few years at from 40c to 75c per bushel,
not often at the latter figure. Wheat
always brings 81 per bushel-and gen.
orally $1.25. Wheat is as productive
on an average as corn, and requires
much less labor to make than corn.
Therefore, we say SOW wheat, "both

The KINDERGARTEN

My friend, The Editor, is not the onl
one who has been asking, "Have you
read the article about kindergarten chill

been suggested to me that an answer to
this criticism Of the kindergarten might
be interesting to the readers of The
Courier.
Marion Carter Hamilton has written
an article concerning the kindergarten

anyone who is at all familiar with mod

edge of kindergartners KIN ,ws that they

wARING STILL MISSING.
The War Department Searching for
the Captain.

The War Department has received no It'd
ings of Capt John K. Waring, of the Sec
ond United States Infantry lately station
ed at Matanzas. Cuba. Captain Waring
was granted leave of absence in Septem-
ber and this leave expired in October He
left Havana. II is said, for the United
States, early in October and so far as the
War Department knows he has not been
heard from since.
II was said at the War Department to-
day that Captain Waring is wanted be-
cause it may be that he can shed light on
the financial irregularities which led tc the
dismissal of Capt. Frederick T. Van Lew
also Of the Second Infantry. Captain Van
LEV was found guilty of msappropriation
of his company funds and his sentence Of
dismissal was approved by the President
who refused to accept his resignation.
During the trial it was shown that Cap
tain Waring and Capt. Van Lew had been
associated in some manner. and il is said
that a court martial to try Captain War
ing was determined on. Captain Waring
testified in the Van Liew case at Havana
on October S.
Lieut.. William F. Pence, of the Fl til
Artillery, was detailed TO find him and TO
cause his arrest. but although he has put
himself in communication with the rela-
tives of the missing man, his mission has
not been successful.
The sentence of Capt. Van Liew has not
been promulgated as it is the desire of
the Secretary of War that he shall remain
in the army, that he may appear as W.T.
ness at the trial of Captain Waring.
Should be become a civilian he could not
be compelled, il is said, TO appear before
a military court.
Captain Waring is native of New
York He was appointed to the army
from civil life in 1867. and became cap
tain in 1891. He is the senior infantry
captain in the army, and but for the
charges against him, would already have
become major. He is ffty-fve years
old. Should he remain away from his post
without permission for three months he

He went up at Vanguard, and first d

All power in the motor is thus reserved
for modifying the direction of the balloon

Taxed by the Appraisers.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The appraisers
who have taken twenty three days to de-
termine the value of certain articles of
wearing apparel in the trunks of Commo-
dore Elbridge T. Gerry and his family
have reported to Collector Bidwell. They
recommend that Mr.. Gerry be required to
pay a duty of 81 1000 in excess of the
amount fixed by his declaration when he
arrived here on the White Star steamship
Teutonic, on October 25.
This extra duty is based on the aliega-
tion that articles were purchased abroad
which Mr.. Gerry declared and still insists
were bought in this country. Commodore
Gerry on his return here on the Teutonic
was accompanied by Mrs. Gerry, the two
Misses Gerry, two man servants and two
maids. They brought twenty eight trunks
and valises. Nine of these were passed by
the customs officials.
The commodore declared articles in the
other trunks, the duty on which was 81 500.
OF this amount he paid $500 on the pier
and two more trunks, eleven in all, were
released. But as there was question
about the wearing apparel in the other
trunks, eighteen were sent to the apprais-
er's store. They contained delicate silks
and satins, which would have been injured
by being examined on the piers, as Deputy
Collector Phelps later explained Commo-
dore Gerry was not present when the ap-
praisers came to their decision, but a friend
who represented him positively declared
the silks in question had all been purS
chased here.
