MONEY IN coaN RUSKs.

Michael Young, near this place. has
made II possible for many farmers to
pay the rent OF their land In corn husks.
He is selling them for 81 q ton.
A few years ago Young, who was in
business at Arlington, began buying
corn husks from the neighboring farm
ers, says the Minneapolis Tribune. He
erected single building. In which he
set up machinery with which the husks
were shredded. The manufactured prod
uct found ready market for mattresses.
Another building was added. and then
the third and fourth. until now there

Bureau and Henry counties are brought

manufactures. who wishes he had ten
times the quantity Within reach. After
the corn is husked the farmer clips the
husks from ehe stalk with n pair OF
shears. After the husks are put through

There certainly is a curious interest
1n observing how editors OF papers I'm
different parts OF the country look at
things. Here is a paragraph from the
Globe Democrat of ST. Louis:
THE condition OF Kentucky for the
last six months proves that Goebellsm
is form of general calamity to busi-
ness as well ss TO social order"
And this comes from the Boston Her
aid at the same aime and I'm the light OF
the same conditions:
"The evidence being taken in the
trial for the Goebei murder in Ken
lucky leaves little doubt that there was
a cold-blooded plot for Goebel's killing.
and that Il was conceived and carried
out among those men who had been
brought armed TO the state capital by
Gov. Taylor. This does not prove that
Gov. Taylor himself VAS concerned In
the plot, and we have already express.
Cd the opinion that the probabilities arc
that he was not IN the counsels OF those
who engaged In II. But that there wa,
a conspiracy TO zsssssinate Goebel
which was nnaliy carried out. 60 our
mind admits Of little question"

Campbell calls it. Read what he
writes:
THE University Of Chicago now has
more than eleven million dollars to its

donated by John ID. Rockefeller. The

land Stanford University are both
young institutions but they are endow-
ed with millions. Harvard and several
other universities are enormously rich,
and from all appearances, this vast
educational wealth is still in it's in

knowledge into budding youth, the ques-
ton naturally arises. what's the use {?
Not that this is questioning OF the
benefits Of education, for IL IL be of the
right kind. IT cannot be overdone. But
who benefits by all these vast endow-
