Everything is favorable to big corn

tie doubt now but it will be above the
average. Fodder is large. The tassels
are Showing in large numbers, and
some advanced fields are almost wholly
developed. The light showers that
have fallen recently are very helpful to
the corn. which now shelters the
ground and prevents rapid evaporation.
Even if no more rain should come dur
ing the earring season, the early corn
would not be failure. There are some
fields that will make big crop if one
more rain falls within the next

ErOm the Clnb Woman.

To the woman who would be indi-

and a beneficence, there is but one
message: BE not afraid Of yourself;
get acquainted with the deeps of your
own nature; face the shortcomings of
your own spirit. Go into the open
country alone II you can; If not, take
n little time out of every twenty-four
hours to think. Just as the obser-

Cranberry Grow

Cranberry growers of the United
States had to their credit last year a
crop of | ,000, 900 bushels. OF the varied
industries that have shown unusual
results there are none with a more
notable record, for the crop of 1900 was
$4,000 bushels. These facts mean that
the owners of the cranberry boys will
have received, when the crop is fully
marketed, nearly 81, zoe, 200. Cranberry
raising Is an industry which, despite
the popularity of the fruit, has COM
manded small attention from Others
than those directly interested. Capital
is an absolute necessity to engage in
it successfully, as a productive bog
costs from $500 to $500 an acre to
bring to a state Of profitable bearing.

The race for Matabeleland began
and Dom Paul Kruger was defeated
IN It by Rhodes.
His soldiers streamed through Be-
%chuanaland and Mashonaland. lie
found Mashonaland married by the
Matabeles and sent n machine gun ex-
petition against them.
This resulted in thousands of dead
savages and the absorption of Mata-
beleland. The Mashona people were
left to till the soil in peace.
Finally the dominion of his com
pany. which is the dominion OF
Rhodes, extended all over "Rhodesia."
He had kicked out the Portuguese AMI
shot out the natives, and his empire
was safe. In this aggression he was
backed by the Cape Colony govern
mcnt. because It believed that he In
tended to make OF Cape Town tho po-
litical and commercial center OF the
United States Of South Africa"
Germans, Beers and Portuguese were
claiming the country. Mr.. Rhodes be-
lieved that the domination Of an oil
garchy of Dutchmen who resisted nat
ural expansion was doomed. Later on
he acted.
In 1890 Mr.. Rhodes became premier
of Cape Colony. which Office he held
for five years. Under his rule German
ambition and designs had been baf-
fed by him single-banded and a vast
territory gained for his native land.
The iron rule of the Dutch premier In
tie Transvaal bore heavily on the Eng
lish settlers. Rhodes became their
champion.
That he was connected with the
Jameson raid into the territory of the
Beers Is no longer doubted. Its failure
gave the Beers the opportunity to pre-
pare for n struggle with the English
when IL should be backed by the gov
eminent.
Rhodes never expressed regret for
the attempt.
He declared that he had proof that
the Pretoria government had been in
triguing with Germany.
While the Boer war was raging Mr..
Rhodes was shut up in Kimberly,
while the Beers besieged the place. II
Is said that II they had captured him
n ransom of $40. 600 900 would have
been demanded, in case his life was
not declared forfeited.
A reward OF $4,000 was offered for
his body, lead or alive. To the Orange
Free State officials and the Transvaal-
ers his personality and ambitions were
hateful to the last degree, Mr.. Rhodes
escape is well known.
An Englishman wrote OF Rhodes:
"He has the face Of a Caesar. the am
bition Of a Loyola, and the wealth OF
a Croesus.' AS to his ambition and
wealth there can be no doubt. Rhodes
had the scholars brow and the steely
blue eyes and thin lips Of the man Of
indomitable will.
Like all successful men he battered
down opposition and forced his ideas
on those by whom he was surrounded.
Those ideas, however. were not mar
rowed to self, but as broad In their
scope as national British aspirations,
II England ever succeeds in planting q
second America on the soil OF Asia she

the sutan's Establishments having failed
to induce him to return to CONSTANT

in the Young Turk movement, and was
charged with beingin plot to assassinate

considering the recent strained relations
