POSTHUMOUS INFLUENCE.
DIR. Holmes read his text from the
4th verse of the 18th of Hebrews, He
being dead, yet speaketh." His theme
in the main was the posthumous influ-
.ence of the martyred president. lie
said that every man who did his duty
in the world was one of Gods heroes,
whether he lives in cottage or a pal
ace, whether he tolls with his hands
or rules the affairs of the nation.
"We want this morning for just a
little while to think of the life of the
man in whose honor we have gathered
here. Not for his sake, for he has
gone beyond praise or blaine, but for
our own sakes. His public and private
life has often been reviewed, and lit.
tie could be added to what has already
been said yof his public ,careerN This
church has an especial right to talk
and think of one phase of his char
acter-of Mckinley as christian for
this was his own church. That ele-
ment If followed out would touch every
element of his life. His religious life
permeated all,
1T began long ago, and under the
ministry of one who is present with
us today (Rev. A. d. Morton.) He
made confession and identified him
self with tho church and stood IN
waveringly all through the years. He
lived in the presence of many of you
who are here today, and your voices
have yet touch Of tenderness in them
when you speak of him."
HIS CHRISTIAN LIFE.
DIR. Holmes went on to state that
no matter how pressing were the du-
ties and responsibilities of President
Mckinley, he always had time to read
the bible and to pray, and made an ap-
plication to the business men of Can
ton, insisting that the example of the
dead man should be lesson to those
who think that business is good ex-
cuse for neglectiDg the church. But
the crowning of his christian life was
during the last few days at Buffalo,
and the death bed scenes and utter
ances were spoken Of tenderly and
touchingly by the pastor.
After the closing prayer. the Misses
Ievinger and Mr.. VIII Slrassner sang
"My God, My Father, While | Stray"
after which the benedict.on was pro-
nounced by the pastor.
The pulpit of the church was draped
in the national colors and Gala lilies
and cut pink and white ro es graced
the desk.
OTHER SERVICES.
Special services were likewise held
at the First Christian. First United
Brethren, Zion English and st. Paul
Episcopal. In each Of these music
appropriate to the occasion was sung
and touching references to the late
president we're made by the pastors.
In all of the churches Of the city col
lections were taken for the memorial
fund.

ARE DRYING OUT SOFT CORN.
Advice of J. B. Weems, Chemist O
Iowa State College at Ames.


J. B. Weems, chemist of Iowa State
Agricultural college at Ames, in a let
ter, advises farmers to dry out soft
corn by artificial means. He says,
among other things:
I'VE have made p number of anal
Uses of the corn crop OF this year, and
from the results which have been OBJ
tanned it appears to me that the prob
lem is one in which a certain amount
of water must be allowed to dry out
of the corn crop in order to insure its
keeping. The amount of water present
in corn varies from 1888 to 1924 per
cent. This is quite a large amount
when we compare it with the amount
of water in the crop last year, which
varies from 11.16 to 1.57 per cent. or
the average contents for ordinary corn
of about Is per cent. the amount of
protein, fat, crude fibre, ash. starch
and sugar present in the corn is prac-
tically the same in the new corn and
the old when compared with one an
other in dry condition. The corn
cobs also contain an excessive amount
of moisture and vary between 1858
and 1929 per cent. as compared with
Is per cent in the cobs grown last
year. The idea which is brought for
ward by some that the nutriment is
stored in the cobs is not true, but the
chemical composition of the cobs when
compared on a dry basis is practically
the same for the old and those grown
the present year. The entire problem
it seems to me. is Lifted TO the bes
manner of drying the corn in order
that from Is to 20 per cent of moisture
may be removed from the corn.
Whether it will be best to allow this
drying process to be carried out I'M
der ordinary atmospheric conditions
such as allowing the corn to remain
in the field or in the shock, or wheth
er some artificial means of drying
must be adopted, is problem for each
community to settle for itself 1t ap
pears to me, however, that under care
full hands, corn can be cured without
any great risk in moulding"

A Trap for the Farmers.
Consul General Bragg at Cuba has
exposed some fakes that are being
perpetrated on farmers who may wish
to migrate to Cuba. Several COM
panies have pene formed that pretend
| to sell land in Cuba to such farmers.
Most of these, says Mr.. Bragg, have
no good land at their disposal. One
company frankly tells the location OF
its land, trusting to the general ignor-
ance of Americans of Cuban localities
to work their scheme anyhow. Consul
Bragg thus describes the localities in
which the farms are offered for SALE:
ITO reach this place there are only
| four practical routes. To go through
these entrances on horseback it is
necessary to wrap the horses from

Bookplates.
From the Century


The question of the use of the family
coat-of-arms vexes the American very Sc
riously. Originally all bookplates were
heraldic. That was In an age when people
generally could not read, and when the
blazon of each family, as shown on wear
ing apparel or small belongings, was as
well known and quickly distinguished as an
autograph or photograph today. In the
main, ii is safe to advise Americans not to
use coat armor on their bookplates. The
uncertainty of the actual right to arms.
and the extreme difficulty of getting a
drawing that one knows is undeniably cor
rect in every detail. are strong reasons
against its use. Heraldry is too exact a
science to admit of liberties. and II is no
small achievement to draw the coat-of-
arms with absolute correctness and yet
with artistic feeling.
Though it is not very generally practiced.
1t is legal to copyright the bookplate de-
sign. At least two plates are so protected
in this country. This would seem to leave
a door open for those who wish to secure
for themselves a personal, distinguishing
mark. a Observation-Disclosures the drawing
may be In heraldic form well as In any
