Chicago, Oct 15.--Judse Baker in the

decided against the D:eling Harvester
Company retaining SOC feet of the Chs

SIMPLICITY of LIVING.

When man and woman get married
and go to housekeeping nowadays, it
will mean much for their comfort and
happiness if they will shape their ways
of living along simple lines and if
possible be independent Of hired help
in the home. To this end the house
should not be too large, every modern
convenience and appliance for making
the housework easy and light should
be utilized, the circle of friends which
one expects to entertain should be linn
tied and the food supply be studied
with reference to its simplicity. ease of
preparation and nutritive value. The
things about modern living which
worry people the worst are artificial
wants, social dictums and false
pride. which Is the worst tyrant on
earth.

A GOOD CORN CROP.

A twenty acre field of corn growing
near where the writer lives was ma
tured early III September and will pro-
ducc ut conservative estimate seven
ty-five bushels per acre. This field was
planted May IL OH a clover sod turned
over last September and has received
clean and thorough cultivation. There
is nothing very remarkable about this,

where this corn is grown there are a
thousand acres Of corn which are SO
very much inferior-the crop behind
time, full Of weeds, half cared for and
giving no promise, if frost comes at the
usual date, of making anything save
twenty or thirty bushels of soft corn
+ to the acre The moral to this story is
that the one man with the twenty
acres knows something about raising
corn which his thirty neighbors with
the thousand acres ought to know, for
success is always worth looking into.
This twenty acre field Of corn might
well form the topic for whole days

and all that pertained to the produc
ton of the crop. Such Il field Is a prac-
teal object lesson, and the owners ex

SUGAR BETS AND THE CORN Del

SUGAR BETS AND THE CORN BELT
We thought a few years ago that the
cultivation of the sugar beet might
be made a valuable feature of agricul-
ture in the corn belt Of the country.
We have since changed our opinion.
The financial returns to the grower are
altogether unsatisfactory. The crop
needs prompt care and attention when
the farmer can least spare the time.
The needed help is hard to obtain, and
the labor connected with the crop is
of the get down on all tours back
breaking type which the corn raiser
despises. The sugar beet will find
friends in all the sunny, irrigated por-
ton of the west and to some extent in
the more thickly settled portions of the
east, where child help is cheap and
easily obtained. but not where sixty
bushels Of corn to the acre can be
grown or where clover grows knee
high and blue grass thrives, where
creameries prosper and the Poland-Chi-
nh hog and Shorthorn steer grunt and
snort whenever the beet subject is
mentioned.

friends of Prof A. A. Kincannon are

that those will be the only entries in
the race.
A singular feature of the gubernato-

American manufacturers are over

ments for the capture and retention
of the cotton goods trade in Cuba.
according to a report from Minister
Squires, which has been made public
at the state department. The minis
ter declares that the American bouses
should send Spanish-speaking repre-
sentatives to Cuba to work up their
trade instead of relying on export
commission houses in New York to
engage business for them there. He
also points out number of details in
the packing and invoicing of goods
destined for Cuba which are not taken
into account in the United States.
