Cprn Racing with Weeds.

Corn in many cases was never
laid by" but was turned loose to
struggle with the weeds a couple of
weeks ago. The result is that there
will be more weedy corntields in Rock
Island county this fall than in years
before.
Early potatoes are cheap now.
They are making phenomenal crop.
But according to the stories of the
farmers the late crop in this region
will not be very plentiful. y poor
stand has been secured, generally
speaking. the excessive moisture and
the cold weather that prevailed about
planting time rotting much of the
seed in the ground.
Although there is a heavy growth

nor make milk. The rural pessimis t

The season has been favorable to
a heavy growth of grass and if there

very little forage stored away that
has not been soaked once or more
ON the ground after being cut and
much of il has been entirely ruined.
There is little to encourage the far

harvest or haymaking, for il so often
happens that his labor is spent for
nothing and he is compelled TO see an
abundant crop ruined as the result
of his efforts.
1t has been so with the harvest of
rye and barley, also. Some of the
fields of the former in this vicinity
ripened when it was so wet that a
binder could not be used to cut them
and they fell and rotted. Barley, as
has been the case with oats in many
places, was cut with mower oftencr
than with binder and was piled up

FIGHTS
EXILES
PRISONS

Cuba is too poor, even II 1t mad the
will, to indulge in any such ostenta.
ton, is the sensible summary OF Pres.
ident Palma.
Above all. says President Palma, the
people of Cuba must be educated. I'm.
til that has been accomplished. he
does not look for any decided initia
tive on their part. The public school
system of the United States is the
model that the President has in LIS
mind, and he hopes to introduce 1t in
the island. That is a work that will
take years. but he believes II is one of
utmost importance to the Cubans.
Palma. who may be fairly called the
Garibaldi of Cuba. was born July 2,
1895, in the town of Bayamo, in Santi.
ago Province, Cuba. He seems to
have been an ardent revolutionist
from his boyhood.

Al this very time the feeling against
Spain had eliminated to such a pitch
that the Cubans demanded relief from
the oppression of its rule, and in
many parts of the island rebellion had
already broken out. The feeling in
Balamo was acute and Senior Palma
