PAPER FROM CORNSTALKS.
A New source Of Income for the
Corn-Rafsing Farmers OF
the Country.

A press report from Washington
says the department of agriculture is
Interested in the plans of capitalists
to manufacture high-grade paper
from cornstalks. The farmers of In-
diana and Illinois, it is announced,
are to be the first to profit by the
new process. Reports to the depart
ment show that experiments have
been carried on at Kankakee, ILL.,, for
some time, and information vas re-
ceived recently to the effect that by
the time this years crop of stalks is
ripe, the men using the process will
be ready to begin the manufacture
of paper on a large scale.
Samples of paper made from the
stalks of corn have been received at
the department. Three different
grades are exhibited. One is made
from the shell of the stock, another
from the pith, and a third from the
husk. From the pith is turned out a
fine grade of oil paper-almost, if not
quite, equal TO linen paper, experts at
the department say.
The department is informed that
the great problem has been to make
it an inducement to farmers to sell
their cornstalks to the manufacture
ers, instead of feeding them to live
stock. To overcome this obstacle, it
is announced, a machine has been in
vented and is building which will take
the stalk with the ear still on it,
husk the ear, remove the husk from
the stalk, and then remove the shell
from the pith. With a machine per
fected that will do this work, the
men who propose TO manufacture pa
per out of cornstalks viii propose to
farmers TO buy thei. corr crop out
right In the field. II the farmers
wish the corn after it has been
husked, it will be passed back to the
farmer or it will be marketed by the
paper manufacturers.
In time. it is predicted at the de-
partment there will be machinery
which will make us of every part of
the ~cornstalk and the ear. Instead of
turning the husked corn back to the
farmer or putting it on the market,
the buyers will grind it into various
kinds of food.-Gncinnati Price Cur

FASHIONABLE FRILLS.
partment Of Feminine
Apparel.

Chameleon silks in pale shades OF
sea green. rose color, and ciel blue,
shading into a shimmering tint of
silver gray, are extensively used by
French dressmakers for foundation
slips beneath sheer mousselines and
batistes, inset with lace appliques of
elaborate design, reports the New
York Post.
Serviceable dresses for young girls
are made of shepherds check wool
trimmed with bias bands of the goods
piped with red silk. with red stock
collar and girdle with sash ends.
There is a variety of washable
gloves this season. The washable
glace gloves cost So a pair, but white
and yellow chamois skin gloves can
be purchased for less than half that
price, also the finer castor makes
that can be cleaned, but no with
O and water. Then there are the
neat and durable fabric gloves, so
much liked for travelling and shop
ping, and the washable silk and Isle
varieties that fit almost like a kid
glove and wash like a cotton one.
One of the new skirt models In
white linen has the pointed yoke top
made of all-over Irish embroidery.
Below this yoke are graduated o
plaits with embroidered panels be-
tween each one. Accompanying this
skirt are a white net blouse lined
with white silk null, ard a bolero OF
embroidered linen finished with a
narrow edge of Irish guipure. The
open sleeves of this jacket end at the
elbow, showing the full, dropping
sleeves of the net blouse below.
Primrose, maize and soft canary
are three tints of yellow that are
being widely used on gowns for the
summer. The delicate maize color is
particularly attractive in crepe de
chine. with tucked skirt set into a
hip yoke of ecru lace, and finished at
the hem with three rather wide bias
folds arranged like tucks. The yoke
and sleeve puffs OF the bodice are OF
ecru lace. and the lower half is laid
in box plaits. Bias folds of the crepe
de chine frame the edges of the yoke
front and back.
There is an unusual variety among
waists of wash flannel this season,
the display including Saxony, Scotch,
Irish and American weayes. These
waists are indispensable for the cool
DAYS of summer, for outings in the
mountains, for the beach, yachting
and steamer wear. The new designs
include basket and corded patterns,
armured and creped weaves OF the
finest texture, in various combina-
lions of stripes and dots, and woven
effects in feather or briar-stitchlng.

Hon. F. A. Derthick, chairman of
the committee on agriculture, Ma
tional Grange, says:
"We have more wealth than any
other class. We have invested in our
business sixteen billions of dollars,
and the last census credits us with an
annual income of more than four bill
lions of dollars. The year book for
1901 SAYS that in that year we not
oply furnished food and clothing for
the seventy-six millions of our own
people, but sent Gro the sea nine
and one-half millions of our products
to preserve the balance of trade.

so doing. They ask no assistance
from us in protecting their interests,

us to take ARE of ourselves. The

trained and inexperienced, are help

A BALLOT DEFINED.

Having noticed the editorial commen,

ballots, II would seem that little def mite
information may serve TO eDl ghten, not
only the editor. but the public at large.
ana perhaps save the city the expense OF
needless and foolish litigation.
Let US begin with definition. Ac-
cordlng to the Century Dictionary a

for the same purpose, on which is printed
or written an expression OF the elector' 5
choice as between candidates or PROPOSE.
tions to be voted for" Now it naturally
follows that blank ticket contains no
expression OF choice" and is not a
ballot within the definition given.
Rule 90 of the Rules of the United
States House OF Representatives, says
"And in all balloting blanks shall be
rejected and not taken into the count in
enumeration of votes or reported by the
tellers. Again, note the following cita-
ton from Cushing's LAW and Practice
OF Legislative Assemblies"
"Section ia. p. 43. Pieces of paper,
Of the shape, size and general appear
ance of ballots, but without any name on
them, placed in the ballot box by Quali-
fed voters. under the pretence OF voting,
are known by the incongruous name OF
blank votes or ballots, and. in some Sec
tions OF the country, il is underscod, are,
or have been allowed to be counted as
ballots, in making up the whole number
OF votes, where an absolute majority is
necessary to a choice; on the ground
that being cast by qualified voters as
and for ballots, they must be received
and allowed all the effect, of which they
can, by any possibility be capable name
ly. that OF being counted against the
candidates v ted for by the other eIec
tors"
"This ground is wholly untenable, mas
much as the right OF suffrage is right on
the part of the electors to elect some one to
an Office, and not q right TO prevent an
election from being made; and, as all
the electors have the same right, il fol-
lows, that each of them Is bound to ex-
ercise his particular right in such man
ner, as. to allow to every other elector.
the free and full exercise of the same
right on his part, which would not be the
case, if one elector had the power by
means Of blank, to defeat the vote OF
another for particular candidate, with
on, himself voting for anybody. Suffrage
being solemn duty, as well as funda.
mental right. ought neither TO be neglec-
ted nor abused" Comment on this sub
ject is unnecessary.
