warning Iowa farmers against sending to

he insists that there is plenty of good
seed corn in Iowa. Farmers should
take extra precaution in testing seed
this year, for it is highly probable that
much of it will not grow, and nobody
can afford to plant poor seed. Test ii
thoroughly and be certain. Take box

board have taken stand against the

of the fact that few of the students oil

ton of "Juss Plain Folks" and "Dad's
Grip given at the opera house last Fri
day and Saturday nights. The board
held meeting Friday night and adopt
ed an article prohibiting students from
taking part in Theatrical or amateurish
exercises, not given under the auspices
of the school or sanctioned by its auth

board in passing this new regulation
does not mean to discredit the profess

of the pupils at heart.

At the school election out in District
s, Center township, last Monday, there
was rather an amusing circumstance. A
sub.director was to be elected and only
four men came to vote. Frank CARRIER
and Jim Sears were the candidates, and
before the polls closed it was known
that the vote was a tie. Both of the
candidates wanted the other fellow
elected, and Frank CARRIER thought of a
little scheme, so he demanded that the
judges keep the polls open a few min
utes, and then went to the nearest
house and got the lady to come over to
the school house and vote for Sears, all
OF the parties supposing women had the
right to vote, SO Sears was declared
elected. Frank was in town the next
day telling US how smoothly he had
worked it, and also that it was the first
vote ever cast by woman in Center
township. But it developes that women
can only vote on the question of
issuing bonds and not for director and
the judges, candidates and district are
wondering where they are at.

Popular opposition to the proposed
steal was too overwhelming for congress
to ignore. The authorization of the
shocking grab meant political annihila-

A merchant recently said to an editor
that he was afraid to stay out an issue

cause the wait.awhile habit. The regu-
lar advertising may not convince all the
people, but it is what makes the general
impression and what gives the store
the advantage over the other man who

PERPETUAL LIGHT.
May Be Obtained by Soaking SuIphate
of Zinc In Radium Solution.

If an active product of radium is
shut up in a closed space with other
substances and they are left together
a certain time. it will be found that
such substances have acquired an &C
tiVity analogous to that of radium it
self and the smaller the space in
which they are shut up the greater the
activity.
For example: Take two glass bulbs
connected by a horizontal tube. Into
one of the bulbs pour a solution of
chloride of radium; in the other phOs-
phorescent sulphate of zinc. Close the
bulbs completely, so as to exclude the
air from them. When this combina-
ton is kept in the dark it will be found
sooner or later, that the sulphate OF
zinc has become luminous. as well
as all the glass in the apparatus. If
the two bulbs are separated the sui
phate Of zinc will continue luminous
for some time-perhaps a month-but
gradually becoming weaker. If the at
mosphere be admitted to the bulb the
light disappears within a few hours

UNCLE SANS PRINT SHOP.
Secretary CorteIyou's Report As to
and Miller Is In Teddy's Hands.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
Secretary Cortelyou has turned over
to the president his reports covering
a general investigation of affairs IN
the government printing office, and OF
the Miller case. but the president has
not had time to take them up, owing
to a press of business in connection
with the early opening of congress.
The printing office report is very
exhaustive and it may form the basis
of several long needed reforms. Pos
sibly Public Printer Palmer may re-
tire for the report will be indirectly
rather, a severe criticism of his ad
ministratiOn.
1t is understood that the report
says that the cost of work in the
printing office is excessive, that the
office is governed by labor unions and
congressional influence, and that it is
sadly deficient in system and modern
business methods.
No inkling has been given as to
what the report will recommend as
to Miller. The president, by the ag-
gressiVe action of the union has been
placed in a peculiar position as to
Miller. If he dismisses him it will
be looked upon as a backing down from
the position taken by him early in
the discussion
If the charges of immoral conduct
made against Miller are found to be
substantiated, the president may feel
like dismissing him, and yet he will
approach that conclusion reluctantly
because of the way the issue has been
made. Both reports ought to reach
the public shortly.
