NO SUCH THING AS
"CORN-WHEAT" is KNOWN

Washington, March 2S.-The de.
partment of agr'cJ lture has received
an enormous number of letters from
farmers in all parts of the country
asking for definite information con-
corning the so-called new grain called
"corn-wheat." The department au-
thorizes the statement that there is
no such thing as ''corn-wheat" and
that it is probable no hybrid of corn
and wheat can ever be produced.

Hs1 GAVAN DUFFY N Ss2l

Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, Irish pa
triot, diplomat, journalist, former
prime minister Of Victoria. who died
recently at Nice, France, was one of
the founders of The Nation and was
intimately associated with O'Connell
in the repeal rays. He was one of
the last of the living leaders who won
name and fame in the stirring days
of AS.
His career was an eventful one. A
few years ago he published an autobI-
ography, MY Life in Two Hemis-
pheres," which is of engaging interest
Sir Charles began the work by say
ing:
| propose to write my memoirs,
not because l assume that the world
is impatient to become acquainted
with my adventures and misadven-
lures, but because have seen life UNI
der strange and varied conditions in
many notable men. and have some
thing to tell of those protracted exper-
fences which may prove worth hear
ing. In the language of Browning
Il have trod many lands, known many
men. Probed many hearts, beginning
with my own"
And why should omit another and
stronger motive? For a generation |
was factor in whatever was done or
projected n the public affairs of Ire
land, AID if my countrymen in after
times COME to regard that era as the
well-head of their liberty they can
never be Indifferent to it's authentic
history. For nearly another genera
ton lived in new country, whose
marvellous development is destined to
take permanent place in the annals
of mankind. and | was not an idle
witness of its progress.
Sir Charles was born in Monaghan,
where the family resided, in 1916. His
father died when he was only 10
years old, leaving somewhat involved
estate, which was taken charge of
by the mother. Charles attended what
was then called poor school" Such
schools were generally held in barn
or a garnet. but were looked upon as
evidence of remarkable progress over
the hedge schools"
He left the academy because the
principal punished him unjustly. Sub
sequently he carried on his studies at
home where he was mainly selfedu-
Gated When he was about Is years
old he made the acquaintance of
Charles Hamilton feeling, one of the
surviving leaders of 1898, who in
vited him to contribute to his journal.
The Northern Herald. After sending
occasional contributions to this paper,
young Duffy made I'D his mind to en-
ter journalism as a profession, and
went to Dublin, where he served an
apprenticeship on The Morning Reg
lister.
Later Duffy became a subeditor of
The Register, and when he was %
years old he was elected to edit new
paper which was started by Ulster
Catholics in Belfast
AS a political journal The Vindica-
tor was a success, but the editor also
desired to awaken an interest in ma
tive literature. Among his contribu-
tors was the remarkable poet, James
Clarence Mangan, who afterward con-
tributed some of the noblest poems to
The Nation.
The Nation was established by Duff

ILLINOIS SCHOOLS MAKE
NEW ATHLETIC RULES

Bloomington, March 2S.-Delegates
from all colleges, universities and
many public schools of Illinois yester-
day held a conference in college attn
letics and decided upon a code of rules
to promote uniformity of action and
regulating the introduction and the
management of athletics in Illinois
schools. The regulations are similar
to those in use in Iowa and other
states.

the electric light plants. Work on the
protection of the levee through the
main street is abandoned and the wat,
er has reached the highest point in the
city. Appeals for help have been
coming in all night. News comes that
people are seen clinging to roofs of
waters. Many lives are reported lost,
woman and five children perishing in
one house. 1t is expected that by
morning the water will cover all parts
of the city.
New Orleans Excited.
New Orleans, March 2S.-1nterest il
the food situation here yesterday cen
tered in the break at Hymelia, near
Lucy, La, 40 miles above the city, and
a disastrous crevasse is reported south
of Greenville. Cotton men felt espec1-
ally concerned with respect to the lat
ter and the news in private messages
that 100000 acres of the richest delta
land probably would go under water
created a feeling of depression. Last
nights advices from Hvmclia were to
the effect that if the work of the le-
borers is not interrupted the break will
be closed tomorrow. The crevasse is
in the heart of one of the richest sugar
districts in Louisiana. The Illinois
Central railroad expects to suspend
traffic as g result of the disaster. The
belief that the Hymelia levee was cut
in order to relieve otter sections Is
strong and any attempt 20 repeat the
action is likely to be followed by
bloodshed if the perpetrators are
caught.

1000 SETTLERS
HEADED WEST
Extra Trains Added in
Order to Handle
the Crowds
PASSENGER BLOCKADE
Seems Probable on Both Northern
Pacific and Great Northern.
Rush Begins Wednesday.
BLOCKADE

1t is estimated by local railway men
that fully 1000 immigrants will be
headed for the northwest within the
next few days. 1t has been necessary
for both the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific lines to put on ex-
ira trains and run the regulars in
two sections to accommodate the
crowd that will start from the Twin
Cities next Wednesday.
1t Is understood that number of
trainloads have already been arranged
for and according to present indica-
tions a passenger blockade will be III
force for a while in the Twin Cities.
The roads are calling in from the
various branches passenger equip
ment to handle the business which
has already been contracted for, and
at the present rate it promises to be
the biggest rush of emigrant business
ever experienced in the northwest
People are taking advantage of the
low passenger rate which has been
extended to homeseekers until
June Is.
