Corn shrsnkaee.

At the Iowa experiment station In
1898 1000 pounds of corn were husked
and stored in crib on Oct. 10. The
crib was built upon the platform Of a
pair OF scales, 50 that weighings could
be made at any time without moving
the corn or destroying the normal con-
ditdons OF storing. The weights taken
weekly during an entire year show
some variations due to the weather.
The shtnkage during the year was 8
per cent of the original weight for the
first three months, At per cent for
the second, IT per cent for the third
and 81 per cent for the last three
months. The loss for the entire period
amounted to 1.430 pounds, or a little
more than 20 per cent.

boards pianed on edges to suit space

In place. Hinge the boards at side so
as to stand up supported by the stand
ards when ON the wagon and fold up
when not in USE Or the hinges may be
put on on the outside, having back Of
hinges next to the boards. The side
boards will then turn out instead of In
when folded and will just turn In far
enough to stand erect when on the

Another way to overcome the main
disadvantages of loose boards on the
bed is to have each side board and the
bottom board Immediately under it
nailed and strapped together as in Fig.

tom will keep them in place when put

loose boards laid between in the usual
manner will make the wagon ready

the Egyptian government that the ST.
mai peninsula, adjoining Palestine, be
opened to the Jews for the purpose of
founding new land of Zion. Egypt
regarded the proposition favorably, and
a commission of Zionists investigated
the matter. The lack of water in this
territory. however. necessitated the
abandonment OF the project.
Then came the proffer from Great
Britain Of the east African region. The
country which has been rendered as a
gift TO the Zionists was opened up and
made accessible by the completion of
the Uganda railway last year. This
railway was constructed at cost of
over $3000O,00O and has been of i'm
mense value to the region. 1t Is said
that England's offer to give the land
to the Zionists has not met with the APP
pCOIal of the few British people who
live In east Africa. They hold that the
government should take other steps to
colonize the Uganda country, and the
proposal to turn the region over TO the
Jews has come as shock to some Of

WNHE Zionist congress recently
held tn Basel, Switzerland, will
long be remembered as notable
because of England's offer of a
large tract of land in east Africa as a
refuge TO the Jews, new land of
promise. The proposal Of the British
government to the Zionist congress Is
to establish an aut0nomic Jewish set
tlement in that part OF the British East
African protectorate which lies ON the
high plateau of the Victoria Nyanza
between the Narobi and the Man es-
carpment, and thus to direct the ex-
odus Of the Jews from Europe to the

FOR ROUGH HAULING.

A Handy Substitute That Saves the
Regular Wagon Box.
For handling manure, earth, stone
ETC., good farmer does not like to use
the regular box of his farm wagon. and
he may for some kinds Of rough and
dirty work replace the box with rough
boards laid loosely between the stand
ards in the old way. This method has
some disadvantages, however, as the
bottom boards are apt to work out of
place and the side boards to fall down
at the least provocation. An Ohio
Farmer writer therefore suggests that
1t is best to go to a little more trouble
and arrange the boards as illustrated

CHOOSE
THEIR REFEREE

The question of a referee for the big
boxing contest on Saturday evening,
always a difficult matter to solve sat
isfactorily for principals and public
alike, has not yet been arranged for the
Woods-Millett 10 round contest, al
though the choice has practically sim
mered down to two men, Jesse Woods
and Jack Weday.
Either of these would be acceptable
as fair and impartial men and Woods
has had considerable experience in
such work. The office of referee in
bout between heavyweights is no sine
cure and entails considerable amount
of physical exertion aside from the
mental capacity, special knowledge and
general quickness required. The seIec-
ton will finally be made this morning.
A number of admirers of the fistic
art have travelled to Kalihi this week
to see Millett working out with De
Lyle and Kaminsky and as many more
daily go to Woods gymnasium. A
large number of prominent citizens
who have hitherto esahewed boxing
tournaments, have. attracted by the
unusually excellence of the program,
chosen selected places for tomorrow
evening. The box office opened yes
terday morning with the promise of a
congested house.
The match between All Sam and
Apana promises, so it's said, to be a
whirlwind affair from start to finish
and matters will certainly be mixed
between Huihui and Latham as the
latter after pluckily winning two bouts
only lost the decision after a hard tus-
sic last time and is convinced that he
can rectify all former mistakes.
The bantams, Heine and Van Geisen,
have considerable personal rivalry for
the supremacy and the go between

the fact that it comes from such Il

nature OF cumulative evidence going
TO prove that the thinking people OF
all parts OF The north are beginning to
see the negro problem In the proper
light When men like Mr.. EckelS am,

the people OF the south are working
earnestly and honestly ON these lines
and when they point out the loloy Of
