The Grain Dealers National Associ.
kce. passed the following resolutions:
whereas, Seed houses do a large
business in the sale of seed grains
and thereby may materially affect the
general business OF the crops Of grain
thus produced, either for better or
worse; and,
Whereas, It Is known that seed
thus sold by seed houses does not al
ways possess the merit Of type and
breeding sufficient to meet the expec-
tations Of the purchaser, and in fact
often does not tend to raise the
standard Of the general crops pro-
duced. For example it has been too
common a practice for seedsmen TO
purchase ordinary corn from farmers
cribs and sell the same under special
brands when In fact 1t possessed no
special merit whatever, with respect
to type and breeding, and the same is
true in regard to other grains; there.

Corn In British India.

The cultivation of Indian corn, or
maize, has within the past century
become a factor Of great importance
In the rural economy of British India.
The Indian Agriculturist (Calcutta)
OF June l, 1904, says: This grain, II
we consider the whole Of India col.
lectively, is now Of equal economic
importance with wheat. In the hilly
tracts of the country especially, and
among the bulk Of the aboriginal
tribes, 1t Is chiefly depended upon as
a means Of subsistence. Yet the bot.
anist. Roxburgh, writing about hun
dred years ago, described 1t as cult.
waited in various parts of India in gar.
dens, and only as n delicacy, but not
anywhere on the continent OF India,
as far as can learn, as an extensive
crop. Its use in upper India may have
been more general at that time than
this writer was aware, for its most
common vernacular name, makkai,
derived from Mecca, is supposed to as
sociate it's introduction with the Mo-
gul dynasty. But there Is no name
for maize In Sanskrit, and the grain
has no recognized place N the re.
ligious or social ceremonies OF the
Hindus. Few of those who cultivate
It now have any idea that it is an
innovation, and the fact that its local
name Is often that Of some much Older
crop encourages the pious belief that
1t has been the staple food Of the
district for untold generations"

RIDICULOUS CRY
OF DEMOCRATS
Claim Ballots Were Tam
pered With Before Reach
ing Judges
MORRISON -M'FARLIN DISTRICTS

Now that the official canvass Of the
votes cast in this county has been COM
pIetod by Chief Justice Lore and Judge
spruancc, sitting as a board of canvass,
tho Democrats are claiming that ballots
IN the second election district Of White
Clay Creek hundred were tampered with
some time between the sealing Of the box
I'm the polling place at Newark and the
time they were recounted by the judges.
Il was I'm this district that the Board of
Canvass rejected six ballots that We're
marked. Five Of them had been cast for
Morrison. the Democratic candidate for
Levy Coml In the Fifth district and one
for McFarlin. the Republican candidate.
This gained McFarln four votes and
made the tie with Morrison.
The election officers I'm the second dis
trict OF White Clay Creek hundred were
George Ferguson. Democrat, inspector;
George d. Medni. Democrat judge
Howard Leak Republican, judge.
An OF these officers. It is said, have
stated that there were nine ballots re-
iccted by them and that they arc positive
the six ballots thrown out by the Judges
Of the Superior Court. because they We're
marked. were not so dcfaced ON election
night when the returns were made up.
This claim seems to be ridiculous in
the face OF the facts of the case. Under
the law Inspector George Ferguson
Democrat. became solo custodian Of the
ballot box, after il was locked on cleo
tion night and he could not legally let il
out of his possession.
Il was the duty of Inspector Ferguson
III
sealed with tape and sealing wax, to
Prothonotary Frank T.. Speakmnn at the
court house the morning after election.
Then Il became Prothonotary Speak
muns duty TO deliver the ballot box to
shoud Stdham whom the court called
FOR that particular box. and the box was
unlocked and the seal was broken IN the
presence of the court.
From the time the box was delivered
by Inspector Fcrguson-if Il was deliver
ed by him pcrsonally-to prothonotary
Spcakman. the ballot box of the Second
district of White Clay Creek hundred.
with tho other boxes was under survcil-
lance at all times I'm Prothonotary Speak
mans office by committee composed of
one Democrat one Republican and one
Union Republican. one such committee
was on duty during the day, and another
such committee was on duty during the
night.
Thus IL IS ridiculous TO suppose FOR
an instant that there could have been
any tamperng with the ballot box IN
the Office of Prothonotary Spcakman.
when one Democrat, ono Republican ana
one Union Republican were always pres
ont and guarding the boxes
From prothonotary Spealymans Office

PROPER BREATHING.
Use the NOstrils, Not the Mouth, and
Take Deep InhaIntiona.

Use the NOstrils, Not the Mouth, ana
Take Deep InhaIntions.
Did you ever observe whether Won
breathe through the mouth or nostrils?
1t makes a wonderful difference. When
we talk we are forced to breathe
through the mouth, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. When not speaking the
lips should be well closed, and the
breathing should be entirely by the
nostrils. but this is not all. The habit
of slow. measured. deep breathing that
covers the entire lung surface is OF
more value and Importance than you
VIII ever believe until you have tried
It, and when you have established the
habit Of breathing in this manner you
will sag some remarkable things in its
favor. It viii reach all points of your
physical system. All the benefits that
occur from a healthy condition OF the
blood will in a greater or less degree
be yours, for the manner and complete
ness with which the inhaled air comes
IN contact with the blood I'm the lungs
are Of the utmost Importance to every
vital process. The lungs are kind Of
furnace, in which the oxygen of the
air is consumed and combined with
other elements, a process necessary to
life, the perfection Of which depends
upon the purity OF the air and the man
ner OF inhaling It.
