BIG SHRINKAGE I'M CORN
Test Shows An Unusual Amount
Of Moisture This Season

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. IL. To
show the amount of shrinkage
in corn this year, which has
been predicted to be more than
in an ordinary season, members
of the firm of the Wallace Pub
fishing company gathered ears
of corn early in the fall and
measured them and then hung
them up todry. The following
results were shown: An ear
of corn picked October 5,
weighed at that time twenty
one ounces, and was nine and
one-haif inches in length. On
Nov. II, this same ear weighed
thirteen and one-half ounces
and was eight and one-half
inches in length. Similar re-
suits were obtained from other
ears. An unusual amount of
moisture was in the corn cob
this year because of the great
amount Of water in the soil.
For this reason expert corn
growers advocated all the late
fall cribbing, and their predic-
tions that this would be neces-
sary have come true. With the
exceptionally favorable weather
Of the fall, the corn has ma
tured in splendid condition.

THE FRONT SEAT.
d 1t Worth q Conflict Between the
Husband and M-ifef


Without inviting discussion of this
thorny question, l may say that my
own opinion is-supposing anybody
wants it--that husbands rights are
what he can get. My view of a wife's
rights is the same. Whether 1t is wise
she cam is Il question OF eNpediency to
be decided according to circumstances
and individual inclination. The gov
erning principle of the situation is that
when two people ride the same horse
one must ride behind III both desire
to ride In front, either one must give
way or they must fight 1t out. In this
fight one or the other may be so
knocked about as to have no heart left
for the enjoyment of the front seat,
or the weaker vessel, while resigning
himself to the back seat, may vet make
the front one so uncomfortable that
the occupier's life is a misery to him.
The question, therefore, whenever n
conflict of rights arises is whether the
front seat is worth fighting about, and.
ii so, how long and how hard. Some
people prefer the back seat Many who
would take the front for choice would
rather give it up than have row
about 1T. They don't always lose so
much as you might think Mr. Weller

When Sixteen Miles, an Hour Made
tine Passengers Dizzy.
In 1890. when the railway was open
ed between Liverpool and Manchester,
the Liverpool terminus was at Wap-
ping. Lime street tunnel was not COM
pleted until about six years later.
At first the service consisted of three
trains each way on week days and two
on Sundays, but this was soon found
to be insufficient. After Lime street
station was opened there We're six first
class trains and six second class trains
each way on week days and two Of
each description on Sundays. The jour-
ney of thirty-one miles occupied near
ly two hours. which led to complaints
that the speed was too great to be
pleasant and caused dizziness. On the
other hand. sanguine expectations were
indulged i'll that In course Of time the
average rute of travelling would be Mt
least double the ordinary speed of the
BWiftest conveyallces drawn by horses.
1t was anticipated that the general
adoption of railways would lead to III
vast decrease in the consumption of
oats and hny by the substitution of
steam engines in lieu of horses, and
that portion of the soil which has hlth-
erto been allotted to the growth of

man species"-an important considera
tion in the time of the corn laws. 1t

railway system, so far from suppressed
ing horses, would lead to an immense
Increase in the demand for them.-Liv-

PERlLS OF LAND AND SEA
Canta!n Wi!!nef's Remarkable Es.
caDe Shows What TO Do in
Time ST Trouble

For many years, Captain Will
nef, says the Times Of Glouces-
ter, Mass, was one of the best
known seamen in the Glouces-
ter Fleet. The catarrhal
troubles with which he suffered
for fifteen years made him
dread the nights at sea, being
unable to lie down and sleep on
account of the constant catarrh-
al dropping
Captain Willnef went to two
different hospitals for treat
ment, but could get no lasting
benefit. He constantly raised
yellow and green phlegm and
his trouble became so unbear-
able and nauseating that he
was ashamed to go out in COM
pany. When dispairing of ever
getting relief his wife pur-
chased a Hyomei outfit for him
and trying it before going to
bed, he enjoyed the first whole
nights sleep for ten years.
Captain Willnef says 81 have
used less than two bottles of
Hyomei and have been cured
by the remedy. Hyomei kills
the germs of cattarrh and makes
lasting and permanent cures.
Elliott & Harvey sell Hyomei
under their personal guarantee
to refund the money if it does
not give quick relief.
