There is another feature OF the labor ques-
ton that has caused the men who have gone
into broomcorn more extensively to make
sweeping cuts In the acreage or abandon
It altogether. The cutters know exactly
when corn must be cut quick to save 1t. and
this IS the opportunity they take to demand
higher wages. The gang will pull together
and demand an increase OF Is cents; when
It Is granted It will be followed by another
and still another, the grower realizing that
he must surrender or lose heavily on his
crop. It Is asserted that this has caused
more growers to quit the business than any
thing else, and they are now raising Indian
corn and oats instead
For some time there hns been an effort to
make a machine that will reap broomcorn,
but up to this time there has been only part
success. One OF these machines Is manu-
featured in Paris, another In Ohio. The chief
trouble is that the machines that have been
tried do not bunch the brush evenly. Elk
periments are still being made. II a machine
Is perfected 1t will be of !ncalcuab BILE value
to growers OF one OF the most profitable
crops that our soil now produces.
Great Reduction In ACREAGE.
Back In the zoos 1t was scarcely possible
TO drive In any direction out Of Tuscola
or Arcola without encountering great fields
OF growing broomcorn. It was a common
thing to find single man growing 200 acres,
Today 1t Is said one may drive for ten miles
without finding patch. One broker says
that not one-quarter OF the broomcorn that
was produced FIVE or eight years ago is now
grown. Another broker estimates the slump
In acreage to be one-third. They all agree
that the labor question is mainly responsible
for the big reduction,
To show hew the great state OF Illinois has
lost from this stake OF affairs It is only neces-
sary to state that the central Illinois district
once produced more broomcorn than any
three states of the union. In 1850 kansas u
llnois and Missouri produced three-fouThs OF
ali the brooncorn raised In this country.
Oklahoma is now ahead OF any other section
In the production Of this crop, Last year the
territory produced 10000 tons For miles
and miles the right OF way OF the Rock Island
roa la through seas of waving broomcorn.
Much of 1t was frelghted to the central III
nois district, where It was rebaled and dis

Lives Of Great Men
Should Be Stu die d.
BY Il. F.. O,Connor.

~HERD are plenty of people who still
insist that the intimate relations Of
men and women should be kept sacred
and unseen; that they themselves are
the only persons who know all the
truth about these things. and that they never
tell, Others even go the length of arguing
that even II people did speak of these sacred
things their condolences should be shut out
from the world; that these things are none
OF the worlds business, and that 1t Is i'm
pertinence, morb!dty. and host Of other
wrong tendencies which demand or permit
the study OF such relations
entirely dissent from these doctrines, The
proper study of mankind Is man. and espe-
cially is this the case when the man studied
is one who stands out from his fellows by
some great gift. What Is all literature but
the study. the revelation of the heart of
man and woman. and OF the Infinite varieties
OF their relations to each other.

- THOUGH graft IN Its various forms
N seems to be hourlshing in many parts
~ OF the United States, there is ono class
4 of business men which Insists that tho
standard Of individual honesty among
Americans Is remarkably high.
This class Is made up Of tho hundreds OF
men who are engaged In the mail order bust
ness.
Many OF them send out valuable goods to
cities, towns. and farms throughout the
country and rely upon tho honesty OF the APP
plicants for the goods for their protection,
The man to whom the goods Is sent either
accepts them and sends back the money or
he finds that he does not care for the goods
he has ordered and sends them back, So
thoroughly have the mall order mercha nts
become convinced Of the honesty OF their
trade that they have to large extent ceased
to send out their products collect on delivery.
That method OF mailing was sure check
against dishonesty. The customer could
not take the goods from his postoflce until he
had paid for them.

Wrong to Obscure Truth.
No one gets up in the world of science and
demands that unpleasant truth shall be OBJ
scured or denied. It Is the first necessity of
scientific advance that truth, and truth alone,
should be the test and the goal. The Same
canon, to my mind. should be applied to lit
erature, and especially to that form of lit
erature called biography, would as soon
conceal from the world the realities Of great
mans or great woman's life as hide, II had

ailing for some time before she took

ambitious to give up, After she was
stricken her independence OF char

her husband kept their many friends
and acquaitances from knowing the
real condition of affairs, SO the news
of her death came as a shock to MAJ y
