The wedding nuptials of Miss
Jennie Schecter and Mr.. Alfonso
McCunniff were celebrated at the
home of the brides parents last
Sunday. October %. To the soft
strains of the wedding march from
Lohengren the couple took their
places in veritable bower of flow
ers in the parlors of the Schecter
home. Then as the music changed
to a soft rendition of "Call Me
Thine Own" the couple were joined
in the bonds of holy wedlock by
the Rev. Willard of the Methodist
church, the simple service of that
church being used.
The bride was tastily attired in
a blue travelling gown with white
silk waist and carried white bridal
roses. The groom wore conven-
tional black After the ceremony

LocaIitx and Corn Varieties.

An instructor at the Illinois Agricul-
tural College recently said to a group
Of farmers, relative to corn: There is
more difference between the same va
rieties grown in different localities
than there is between the different va
rieties grown in the same locality
This is rather strong statement,
and we do not believe it can be sub
stantiated in TOTO for there is certain
ly great difference between Boone
County white and Leaning corn, even
when grown in the same township.
We judge, however, that the instruct
or was merely using litt.a extreme
language to point relative truth. He
doubtless mealt that certain allied
varieties of corn were more affected
by locality than by varietal difference.
1t has been demonstrated again and
again that locality does very greatly
! affect the corn plant. much more than
some other kinds Of grains grown on
the farm. This is cue doubtless to the
great changes that have taken place in
the corn plant in tAe last fifty years.
So much is this the case that some
seed houses grow corn in certain lati-
tudes for sale only in those latitudes.
One seed house some years ago pub
nshed chart giving the isosthermal
lines and noting on the chart what
kinds of corn tog order for each terri
tory.
The professors at the agricultural
colleges recognize this truth, but few
are as yet able to distinctly define it.
There are more men studying corn in
more localities than ever before, and
the mass of evidence that is being ac-
cumulated will determine many OF the
questions that we are now asking

started to study up the statistics Of
corn growing. | was under the impress
sion that 1t was grown on but a Limits
ed area and that there were many
states in which corn was not grown at
all except a little sweet corn FOR the
family. My surprise was great to find
that corn is grown in every state in
the Union
There are over five million farms in
the United States. and corn is grown
on IS per cent of them. That leaves

attention that is given it by the agri-
cultural colleges and farmers insti-

used to wonder why at the farm
ers' Institutes the speakers did not
pay more attention to the growing OF
other crops, such as beans, turnips,
carrots, green peas and the like. L
asked professor why they did not
have more variety in their programs.
and he replied that the first work OF
the stations was to teach the farmers
low to grow corn, potatoes and the
few leading crops which are Of So
much Importance

Especially so when l consider further
that the five great states in this little
western country produce half Of the
corn grown in the United States. II
any people ever studied corn we
should study it. and ! propose to do
my share.
After all, begin to see that we can
get rich selling corn and still keep up
the fertility OF our farms, If we go at
the matter right. The starch in the
kernel of the corn is only the carbon
caught by the leaves from the air. We
are thus selling Gully air 30 far as the
starchy matter Il concerned, and that
is a large part Of the whole crop. for

up the fertility of our land in raising
wheat, but not in raising corn, and il
we don't learn how to both raise corn
and improve our land it seems to me
we are stupid.

Cromwell's parting advice Don't
doubt Jane God nor man nor nature
can do anything for doubters. They
cannot" She understood what was
included in this advice, and she tried
to realize it. The moment Mrs. Swat

tice Of the change in her countenance
and speech and manner, and she said
to herself, Jane has been with Oliver
Cromwell No one else could have so

themselves that few more weeks of
patience would end the suspense.

CHAPTER XII.
Hold Thou My Hands.


This day was followed by a week Of
wretched weather. Jane could do
nothing but wait. She fully resolved
when she visited Cromwell to show
him the heart OF a fearless woman
brave. because she doubted neither
God nor man.
It was. however. the month of
March before this visit could be made.
one exquisite morning in March she
heard Cen Swaffhan say that the
Cromwell ladies were going to Hamp
ton Court. The Protector would then
Be alone in Whitehall, and she might

pared a note asking for an interview,
and then called on Mr.. Milton and
Induced him to 60 with her to the pal
ance and deliver It into Cromwell's
hand. In her simplicity she consid-
cred this little plan to be very wise
one, and so it proved. Her fear left
her as soon as the door closed. and
she was alone with her old friend.
"Jane," he said kindly, Jane. what
is the trouble?"
1T is Lord Neville, sir. Nothing
has been heard Of him."
