Beating the Devil With Corn.

There is very early variety OF
Sweet Corn called Peep O'Day, which is
ten days to two weeks earlier than any
other sort.
Rev. A. L., Struthers Of Alfred, Me-,
in writing about this corn early last
July, said:
" 1 told an old farmer the other day
that I had green corn for dinner. He
looked at me in astonishmentt, theT
said: Out of "a can9' I said, No, off
the cob Come from the South - No,
out Of my garden He looked at me a
minute and then said, That beats the
devil!
So While my occupation as a minister
is fighting the devil, I never thought
before Of competing with him in raising
corn, and I surely could not succeed in
doing so with any other variety.
B Peep O'Day has a national reputation
as the earliest sweet corn, but in addi-
ton has also the name of being the
sweetest Of all varieties Of sweet corn,
and should be. in every garden.
Peep O Day is one Of the many varie-
ties Of choice. garden IS seeds sold at at

cording to Washington dispatch to the

who says:
The President believes that one OF
the most serious problems now confront
ing the American people is how TO deal

shores During the fiscal year which
ends on June 90 next all immigration rec
ords will have been broken IN those
twelve months 100000 steerage passen-

greatest number arriving in any pre-
vious year was S57 O46, during the twelve
months ended with June. 1908. For the
year 1904 it was 8l2.S70.

The Iowa State Board of Health has

against whiskers. He also is opposed
TO long skirts worn by women. He
says they help to spread disease
breeding germs
