Special to Times Republican.
Montezuma, Nov. 27.-Putting into
practice the principles Of Professor
Holden's corn gospel, gained for him
an enormous crop Of corn and pump
kins, raised on an experimental field
Of forty acres, in Union township. One
acre Of this field has yielded LAT
bushels of good corn, besides five big
loads of pumpkins, and such results
are surprise to everyone, as never
before were more than eighty-seven
bushels raised on any acre Of this
field. The remainder Of the field has
yielded nearly as much per are as the
the one acre mentioned. Many per-
sons who did not believe 1t went out
from here to see the great corn field
and returned convinced that they had
never seen its equal. Consequently 1t
is regarded as natural wonder.

SCHOOLS CROWDED.
Petworth Citizens Want Additional
Buildine-Other Business Considered.

The members of the Petworth Citizens
Association adopted a resolution last night
setting forth the need of additional school
room for the children of that section. The
resolution cited the crowded condition or
the schools at present and the necessity for
the relieving of these conditions. The meet
ing of the association was held at the home
of President GUIDE. Secretary Particle pre-
sented the school resolution and made
short statement of the conditions. AT pres
ent he said, the various grades at the
Petworth school are compelled to hold half
day sessions in order to accommodate all
the pupils AS a majority of the children
attending school in the District leave school
to earn their livelihood before reaching the
high school, more attention should be paid
to the graded schools and better facilities
afforded the prospective pupils for obtain
ing an education. When the legislative APP
preparation is too small to properly sup
port both the high and graded schools, ne
said. the major consideration, 1t would
seem, should be given to the lower grades.
President GUIDE brought forward the ques-
ton of mail service, which, he said, was
inadequate. He advised, however, that the
secretary be instructed to communicate
with Postmaster Merritt before action
should be taken by the association on the
subject. Mr.. A. w. Oyster presented a
resolution, which was unanimously adopt
ed, providing for District ownership OF
street railways, gas and electric lighting
plants. He presented a number of argu-
ments in favor of his resolution. He then
made short address, protesting vigorously
against the high assessments in the Dis
trict He supplemented his address with
resolution in which he stated that assess
ments on property ranging in value from
81, 900 to 1000 have been from % to 30 per
cent higher than on property ranging in
value from $50 600 to 100000 or more 1t
was further set forth that it is the sense
of the association that assessors should
assess all property without fear or favor.

ing was brought to a close with an ad-
