To Beat the Record.

The farmers of Iowa have good
reason to feel happy over the outlook
for the corn fields this year. There is
every indication of record breaker
this year.
Il feel safe in predicting that with
in two years the average yield of corn
per acre in Iowa will be forty bushels
to the acre, as against thirty five
bushels. ten year average at present, "
said George Wells, secretary of the
Iowa Grain Dealers association.
''This year will see Iowa with a
bumper corn crop. 1t is now at such
a stage that the frost can't beat it un-
less some miraculously early frost
should come. 1t will be a great year
for the farmers. Just look at the price
of corn now in the face of this pro.
missing yield. l tell you all the corn
belt will not be as fortunate as Iowa
this year. 1t is Iowa and the north
west which is fortunate this sum-
mer.
"Prof. P. G. Holden. who has
charge of the new, college extension
work at Ames college, is now installed
and is planning for regular
systematic extension work among the
farmers. His work will mean a
gradual increase in yield to farmers.
Application of science to the raising
of corn will mean much to the Iowa
farmers and the rapidly discovered new
uses for corn will maintain good
prices. The outlook of corn is now
about the same as stated in our last
crop bulletin.

Threatens to Bolt.

The Register and Leader, chief organ
of Gov. Cummins in his campaign for
a third term is becoming historical.
In a startling editorial of recent date
it declares that in the event of the
defeat of Cummins in the eovention,
the partizans of that gentleman will
bolt and hold a rump convention and
nominate him at all hazards. 1t un-
blushingly projects the following as
consequence of the defeat of the boss:
THE CERTAINTY OF TWO

state tickets in the field, another of
these contingencies is the UNCER-
TAINTY IN HALF THE CONGRESS

the field, it is not only possible that
democratic Legislature should be elect
ed. but probable. AND THE NEXT

would not be possible for Gov. Cum
Minis to head one ticket and Mr.. Per-
kins another in the present state of

Public Printer Stillings, who has
been criticized by certain members of
Congress for the delay in getting out
the printing and especially for the
error of printing an item SO, 600, coo in
the sundry civil appropriation bill,
which ought not to have been in
cluded, is replying to his critics with
much vigOr. He states that the delay
is not due to the lax methods of the
Government Printing Office, but to
the habit Congress has of rushing
through whole lot of bills at the
last moment, before adjournment,
which makes it impossible for the
printed matter to be gotten out in
time with the present force of en-
plOyees. AS to the item in the sun
dry civil bill, he states that his office
discovered the error and notified the
enrolling clerk of the House. who
replied that his instructions were to
keep the item in the bill 1t looks

The Inter Ocean one day last week
contained telegram from Fort Dodge
anent Senator J. P. Dolliver which
afforded some amusement to the wit
nesses of the occurrence and goes to
show that even so distinguished a
person as he may be mistaken for
another.
Because he wore a big slouch hat
United States Senator J. P. Dolliver
was taken for hack driver this after
noon and given severe reprimand for
permitting his team to stand in spot
forbidden by the city ordinances.
Station Master Forsyth administered
the tongue lashing and warned the
supposed hack driver that if he did
not know more than to let his horses
stand in flower bed he ought to have
a guardian appointed.
Senator Dolliver replied without
visible agitation that the point seemed
to be we'll taken and that he would be
more careful in the future. By this
time crowd had gathered and Forsyth
was given chorus of hoarse boots,
which was his first intimation that he
had made blunder.
Forsyth is new man and did not
know Dolliver. He was much cha.
gsined to learn that the Senator was
not the offending hack driver and
made earnest apologies. Senator Doll.
iver took the matter as joke and said
the rebuke served him right for wear
ing his brother Vic's hat.

The passage of the law allowing the
common carriers to keep animals in
transit for periods of thirty.six hours,
without food, water, or rest, instead
of twenty-four hours as heretofore, has
raised storm of indignation among
the Humane Societies, as veil as the
country at large. Secretary Agricul-
ture Wilson is going to do his best to
counteract the effect of the hastily
passed and cruel statute. He proposes
to hold the railroads to the letter of
the law. and to make it exceedingly hot
for them at the slightest violation Of
the statute, instead of allowing them
to confess Judgment, and pay the
minimum penalty of 800 per case, as
was done formerly.

killed him. The Secretary of the Navy
ordered ali investigation of the affair,
and it was reported to the Department
that all the sailors on the Helena had
satisfactorily proved an alibi In
view of the strong feeling against
Americans which exists in China at
the present time, however, it was
deemed wise to pay the claim, as an
act of friendly goodwill toward

sum that represents the value of the
commerce of the United States during

means that for every man, woman and
child in the land, goods worth $SS
were exported or imported. A condi-
tion of things which indicates a
prosperity that should gladden. the
heart of every one. No country in
