LOCAL SEED GROWING
Careful Seed Corn Growers Needed In

In a recent bulletin of the Nebraska

Lyon makes the following statements.
which have a most important bearing
on the subject of home grown seed;

the country for a number of years is

effect of climate in modifying the corn

was found to be heavier in the corn
grown from the seed just from Iowa.
but the proportion of ear to stalk was
higher In the acclmated corn. The
Nebraska corn averaged almost 200
square inches less leaf area, which was
to be expected Of plants grown in a
drier climate. The yield Of grain was

To get the best results in corn grow

ternoon did the Jail physician de-
clare that she bas typhoid fever.
Even now be refuses to state defin-
ately that this Is her ailment, but
he admits that all the symptoms of
the disease are present. Esther
Mitchell, since her confinement in
the Jail has enjoyed fairly good
health until about week ago. At
that time she complained of the
prison fare and of her inability to
eat it.
Four days ago she took to her
lcot, and has not been able to rise
from it since. The girl murderess
is but shadow of her former self.
Always frail, the confinement has
worn her down to mere shadow.

action of Secretary Measer, of the white
BARRIERS Local Union, in taking the union
cards from the white BARRIERS who kept
open their shops on Thanksgiving day,
would not be sanctioned by the Journey
man BARRIERS International Union, was
fatty denied by several officials of th@in-
ternationaI body yesterday afternoon. It
was said that if Secretary Measer had
not taken the action he did he would be
liable TO a fine of from s. to $40 for each
case.
His action was by authority Of section
123, of the constitution and bylaws of
the international union, which states
that all shops Shall be closed on all
legal holidays. excepting in the case when
they fall on Saturday or Monday, when
all shops shall close at y o'clock noon,
