CORN GROWERS ASSOCIATION.
Temporary State Organization
Effected at Mitchell Sept. %.

At the close of the Corn Palace at
Mitchell, September %, 1906, Super
intendent A. E. Chamberlain of state
farmers institutes, agreeable to prev
iOus notice, announced to the farmers
present that the purpose of the meet
ing was for the organization of a
South Dakota Corn Growers and Corn
Show Association, and called for the
nomination of a temporary chairman,
p. w. Peterson of Vermillion nomin-
ated Superintendent Chamberlain,
and by a unanimous vote he declared
Mr.. Chamberlain duly elected. Fl. G.
Warner of Forestburg was elected
temporary secretary.
After some discussion the chairman
was instructed to name the following
committees:
On Premium List: A. j. Wimple,
Reresford, Prof. j. S. Cole, Brookings,
II. G. Warner, Forestburg.
On Program and Printing: Arthur
Linn, Canton, G. e. Twamley, Alex
andria, J. w. Parmley, Ipswich.
On Constitution and BY Laws: P.
w. Peterson, Vermillion, Jos. Millett,
Hudson, G. B. Kennedy, Madison.
1t was decided to hold the first
meeting of the association at Mitchell
the week before Christmas, on a date
when Prof. Holden of Iowa could be
present, of which due notice will be
given.
Mitchell has agreed to provide $500
for premiums and other expenses of
the first session, and the various COM
mittees will report and permanent
officers will be elected.
Before the meeting adjourned it
was decided that the members Of the
various committees meet at Parker
October 13, when Prof. Holden will
deliver an address to the corr growers
of Turner county. "
The organization of a state aSsocia-
ton has been urged by the Leader
for the past two years and through
organization it is hoped TO GUS a
general interest in this great ques-
ton, because nearly all are convinced
that the value of the corn CROP on
every farm can be almost doubled,
hence we have reason to expect great
results from the new organization.

THAT CHINESE BOYCOTT.

Methods of the CeIestiaIs In Keep
ing American Goods Out of China.
The boycott in China against Amer
lean goods continues, and the problem
of securing satisfactory adjustment Of
the difficulty that has arisen becomes
more and more complex. The Chinese
merchants declare they will not handle
American imports until the American
congress makes satisfactory changes
In the laws governing exclusion Of Chi
neSe from the United States. Although
congress has been in session since early
in December, no such legislation is yet
in prospect. The Chinese minister at
Washington recently telegraphed his
government that it was extremely i'm
probable legislation such as the Chi
nese desire would be enacted.
The methods of the boycotters are
unique and characteristic Of the orient
The Chinese who are engaged in keep
ing American goods out of their cOun-
try do not hesitate to threaten with
death those who refuse to obey instruc-
lions. AT Shanghai the Chinese agents
Of leading American firms have been
notified by their fellow subjects that
they must give up their employment

then a territory. After it's admission

Kongo Free State. According to these
statements, the name of this African
country is most i'll chosen, for it's in
habitants are said to be the chattels
Of despOt who traff1cs in their blood
with a cold Indifference more becoming
a Nero than ruler of this enlightened
age. The subject of the alleged atroci-
ties in the KOngo is now under investi-
cation. The inquiry instituted by the
Belgian government itself brought out
such damaging facts that the immedi-
ate representative Of the king, a man
who, it is stated, had but carried out
his masters commands, committed sui
eide as soon as he learned what the
report was to be. Great Britain has
taken up the matter, and it is believed
that the acts Of King Leopolds agents
in that part of Africa will be exposed
shortly to the full light of publicity.
Leopold has been described as a mon
arch more interested in commerce than
in k1ngsh1p. He is always on the look
out for paying schemes, works hard,
generally rises at 6 o'clock and before
10 has transacted a fairly good days
work. As monarch of the Belgians his
powers are much circumscribed. No
act of his can have any effect unless
countersigned by one of his ministers,
and for whatever the king does his
ministers are responsible. He is very
democratic in his habits and often
mingles in crowds without his identity
being discovered. In Paris, however,
the striking figure of this ruler is
pretty well known. The king once
grew quite indignant because Tod
Sloane, the American jockey, refused
to accept some fried potatoes in a
French restaurant Then the same
portion was promptly placed in front
of the king, who discovered that they
had been cooked in rancid butter But
l ate them," he said las l thought it
would injure the business of the place
If ! sent them away again. Which
shows" he added, "that a jockey can
afford to be more particular than a
king"

Many Sided
Hing Leopold
OF Belgium

~ENERAL undertakings in which
- he is engaged have brought the
49, name of King Leopold of Bel
GUM under discussion. For a
small country Belgium assumes quite
large place in INTERNATIONAL affairs.
It mas equipped poiar expeditions
which have been successful in bring
Ing back valuable scientific data per
tanning to the far north and the far
south. Its ruler is practically the abso-
lutte monarch of the Kongo Free State,
and he is engaged in commercial en-
terprlses which give him a place as
captain OF industry as well as a SOW
erelgn. The leadership in matters of
exploration which Belgium has taken
mas prompted King Leopold to extend
an invitation in it's name to the arctic
explorers of the world to form a COM
munlty Of interests, a sort of polar
trust, by means of which the results
OF their explorations may be classified
ana made known to the world in the
most advantageous manner Through
this plan it is expected that arctic and
antarctic explorers will act in concord
and receive more liberal support
In this phase of his character Leo
pold of Belgium appears in the light Of
patron of science In others he poses
as patron of art and literature But
in some departments of his activity
the king of the Belgians appears in a
less favorable light. His fondness for
certain favorites of the theatrical
world is notorious, and he is known to
spend money freely in qualification of
the whims of stage beauties who
chance to please his fancy. 1t is AN
open secret that the conduct of the
gray whiskered monarch in the COM
pany Of these friends does not always
comport with the dignity of his throne.
But there is another aspect Of the
case of King Leopold that is even more
serious. The most shocking allegations
are made concerning his rule of the
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-01-27

unless they wish to be shot or have
their Threats cut, their houses burned
down and their families destroyed.
The inscription reproduced in this
column is a notice which has been
posted in many parts of the Chinese
empire. 1t intimates in terms which
the oriental understands that any mer-
chant having to do with American
goods should look out, as boycott has
been decided upon, to be in force from
the 18th of the sixth moon. There is a
figure of a tortoise, upon which are
characters meaning "cold blooded ami.
NAL" The notice ends with threat
which signifies more than the English
equivalent Of the characters express,
but which may be translated thus:
Those who buy American goods read
this. They shall receive adequate
treatment"
