Chaney tor Speaker.

The Yankton Press and Dakotar
pays Mr.. CLANCY the following comp.
liment with reference to his promin,
ence as q candidate for speaker at the
coming session:
Hon. M. j. CLANCY OF Wakonda has
again been nominated by the repub-
licans Of Clay county as state repre-
sentative, this being the third time
that he has been chosen to serve his
constituents In chat capacity. This
approval Of his etiicient service is un-
dOubtedly pleasing to him In a per-
sOs1Al sense, and he haS a host OF
friends all over the state who read of
this added recognition by his home
people with q sense Of satisfaction.
1t Is not unlikely that Nj. CLANCY
will be prominent for speaker OF the
house at the coming session. His
name was prominently mentioned in
that connection just before the or
aganixAtiOn of the session OF 1905, and
throughout the state he is considered

latOr who having become n Of the
GtrOng and conservative leaders II the

of their monarch left them little else
to do but to enter into rivalry with
one another in regard to the Splendor
Of their head coverings. The gay
cOnceit spread rapidly throughout the
Spanish dominionS, and even today
characteristic sugar-lOaf hats may be
found in Mexico for sale at the
astounding price of from five hundred
to a thousand dollars for a single hat.
When our soldiers invaded Cuba and
Porto Rico in 1898, the Spanish style
struck their fancy, and most OF those
who did not come back to the States
in hospital ships returned with their
sedate campaign hats transformed
into cOntraptiOnS with high pointed

Rev. Nunnledal Surprised.

Last Sunday the congregation at
Lands church, down In Norway town
ship, was unusually large, many
members being present from Grand
Valley and Trefoldigshed congrega-
tions, and Pastor Nummedal deliver
ed an eloquent sermon, inspired by
the presence of so many visitors.
After the morning service the peo-
Pile gathered at the parsonage and en-
joyed a picnic dinner, and during this
pleasant passtime President Tuve of
Augustana College proceeded to give
Pastor Nummedal a genuine surprise.
President Tuve has a way Of saying
things so nicely and so pleasantly
that everyone In that big picnic
party Thought he was going to pres
emit them all with a Golden Fleece,
but by the time he got around to the
point he was seeking he turned to
Rev. Nummedal and presented him
with a donation Of S4O9. 25, an offering
from the members Of the three con-
gregations there assembled. 1t was
a delightful moment to all as they
watched the recipient Of their esteem
look around in establishment and try
to get himself in shape to respond to
the generous 3urprise bestowed. He
did so, however, eloquently and feel
ingly, and then the picnic proceeded
to the end and the members Of the

named are noted for their broad and
liberal Christian spirit. Other church
organizations could follow their ex-
ample with profit and pleasure.

Cuba is Ours.

The trouble In Cuba which termi-
mated last Saturday with the resigna-
ton OF President Palma and the as
sumption OF temporary control by
Secretary Of War Taft who was sent
down there to bring the warning fac
tions together, brings the Cuban
question up under entirely new con-
ditions.
~ That President Roosevelt was and
il sincere in his efforts to keep that
unhappy island under home rule none
will question, but the factions are
wider apart today than when Secre-
tary Taft went there hoping to secure
concessions from the antagonistic
parties by which he could bring about
peace and a recognition Of the Palma
government.
Secretary Taft hopes to bring peace
BY q new election. This he may do
for q time, but one element or an
other will rebel against any govern
ment In power just as they did Pal
mas and h United States would
have to intervene again.
A great majority of the Cubans
want the American flag to float over
the island, and this majority includes
all foreign interests, as well Us the
educated and progressive elements.
Leading Cubans are firmly OF the
opinion that there can be no lasting
peace only under the American flag
and this seems to be the only reason
able and sensible solution of the
question. Those who have studied
the mixed blood governments Of CEN
tral America fully realize that the
day for home rule In Cuba has passed.
When the Cuban patriot Palma
couldn't hold the conflicting elements
together, no other Cuban need make
the attempt with the least hope of
success.
Cuba under the United States, or
as q state Of the Union, would pros
pei and develop and become one Of
the most productive islands in the
world, and the United States may as
we'll settle the question IS later.
The warning elements down there
are all anxious to come In under the
protecting arm of Uncle Sam but
they will never trust each other or
submit to a government by faction.
a great majority Of the population
have been born and raised under
revolutionary conditions and a revo-
luton to them e plumber and
robbery. Their patriotism is of a
partisan brand and means nothing so
far as love OF country goes.
Cuba must belong to the United
States; II not taken now 1t will be
when another revelation breaks out,
but this Is the time to save that
glorious island from farther revolu-
tiOn and plumber.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-10-05

The time Is now approaching when
the farmer who wishes to improve
his corn should make a careful selec-
tion of his seed. Probably the best
time to make the selection is from
the 1st to the 10th Of October, going
through his field carefully inspecting
the stalks on which desirable ears
grow. The character of the stalk,
that Is, it's size and shape and the de-
gree of maturity which 1T has main
tanned, are the important points.
The place occupied by the ear on the
stalk is not unimportant. 1t Is not
desirable to have an a too high up,
for in that case the wind is more
likely to blow it down, nor o low
down, for in that case it Is inconyen-
lent to husk. Select the ear from a
vigorous, strong, stalk, well out OF
the way of frost, with a well shaped
well matured ear. If you do this you
cannot go amiss. The largest a Is
not always the most desirable. Ears
that are late in maturing should be
rejected. Nor is a too early matur-
ing ear desirable. 1t takes time to
take a sack on your shoulder and fill
it with the right kind Of seed corn;
but it will pay any man who Is deslr-
Gus of increasing the yield and quail
ity of corn to make this careful selec-
tion.
The next important point is drying
out the corn when selected. There
are various methods. Some tie the
ears together and hang them from a
clOthesline or across the limb or a
tree. Others take ten or a dozen
ears, tying them with some binder
Irvine so that each ear hangs separate
and horizontal and hang them up by
the side of the barn where they are
In the sunshine, have free access to
the air, and are out Of the way OF
stock or fowls. The important thing
is to dry out the corn In the open air
as soon as possible. Don't put this
newly picked corn In a pile, nor any
place where there is no free circula-
tion Of air. Corn picked the first week
in October should be quite thoroughly
dried out before any severe freezing
occurs, and If there is any danger OF
freezing weather any time in October
it should be taken into the house.
Artificial heat may be needed to COM
plete the drying process, and can be
safely used after the corn Is we'll air
dried, but should not be used when
the corn is first brought in from the
field, rs II may start to grow, Corn
treated in this way "a stand a good
deal Of freezing weather during the
winter, and the farmer a safely
bank on it. Note the quality OF corn.
from a study both of the stalk and
the ear, and then maintain its ger
minating powers, and you will have
seed corn that you "a bank on next
May. We don't know any better way
the farmer can spend a few days the
first week in October than selecting
seed corn according to the above sug-
gestions. Always select three or four
times as many as you intend to plant.
