MENTAL MAKEUP OF MEN.

There are many things said by Sec
rotary Shaw which make the average
man tired For instance, in ring rid-
den Pennsylvania, where an indepen-
dent republican is running for COVER
nor on a Lincoln republican ticket and
leading the fight of honest citizens
against the Quay regime, with the
scandal of s14,OO0,OOO steal at the
new capitol building polluting the po-
litical atmosphere, Secretary Shaw
tells great audiences that:
in a republic like this government
mustio of necessity be by parties, rather
than by individuals. Let me emplla-
size the fact that it is of vastly more
importance to know along what lines
and In harmony with what principals
the applicants for public honors will
proceed, than to know the physical or
We must place POLITICAL party in
power as distinguished from putting
politicians In Office
Pennsylvania has been governed by
a party without care as to the 'physi-
cal and mental makeup" of the men
put in office, and state house which
should have been built for $4,000, 900
has actually cost the tax payers s14,-
100000. The people of Pennsylvania
ought by this time to be ready, to de-
mand few specific qualities in the
physical and mental makeups, of her
party candidates, and a man in Secre-
tary Shaw's position ought to have the
courage to urge them on to good gov
eminent.
In the main the principles of party
being paramount to individuals is all
right where the discussion is merely
as to the wisdom of policies, for no one
man, ever constitutes an administers
ton or Legislature, and it requires
the harmonious action Of many men to
put general policies into force, but
when the issue is one of honestly VS..
there are no considerations of national
party success which can even be
weighed against the Importance of
routing the gang in the state or local
government which has been sheltering
the thievery which has been done. The
state of Pennsylvania this year should
be the last place on earth in which to
talk about the good of the party de-
handing this or that, and Secretary
Shaw ought to have seen the situation
as it is. He might just as consistently
argue that it is more important to
know whether q man is a Methodist
than whether he is an honest man
when putting him in a position of

NEW Iowa INDUSTRY.
Buchanan County Farmers Grow
Pumpkin Seed for the Market.

| Independence Bulletin Journal.l
| An industry that had its start here
| about seven years ago and has been
| slowly but steadily increasing ever
| since. Is the growing of pumpkin seeds
for the market. ii was in the year OF
| the street carnival that Nj. l.. Webster
offered a cash prize for the person
bringing in the most pumpkin seeds
| to his seed house. r. Benson won the
prize by bringing in 100 pounds, and
it was then considered an enormous
quantity. Mr.. Webster, thru the chan
mel of his seed house, finds a market
for unlimited quantities of pumpkin
seed, and six years ago he began adj
vertising for the seeds Those who
tried the saving OF seeds found the in
dustry a profitable one and have not
only become annual contributors to
the market, but have interested their
friends and neighbors also in the in
dustry. The variety grown is the Con-
necticut Field, the only variety grown
in the north, and the same pumpkin
brightens up the corn fields from Maine
to the arid districts of the west. The
pumpkin Is planted with the corn and
requires no increase Of acreage for its
production, while 1t yields in seed from
SIS to Sc per acre The average price
paid is cents per pound, and the
market has reached at times as high
as cents. The feeding value of the
pumpkin is doubled by removing the
seeds, which possess the property of
drying up the mich cows. The work
of handling the seed is carried on by
the children Of the farm, who first take
the ripe pumpkin and pound 1t lightly
on the ground until the seeds are loose
in the core. The pumpkin is then
broken open and the seeds scooped out.
They are washed thoroughly and dried
and are then ready for the scales. Mr..
Webster yearly handles over 1000
pounds, and could easily find a market
for many times that quantity. One OF
the largest growers is A., j. Silka, of
Hazleton township, whose check
reaches close to the hundred dollar
mark each year. Others sell quantities
wagon load. One family of children
sold $50 worth Of seed last year. and
then presented their father with a fine
coonskin, coat. Another family sent
one of their number to the St. Louis
fair on the pumpkin seed money. Nu-'t
other stories of comforts and
luxuries provided by this industry are
told. While seeds are brought from
all parts of the country, the larger part
of those marketed here come from the
vicinity of Troy Mills.

The Iowa Popcorn Crop.


The popcorn market was feverish
last week. Most of the crop in this
vicinity had been picked and half a
wasting the field in an effort to secure
the bulk Of the crop. A large amount
of corn had been contracted for last
spring at 80 cents per hundredweight,
but in trying to corner the remaind-
er the buyers forced the price steadily
upward until it reached $1.S0 on FRI
day. Many thousand pounds We're
rushed in that day by those farmers
who had not cared to make a contract
in the spring, and they are now con-
graduating themselves on their fore
thought, while their neighbors who
sold their crop by contract are corr
respondingly gloomy. A few held off
for still higher prices but were dis
appointed, as Saturdays best price
was only $1.25. We understand that
one farmer has seven carloads which
he has been holding for couple of
years to get cent a pound.
A number of reasons are given for
the furry, The demand for popcorn
has increased enormously in the last
few wears on account of it's use in the
manufacture Of breakfast foods and in
pancake f1ours, and in .adulterating
other fiours, but the area planted in
this vicinity has also increased stead
lily. There was more popcorn grown
here this year than ever before. A
more plausible explanation OF the hlgR
prices is the theory that the Albert
Dickinson Company, Of Chicago, which
had four buyers here, is attempting
to corner the market and run the 9th
er firms out of the field. They nave
secured the enormous quantity of l3O
carloads. about 100000 pounds, this
season. 1t is certain that very few
ia rnoers will contract to sell their corn
next spring and there will be an enor-
nous crop The Dickinson compan!
will then be iri a position to force the
price down to 65 or 10 cents next fal
as they did three Or four years aiSo

BY applying an antiseptic dressing
