w hat Is The Condition of
Your Corn?

The time Is at hand when each
farmer should look we'll to the
condition of his seed corn before
the rush of spring begins. A few
hours spent now in testing the
termination of individual seed
ears may mean the prevention of
the loss of many dollars and much
time. Testing a sample of bulk
seed after shelling and mixing is
of little value, for one is then
powerless to improve the quality
of his seed by the rejection the
ears of low termination. He simp-
ly has to discard all or none, and
generally does the latter. By
testing each in such way that
one knows exactly how each ear
behaves, the worthless ears can be
rejected and the quality of the
seed greatly improved. While the
termination test is not substi.
tute for the ear-row corn test,
since ears which show equally
good termination frequently vary
widely in their ability to yield,
yet it is of great value in that it
will weed out ears more or less in
jured as result either of too late
gathering of seed, or of lack of
proper care in drying out, or both,
and this will pay any corn grower
many times over for the labor in
volved.
The Experiment Station does
not believe in doing for the farmer
what he can do for himself as we'll,
or perhaps better, and hence it
does not contemplate making an
individual ear termination test
for him, but will be glad to send
full instructions for making the
termination box and test, to such
as apply.
In addition to this, the Station
would like to study, both in the
termination box and in the field,
as many samples az possible of
the seed corn that is to be planted
in Ohio this spring. To all who
care to assist in this matter full
instructions for samphng and ship
ping seed samples will be sent.

George Paid Back the Money; Roosevelt
Should Resign.

George w. Perkins, former vice president of the
New York Life Insurance company and now mem
ber of the firm of j. r. Morgan & Co, has sent to
the New York Life his personal check for $54 10
to reimburse the company for the contribution made
by it to the Republican national committee in the
campaign of 1904. The restitution only partial
remedy. The greater wrong lay in the prostitution
of the electorate of the nation made possible by the
Doodle fund wrung from the corporations by one
George B. Cortelyou, then national chairman and
secretary of the treasury. The votes bought by
that and other corporation contributions stand as
purchased and the in the White House,
posing the high and only exemplar of purity and
honesty in politics, is the beneficiary.

Senator Tillman Gave Them Some Hot
Shots.

Speaking on the Smoot resolution in the senate
Mr.. Tillman said: 'We have all heard that in the
last presidential election understanding was
reached by those who had charge of the campaign
that if the Mormon went certain way certain
colleague of ours would be cared for. And we have
heard talked too that the chief executive, who
the beneficiary of that votethough he did not need
it-has exerted himself to the utmost to carry out
that agreement, and is using his influence to stave
off vote and protect in every way he could the SEN

Only $24.OO Per Day.

Congressman and senators now receiving pay
at the rate of 1924 day for each working day of the
year. an of just fifty per cent. The increase
of salary voted to themselves on the ground that
the cost of living has advanced in proportion 1t is
unfortunate that the toilers, business and pro-
fessional men, who feel the increased cost of living
lust as keenly as do senators and congressman, are
unable to add to their annual incomes by the simple
process of voting it out of the public treasury. I'm
able to do this they console themselves with the
happy thought that they are paying the bills of those
enjoying the salary grab,

BREAKING INTO
HIGH SOCIETY.
Millionaires Wives Seek
to Lead.

Washington, March Tn the
social season just closed the mil
lionaire element which has been
seeking for years to rule capital
society again went down to defeat,
and Mrs Roosevelt may boast of
another triumph, if she cares to
brag.
The wife of the President still
rules. She has all winter long re-
fused to recognize any claims of
self-made leaders of "unofflcial"
society.
The people who have milliors
and little more have invariably
been excluded from her smaller
dinner parties. She has even
shown great reluctance to include
them in her levees.
The ladies of the Cabinet have
followed her lead, and 80 have
most of the other shining lights in
ofiicialdom. Therefore, the ve-
neerings are still in the second
rank.
There are society folk in Wash
ington who believe Mrs. Herbert
Wadsworth, who was the rich
Mrs. Blow, of st. Louis would
have shone as leader. Sha has
fine mansion, great wealth and
intellectually, but somehow she
does not lead.
Mrs. Mary Scott Townsend, one
of the heirs of the multimillionaire
Congressman Scott, of Erie, as
pired, but she still aspires.
Mrs. Perry Belmont, of New
York, tried very hard for two
years. She came nearer than the
others, and she won't succumb to
this winters failure. Her rich
husband is building a palace in
Washington in the Louis Seize
style, that will be as magnificent
$1,000, 900 can make it, and with
this Mrs. Belmont will renew the
attack. They-the butterflies
are already beginning to speculate
on her house warming, which may
not occur until year from next
fall.

[PomerOy Dem oerat.I

Gen. G. IL. Grosvenor, the old
hoaryheaded statesman of Athens,
who retired to private life at ~
O'Clock lnoon) Monday, after a
distinguishedpublie career of 90
years, did not neglect to heap few
burning Goals upon the heads of
those who had eneompassed his
overthrow, in the closing hours of
his official life. The Washington
dispatches in the Cincinnati En-
quirer tell how he did it, as fol-
lows:

iust as well have been, and would
have been for Pomeroy had the
old General been returned for only
another term in Congress What
had we ought to do to the pin
headed politicians vino knocked
the props from under the vener-
able statesman's great ambition to
be the oldest congressman in his
tory, and thus deprived us of the
boon Of great public buildingp
There is no possibility that Con-
gressman Douglas can secure an
appropriation for the purpose. 1t
is doubtful If another man in Con-
gress could have secured such a
prize for town such as Athens,
and it was only'because of the long
and distinguished service of Gen.
Grosvenor that Ire was permitted
to have whatever he asked for.
Athens is by far the smallest city
that ever secured public build
ing.
1t must have been a soul-stirring
spectacle when the old hoary-
headed patriot arose in his seat
and made known to his congress-
ional comrades what his aims and
ambitions had been for the better
ment of his ungrateful consistency /.
1t had about the same effect on
the common people of the district
as it did the speech of Mark An
thony, when standing over the
murdered body of Ceasar, he re-
counted the provisions of the dead
statesman's will, making the COM
mon people the beneticiarles. And
the Hon. AL. cannot hope to stand
better in the estimation Of the rab-
BILE than did Brutus Of old.
o, General Grosvenor, thou art
mighty yet!

THE, BEST PLAN is TO
PATRON|zE HOME MERCHANTS
Millions OF Dollars go to Mail Order Houses
at Higher Prices Than Paid at Home.

The need of the country, desper-
ate need upon which the welfare
of the individual depends, is for
the upbuilding and continued pro-
gress of the smaller communities,
so that the wealth of the country
may be disturbed over the entire
country and not controlled in large
amounts in comparative few cen
ters of population.
Therefore, the man who sends
away from this community money
which he might have spent at
home and permitted fair profit
to the home merchant to be re-
tanned there for the benefit of the
community, is injuring his com
munity, and thereby the prospects
for his own future prosperity.
In large number Of instances
he is doing more than this. I'm
Willingly, or unthinking, perhaps,
he is violating his own principals
of right and justice, for, at the
expense Of his own community, he
is needlessly contributing profits
to capitalistic combinations which
he continuously cries out are men
acing the country.
The mail order giants direct
their energies particularly toward
the people of the smaller towns
and the agricultural districts. In
hundreds of thousands of the
homes of these the catalogue of
the mail order house is as regular
ly received as the home paper. :.
The man on the farm last year
sent very large portion of eighty
millions of dollars to two of these
institutions, in one community,
alone.
In all sincerity we ask: Ad-
mitting, purely for the sake of the
argument, that the farmer or the
resident of the small community
can save few dollars on some of
his purchases, or even that he
could do 80 on all of them, can he
afford to continue to impoverish
his own community, upon which
his>own prosperity, the value of
his land dependsp
If he asks himself this question
and consider it soberly and fairly
in all of its phases, including the
many which cannot be touched up
on within the limits of single
article, we think his answer must
be that he cannot.
The wonderful productivity of
this country has been sufficient to
overcome the various adverse
economic influences which have
existed during the period of yea RS
in which the mail order business
has accomplished its greatest
growth. Everyone has been "get-
ting along pretty WELL" While

committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, had drawn report and
had it signed by the committee in
formally and before | 1 80 O'Clock
the bill was passed by the senate
and became law, lacking only
the signature of the President,

General is feeling exceedingly hap
py about it and speaking of 1t

1T was not my intention to push
the creation of a public building
at Athens during my present term.
With the expectation of another
term in Congress l had intended
to push a building for Pomeroy
at this term and then finish my
career with building for Athens,
but as | am TO retire l finally con
cluded that Athens being the
larger town and being my home,
it would be easier for me to ac-
eomplish the purpose at Athens
than at Pomeroy. The bill could
not have been passed for any other
town than the one in which | live"

Spring is here, Spring is herel
The birds are singing everywhere,
The buds are bursting on the vine,
The boy is zone with his hook and line,
The sap in the trees has begun to
climb,
And it wont be long till Summer time
Spring is here, Spring is herel
The long hot days are drawing near,
All the earth is full of joy
And life's a dream for the barefoot boy
The old folks think of Childhood days,
And wish that youth could last always.
Springis here, Spring is here!
The days are bright and warm and
clear,
At night we hear upon the hill
The sweet old song of the whip-poor-
will.
The moon shines bright in a cloudless
And the warm winds murmur a mourn
full sigh.
Spring is here, Spring is here!
Allthe world is full of cheer.
It wont be long till sparkling showers
Will come and freshen all the flowers,
And Joy will reign in every cline,
Oh!it won't be long till Summertime.

An Adventure with a Lion

By Lawrence Way. Aged II Years, Wahoo,
Neb. Red.
Once some boys were out camping in the
woods. The first night when they were
eating supper, they heard a loud roar.
They were afraid to go out and they hid
under the bed for fear the lion might
come in the tent. At last the roar went
away and everything was still again and
they crawled out and finished they supper.
and never went to bed that night for fear
they might be attacked by some lions
In the morning they went on a hunting
trip. When they had gone about half a
mile they heard a rustlng of leaves be-
hind them. They looked back and saw
lion coming toward them. All but one boy,
who climbed tree near by raised their
rifles and pointed them at the lion. After
all the rest had fired and missed the lion
It started after them and the boy fred
down and hit 1t on the head and Il fell
over dead; then he came down out of the
tree and they carried the lion TO the tent
After dinner they went home and the boys
told their folks OF the adventure and after
that they gave the boy a lot OF money for
saving their boys lives.

Aliens Hobby Horse

By Marguerite Porter, Aged II Years,
Plattsmouth, Neb. Red.
Not very many years ago there lived in
the west two little children, named Allen
and Helen. The woods were near their
house. and their mother had often told
them not to venture near it, for the woods
were always full Of wild animals. Aliens
father had once told him that some day
he expected to buy him a hobbyhorse, but
Allen soon got tired cf waiting. so one day
he thought he would go into the woods to
see II he could find ona AS a hobbyhorse
is made of wood he felt sure he could find
one in the woods, and calling Helen they
started off together.
They had not gone far when they saw
a little bear. Allen said 20, Helen! There
is our hobbyhorse at last" and taking
Helen by the hand they ran towards the
bear.
Allen said: "Now Helen, you get on it's
back and l will hold 1t for you"
But the bears back was so smooth and
shiny Helen couldn't stay en-. She said
"Oh, no, Allen. You get on" SO Allen
got on the bears back and thought he
would have fine ride but just then a loud
scream from his mother frightened the
bear and it ran back into the woods.
Allen got an ugly bump, and from this
day he has never ventured near the woods
again.
