NEWSPAPER CONSOLIDATION

The time was when most anybody
could start a newspaper. A Wash
ington Hand press, few fonts OF
second hand type and a railway pass
were considered u fun outlay TO en-
bark in the business of dishing up
news and wisdom for the common
people. The result was great var
iety of papers. They came and went
about as often as the seasons. But
that time has gone. Hand presses are
much too slow for the progressive
present, and railroad passes have
been engulfed in the wave OF reform
sweeping over the land. The tendency
now is toward consolidation so as To
lessen the number and increase the
merit as well as the profit of the
papers. Our attention has been called
to this by the union of the Ringold
County Record and the Mt. Ayr News,
the result being Semi-Weekly paper
called the Mount Ayr Record News.
j. Fl. Tedford and Sam Spurrier are
the publishers, the former being the
editor and the latter the business
manager. Though his age is three
score and ten Mr.. Tedford is one of
the best editorial writer's ia the state.
The fraternity wish the combination
and the new firm much success.

A LETTER FROM JAPAN

A letter just received by the EDITORS
family from a missionary friend at
Tokyo, Japan, was just one month on
the way. The writer went to that coun-
try from Des Moines, fifteen years
ago, and has done valiant service for
the cause she represents. We were es-
pecially interested in what she says
about the Chinese coming to Japan in
order to take advantage of their
schools. There are manyChinese in
Tokyo now, more than fifteen thous-
and. They are here for educational
purposes in every line. Japan is their
America now. Those who come belong
10 the higher classes, have plenty OF
money and are credit to their coun-
try in every way. Some bring their
families, put their children in the Jap
anese schools and stay several years.
The lady who lives near me has three
children and her husband in school.
They all study Japanese and Eng fish.
teach them English. They are rela-
tives of the LII Hung Chang family
and are very nice people. There are
missionaries here from China working
among them and they say the work is
very promising, We cannot work
among them except through the Eng
lish as we do not speak their language. T"
Miss Wirick was the first foreign
woman admitted to the Japanese hos
pitfalls during the war with Russia and
in speaking of that work she says:
There are still some poor, wounded,
suffering soldiers in the hospitals, and
] visit two or three. The most of them
can hardly hope to get well but they
may be able to leave the hospital.
My correspondence is large and hear
from many after they go home, and
all over the Empire they call me Bles-
sed Mother and Older Sister"
Though the letter was dated Janu-
airy sixteen she says; The plum
blossoms are making their appear
ance and next month every tree will
be covered with fragrant blossoms.

NEBRASKA RAIL WAYS.

The two cent rate on the railroads
in Nebraska took effect on the 7th of
March The result is that all reduced
rates, for clergymen, railroad EN-
ployes, inmates of soldiers and
sailors homes, charitable rates, or
any other form of O reduced rate
order, whether for state or interstate
journey, in any portion of Nebraska,
have been Cancelled. All convention
rates. homeseekers excursion rates,
party rates, either one way or round
trip, applying locally in Nebraska,
have been cancelled, as was antici-
pated. Heretofore the roads have
made special rates Of less than two
cents mile to about four hundred
different conventions in the state in
year; but now that the legislature has
made two cents the maximum rate,
the roads are making it the minimum
rate and cutting out all local excur-
sion rates. Iowa will probably have
the same experience when the new law
takes effect July the Fourth.

On Thursday evening March 81,
Mr.. Skovgaard the Danish violinist
and his Concert Company will give
an entertainment at the Presbyterian
church under the auspices of the Lad
les Aid Society. The Wisconsin
Journal says that ga gathering which
assumed the character of a recital by
reason of the musical talent repre-
sented in the guests of honor, was
that which Governor and Mrs. David
son entertained at the executive resi-
dence. The greater part of the eve-
ming was given over to a most de-
lightful and varied program to which
Skovgaard, Miss Eleanor Olsen and
Miss Louise Davidson, the guests OF
honor, each gave two numbers.
Mr.. Skovgaard whose genius is un-

TESTING THE
SEED CORN
SHOULD Be DONE WITHOUT DELAY
Farmers Should Find Out How Their
Seed is by Making Early Test in
Warm Boxes

A prominent Guthrie farmer sue-
gests the testing of seed corn Ut this
time and gives the following valuable
hints for SO doing
From a practical standpoint there Is
but one way to test the seed corn and
that Is To test at least six kernels from
each ear by numbering the ears and
using the terminating boxwlth cloth
marked into squares and the squares
numbered 70 correspond with the num-
Der of the ears Probably the most
common way in use now is TO take one
or two kernels from few ears and TO
test them. In u way this will give a
per cent that will grow, but by this
method there is no way of telling the
ears that the kernels came from that
do not grow, and they must be plant
ed with the rest.
The purpose of making this test, of
taking six kernels from each, is not
only TO discard the oars that fail to ger
inmate but the ears that terminate
weak as well. The kernel that fails to
sprout does no further damage than to
reduce the stand, but weak kernel
will produce u weak, sickly stalk which
will take the moisture, fertility and
sunlight from the good stalks and pro-
duce only IL worthless nubbin or be
entirely barren; and the damage they
do does not end here. These barren
stalks produce a tasSel which will shed
millions OF grains of pollen and ferti-
lie the good ears around 1t, thereby
transmitting its worthlessness to the
seed for another year.
DO not make the mistake OF taking
this corn from the test box too soon.
Many, in testing seed corn will, as
quick as the roots start, conclude the
seeds will grow all right. The roots
start several days before the stalk, or
stem, sprouts show and many times
the roots start all right but the stalk
will not sprout. Leave the seed in the
test box until the sprouts are one-half
to an inch long. BY having kernels
from different ears in this test box side
by side good comparison can be
made and the weaker kernels will show
plainly besideth stronger and more
vigorous brothers and sisters. After
discarding all these weak and worth
less ears we can rest assured that we
have seed that is strong and vigorous
and seed that will be doing something
next summer. This testing should be
done now or before spring work com
mences so there can he no excuse Of
not having time,

a million more acres Of the famous
Rosebud Indian Reservation in Trip
county, South Dakata, is to be
thrown open to entry and settlement
under the provisions of the general

best land the government has TO offer

portunity to secure homestead. The
land will be disposed of by a drawing
the same as two years ago and all
that is filed upon AT any time within
the first three months will cost the

Some Points to Think About befsre
March Meeting.

The state will give each town
any sum from $Ioo to $500 for per-
manent highway repairs, provided
the town will raise an equal amount
for the purpose.
The slim raised by the town must
be in addition to the aftiount re-
CURED by law to be raised, and the
SUM given by the state Is in addi-
ton to the Usual amount drawn by
each town from the state treasury.
!. Let's not throw away any gifts.
Shall this town continue to
borrow the U. S. surplus fund and
Iay S per cent. interest for it, or re-
turn it to the trustee to be paid to
the state treasurer The new law
aiiires cue orsthe }othcr proceed
ing.
If we can borrow money from
other sources for less than per
cent, it would seem like good fin
ancing to return the u. S. fund.
; Do we want more manufacture
ing i'll the town Nearly everyone
answers, Eyes" How are we 60
ing to get it? Certainly not by
stabbing all enterprise at its birth.
Not by giving positive assurance
that we shall saddle it with taxes
before it is fairly on its feet. That
has been the policy here for years,
with the result that manufacturers
who are looking about for a locality
to start a business pass this town
by, and locate III towns that seem
to want them.
We have tried the one method
several years; now why not try the
other for short time, by voting to
exempt from taxation for a term of
years permanent manufacturing
a The license question must be
voted upon. A laundering mo"
is good way to doctor that annu-
ally-appearing bother.
S Other questions that are
springing up are: Whether or not
it would be better to rotate the Sc
lectmen, even though the same men
are elected; whether or not the
roads where worked by the district
system show great improvement,
and if they do whether more of the
~epairing can be done on that plan
this year; and what can we do 10
improve our schools
There is food for much thought
in the above issues.
