The farmers of Iowa have discovered
a new industry-the growing of pump
kins for the seed-says the New York
World. Those who first tried the ex
pertinent found at once the industry a
profitable one The pumpkin is plant
ed with the corn and requires no in
crease of acreage for its production,
while it yields in seed from So to SO
per acre. The average price paid is
5 cents per pound. and the market has
reached at times as high as 8 cents.
The work of handling the seed Is car
ried on by the children of the farm.
who first take the ripe pumpkin and
pound it lightly on the ground until the
seeds are loose in the core. The pump
kin is then broken open and the seeds
scooped out, and they are then washed
thoroughly and dried and are ready for
the scales. One dealer at lndepend-
ence Ia, annually handles 1000 pounds
Of pumpkin seeds and urges the farm
ers in his region to raise more. In
some places the children get enough
money to pay all their school and col
lege expenses.

There was one incident of the Gil
lctte murder trial 50 unusual and
alarming that the period of lull in in

probability is a fitting time TO recall
its full Significance. In substance, Il
press story sent out from the scene of
the trial stated that the national guard
had orders To be in readiness for Il

oner In case verdict OF acquittal
should be rendered The story may
have been an invention, but it fitted in
with statements preceding 1t to the
effect that the popular temper was in
tensely excited and would be difficult
of control should the jury fail to con-
Wet.
1t seems extremely unlikely that any
executive or any militia officer would
announce the fact, even If it existed,
that the soldiery was under orders for
an emergency Of that kind. 1t Is as
sumed to be ready at all times to up
hold the law. That Is sufficient
Threats, whether actual or implied. in
cite the mob spirit No jury ought to
be affected by hints from the outside,
and, on the other hand, the public
should be as firm and just rs 1t expects
the jury to be- The twelve men are

But the fall would be as swift and
equally as sad If the twelve men or any
man among them should be moved a
hair by any showing whatever outside
of the evidence brought before the
court.

only about one hundred motors and
motor cars. In 1905 there were nearly
thirty thousand miles of electric track
in the United States alone
This change was not accomplished
without OppoStoE, diScouragcment
and financial difficulties. Mr.. Sprague
him self. who was so potent factor in
worKing this change. has told the story
of his first important contract. In the
spring of 1887. the Union Passenger
Railway company of Richmond Va,
engaged him to build an electric rail-
way. The first car was run out one
night while the skeptical people slept,
to make sure it could climb the hills.
1t started out in blaze Of glory and
ANONYMOUSLY was towed back again
hv four big mules. But Sprague per-
sisted until on Feb. ., 1SSS, in 4
drizzling rain, the road opened for
business.
From that time forward the future
of electric railroading was assured and
events moved rapidly. City AFTER city
adopted the new motive power; horse
cars became things of the past; in
tcrlrhan roads began to grdiron the
country everywhere. and in each in
stance a commercial success was
scored. Electric interurban lines have

success. The first great step WAS in
1850. when an italian named Pacinot-
ii invented a continuous current dy-
namo. Three years later the first
practical commercial machine for con
tinuous current operation was made
by Gramme.
Still the modern electric car was inr-
possibie. The "reversibility Of func-
tiou" had vet to be discovered, invol-
wing electrical transmission of energy
through two machines, one driven by
tower and generating electricity; the
pther reversing the operation, receiv-
