CRAWFORD HAS POOR CORN.

1t is humiliating for all of US and
especially for the farmers of the
county TO know that at the recent
corn show the first prize went to a
man IN Monona county. What is
much more serious however is the
opinion of the Ames expert that the
corn as u whole was the poorest he
had ever seen at corn exhibit.
There were about seventy farmers
exhibiting their corn. 1t is to be
presumed that they did not exhibit
unless they thought they had pretty
good corn and that they picked out
the best ears
Can it be possible that the farmers
of the county do not know good corn
when the see it? Is it a fact that
Crawford. the richest soiled, best
drained. surest cropped county in
Iowa does not raise good corn? We
do not believe the soil is to blame.
1t may be the fault of the corn ex-
perts. Perhaps in their zeal to build
up cult or science and to get big
pay for supposed wisdom they have
erected lot of artificial requirements
which have mighty little to do with
good corn. Although there is some
thing in this eternal desire to make
something out of nothing and to
dlfferentiate tWixt tweedle dee and
tweedle dunn. we do not believe thus
will account for all of it.
1t is a mighty mean thing even to
hint, but can it be possible that there
is something the matter with the
farmers of Crawford Can it be
possible that they are getting behind
in the race. that they are not scien-
tifc farmers? That the soil is so
rich that they are content without
putting the best brains into the work 2
Is it possible that the county with

is beating Crawford county,
This is matter worth thinking
about?
Over in Harrison county there is a
farmer named Jones. He believes
in the so-called intensive farming.
He takes special courses at Ames.
Buys the latest machinery, and not
only reads farm papers but follows
their advise. He started poor man
few years ago. Since then he has
paid for farm at $50. an acre. built
himself beautiful house and is al
most entirely out Of debt. He tests
his seed corn. He is not above 'put.
tering around with lot of boxes
and things before planting time. He
is getting from 80 to 100 bushels
of corn to the acre and it is not cost
ing him twenty-five cents an acre
more than it is costing his neighbor

The President has again declared
that he will not accept a re-nomina-
ton. According to the Register and
Leader Congressman Conner comes
forward with the suggestion that Iowa
should unite in the support of Gov.
Cummins for President. The Govern
or however seems inclined to put the
suggestion aside and has announced
himself as candidate for the Senate.
Judge Corners proposal has much
merit. and we believe Gov. Cummins
would receive magnificent endorse
ment in Iowa as candidate for Presi-
dent.

THE SHOPPERS CHRISTMAS

- ~
The shoppers are to have their inn
ings in the Christmas trade of the year
more than ever before. The merchants
ordered their goods while the food
tide of prosperity was on. Every
thing pointed to a phenomenal Christ
mas trade and they bought according
ly. In October came the Wall Street
panic and the currency stringency. 1t
was too late for goods to be counter
manded. The result is that our stores
are loaded to the brim with "bumper''
holiday stock to dispose of in the face
of temporary financial affiiction.
In the meantime the farmers. viii e
they have suffered some from the re-
action in prices are still in good trim.
especially in this county where the
crops never fail. The result is that
the merchants are ready to sell at the
closest prices ever known for the Hol-
idays. and have tremendous stock to
select. while the farmers have plenty
of money and gain to supply all their
needs and desires.
Denison has the largest Christmas
stocks on hand it has ever known.
There are half dozen stores carrying
large lines of Holiday goods. In spe-
cial lines such as clothing and furni-
ture. great bargains are offered.
The fact is that the situation is en-
tirely in the hand of the buyers and
thar within limits. of course. they can
set their own price.

BoY1sH DESIRE FOR WORK.
Often n Sign of Arrested Development
Instead of Strength.

Parents often think that their son is
especially promising because he wants
to get to work young, wants to leave
school and be earning. This is never
a sign of strength. says the Journal of
Education, but always of weakness.

There is not one probability in fifty
that a boy who desires to leave school
at the sixth grade and is allowed to do
so will ever amount to anything. 1t is
not the fact that he does not have as
much education as the other boys but
that he does not have their purpose
to get ready for the doing of things
Teachers often greatly err in dealing
with such boys and their parents by
trying to show how important 1t is that
they should know what they will learn

ably the most important engineering con-

The pompous Britisher was introduced
to Wong and from the first patronized

tive way. Wong openly resented the
Britisher's attitude. but did nothing in
retaliation until one dsv in the smoking
room just after Wong had told a very
good story. The silence that followed
