Corn at $3.50 per Bushel.

A single ear of Reid Yellow Dent corn,
weighing nineteen ounces, sold recently
at the Iowa State college for the
phenomenal price of $50, which is at
the rate of $3.50 per bushel. Each
kernel is worth over ID cents. Dan L..
Pascal, of Dewitt, member of the
Iowa Corn Growers association, who
grew this remarkable ear, was it's
purchaser at the sale, which has
eclipsed all previous prices for corn
and thus establishes world s record.
The only other sensational bargain
was over the ten ears that won the
Whiting trophy. This collection was
grown by Bennett Bros. of Ames, and
was rebought by them for S31.
The single ear that ranked second to
the Pascal ear was of the Silver Mine
variety, grown by Harry Hilton, of
Malvern, who came into its ownership
again by purchase during the auction.
This ear will be given to the Iowa State
college after the Red Oak institute is
over.
The grand champion single ear last
year brought only Sl1 and was grown
by II. J. Ross, of Farragut, la. The
second grand championship last year
was won by Fred Hethershaw, of Des
Moines, and sold for 81. The grand
championship ten ears of last year were
those belonging to O. j. Easton, OF
Whitney, and sold for $50, which at
that time was the highest price ever
paid for that amount of seed corn.

Microscopic Writing.

Tbackeray could write the Lords
Prayer on a sixpence, which is the
size of dime, but it is now possible
to write the prayer on surface SO
small that one grain of sand would
hide it completely. Microscopists sell
copies of the Lords Prayer written in
circle only the five-hundredth part
of an inch in diameter. To read the
prayer it is necessary. to use a lens
magnifying 500 times Writing so in
credibly small is accomplished by
means of levers six feet long. These
levers are SO adjusted that the motion
is gradually lessened as it travels
along them till, when 1t reaches the
delicate end, armed with minute dia-
mond pen that rests on glass surface,
it causes the pen to register on the
glass writing SO small as to be invisi.

Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with body full of blood
that cannot do it's duty to every part
because of its impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy we know of SO good as that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills. Each
pill contains one grain of the solid ex-
tract of sarsaparilla blended with two
grains of combination of pure and
mild vegetable products, making it a
blood purifier unexcelled in character.
One or two taken every night for
awhile will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over century and are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain
or sugar-coated.

NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
Healing Medication that is Breath.
ed, GiVinu Quick Relief.

The fact that many people right in
Leon cough and hawk and shuttle for
days and weeks after they have been
threatening a cold with the usual
stomach dosing, shows how valueless
are the ordinary cough and cold cures.
The right way to cure cold in the
head, or cough and irritation in the
bronchial tubes, is by breathing
Hyomei's indicated air from the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit. Take a few breaths in this way,
and immediate relief will be noted.
The medication goes right to the spot
where the disease germs are and rem
ders them harmless.
/. p. Van Werden gives an absolute
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
he sells that if it does not give salts
faction the money will be refunded.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
S1.00, while extra bottles of Hyomei, if
needed, can be obtained for only SOC.

reason was unable to do so by the usual
