GAVE PROMISE TO RETIRE
Railroad Commission of Mississippi Is Busy With Many Problems and One Is Proposal of Frisco
 To Take Off Trains.

Jackson, Miss, March 24.-(special.)- )-- There is every indication that Congress- man Frank McLain of the Sixth district is going to have all he can do to retain the seat he has held the past three or four terms. Opposition in the person of Dr. Will H. Woods of Natehez developed last Saturday, and now come announce .ments that Thomas Shelton of Brook haven and Jesse Webb of Pike county arc in the race. Two or three efforts have been made to wfest this office from MT McLain, but to no purpose. However, the opposition this time is the strongest he has ever had, and he will have the fight of his life. It is urged against the present incumbent that he promised during the last campaign two years ago that if elected he would retire at the end of that term, but he has not and for very good reasons-he has married him a wife since the last election and the salary of con- gressmen has been raised from 5000 to s750O.

Corn on the Cob.

From the New York World.
David Benson holds the present roast
ing-ear record with fifty denuded corn
cobs at one sitting. Weather like this
it is more suitable to read of a green
corn contest than of a beefsteak dinner
Corn is the great North American yege-
table, and there should be great deal
more of It eaten. It is cheap. whole
some, nourishing. toothsome. and, eaten
from the cob, it encourages dexterity
and penalties clumsinesS. Corn was
here long before Christopher Columbus.
1t is found In the mound builders
homes, In the Pueblo rock houses in the
Aztec kitchens. To the Indians It al.
ways was the staple vegetable. Green.
roasted. parched or dried, It furnished
the main food.
In the old American cooking, which
far surpassed anything in imitation of
Paris or Berlin restaurants, corn stood
first. For breakfast, corn cakes or fritz
ters: for dinner, corn bread for supper,
corn biscuit or mush, fried or broiled
for dessert corn pudding-nothing can
beat them IL made by the hand of low
ing experience.
To cook corn properly the cook must
have been born in the United States.
For white corn q black cook and for
green corn a white cook produces the
best tasting effects.
AS for roasting ears, which in fact
are boiled and not roasted, holders and
like appliances should be forbidden. No
one needs them who learned to eat corn
when a boy or girl. AS we'll eat the old
style half-moon apple pie with a fork.

Having successfully accomplished the
mission which caused his hurried return
to this country from Mexico several weeks
ago, at the time Of the revolutionistS' &C
tivity on the Texas border, Senior Don
Enrique Creel, the Mexican ambassador,
will leave next Friday for Chihuahua.
Through the prompt action Of the United
States government in sending troops to
patrol the border quiet has been COM
pletely restored and Mexico is no longer
threatened by outlaws who make this
country their haven of refuge.
Senior Creel was elected governor Of the
state of Chihuahua while serving as am
bassador TO this country, and was per-
mitted to hold both offices, although re-
siding in Washington. 1t was while on
his way to Chihuahua after his election
that the outbreak occurred, and he was
compelled to hasten back to Washington
to look after the interests of his country.
Il am highly pleased with the result of
my mission" said Senior Creel today. Il
am very we'll satisfied with the prompt
action of the United States in sending
troops to the border to assist my coun-
try in restoring and preserving order, and
am confident that there will be no recur-
renee of the trouble
Senior Creel said he probably would re-
turn to Washington late in the fall.

OPPORTUNITY FOR FARMER
FERTILIZER TO BE HAD FOR A
SONG, OR FOR LESS.
For Sale-Fertilizer. Apply Street
Cleaning Department, Dis
trict Of Columbia.

If nobody will buy it, the District gov
eminent has fertilizer to give away.
Please. Mr.. Farmer. take it away. Pay
for it. If you will, and at your own price.
But take it away.
Tons of material. useful for fructifyins
the soil. are collected by the street cleaning
department each day. 1t is Of real value
to persons agriculturally inclined, but
every effort to sell the collections has been
barren of financial success. and conse-
quently the department is glad to give it
away.
There is an act Of Congress authorizins
the District to sell it's street sweepings
On several occasions bids have been in
vited, but none has ever been received.
1t is estimated that on an average OF
10000 tons Of sweepings of the fertilizer
variety is collected each year from the
thoroughfares of the District by the street
cleaning department. If sold at 81 ton
considered reasonable price-the fer
tilizer would obviously yield the District
$4,000 annually.
Aside from these collections on an aver
age of $1,000 tons of sweepings are col
lected from stables by private concerns.
which if collected by the District and sold
al the 81 rate would increase the annual
revenue from this source to $35,OOO year
According to the present arrangement
the street sweepers collect the sWeepings
from the street and transfer them to two
horse wagons, which carry the load to
various dumps rented by the District for
the express purpose of receiving manure.
Waste, dirt and filth are carried to other
dumps or are otherwise disposed Of.
For several years private individual
contracted with the District to haul as
much of this manure away as possible
with a two-horse wagon without pay.
Last year he asked the Commissioners to
relieve him from his contract. There was
nothing in it to make it worth while. is
the explanation he is said to have given.
Maj. Newton Ball, assistant superin-
tendent of street cleaning. native of
Delaware. who owns a large fruit and
truck farm in that state. says If the farm
ers within close proximity of Washington
only had enterprise enough to come to
Washington and collect the manure they
would derive much financial benefit.
Manure is a valuable article" he said,
land every large city should derive some
revenue from its street sweepings."
