A MURDEROUS WEAPON.

The explosive harpoon, which is the

made chiefly OF malleable iron and adj
mirably designed for the Staying of the

feature next to the bomb head, which
is operated by time fuse and explodes
in the vitals of the whale, is the anchor

J. S. Helms, State Commits
sioner to National Corn
Show, Talks.
WORKING FOR THE SHOW.
HOPES TO AROUSE FARMERS OF
WAYNE COUNTY TO SUCH AN
EXTENT THEY WILL SUBMIT
SAMPLES OF GRAIN.

]. S. Helms, who has been appointed
by Governor Hanly as a commissioner
to the national corn show, which will
be held at Omaha, Neb., December
o, is endeavoring to arouse interest
among the farmers of the vicinity in
the subject of better corn and live
stock. He will cooperate with the
committee named to promote a cOun-
~ corn school, which will be held at
Centerville in November. He will Sc
lect the prize winning ears of corn for
exhibition at Omaha.
In speaking of the necessity for
farmers to endeaVOr to improve every
thing of interest to them. such as
crops and live stock, Mr. Helms said:
why not raise better corn" Every
farmer and most people who are not
farmers realize the great work that
has been done in improving live
stock. They can see the vast differ
ence between the long shanked Texas
steer and the blOcky short horn. The
great live stock shows have had a
great influence to educate the stock
man to the value of improving his
live stock
The scientific improvement of
grain is something more recent and
much progress has been made, but
the work has hardly more than begun.
The difference between n scrub ear
Of corn and the improved type is
quite. as marked as between the long
horned steer and the prize winning
shorthorn. The improvement of hogs
and cattle means more and better
meat at the same cost for feed and
more profit for the farmer. The i'm
provement of cereals means more and
better grain at the same cost Of
planting. cutting and harvesting. and
more profit for the farmer If a
farmer can increase his gain So per
acre on a field Of grain he can afford
to take pains in selecting the seed
and filling. five bushel per acre in
crease in corn in Indiana would mean
thousands of dollars to the farmers
The way to bring this about is by
means of corn shows

Women write with color and spirit;
an unexpected number of them are

DISCUSSING DOUGLAS
PosToFFIcE SITE

W. S. Dixon, of the firm of Won
Arnim and Dixon, was out yesterday
interviewing those who own proper
ty in the vicinity of the present post
office location and soliciting subscrip-
ton to a fund which will be used to
pay monthly rent to the Interna-
tional Land and Improvement com
pany for the present postoffice build
ing, or that portion occupied by the
postofice and the grocery store and
butcher shop adjoining. The company
has agreed to accept 1925 per month
for this building and to raise money
is the purpose of Mr. Dixon's effort.
The company is requiring that the
agreements to pay the monthly
amounts subscribed shall be secured
by a mortgage on real estate. The
lease is to be for ten years and the
monthly subscriptions are for that
time 1t is understood that the
amount will be raised and the govern
ment will be asked to leave the post
Office where it is.
Last week it was reported that an
effort would be made by the properly
owners on Tenth street to secure the
removal of the postofice to that thor
oughfare. 1t is understood that Lem
Shattuck and C. A. Overlook, who
own three vacant lots. at the corner
of Tenth street and H avenue have
been urged to put in a bid for the
postoffice on that corner ana erect a
building to accommodate it. Wheth-
er or not this proposition win mater
ialize cannot yet be definitely stated.
Aside from those owning property
in the vicinity of these Two locations
there is very little interest manifest
ed in the new postoffice site, as both
corners are equal distance from the
business center of the city.
The present postoffice quarters are
entirely too small to accommodate
the growing business and especially
is this true of the lobby. With the
two rooms in the present building
thrown together ample room will be
secured for the present at least

READ THE WRITERS OF TO-DAY.
American intellectual Life Shaped by
Living Authors.

The journeymen writer's write
almost all that almost all Amer
leans read, says Walter Page in
the Atlantic. This is fact
that we love to fool ourselves
about. We talk about literature
and we talk about hack writer's" I'm
plying that the reading we do is of lit
erature. The truth all the while IL.
we read little else than the writing OF
the hacks-living hacks, that is. men
and women that write for pay. We
may hug the notion that our life and
thought are not really affected by cur
rent literature, that we read the liv-
ing writer's only for unitarian reasons
and that our real intellectual life is
fed by the great dead writer's. But
our hugging this delusion does not
change the fact that the intellectual
life even OF most educated persons,
and certainly of the mass OF the popu-
Iation. is fed chiefly by the writer's Of
our own time. Let us hope that the
great writer's of the past do set the
standards whereby a few Judge the
writing of the present But, even If
this be true. it is still true also that
the intellectual life of the American
people is chiefly shaped by current
writing.
