The average yield of corn per acre
in the United States is between 25
and 80 bushels. A boy in South Caro-
lima last summer raised 1921 bushels
on one acre; boy in Mississippi
raised lat bushels on an acre, and q
boy in Arkansas 122 bushels. For
these remarkable achievements the
Secretary of Agriculture has given
the three boys diplomas for special
proficiency in agricultural pursuits.
These diplomas, Secretary Wilson
says, are unique, as no boys ever be-
fore received similar recognition.
These boys have in fact performed
notable service to their respective
states by the demonstration. They
have shown that these states can by
skillful cultivation produce enormous
yields of corn. Corn is the crop that,
IeXt to cotton, the cotton states
should produce largely for a good
corn crop means bread and meat and
good horses, mules and other live
stock which the cotton planter needs.
The exhibit made by the boys in the
corn contest may have the effect of
encouraging the cotton planters to
raise more corn. Their soil and eli
mate are shown to be admirably
adapted for it's production.

KISS AND MAKE Up;
DOVE OF PEACE BACK

Kane Sakata, who is not a kane
but a wahine, and her husband Take
iiro Sakata have kissed and made up.
Kane recently fled bill for divorce,
but yesterday she came into court by
her attorney and fled a discontinu-
ance, so it is evident that the war
clouds have been blown away and the
dove of connubial bliss is once more
perched serenely above the mantel-
piece-or the chrome of the Emperor
But it was different with Louisa Nc
Kong and her husband Ng Kong. They
did not kiss and make up; the dove
of peace has taken to the tall timber
and Judge Robinson yesterday grant
ed the woman a divorce from her hus
band on the ground of desertion. Ng

and does not intend to come back

offenses of the kind mentioned thus far
seem to NE worthy of even more at
tention than crimes Of the highest
violence
"Another class Of cases you must
probably consider, is violation of the
laws made necessary by the postofice
service. These crimes are: Forgery
of money orders. and embezzlement of
money order funds of the United
States.
"Closely allied to these are viola
tons of the laws made necessary in
order to collect revenue. 1t is i'm
possible for the government to per-
form its functions without having the
necessary funds The obtaining of
these funds is provided for by various
revenue laws. You will be called up
on to consider violations of these laws
by the illicit manufacture of liquor
and by the offering of cigars for sale
in manner contrary to the law.
"Your attention viii be called also
to infringement of laws necessary for
the protection of the public property
and of the lives of those who are
obliged to travel on the high seas.
One other crime which you will be
asked to investigate is the alleged i'm
personation of a United States officer
with intent to defraud.

be your foreman. You will select your
secretary from among your number.

Glasses of Crimes.

''The district attorney, in pursuance
of his official duty, has had some
special crimes under investigation and
will bring before you evidence con
corning them:
First there are the related crimes
of bigamy, unlawful cohabitation, inn
portation of alien women for purposes
of prostitution, harboring alien women
after they are in this country for that
purpose, and conspiracy of two or more
persons to violate the laws of the Unit
ed States by causing any of the above
acts. The reason that these crimes
come under the jurisdiction of Fed
eral grand jury are, as far as bigamy
and unlawful cohabitation are con-
cerned, because this is Territory and
subject not only to the laws of Ha-
waii but to those of the United States.
In the matter of importing and har
boring alien. women, the Federal grand
iuries and courts not only here but in
the states have jurisdiction because 1t
is a crime against the immigration
laws. All these crimes strike direct
" at the sanctity and purity of the
home and persons violating the Fed
eral laws on this subject should be
prosecuted and. if found guilty, pun
ished, whether they are of the Anglo
Saxon or of alien races. The fact
that the ideas on these subjects en-
tertained in the countries from which
accused persons may come. are diffe-,
ent from those of Anglo-Saxon peoples
is no excuse for the violation of our
this country of their own free will and

A Despicab,e Practice.

"Another class of eases which, will
probably be brought to your attention
involves also the idea Of the protec-
ton of our homes and children, name

intent to expose it to sale. There is

Postal Clerk Coonce's
Lesson to Everybody


talking to newspaper reporters last night.
With sob in her throat and tear dmmed eyes, she told
OF how she awakened from her sleep yesterday
ing by the frantic shaking of the door, of how her sister
told her to hurry to the atters house, because her
husband there and in trouble and how she there
and received the from her husbands lips that he
was thief, and had been discovered.
She told of how the posofce inspectors and took
him away before he could take the children up in his
and kiss them goodbye She told of how they getting
along nicely of the things they had planned for the
future and of how good husband he had always been
to her in the eleven years they had been and wife,
And then she said cit is drink that made him do it.
cant understand how he could do it, but if he did, he
says he did, drink blinded him."
There the lesson for us all in the story of Coonce
postal clerk who opened letters the local posoffice and
stole in three months something like $1,000 It's all well
enough to theorze about the harm drink, but nothing is
powerful as the concrete example.
The story told by Mrs Coonce in The Press today should
make every in Spokane think deeply, and take
grip his determination to do right Think of the wife
and babies It's not easy always to do just what your
conscience dictates But think of poor Mrs Coonce think
of her three little children then think of your loved
ones AND TAKE A FIRMER GRIP ON YOURSELF

school when he was 6 years old. He
entered the first grade as usual,
and by noon had been sent up to

taught that he has mind and how
to use 1t.
Professor Sidus says that mod
ern school methods tend to repress
children and to stunt their minds
by holding them down to certain
"eay" subjects. This, says Sidus,
gets the child-mind into a groove
and destroys its courage, its orig
inality and its power for independ-
ent thought. 1t makes the brain
merely a receptacle for information
rather than a producer of knowl-
edge and thought.
Professor Sidus has at least given
us something to think about.
