Kentucky's Biggest Cornfield.

from the LOUISVILLE Courler-JOurnal.
The biggest cornf1eld in the state OF
Kentucky is now being laid by. 1t is the
field outlined by the gigantic horseshoe
sweep OF the Ohio river from Henderson
round past Evansville to Green river. 1t
is the biggest because 1t Is corn continu-
ously for 5000 or 1000 acres. unbroken
by fences, unrelieved by any other crop
no hay, no tobacco, oats or wheat-just
corn, corn, corn. and then more corn.
1t is estimated that over 100000 BUSH
els of corn will be raised in this monster
tract this year. and this is in spite of
the fact that the farmers were scared out
of years growth by the high water,
and for a time were not quite sure
whether the high water would let them
raise any crop.
It means something to plough one of
these rows Of corn a mile long in Horse
shoe Bend, and by the time team has
made a few round trips 1t Is time to rest
g. bit.

proved by President Taft after an in

Views of Land Claimants.

H. C. Heney, who Is interested in Gun
bingham land claims, said:
when Judge Ballinger left the Office OF
the land commissioner we consulted him
as a lawyer regarding the coal cases.
There was nothing wrong about that.
Wher he went into the cabinet he was
not asked to have any further dealings
with the men interested in the coal lands.
We were notified that he would have no
further relations with those interested in
the properties.
c. J. Smith. another Of the coal land
claimants, said:
Judge Ballinger's record was absolute
ly clean in the Alaska coal land cases.
Those who will be in possession of the
facts knew this and never feared that the
charges against him would carry weight"

DIDN'T KNOW
Coffee Was the Cause.

Many daily habits, particularly OF
eating and drinking, are formed by
following our elders.
In this way i'll health Is often fas.
tened upon children. A Ga. lady
says:
II had been allowed to drink COT
fee ever since | can remember, but
even as a child | had a weak stom-
ach which frequently refused to re-
tain food.
THE taste Of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as |
found out later, the cause OF the
stomach rebelling against food.
II now see that II was only from
following the example OF my elders
that formed and continued the mis-
cradle habit Of drinking coffee. My
digestion remained poor nerves un-
strung, frequent headache, and yet
did not suspect the true cause.
Another trouble was bad, muddy
complexion for which | spent time
and money for creams, massaging,
etc, without any results.
After | was married was asked
to try Postum. and would you be-
lieve II, |, an old coeffe toner, took
to Postum from the very first We
made It right, according to directions
on the pkg and It had most deli
cate flavor, and | at once quit coffee,
with the happiest results.
