II the recent national corn show at
Omaha made one point clear for the
casual observer 1t was that. while corn
types and characteristics may not be
transmitted from parent to child as
completely or unfailing as in the ami
NAL kingdom. they are transmissibic
to such an extent as to make the bust
ness OF corn breeding a most interest
ing as well as profitable occupation
for the average farmer. The best
types Of corn shown at the exposition
were not the result OF change, but OF
years of careful and painstaking Sc
lection and breeding. just rs is the
case with the prize animals that carry
Oh the blue ribbons at the interna-
tional fat stock show. Both cases
cited emphasize the law Of cause and
effect and give force to the truth that
like produces like.

1t is found, however. that there has been
a gradual falling off in all classes of
domestic matter which has undoubtedly
been effected through the appeal of the
Post Office Department to the public to
observe greater care IN addressing com
municatons, and to writer's to use their
card addresses on their envelopes. The
slight general increase noted was due to
the fact that the receipts of foreign mat
ter have increased. There was total
decrease of 1,699 pieces of mail matter
of domestic origin. while in foreign mat
ter there was an increase OF $50.

CAROLINA MILL PROFITS.
Aggregate Distribution of Profits in
January $3,e00,OO0s
,(Charlotte Observer.

Stockholders in the cotton manu-
featuring companies of the Carolinas
are now receiving their regular semi
annual distribution of profits, which
in the aggregate will amount to the
princely consideration of $4,000, 900.
This estimate Is reached on the basis
of an annual dividend Of 6 per cent
as an average or the capital en-
ployed in the mills, which totals
about 20,000,00O. Only an ap-
Proclamation can be made upon the
semi-annual dividends for the reason
that there is no uniform basis of dis
tribution
Many of the mills in the two Caro-
linas paid during the past year a
dividend of 10 per cent. Others were
able to pay only 8 per cent and some
were unable to pay anything at all
by reason of the financial depression.
Conservative mill men of Charlotte
when approached yesterday were of
the opinion that per cent would be
fair estimate OF the average paid
during the year and on this basis the
