A EIRsr PRlzE WlNNER.

The South Carolina boy who took the governments first prize for the best acre of corn grown by a youth ought to be of interest to the boys Of eastern Connecticut. Bascom Usher is IT and he procured an acre of ground and entered himself in the National Boys Corn Contest, conduct ed by the United States government. He kept and has ready sworn records as to planting, cultivation, harvesting and marketing. These records were examined on Thursday last by an ofi- ciaI committee, and were found worthy of praise in every way. So was Bas- com Usher's acre-crop of corn, which was bigger than that of any other South Carolina boy and was awarded the government first prize for that state.
 On his single acre. this boy pro- duced 152 1-2 bushels of corn The United States government purchased every bit of 1t at s2 bushel. The fodder brought in s30 more. The acres planting thus yielded sS35. The. net profit is supposed to be not less than s200.
 The Charleston News and Courier vouches for the truth of this story. and it shows that the live American boy is a hustler wherever he is To- cated.

AS THINGS LOOK AT NIcAReAuA

Zelaya's success is not making the Nicaraguan problem any easier to solve, for 1t would please the American people if he were routed from his country and a better ruler recognized and a better government inaugurated. A great deal of speculation is rife as to what this government will be likely to do If Zelaya's triumph is complete. and also with reference to the possi- bility of this governments preventing his triumph by openly aiding the in- surgents to establish a new govern ment.
 It Is not likely that the government will meddle with Nicaraguan affairs unless Zelaya's forces provoke 1t. by some ill-conceived plan or overt act; and should this government interfere, then 1t will not be possible for the Washington government to shirk the general responsibility for the new government that must be set up; and to make secure and civilized admin tstration in Nicaragua at this time will necessitate the frank acceptance of suzerainty over the entire establish ment of the country, which might lead to complications with foreign powers Uncle Sam can afford to wait patiently and abide his time fin the regular course of affairs to get satisfaction,

A GREAT APPLE EXHIBIT.

Denver is booked to have the great est exhibition of apples held in the world, next month. It is announced that a dozen or more states will take part in the show, and the contest for the prizes will be spirited. Not only will there be medals and silver cups galore as rewards for the best exhibits, but money premiums to the extent of $7,000 will be distributed. From the state of Washington, which boasts that it raises the greatest apples in Ameri- ca, four carloads are coming. and Ore gon will send quite as many. An expert connected with the exhibition has figured that there will be not less than 5,00o.O00 apples sent on, and it will, be worth going to Denver to see that gigantic array of the orchards finest.
 It is more than likely that some of the leading apple growers of New England will enter fruit which will capture some of the biggest premiums. It is claimed by experienced orchard ists that no such favored apples can be grown anywhere as are produced on New England hills, and 1t is time to show up some of the best New Eng land apples to these western enthusi- asts.

The Game of Piu.

Any one who has not played the game of pig has yet to learn what a really thrilling game it is. It can be played either for prizes or with for feits and is either way delightful. The cards used are those of the euchre deck which are dealt as for old maid Players sit around a general table and cards are dealt face down. Every one matches the cards dealt to him as quickly and as quietly as he can, the object being to get out cards as soon as possible. As soon as any player finds himself out of cards, which is drawing and matching as in old maid, he says nothing abcu. It.. but folds his hands under the table This is signal for all players to do the same thing--thst is, to lay aside their cards and observe silence. But most play CTS are too intent upon the game to notice the silqtfc@ Felgning in other parts of the t&ble, ! One by one they dhfstiy become' kNHAfe of this fact and quietly lay down their cards The last to do so is the, pig, who must either forfeit his chance for the prize or pay forfeit according to the arrange ments made in advance of the game. A. number of rounds are always played m Urugr fnar nafnber of pigs shall be nade.-Woman's Home Compan- ion.

 Politically, there isn't much chance pf the Pennsylvania statesman as the next republican candidate. In fact Pennsylvania isn't in line for ticket nominations"
 But" says The Times. eff the rum- pus in the republican party continues h the insurgents in congress can ac- somplish practical results instead of having their achievements restricted To newspaper interviews, it may be necessary for the republican party in 1912 to take a man regardless of polit- teal geography.

TO PREVENT WASTE OF. TAX
 MONEY.

Political campaigns in the direct in- terest of the people always pay and live constituency everywhere creates worthy and competent officials.
 When County Treasurer John R. Thompson of Cook county, Illinois, promised the voters that he would see that they received the interest upon the tax funds. it was not expected that such gratifying results would be achieved, but he kept his word and the Chicago News announces the re- suit thus:
 John R. Thompson, county treasur- CT of Cook county, recently turned in to the public treasury s117266.s1 as the interest that had bean earned on public funds in his keeping. During the time he has been in his present office the total payments made by him on this account have amounted to $s6T,s67.25.
 "Up to a few years ago the treas urers of public funds in this commun- ity took as their private perquisites the interest on the taxpayers money in their possession. As the result of popular agitation a change has been brought about and now the interest on public funds is regarded as a public asset.
 "Campaigns to prevent waste of public funds are well worth while. even though the difficulties encountered seem discouraging at times. The pub lie is now reaping the benefit of pre- vious agitations directed against waste These gains show the practical value of persistent efforts to overcome such evils as. the laxity of public officials and the greed of interruptions con- tractors now being exposed by the in- vestigations of the Merriam commits sion, the citizens association and oth- CT effective agencies"
 A widespread and active interest in public affairs by the voters is of marked advantage in any city. It is where there is little life or system that the interruptions wax fat.

SECRETARY MfvEAeH ON THE
 TARIFF.

There never was a perfect tariff measure and there is not likely to be. The fluctuating markets, the selfish ness of parties in interest and other causes make such e thing impossible. The Payne bill is doing what it was designed to do, to check increasing de- hcits, and the way has been provided for the changing of schedules in future without disturbing the business of the country.
 Secretary Mcveagh says:
 'The friends of tariff revision never expected that the law of 1909 could or should complete the movement. The hope is entertained that the Payne law ends the actual legislation for the present, and 1t is not considered ad visable immediately to turn. in again and disturb business conditions. And 1t does not seem necessary to make all 4ariff legislation review of the en- tire law.
 "An excellent reason for a reasona- ble postponement of attempts at fur ther legislation is that it is universally believed that we ought to do no more Iegislating on the tariff until we know better how to legislate on it. The opinion is practically universal that hereafter such legislation must be based on facts and knowledge and sci- entihc investigation, and not on mere bartering between sections and differ ent interests"
 It is proposed to take the tariff out of politics and to make strictly bus mess proposition of tito have 1t amended and kept in accord with con- ditions which tell for the well being of all concerned.

German Play Anrons.

The German play aprons which are to be had in all colors are certainly fascinating. Those from Munich. for the most art. are dark blue and are resplendent in colored prints of the boys and girls of Munich initiating their elders in doing the famous goose step. The pocket, extending well across the bottom of the apron, is made of this printed cloth, while a band of the printed cloth is stitched across the top. The bright red pip ing gives a touch of color to the hem all the way around. American moth- CTS are copying these aprons in the pretty chambrays. Chambray aprons of light pink or blue are bound with white and have a pocket across the front. also bound with the white. The little aprons cross in back and but ton on either shoulder They are suf- ficiently sizable to be practical so far as keeping the frocl clean is concern ed and they have a quaint air that is quite fetching.

ends. Just above the scallop are mot toes, worked in the fascinating cross stitch. Sometimes red alone or blue alone is used, but more frequently the two colors are combined. The strips are made just the length of the shelves and hang over the edge much as the paper or oilcloth strips for the kitchen pantry or china closet. Occasionally the edge, instead of being buttonholed, is hemmed and finished with a cro- cheted edge. The addition of initials in the cross stitch, in the center of each strip. gives a decidedly personal touch to the sets.

Ideas for That New Evening Gown.

Styles in evening dresses vary less than in those meant for afternoon wear. A great many empire dresses are still being worn, but these have more fullness, and occasionally an overskirt effect takes away the skimpy look.
 Black is great favorite this year and is particularly effective trimmed with silver in tiny spangled pattern, as many of the new dinner gowns are.
 A peculiar shade of deep rose is being used for decollete gowns. At night it looks almost red. This is a particularly effective shade to wear when one has dark hair and a white skin.
 All materials are very thin. Chif- ion cloths. voiles and thin crepes di- vide popular favor.
 Coarse lace is used for the long waisted corset effect so much in favor, and the lower part of the skirt Is often made of sheer accordion plaited chiffon.
 The overdress idea is used on nearly all the more extreme models, and this
