Corn Improvement.

The Department of Agriculture
notes some corn tests in Delaware
which are instructive in that they
show that what appears to be very
good corn may be poor seed, One
hundred and fifty samples of seed
corn were selected and germinative
tests were made of each. over 20 per
cent of the ears showed imperfect ger
mination, while the percentage declar-
ed unfit for seed was 2S. 1t is sug-
gested that by systematic selection the
yields might be increased from 20 to
| 40per cent.

HOWARD THOMAS
TE[[S0F ATHENS
GIVE THAT CITY AS A GOOD Elk.
AMPLE OF THE BENEFICENT
EFFECTS OF PROHIBITION
MERCHANTS LIKE DRY TOWN.

Probably no better illustration of
the beneficent effects of the prohibi-
ton law could be found than that
which now prevails in my native
town o fAthens, Ohio.
Athens is a city of much CONNER
cial Importance, located in southeast
ern Ohio-the metropolis of the re-
gion-the county seat of Athens
county. 1t is located in the Hook
inb valley coal mining district and
therefore has the problems incident
to coal mining town. 1t now has
a population of about 1000 people.
In the spring of 1907 the question
of license or no license was submit
ted to the people and after a red hot
campaign the town went dry. After
one years experience of dry town
the merchants and professional men
were asked for an expression on the
question, as to whether it was sue
cess and practically every merchant
and professional man in the city said,
Give us a dry town." Here is the
expression of some of the firms and
this is practically the sentiment of
1876 firms of this city of 1000 peo-
pie:

| did not take any active part n
the local option fight in the spring Of
1907, for the reason that l thought
it would hurt my business.
am happy to say that l was mis-
taken, as my business has gained IN
the past dry year over the year before
when we had saloons.
| think Athens is much better
morally than when we had saloons.
and l shall be in favor of county 10
cal option this fall.

A. w. TEWKSBURY.
Office of Harry G. Stalder, Attorney.
To Whom it May Concern:
At the local option election held in
1907 at which Athens went dry
voted wet and did all l could for the
wet side. | honestly thought that a
dry town would mean a dead one and
that the enforcement or the law
would be so lax that it wOula be a
farce. l want to say that today am
unqualifiedly for county and munich
pal local option.
Since these testimonials were writ
ten the town has had another year
of prohibition and prosperity and the
mayor, S. E. Hedges, said in reply
to some interrogations mailed him on
August 9, 1909, that since the voting
out of saloons in Jnue, 1907, bust
ness has improved and the popula-
ton has increased. Il feel sure We
are more prosperous" says he. "and
that the business men are largely OPP
posed to a return of license"
Having been citizen of Athens
county, Ohio, practically all my life
till coming to Wenatchee and know
ing that my fellow tOwnsmen here
are DESTROYS of learning the truth
about prohibition, whether or not it
is good thing for a town, l have
taken pains to collect these facts and
give them to you as such.
Respectfully,
HOWARD THOMAS.

Johnston and other gentlemen of Mexico are interested will soon assume definite pro- portions and be under way to a successful issue. If worked out as the project is said to have been planned, the company will be one of the very largest industrial con. cerns in the republic and will have behind it very large capital
 Guadalajara Times: Plans are under way for the removal of St. Andrews College from Mexico City to Guadalajara. This is a school for the training of young men for the ministry, and is under the con trol of Bishop H. A. Ayes of the Episcopal church. The Rev. Will liam Watson, recently of Puebla and Oaxaca, will be at the head of St. Andrews and is expected to ar rive here next week. He will also have charge of the Spanish congre- gation of the Episcopal church in Guadalajara, which for the past eight months has been under the care of the Rev. H. c. Mayer. MT. Mayer will assume the rectorship of the American mission at Jalapa, Veracruz, succeeding there the Rev. H. NJ. Green who takes Rev. Watson's former work.
 Guadalajara Times: Arrange ments have been made to resume development work on the old Gala baza mine in the Etzatlan district at an early date. The work will be done under the direction oi Louis Baird, the Etzatlan engineer for the account of the Dwight Fur ness Company of Guanajuato which bought the Calabaza from Carlos Romero of Etzatlan several years ago. New drifting and sink ing will, it is expected, uncover some important ore bodies at lower levels than ever before, and the erection of a reduction mill will probably be warranted. The Gala. baza is situaIed four miles south oi Etzatlan on parallel vein to the famous Amparo group, and com prises twenty.four pertenencias Four Assure veins cross the claim There are about 600 feet of ole shafts and drifts, which a few years ago were said to have shown 20,00C tons of milling ore ready for ex traction.

 Mexican Herald: Reports reach ed here yesterday that a deal for the Rancho Limon has been closed and that the property will at once be taken over by California parties. The tract contains 100000 acres and the purchase price is said to S2,500,000 gold The motive of the company in buying the body of land, which is the largest in the state of Tamaulipas, is for the ex- ploitation of oil. The tract is situated on the National Railways of Mexico, on it being the stations ot Las Palomas, Rodriguez, COcOs and Auza. A large number of oil seepages exist on the property. It is reported that the company will at once begin drilling operations. Owing to the fact that the Panuco river is navigable at all seasons of the year for boats of light draught, shipping facilities which the com pany will be able to command are excellent and it will be an easy matter to reach Tampico and the gulf with products.
 Mexican Herald: Since the early frosts last month several of the large financial and industrial in- stitutions of Mexico have been compiling information concerning the actual state of the corn crop and the amount of damage done. One of these concerns said yester- day that according to returns re- ceived from the entire republic where corn is grown indicate that the acreage for this year was 70 per cent greater than that of last year and that the total yield will exceed that of 1908 by 10 per cent According to these returns the crop is very spotted, but in many places where it was at first supposed that the entire corn crop had been killed by the frost, it was found that the loss in few instances exceeded 5C per cent. Where the corn had ever partly matured, the growth was, oi course, stopped, but the corn was not killed. The result was tho checking of further development ol the ear and considerable loss 1T

SUES The CITY
FOR KILLING Dog

A suit for 500 against the city of
Hattiesburg has been instituted by
Mr.. ]. T. Parker for the killing of his
dog several days ago by one of the
policemen.
The declaration has been filed in
the office of the circuit court clerk
and the summons issued.
Several days ago some one tele-
phond to the police headquarters that
there was a mad dog one the streets,
and when an officer arrived on the
scene, it is stated, the dog seemed
to be mad, and was shot.
Mr. Parker claims that the dog was
not mad, and therefore the city should
reimburse him for the dog, and as
stated he places the value of the
canine at 500.
