In order to md out the factSain tic
case Dean Shepperd. directorsof the

W.. B. Richards, professor Of animal
husbandry. recently carried out some
feeding trials using corn, barley. and
rejected wheat for purposes Of COM

The results Of the corn-toarley trials
are summed up in the following state

pect from a hundred pounds Of barley
when compared with corn for fatten-
ing hogs. The difference in the quail

Of the hogs being $5.75 per cwt.. the

NO LEAD OVER LUCKY ONES
IN NORTH DAKOTA. ISL
FORTUNE SMILES ON TWO
Winstsd. Conn.,, Good Luck story L
Closely Followed BY These from
Fargo and Grand
Forks.

Fargo-The story Of fortune await
ing Chas. Stermer Of the state sold
ters' home at Lisbon, upon his recent
return to his old home at Winsted,
Conn.,, does not by any means exhaust
the accounts Of financial fortunes ly-
ting In wait for the lucky denizens of
North Dakota-according to newspa-
per reports now In circulation here
and at Grand Forks. Since North
Dakota raises fine wheat. oats. corn
and potatoes-why not also crops Of
good luck, as well? At any rate 1t
seems to be coming that way.
Up to two or three months ago. Mrs.
Anne p. Ross was resident Of this
city, living with her daughter, Mrs
Louis G. Hoffman In the Park flats
and at Ills Fourth avenue south. Mr..
Hoffman was in the life insurance busi-
ness In this state, and together with
his wife and her mother. lived in q
very modest way. They are all wealthy
now-so the story runs-Mrs. Ross and
her daughter having come into posses
sion Of decidedly comfortable holdings
of Brooklyn real estate by the death
Of the formers mother, Mrs. Hannah
Smith Goodwin of Brooklyn.
It appears that as q young woman
Mrs. Ross was aportioned her share of
lost 1t through investments which did
not succeed. Since then, the family
estate has materially increased, and
her aged mother determined that her
daughter "out west'' should not fail to
receive a portion Of the estate. The
death Of Mrs Goodwin brings this de-
termination into fullfllment, and a
family of North Dakotans is made
very comfortable as a result. It is
understood the family now resides in
Devils lake
= Tho Grand Forks Case.
At Grand Forks the latest sensation
in heirships that will enable the owner
to "fy high" Is connected with the
name Of an elevator boy whose pa.
ternal grandfather in Norway pos
sesses 100000 and has only the 49,
year-old North Dakota boy as kin.
Oscar England Is the young man in
question. H. o. England, Of Christiana
the grandparent, is now tottering on
the edge of the grave, and it can be
but few years at the most before the
Grand Forks boy Is at least half q
millionaire. Young England has been
q resident Of this city all his life and
now lives with his mother and two half
brothers in the city. Naturally he
has been the main support Of the fam
fly and proposes to take life little
easier when he gets his grandfather's
wealth.
Under the provisions of the will, in
case his grandfather dies before he is
81 years of age, the lad will get $4,000
at the age Of 81. and the remainder of
over half a million when he is Is
years of age. His grandfather. is now
very infirm and has sent for the boy
to come to Christiana to see him.
Oscar will make the trip in very
short time and will ask that he be
given an education to At him for taking
care Of the fortune. He takes his
good fortune very philosophically and
has no intention Of allowing a few
thousand to turn his head.

Kansas City, November 19.-Modifica-
ton of the interstate commerce act in
order to secure reasonableness of rates
to all and fairness of practices In the
operation of interstate railroads were
suggested by Attorney General George W.
Wickersham in an address here at the
annual banquet of the commercial club,
given in commemoration of the signing
of the John Jay commercial treatry.
Mr.. Wickersham responded to the toast
The Interstate Commerce Commission"
Other guests were Charles S. Deneen,
governor of Illinois, who spoke on In
land Waterways" and Rabbi Stephen D.
Wise of New York, who spoke on 'Mu-
nicipal Reform
DR.. Wise said In part:
To-day the problem of the nation is
the problem of civic duties, a problem
which has not grown out of state rights
but it must be admitted, out of civic
wrongs.
1.-The solution of the civic problem of
the nation is to be found in re-birth
of what Phillips Brooks has called 'spir-
itual patriotism. or civic religion.
1.-THE most deadly enemy of the re-
public who must be met and overcome
is the city CRATER, the municipal corrup-
ZIONIST If we must have a bigger navy
and bigger army. these ought to be
employed not against imaginary foes
across the seas, but against those real
enemies of the republic who are undoing
the work of the fathers and blighting the
hopes Of democracy by demoralizing and
degrading the civic life of the nation.
The nation must learn to honor Its civic
heroes-its civic leaders of character and
worth. But 1t must also learn to despise
civic bandits.
"If civic patriotism is to become q
civic religion the pitfalls of religion must
be avoided. For one thing, civic religion
must avoid the danger of scapegoatism.

of any other party. would smell as sweet.
The power of the Tammany halls not
Tammany hall OF New York, Philadel-
phta, Chicago and San Francisco is made
possible by the corrupt leadership Of
few and the inert acquiescence of the
many. The difference between most polit-
ical corruptionists and the average polit-
ical purist is that the former are dead
In earnest and the latter are in earnest
dead.
''Civic reform must be a matter of con-
t1nueus ana ceaseless striving. The civic
reformation will not be attained, II mu-
inequalities grow tired after a few years

grown tired. The leaders OF the cause OF
civic reformation. like the churches.
spend too much time and strength In
fighting each other instead of waging
united warfare upon the common enemy.

FALL CEREMONIAL
HELD BY SHRINERS

Meridian, November 19.-(Special.) 1.-The
city is in possession of the Shriners of
Mississippi tonight the occasion being the
fall ceremonial of Hamasa temple of Me-
ridian. The gala event was ushered In
this afternoon with a street parade which
eclipsed any like event ever before at
tempted by the Shriners. 1t was led by
the Arab patrol, officials of the Divan
followed, then came the class of 10 novices
followed by a long line of mobiles. The
novices were roped together as lambs be-
ing led to the slaughter. Immediately
following the parade, which was wit
messed by thousands, work on the class
was begun at Masonic temple.
The class taking the shrine follows:

quet prepared by the ladies Of the Eastern
Star was enjoyed. This was followed
by an entertainment at the Grand opera
house in honor of the Shriners and their
guests.
One of the last acts of the fall reunion
of Scottish Rite Masons was the unani-
nous adoption of resolution providing
for the education of Miss Dorothy How
ard at the Tennessee College for Women.
Miss Howard is the eldest daughter of
the late William Howard. one of the most
prominent Masons in Mississippi.

the market. They insist that prices are
ultimately going to Is or 20 cents, but the
general public, after its recent rough ex-
perience on the bull side has been wary
about re-entering the speculation. and it
is not improbable that the bulls will have
to make good In no uncertain fashion If
they are to secure another outside follow
Ing In some parts of the snnth. tnn. IL
Is reported that practical deadlock ex-
lists in the matter of spot cotton holders
firmly maintaining prices and spinners
holding aloof. or late there has been
not little selling on the fact that the
National Ginners association put the to-
tai ginning up to November IA at S,096,000
bales. One rumor was that the total was
S,20.000 bales, as against previous intima-
ton that it was only 1911, 200 bales
This uncertainty about the National
Ginners' figures and a good deal of SELL
ing by Memphis. Liverpool, Wall street
and the west contributed largely to the
decline of Thursday and Friday. Bears
look for substantial decline before the
first of the year, but bulls insist that
cotton Is likely to rule high at least for
three years to come in the general ex-
pansfon of trade, echoing Andrew Carne-
gfe's sentiment, I'VE are in the throes of
prosperity, and good times are to have a
long, long session." Conservative intar-
ests. however, deprecate any wild or reck-
less speculation on either side OF the mar
