There is much discussion in Wash
ington, concerning a memorial to
President Lincoln. 1t is the desire
of the country at large that he shall
have a monument commensurate
with that of Washington A road
to Gettysburg is under discussions;
an arch over Sixteenth Street is
favored by some. A towering mon
ument on the Plaza between the new
Union Station and the Capitol is
perhaps more popular with artists
than any other suggestion. Old
Andrew Jackson, however, had a
great contempt for architects and
artists, as was shown when he
walked out and planted his hickory
stick in the center OF Pennsylvania
Avenue and ordered the Treasury
Building erected there.

Petitions are circulating through
out the country beseeching the
President to give up his African
hunting excursion. They are the
pleas Of sentimental and hysterical
members of humane associations.
There are a few such members in
the societies for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals and they harm
rather than help these excellent or
CARNATIONS. The intelligent and
thoughtful members of these soci-
cites devote their time and means to
the alienation of the sufferings of
domestic herbiverous animals. 1t
is in the interest of the welfare of
these animals that lions, tigers,
wolves and all predatory carnivora
shall be exterminated. Just as it
is good to extirpate weeds, to hang
assassins, it is also desirable to rid
the earth of the beasts of prey. 1t
is presumably against these that the
President is going abroad in Africa.

prised to see the great interest man
| ifeSted. We had something like
one hundred entries in the contes.
and it certainly was the means OF
stirring up great deal of corn SEN
timent in that section.
l know it to be a fact that the
yield of corn through the use of
good SEED and proper culture can
be more than doubled. If you have
taken note of the recent United
States Crop Reporter you will find
that Wisconsin leads Illinois. Iowa,
Missouri, Indiana and all of what
are known as corn states" in the
yield of corn per acre. This has
been done on account of the corn
interest that has been aroused in
the introduction of pure bred var
ieties.
We conducted twenty-six contests
in twenty-one different counties the
past year. These contests were run
in connection with fairs, but in
some counties the fairs are held SO
early that it is not practical to run
a corn contest in connection with
the fair, so l like your plan very
much.
Assuring you that / am very
much interested in this matter and
will do everything in my power to
encourage this good enterprise, I
am,
Sincerely yours, r. A. MOORE.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE BOYS
ARE INTERESTED
G. H. Kruschke and r. w. Brun-
ner, who are attending the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture, have
written rendering their services to
the committee and promising to do
all in their power to push along
this good thing, the Seed Corn Con-
test, Exhibit and Lecture. They
say that all of the short course
students in St. Croix and Polk coun-
ties are very much interested in the
project, and they all are going to
| help.
The proposition is proving won
derfully popular everywhere, and it
promises to be a tremendous sue
cess.
For further particulars write any
member of the committee.

The United States
and Japan

In spite of the efforts of the lingo
journals of the east, and the Cali
fornia agitators of the west, to pro-
duce an irritating friction between
the United States and Japan, the
present administration, under the
wise guidance of Secretary of State
Elihu Root, has provided for an
amicable adjustment of all differ
ences that may arise between the
two countries.
Anti-Japanese measures were re-
Gently introduced in the California
Legislature. In the hope of thwart-
ing these measures, President
Roosevelt wrote a letter to Gov.
Gillett of that State. The President
stated in this letter that the num-
Der of Japanese coming to the main
land of this country during the six
months ending October 81, 1908,
was 2,074, and during the same
period the number of Japanese leav-
ing this country was 1921. He also
expressed the belief that under ex-
listing arrangements between the
two governments the time is not far
distant when there will be no more
Japanese in the United States than
there are Americans in Japan.
The letter in question was evil
IDENTIFY received by Gov. Gillett in
the same laudable spirit in which it
was written, and the California
legislature will be counseled to go
slow on legislation of an irritating
nature while the general govern
ment is making such satisfactory
progress in solving the delicate
problem of Japanese immigration.
A very important feature in the So
luton of this question is the dis
couragement of emigration by the
Japanese government which appears
to be acting in good faith.

Large Exhibition OF
Household Utensils

A varied exhibition of 1abor-Sav-
ing devices for the home including
the most up-to-date and practical
utensils for the kitchen and laundry
will be a prominent feature of the
women's course in home-making at
the College of Agriculture, Univers-
ity of Wisconsin, which opens next
week for the period, February 9-13.
Many of the appliances to be shown
are designed for country homes
where gas and electricity are seldom
available. The display includes
freless cookers, adapted to both
cooking and freezing in the same
vessel, self heating gasoline irons,
coffee percolators, power washing
machines, bread and cake mixers,
self heating mangles for the laundry,
vacuum cleaners and carpet sweep
ers, lamps, electrical appliances in
Guiding irons, coasters, etc., and a
great variety of other conveniences
for a housewife. The demonstra.
tons will show how the tasks of the
home may be made less burdensome
by the use of these modern appli-
anceS.
In addition to the prominent
speakers previously announced,
Mrs. Florence G. Buckstaff, Osh-
kosh, former regent of the univers-
ity, has been secured to lead several
discussions. Special provisions are
being made to accommodate farmers
wives and daughters who may come
from distance, and the problems
of the farm home will be kept in
mind in the various lectures and
demonstrations. Applications for
programs indicate that the course
will be we'll attended this year.
Mrs. D. H. Otis, Madison, in charge
of the course, is sending out detailed
information on request.

Question: What is the meaning
of the words Advent, Epiphany, etc.
which appear in the notices of the

words refer to the various seasons
of the Church Year. Every Sunday

Advent means coming" and Epiph-
any signifies !" a manifestation. "

The first proposal made in the
Senate for a primary probe failed
for want of specific charges. Then
came Senator Blaine with joint res
olution containing sixteen specific
charges, of character that might
apply to any candidate for Office
who had from ten thousand to thirty
thousand dollars to put into con-
test for an official position. The
resolution was not "railroaded'
through the Assembly under sus-
pension of the rules, and when lit
came up in its regular order proved
too big a dose for the lower house
to swallow without amendment.

PEAT FUEL OF THE FUTURE.

A thorough investigation of the
peat resources is now being under
taken by the geological survey, not
only as to the amount of peat and its
location. but also its use. Prof
Charles A. Davis of the archaeological

Tiny Maple May Thrive Like Mate,
Which Attains Large Size, to
Wonder of Scientists.

Greensburg, Ind.-Another tree has
made its appearance on the court
house tower in this city and bids fair
to receive as much publicity as its
mate, which has caused Greensburg to
be mentioned in almost every corner
of the civilized world.
The tiny tree is believed to be a
maple, the same as the larger one
that reposes near the pinnacle of the
tower, and which is now sturdy tree
ten or twelve feet in height.
The second tree was first noticed
few days ago, and had sprung from
crevice just above the cornice on the
south side of the tower. 1t is in plain
view from two sides of the square. and
seen through a glass appears to be at
least six or eight inches high.
There are many versions as to how
the first tree ever started to grow on
the rock surface of the tower, and the
opinions are varied
