Phillips county has made rapid inn

year but the present prospects are very
favorable for a growth and improve

not before experienced. The past year
has been very satisfactory crop year
for the county and the prospects at this

f'attering for the starting of the spring

The county has been getting some good

Picking Seed Corn
Out or The Fie d.

A Mclean county, Illinois. farmer
tells me he has quit selecting his seed
corn from the stalks. Ho says that for
eight years he went into his field during
the last of September and selected the
earllest-ripened ears, with the result
that his corn began to mature earlier
and produce smaller ears, due to tho
shorter growing season. He thinks it
is mistake to constantly pick the
earliest ears, unless, of course, one is
working for an earlier strain, or is
selecting seed which is to be planted
farther north lie now selects his seed
as he husks, and he finds that his crop
ripens more evenly when planted with
that kind of seed.
There is wide difference in the COM
mon practices of selecting seed corn
from the field. When the same variety
Of corn is grown year after year, 1t is
important that one starts with variety
which is adapted in habits and ripening
period to the region where it is to be
grown. When this is done one should
pay more attention to desirable charac-
teristics of the ear than to mere earli-
ness. Many hold that this can be done
only by picking the seed cars direct
from the stalks and then studying both
together. Others say that by selecting
the ears from tho wagons, at husking
time, one gets all Of the most nearly
perfect ears, and it is matter of small
Importance on what sort of stalks they
were grown. When selecting from the
wagon one gets all the good ears, no
matter under what soil conditions they
were produced.
| myself believe that, unless one is
breeding or selecting with reference to
particular characteristics, that selection
of seed cars at husking time will give
seed which will produce more nearly
uniform ears and greater number of
bushels per acre. National Farmer and
Stock Grower.

In democratic press seems TO be
very much concerned over the fact that
the leaders OF the republican party do
not fully agree on the tariff question
and is predicting all kinds Of trouble
for the party in the near fu-
ture. OF course, very naturally, the
democratic press would hail with de-
light anything that would cause trouble
in the republican party, but II will be
something very unusual IL the republi'
cans fail TO handle the tariff question in
manner that will leave no party ben
efits to the democrats thercfrom.
Republican leaders may and do disa.
gree on some questions connected with
the tariff but the very fact that they are
independent enough to disagree on some
questions connected with the tariff bu,
still stand shoulder TO shoulder in sup
port of the general principles OF n pro-
teetive tariff, certainly shows much
healthier condition Of the party than
the no policy on the tariff shown by the
democrats In the last session Of con-
gress did.

mere expense. The merchant who loves
to linger at the back of his store and
who Goes not care to employ any more
clerks should not advertise. Neither
should the merchant who thinks every

knows that he wants to sell goods, and

 San Francisco, July 6.-FTght fans in Frisco are sore to-day over the decis- ion of Referee Roche who awarded to Stanley Ketchell the decision at the end of a twenty round mill with Billy Papke last night. Ketchelps work was a bitter disappointment to the men who think he can whip Jack Johnson. He was an ordinary performer. Had Papke gone in his hurricane style few believe Ketchell would have lived through the twenty rounds When it was all over he was a tired gladiator, with a stall about having broken his hand in the sixth round. Papke, on the other hand, was fresh and un- and could have stood many more rounds of that kind of fighting.
 KetchelPs statement that he broke his hand in the sixth round followed previous statements that he broke it in the fifth round, then in the eighth and then in the seventh. In any event he took good care to conceal the brok-, en hand from inquirers. There were many misses when Referee Roche awarded the fight to Ketchell- r1-
 To-day neither man seems to show any marks of the contest though Papke is looking the more fit of the two. The feeling against Roche is still very bitter and the referee is keeping under cover. In many rounds during the fight Papke had Ketchell going but seemed to prefer playing slowly. Many believe that had Papke's seconds urged him on, he could have given Ketchell the right handed narcotic that would have put him to sleep for whole lot

OF FIVE GAMES
 ORATORS WIN }.
But the Decision in a Game With Springfield Rests With League Directors.

Bridgeport actually won g. double header, yesterday, taking one game from Springfield in the morning. 7-5, and the afternoon contest in Pony town. ST. The morning game at New field ended in an argument as to who was the winner. Before the contest it had been decided to call the game at n:45 a. m. so as to allow the players to get the train for Springfield. When that time arrived 6 and one half in nings had been played with the score a tie 7-7. Springfield had made two runs in this inning. According to the national agreement when a game is called on account of rain, or by agree ment, the score reverts back to the time proceeding inning. Umpire Stern burg refused to give a decision on the result, rather leaving it to the league directors to decide. The contest was marked by good and indifferent work on both sides. Gibbs pitched a master ly contest. only two of the visitors runs being earned, the rest on costly. errors. If he had been giveR any kind of support there would be no reason to go to the league meetings to fight the result out. Murray Parker, the Ponies best, was meat for the Orators, Hit getting three hits. while Ladd and Steinhauser each had duo. The score:
