ONE MORE TRADITION GONE.

Chicago Evening Post.-In Muscotah
Okla, there lives an extremely un-
usual young woman.
A young man who found her card in
the pocket Of suit of overalls which
he bought, wrote her a complaisant
letter, saying he supposed that she
wanted to make his acquaintance and
that he would be glad to do so. He ad,
ded that he would marry her, is ac.
cordance with the best traditions in
such cases. In reply he received a let
ter written in the hottest Oklahoma
style, repudiating the card, estimating
the mental abilities of a man who
would marry girl he had never seen
and speaking fully and frankly of the
economic value of a future husband
who had to buy a Accent pair of over,
alls The expected wedding has not
taken place, and we cannot say that
we are sorry.
Yet we must drop one tear on the
grave of one more exploded myth oi
conventional journalism. If the lady
who writes her name on an egg is not
to marry the man who eats it, what
will become of US? The next thing we
know the old gentleman who lived tc
ia years of age will be denying thai
he has used tobacco and spirits in
moderation all his life long" Or "the
condemned man" will not "eat q
hearty breakfast"

Waterloo to Sell Bonds.

Waterloo, Nov. 27.-After repeated
delays, following an unsuccessful at
tempt to sell the issue of $525,000 in
bonds for the purchase of the Water

mayor to call for another election to

N. H. Harris & Co., through their
representatives, the Waterloo Water
Co., purchased the entire issue, agree

holding another election, and to pay
over the money as soon as the cleo
ton is held, providing, of course. the
proposition carries, of which there is

arise hereafter concerning their legal

Endowment Fund for institution,

Muscatine, Nov. 27.-With the an
nouncement that through the gener-
Gus presentation of $4,000 an endow-
ment fund would be established at the
Old Ladies Home in Muscatine,
Thanksgiving day in every sense was
made a day of thanks among the sup
porters and inmates of the institution.
The gift came from Mr. and Mrs. P.
NJ. Musser, who are now in Europe,
through their son, G. R. Musser, and
marks but one of many donations
made by Mr.. and Mrs. Musser to the
Old Ladies' Home. The home was
originally given by them for the pur-
pose that it is now used, and from
time to time it has benefited and dark
rows have been passed as the result Of
their charitable impulses. The gift
is to remain intact, only the interest
to be used in the support of the home,
which means an annual income Of ap-
proximately $500 that will relieve
many situations in the future.

William Loeb Jr. collector Of the port
announced that he had removed ten
more assistant weighers, making to-

Mr. Loeb said these removals would

SPEAKER GOES AFTER lNSURG-
ENTS AND DECLARES THEY
MUST BE FOUGHT BY THE PAR
TY SAME AS BRYAN.

Kansas City Mo, Nov. 27-'When
Senators Cummins, LaFollette, Brls-
tow and their so-called progressive
following join hands with Mr.. Bryan
in making war upon the Republican
members of congress who passed the
tariff bill and upon the president who
signed it, in that contest | know of
but one way to treat them, and that is
to fight them just as we fight Mr.. Bry-
an and his following"
Such was the declaration of Speak
er Cannon, who delivered the prinsi-
pal address before the Knife and Fork
club here last night Mr.. Cannon said
Senator Cummins alone had read him
self out of the Republican party He
defended the rules of the house, say
ing they will remain substantially as
they have been so long as there is a
congress.
Ever since history began said
the speaker, 1.-The man in the minority
has been seeking some device by
which he could overcome the will OF
the majority
Mr. Cannon asserted that while the
new tariff law is not perfect, it is the
best one ever passed under Republi-
can leadership
Mr.. Cannsn spoke from manuscript
for the second time, he said, in his
life.
Private" John Allen, former con
gresham t"om Mississippi, and Ew'
ing Herbert Of Hiawatha, Kansas
were other speakers.
Speaker Cannon devoted the first
part of his address to a review of the
legislative history OF the country, cit
ing some notable measures which
though bitterly opposed at the time OF
adoption, after fair trial, received the
unqualified approval of the country.
Defends Tariff Law.
Coming to consideration of the Al
drich-Payne tariff law he declared
that the increase in imports during
| the first three months of its operation
had been $73,000,000 over the same
period in 1908, and 21,O00,000 over
the same period of 1907, the greatest
| year under the Dingley law.

ton of what we may expect from the

MEETINGS HELD
IN MANY CITIES

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov PA nation
wide laymen's missionary movement.
This is the result of the monster
meetings held here this week This
movement will result in the calling of
the leading cities of the United States.
The opening session of the Phil
adelphia convention of the movement
was held in Scottish Rite hall, corner
of Broad and Race streets. More than
1900 men were in attendance. There
was an entire absence of the emotional
element, which in the minds of many
outside the Christian churches-and
some inside-is the chief character
istic of religious movements.
Here it could be seen was no ephem-
eral movement, but something with
the weight of American good sense
behind it, and it's purpose is to
evangelize the world in this genera
ton" This might seem an impos
sible task, and scoffers could easily
| point to the teeming millians of Asia
and other continents, and ask if in all
sincerity the leaders in this laymen's
missionary movement believe the
world can be evangelical in a single
generation, after nearly 1000 years of
work has left the larger part of the
world in ignorance of Christianity?
After supper was served, the chair
man of the local committee, Edward
H. Bonsall, vice president of the Land
Title and Trust company, asked that
| the convention send a message OF
greeting to the Baltimore convention.
The following greeting was wired:
Thirteen hundred men at opening
session and supper of Philadelphia
convention send greetings and god
speed to our fellow laymen of Balti-
more
I Mr.. Bonsall delivered a brief adj
dress of welcome and encouragement
to the Philadelphia conventions He
spoke of the period of preparation and
the efforts made by the committee to
make the convention success. He
was deeply touched when he referred
to his own interest in the missionary
movement. Where the treasure is,
there will the heart also be- he

port an adequate force of missionaries.
Instead of giving $50,000,000 to $780,
100000 year, however, we give less
than S10O00,000 a year, or less than 4
per cent of what we spend for Chris,
tan work at home
The two things needed are intellt-
gence and business methods. The city
of Toronto has increased it's mission
airy offerings from $4,000 to 100000
within little more than year by the
laymen of all churches taking hold as
advocates and organizers. The South
ern Presbyterian church has increased
it's missionary offerings in three years
from $223,000 to $4,000 per year.
There are at least five different
units that can be dealt with in this
missionary propaganda, a. the in
dividual, (2) the congregation, (3)
the denomination, ca the city or
community, and 90 the nation. Until
the laymen's movement was organized
the first three of these were the only
units dealt with. But the experience
of the past three years proves that the
city and the nation are in some ways
the most important units in this prob.
| lem.
1T is easier for an individual to dc
his part when the congregation is try'
ing to do it's whole duty. 1t is easiest
tor congregation to do its part when
the churches of whole city are NOV
ing together. 1t is easiest for any city
to do it's part when the cities of the
whole nation are lining up for serious
business.
Within the next six months we
! hope to see the rs leading cities OF
America adopt a worthy missionary
policy and put it into immediate oper'
alton in their churches. If this is
done it will shake the nation. If this
nation r-oves, it, will move Chris

RECORD YIELD
FOR ONE ACRE
yoHN suNBERG, HEAD OF CORN
MEN, RECEIVES AFFIDAVIT;
GROWN ON WHITING FARM.

Des Moines, Nov 27.-John Sunberg
of Whiting, president of the Iowa corn
Growers association, has the record,
so far as can be determined, OF having
RAISED more corn on an acre this year
than was ever grown before IN iowa
and probably in the whole world.
Mr.. Sunberg received at the corn
growers office in the Fleming building
last evening word to the effect that an
acre on his Whiting farm had produc-
ed 1913 bushels and So pounds or corn,
pr Ave times as much as the average
acre yield in Iowa.
The Information came in the form
of an affidavit made by Roy ATWOOD
tiustice of the peace at Whiting, IN
which he swears that he personally
measured the ground and weighed the
corn and found the yield to pc more
than 1853 bushels. Atwood also super
tvised the husking and watched the
growth Of the corn.
The corn which is believed to nave
carried off all acre yield records, was
raised on a patch of an acre ana d
half. The acre and a half produced 224
bushels and 40 pounds. No one con.
Mected with the Iowa Corn Growers
association knew yesterday Oh any
record that approaches the one made
on Sunberg's farm.

Is a worlds record and not only pre-
redent in the state of Iowa.
1T took seven years to do it. sald
Mr.. Sunberg. "In brief, there are but
two things which have brought about
this acreage yield record-the proper
care of the soil and the continual Sc,
lectual and breeding up of the SEED
corn. Any farmer in the state can DO
the same If he goes about it right.
THE ,5rn was planted closely to-
gethed." added Mr.. Sunberg. When
planted it the people around me MAJ

the corn would burn UP, as all the
moisture in the ground would be TAX

The affidavit of Mr.. Atwood ana
other witnesses will be displayed at the
Iowa corn exposition, which opens in
the Des Moines Coliseum week from
today. together with samples of the
