Indian Corn.

Corn was first planted in
America by the Indians. They
did this by scratching or by dig
ging holes in the earth and drop
ping grains of corn into them.
This work was done by the
squaws. The Indian name of
corn was maize. Corn is now a
commercial crop between United
States and other countries.
Europe leads all other coun-
tries in producing corn.
In Texas corn is planted in
February and March.
The ground is plowed up into
beds three feet wide. A furrow
is then opened down the middle
six inches deep, into which the
planter drops the corn. In about
two weeks the corn begins to
come up, In about three weeks
il is plowed, and then it is thin
ned until the stalks are three
feet apart, so as to make strong
and healthy stalks of corn. 1t is
plowed twice more during the
season, after which it is left to
mature. In September. land o.
tober it is gathered and put into
the barns. When the corn first
forms on the ear We pull it and
cook it and call it roasting ears.
The green tops are cut from the
stalks and tied in bundles and
dried and this is called fodder,
which makes q valuable food for
horses. The green stalk is some
times crushed and the juice is
made into syrup. The young
corn also gives US corn starch.
The old corn is ground into corn
meal which is used for bread.
In selecting seed for a new
crop take the large well shaped
ears, shell an inch off at the bot
tom and top, using the middle
only for planting.

The Girl at the other End.

~ MI az NAAS - ~AA~A AfAA~
Under the heading, 1.-THE Lady Of
the Telephone" the Baltimore Sun
had this to say:
"She is more than FIVE feet tall she
is 95 per cent, unmarried, she is neat,
she is quick, she is never deaf or
dumb. she is invisible when most eff
fective-she is the girl who must be
consulted before you can get the tele-
phone you want. Though not much
of mathematician, she deals in num-
bers, Wholesale and retail adds st.

"Thc government experts find that
she can answer 226 calls a minute
without shedding hairpin, but do
OF mention that she can give you the
same wrong number three times in five
minutes and cause attacks of apoplex
and indignation at both ends of the
wire.'
"She must be either very patient or
very Indifferent, this operator in the
conversation exchange, for she deals
with many men of many tempers and
many women of many tongues And
if she can manage this successfully
and emerge from day of conflict
| with unruffled temper and smiling face
she must be wonder.
"There she sits, this lady of the tel
ephone, calm, polite, like Patience on
monument, smiling at Rage. From
out of the wreck of matter and the ruin
OF worlds comes undisturbed her even

"She is in truth one of the wonders
of the world. Telephoning is. trying
to the nerves, frazzeling 10 the pa
thence, stimulating to the vocabulary
of profanity, destructive of the virtue
of chivalry, death to the habit of
courtesy"
"The majority of users of the tele-
ephone know as little of the workings
of the system as an African savage
knows about the gyroscope. Nearly

WILL SOON FILE ANSWER
Attorneys viii File Answer in Case
Brought by n. d. McKilIip
Against City of Pullman.

City attorney d. c. Dow, assisted
by Attorney J w Mathews. will
represent the city of Pullman in the
case brought by n. D. McKillip to
recover $4,000 damages for injuries
received by falling through a side
walk near the city hall about the
tenth of last March. The case has
been pending for long time, but
the attorneys for the city announce
that they will file their answer to the
complaint within a few days The
attorneys will make their case on the
grounds. of contributary negligence,
claiming that McKilip was at the
time of the accident suffering from
nocturnal blindness, which made it
impossible for him to distinguish OBJ
pened a few days after the floods of
last March, when all the sidewalks
in the city were in a bad state, but
McKillip claims that he would not
have fellen if light had been placed
near the place where the walk had
been washed away. His first claim
was for about $500, which would
probably have been settled out of
court by the city but soon afterward
he put in a supplemental claim for
$500 more for injuries which he.
claims are permanent. The case
will probably come to trial soon after
the answer is filed with the super
Tor court and the outcome will be
watched with interest.

Miss OriIla Miner of Pullman Has
Large and Enthusiastic Glass in
China Decoration at tho
County Seat.

Miss Orilla e. Miner of this city
and a graduate of Washington State
College, is conducting a class in
china decoration work at Colfax
That the young lady's work is appre-
ciated at Colfax as it is in her home

Gle which appeared in last weeks is
sue of the Colfax Gazette
1t may not be generally known
that a large class in Colfax is engag-
ed in china decoration work, but
such is the case and remarkable pro-
gress is being made. Two rooms
have been fitted up for use of the
class in the second story of the Waite
building on Main street, and here
the class meets every Tuesday after
noon for instruction from the teach
er, Miss o. E. Miner of Pullman.
1t should be stated in this connec-
ton that Miss Miner has an art
class in Pullman and is a graduate
of the Washington State College
She is also a graduate of the Chicago
Art Institute, where she studied for
year. Any one interested in look

FARMER ENDS HIS LIFE
ON CHRISTMAS
MORNING
q. W. Walker, Rich Retired Farmer.
Commits Suicide in Bickford ~
Hathaway Woodyard.

G. W. Walker, retired farmer
who had made his home in Pullman
for the past two years, shot himself
in the head last Sunday morning.
dying instantly Mr.. Walker arose
early in the morning and wrote
note to the effect that his body would
be found in the Bickford 4 Hatha-
way woodward, and stating that sui
eide was better than the insane asy,
lum. At about 1880 Mrs. Chase,
who lives near the woodward, saw
Mr. Walker standing beneath shed
putting on his coat Soon afterward
a shot was heard ana her son looked
out of the window just in time to see
the dead man stagger and fall.
When the note left by Mr.. Walker
was found by his family Marshal
Baymiller was notified and went at
once to the place named, where the
body was found. The coroner was
notified and he instructed Marshal
Baymiller to turn the body over to
an undertaken as an inquest was
thought unnecessary.
Mr.. Walker had been in i'll health
for some time and this is probably
the cause Of his deed. Ii is thought
by many that tho man was temper
arily deranged. Frank Henderson,
who lives on farm five miles from
Pullman, found Mr. Walker in his
barn late Saturday night lie had
walked to the place and was in a
daZed condition.
Mr. Walker had lived on farm
three miles north Of this city for
many years, but about two years ago
disposed Of the farm and calae to
Pullman, purchasing the Perry Law
renee home on Maiden Lane. He
had been in III health for a number
of years and had visited several
health resorts. He failed to improve
and at times was very respondent
Funeral services We're held Mon
day, interment being in the cemetery
west OF town.
George w. Walker was born near
South Sparta, Dearborn county, Ind,
September %, 1855, and his undme-
ly death occurred Dee. %, 1910; he
being 55 years, months and 5 days
of age. He spent his early life in
Indiana, but when he was about
twenty years Of age was compelled
to go to Kansas for his health Dur
ing this period of his life he taught
several terms in the public school.
On March 7th, 1888, he was united
in marriage to Stella Anthony, at
Delaware, Ind, and to the union
were born four children, all of
whom, with the mother, survive him.
The children are Ray A., Edna E.,
Glenn 8. and Robert NJ.
In 1888 Mr.. and Mrs Walker came
to Idaho, locating near Kendrick,
but later moved to the immediate
vicinity OF Moscow. In 1904 the
family came to this locality, living
on tho farm a few miles north of
Pullman until two years ago, when
they moved to Pullman. In his Dist
year Mr. Walker united with the
United Brethren church, but few
years later both he and his wife
entered tho fellowship OF the M. e.
church. Since 1892 the deceased
had been a member of the Modern
Woodmen Of tho World.
