TO INCREASE CORN YIELD
H. s. MORLEY DELIVERING LEG TURES TO BOYS
 CLUB.

Little Rock, Jan. 6.-H. s. Mobley of the agricultural department of Fayetteville, but who has charge of the boys corn club work in Arkansas, is now delivering lectures to the diff ferent corn clubs in the selection of seed, and hopes to raise the average corn yield in Arkansas from 19 to 60 bushels an acre through his talks to the boys. He arrived in Little Rock yesterday on his way to counties in eastern Arkansas to take up the work there.
 Mr. Mobley gives the boys corn clubs in each county a notice in ad- vance of his coming, and his lectures are being attended by large per cent of the members. The lecturer shows 5he boys what kind of ear is the stand ard and goes with them over many ears in order to show them how to ral.c the selection. He points out to the boys that there are $500 corn hills to the acre, and with each hill making a stalk which will raise a single ear weighin one pound. yield of 60 bushels is received, where, with the present system, only one pound is raised on four hills. MT. Mobley shows them that it is in the selection of the seed that the difference is made, and so hrshple of corn can be raised on the same land, and with the same i work as 19 bushels, by selecting the proper seed. He is also advising the planting of home grown seed, saying 1t does the hest. By talking to the bows Mr. Mobley thinks the farmers will soon be taught how to select seed, and Arkansas will then begin to be looked upon as a corn raising state.

GENERAL CLAYTON TALKS
SAYS TAFT WILL APPOINT RIGHT MAN FOR POST
 MASTER.

Little Rock, Jan. 6-General Pow ell Clayton yesterday arrived from Washington and ever since he reached the city has been beseiged by dozens of applicants for postal appointments who seem to think he has the dispen- sation of the pie. General Clayton is one of the most cautious men Tn na- tional politics, and before he will all low an interview given by him to be printed, he has to inspect the copy after it has been written. He then crosses out line after line until all is left is an expression of high regard for the president, and the statement that the president can always be counted on to do the right thing as he sees it. General Clayton gave out one of the same old interviews soon after his arrival, and as usual, failed to state anything whcih would cast a light upon any favored post office as pirant, where there was opposition. ne ilkeWlSe ueiliSt Iiott Ilt ito po"Cl more than any good strong man on the committee, and intimated he did not like the way he has been termed the Republican political boss of Ar kansas.
 General Clayton came a day ahead in order to meet with other members of the committee, and yesterday af- ternoon held quite a levee. He is to- day meeting the postmastership can didates one at time, and if the visits are cut short enough, will reach the end of the string ky midnight. There are about 60 applicants for appoint ments now in the city, and the balance will be in during the day ready to take their chances before the commit tee when it meets tomorrow. The postmasters will meet today and select rules which will govern the contests between them. The big meeting be- gins tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in the Lincoln club rooms. The rooms are so small it is probable the com mittee will go immediately into eXecu- tive session and send for each cand date as he is needed.

What Will Price Be?

The bids on concrete paving are to
|'be opened in the city council meeting
tonight and the wonder today Is as to
what will the price be. Fond du Lac
got the same paving a month ago for
$1.26 per square yard The difference
in cost Of materials Is only 6k cents
per square yard of paving more in
Marshalltown than in Fond du Lac. the
lime rock is more and sand less with
labor and cement the same. The price
here should be s1.32a. If it is more
than $1.40 the bids should all be thrown
out Usage has let concrete paving at
$1.39 within the last two weeks. Mason
City got hers for $1.26 this spring and
Clarinda at $3.50.
If the bids are too high new bids
can be called within ten days or even
If contract had to be let in Deem
Der for work to begin early in the
spring we would lose only the winter
months use of the paving as no paw
ing could be completed now much be-
fore winter If any man had a large
building to erect he would not let his
contract at the heighth Of the build
ing season when everybody is rushed
with work He would let 1t in the
