Kansas City Star: With thirteen
new taxicabs of the Walden w. Shaw

Now, Kansas Citians have lopg

But the taximeter is something else.
Even Mr.. Hertz admits 1t, and John

knows as much as any other living
man concerning the wiles and wig

COST OF DEAD EARS.
One Good Ear, Containing 1000 ker-
nels, Should Produce IL Bushels.

One Good Ear, Containing 1000 ker-
nels, Should Produce II Bushels.
Take the average ear of corn-it
contains from 900 to 1000 kernels.
Each kernel planted should produce a
stalk, each stalk an ear. A good ear
planted should produce from 900 to
1000 stalks, and each stalk an ear. A
dead ear planted will produce nothing
that means a loss of 1000 ears or
twelve and one-half bushels.
Twelve good ears of corn of average
size will plant an acre. Think how
the yield is cut down when one or
more of these twelve ears are not
capable of pro" ucing corn.
Tests in NJ Oraska show that not
only one ear il. twelve, but nine ears
in twelve are unfit to plant. Farmers
who have been producing from forty
to seventy bushels per acre during the
good seasons of the last few years,
will produce from fifteen to thirty
bushels if INFESTED seed corn is plant
ed this year.

WOOD HOPES FOR VICTORY.
Rapid City Attorney Will Enter Conf
IDENTIFY Race for Governor.

Rapid City, S. D., Feb. 2S.-An-
ernor on the democratic ticket is ex-
pected shortly from Chauncey l..
Wood, present mayor and states at
torney of Rapid City, and one of the
best known democrats in the state.
The boom for Mr. Wood has been gain
of the democrats at Huron, where 1t
was the sentiment of those present
that Mr.. Wood was the most available
man to make the biennial sacrifice.
Some weeks ago E. S. Johnson, also
of Rapid City, and present democratic
national committeeman from this
state, was the general favorites OF the
party. Mr.. Johnson is progressive in
his policies, but conservative in judg.
ment and would undoubtedly have
drawn from the republican strength
with the present factional differences
continuing to split the party wide, but
he could not be prevailed upon to
make the race.
Mr.. Wood has other ideas about the
battle at the polls next November.
His friends assert that he not only is
not averse to making the run but also
does not regard it in the light of sac
rifice. He believes democrat will
have more than passing chance
Chauncey l.. Wood is one OF the
early day settlers Of the Black Hills
and known throughout the state as a
lawyer Of ability. He is So years old
and native of Jones county. Ia, be-
ing graduate of both Cornell college
and the state university of that state.
In 1893 he led forlorn hope of his
party as it's candidate for state SUI
preme court judge, the year previous
having run for congress from the
Hills. He was first elected mayor OF
Rapid City in 1894 and altogether has
served the city six terms in that ca
pacity, being now both mayor and
states attorney. He has always been
known as a liberal declining to iden-
tify himself with the radicals on either
side of the liquor question but stand
ing for personal rights.
Mr.. Wood owns much real estate
here and some in Seattle, and has
some cattle interests in Wyoming.

these men have from twenty to 200
acres of corn in the field and In
spite of every effort to get II out
have been stalled from day to day
and from week to week until now
they are as the saying goes between
the devil and the deep blue sea"
What Is to be done under the cir
stances is what is bothering most
of them and especially the renter who
must get off the place and give way
to the new man. He cant very well
sell the crop to his successor and
he cant very well come back and
pick it as he must get busy and
get settled on the new place. If the
weather should break away and an
early spring open on us unexpectedly
and heavy rains begin to fall it means
practically a total loss of the corn
now in the field and now comes the
stratling information that practically
none of the 1910 crop 1" fit for seed
purposes. 1t is certainly peculiar
situation.

Something About PAVING Material

James F. Toy, president of the Citi-
zens National bank of Norfolk, in writ.
ing to give his sanction to signing the
paving petition, gives considerable
valuable information with regard to
the subject of paving materials He
says that asphalt costs less than brick
and creosote blocks more than brick.
Mr.. Toy says in part:
| quote from report made by our Mr..
Ballachey, taken from the city engi-
neer's office:
Brick paving in Sioux City costs
$208 per square yard. We use Des
Moines and Galesburg, ILL.,, brick; one
as good as the other. The concrete
base is four inches thick, made one
part Portland cement, three parts
good sharp sand, five parts crushed
granite to pass a one and one-fourth
ring. There is an inch of sand laid on
concrete as a cushion for the brick !;
and for filler, we sometimes use a
'grout' made thin and poured in, one
part Portland cement, two parts sand,
and sometimes a pitch filler poured on
hot; this deadens noise-but find that
dry sand brushed in makes as good a
to grade, it is an extra to bring it to
grade, etc. Asphalt costs $2.O5 SO. yd.
on four inches concrete. Creosote
block, $3.50 so. yd., on four inches
concrete"
You will notice that the asphalt will
not cost as much as your brick paving
and the creosote blocks will cost more.
We do not have brick on any of our
principal business streets, but there
was about half mile put in on East
Fourth street last year. The creosote
blocks are more durable than either
brick or asphalt and the most econom.
ical paving in the long run of which l
am informed.
We had quite time here last year
to get our city council to substitute
the creosote for asphalt on Fourth
street, which is our principal down.
town business street, but our people
were almost unanimous, after making
careful investigation, Of the creo-
sote block. The Creosote Is free from
the noise of the brick and lasts longer.
| assume the material will cost no
more at Norfolk than it costs in Sioux
City, and if so, the price should not be
higher than it is in Sioux City.
You will take note as to the manner
in which it should be put in, as we
have had on one side of our building
on Jackson and also upon Nebraska
street, where we have recently put in
new paving, to pillow up the old So
called concrete foundation
A man of unquestioned integrity and
ability should be appointed superin-
tendent and see that the concrete base
is put in in accord with the specifica-
lions; otherwise, your surface, / care
not what it may be, will be unsatisfac-
tory.

The News: The Lamro Townsite com
pany was incorporated here at big
meeting of all those who sometime
ago contracted for the quarter section
of land a mile and a half north OF

The land was bought under con-
tract and $1,000 was paid down the

chasers have moved to Winner ana
they were present at the meeting ana
asked that they be allowed to BUY
the land or that what money they
had put into the deal be refunded 10
them. However, the Lamro people
could not see either one of these prop
ositions and proceeded to incorporate
the company leaving those from Win
ner entirely out of the deal so 1ar
as officers and directors are concern

Holt County Deputy.

Holt County independent: p. c..
Kelly resigned last Saturday as a
member of the board of supervisors
and will accept the deputyship from
County Clerk s. f. McNichols on
March l. Mr.. Kelley was making a
splendid supervisor and we very much
regret that he has resigned even to
accept better position. Frank Camp
bell has his petition filed for the va
cancy and we believe he will be ap-
pointed. Frank has every qualifica-
ton for a splendid supervisor and will
serve the people well. The place is
a hard one to fill and satisfy every
body, but we believe that Frank can
come as near as anybody.
