Free Seed Corn.

Why not quit raising scrub"
corn? Why not plant enough pure
bred seed this spring to supply you
for the future? There is as much
difference between scrub" corn and
pure bred corn as there is between
a scrub" steer and a pure bred
steer, Pure bred corn will produce
a much larger yield per acre than
ordinary seed. Until further notice
the Farmer and Breeder, published
mt Columbia, Mo-, will give away
free a quart of pure bred corn with
every new subscription. A quart will
plant quarter of an acre and give
you all the pure seed you need for
future use. The Farmer and Breed

The Old Farm.

When the busy day is over, with its
anxious hopes and fears,
And the telephone stops ringing
and the last clerk disappears,
With a sigh l lean back weary in
my swinging Office chair
And my thoughts 90 back to child
hood and the old farm that is there.
l can see the dear old homestead
broad and low beneath the trees,
And the row Of shining milk pans
summing in the fresh, sweet breeze
can see the barn and horses, and
the orchard on the hill,
Where we gathered golden pippins
for the old straw cider mill.
can see the cattle standing meath
the willows of the brook.
Where l used to fish for minnows
with a bent pin for hook;
And the pond where grew the lilies
that my mother used to prize =
Oh, the light of heavens shining
now within those dear old eyes.
And | sigh while fancy fingers DER
each we'll known pleasant sense
Of the happy days of boyhood
thrown by memory on the screen
And I'd give all have gained since
all my wealth and treasure rare,
To 90 back again to childhood and
the old farm that is there.

FAULTY CENSUS CHARGES
HOT AIR. SAYS FARMER
Supervisor Declares SO Per Cent
of City's Population Was
Enumerated

"There is no truth in the reports
which have been circulated that the
work of the census enumerators has
been done in a slovenly and careless
manner" said Supervisor Bert l..
Farmer yesterday. Records now on
file in the office show that every block
in the city has been covered. While 1t
is true that a misunderstanding of the
boundaries of their districts by two Of
the enumerators resulted in a block on
one street not being canvassed at the
time when it should have been, the in
spectors of the districts soon discovered
the fault and it was corrected.
"Many reports have been received at
the office that entire blocks, and in
some cases whole streets, had been
overlooked. In every case except the
one cited, the records of the enumera-
tor for the district showed a complete
list of the residents of the district re-
ported.
"Tracing down the mistaken reports
of blocks overlooked has convinced me
that every block in the city has been
canyassed by the enumerators, and
while every person in each block may
not have been counted, l still am cer-
tain that the percentage of the popula-
ton which has been enumerated will
not be less than so per cent.
"Work in the outside territory is pro-
crossing favorably, but in some pre-
cincts, notably Redondo Beach and AL
hambra, the districts are rather large
for one enumerator and it will require
hard work to cover them by May 15.'

ESTABLISH HOME FOR MEN
WHO ARE OUT OF WORK

The Episcopal church Of the diocese
of Los Angeles has been doing aggres-
sive missionary work within the past
year. One of the latest institutions to
be established by this department is
the Hadley Memorial home at 1928 East
Fourteenth street, which was founded
for men who are out of work Men
who are found deserving are sent to
this home and cared for until suitable
employment can be secured for them
At present six men are in the home
awaiting employment
In this department the church has
been very successful and the work or
the home which was first opened in
March has proved the value of the ex-
pertinent. This home has long been a
desire of Bishop Johnson, who has Sc
cured j. C. Willoughby to care for the
home. Mr.. Willoughby is himself an
invalid the son of prominent resident
of Ventura, and is devoting himself to
this work.
The home was named in memory or
Col. H. H. Hadley well known city
missionary in New York, whose son,
w. T. Hadley, is chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the work.
1t is expected to enlarge the scope
of the home and to secure larger quar-
ters for the work.

DECISION WILL SAVE
CITY $4,000 A YEAR
|. C. C. Findings in Switching
Case of Great Benefit to
Local Business Men

Los Angeles will save more than
$250,O00 annually by the decision of the
interstate commerce commission in
which the $3.50 switching charge i'm
posed by the railroads on the jobbers
and manufacturers here for placing
cars on industrial tracks in the city is
declared to be illegal. This important
decision also removes a great barrier
to the city becoming an industrial CEN
ter, for big manufacturing enterprises
that would not locate here so long as
that arbitrary switching charge was
imposed will now flock to Los Angeles,
take advantage of the vast electrical
energy to be supplied by the owens
river power plants provided by the
recent bond election, and will build and
maintain immense industries previously
considered impossible, because of the
excessive and unreasonable act of the
railroads in discouraging harbor and
industrial traffic.
One immense manufacturing COM
pany 1t was stated yesterday, has
long been awaiting the outcome of the
suit and now will go ahead with i'm
portant plans for the erection of
large manufacturing business here.
While the decision applies only to in
terstate traffic, the general opinion of
all shippers and jobbers is that the
state railroad board must of necessity
follow it with a similar decision af-
fecting state traffic.
BY this decision of the interstate
commerce commission it is believed also
that the way now is paved for Los
Angeles shippers to seek reparation for
the excessive and unjust charges they
have been compelled to pay in the
past. Just how far back they can go,
and hope to collect. is not certain, but
it is said by attorneys they can seek
reparation back for the last two years
before the switching case was started,
which was in August, 1908 If this is
true, they may collect from the rail-
roads the excessive charges paid for
the last three and a half years.
The decision is the outcome of the
energetic and persistent work of Fred
P. Gregson, who, as traffic manager of
the Associated Jobbers, filed the com
plant and worked up the evidence in
the case. Kuster, Loeb & Loeb acted
as the attorneys for the jobbers
1t is stated that the Cudahy Packing
company alone sometimes pays out
$100 day in switching charges when
it. brings in a consignment of cattle.
The Globe flour mills have paid out
an average of $4,000 year.

WAKE UP, DOzER! TAKE
PEEP At HALLEY'S COMET
Hop Upin Early Morn and See the
Long Sky Flyer Wag
Its Tail

Halley's comet is daily becoming
more plainly visible at Lick observa-
tory, and in spite of the presence of
strong moonlight in the morning hours,
photographs have been obtained show
ing a tail of twelve degrees, or more
than 100000 miles in length. Com
mencing this morning, observers who
are not hampered by the glare of cleo
trio lights should get good view of
the comet until May 16 or II, when It
will be obscured for a few days as 1t
passes the sun, after which 1t Will be
visible in the evening"
At present, says w. w. Campbell
director of the Lick observatory, the
comet appears about ten degrees above
the horizon, in the eastern sky, near
Venus. 1t will be seen a little to the
north of Venus, and a little further
above the horizon, with the tail point
ing upward and to the right, directly
away from the sun.
After being obscured by the sun, the
appearance of the comet Will be
dimmed for several evenings by the
brilliance of the moon, until the even
ing of May %, when the comet will
eclipse the moon for 81 minutes. begin
ming at 9;09 o'clock and continuing until
10 o'clock.
on May 25 the comet will set four
hours after sunset, before the rising
of the moon, and for the next two
weeks good view will be obtained,
although 1t will rapidly grow fainter
and will appear further to the south
each evening.
Spectrum photographs obtained by
Astronomer Wright have shown bright
lines, due to the presence of sodium,
carbon and cyanogen, and have also
shown that the greater part of the light
of the nucleus forms a continuous
spectrum, probably due to reflected
light from the sun.
On May a total eclipse of the sun by
the comet will be visible for a few
minutes over very small area south
Of Australia.
