New York, October 31.-Miss Hortense M. Harder, who returned from school in Paris on the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria on Sunday accompanied by her mother, was involved in a customs investigation today because she ignored the advice of her father to declare everything dutiabie. The father, Victor A. Harder, wealthy Brooklyn contractor. went to the custom house today and strengthened out the tan gle as far as possible.

 "Don't worry, papa, mother and I will declare everything"
 Notwithstanding this promise customs inspectors found seven undeclared gowns. They were seized and to obtain them to- day MT. Harder was forced to pay their fuil value in addition to 60 per cent duty, ssss in all In view of the fathers atti- tude no further action will be taken in the ease

 CONTRADICTIONS

Los Angeles, October a.-Witnesses in the Times explosion case testified before the coroner's jury today that free gas was present in large volumes in the build- ing on the night the explosion occurred.

Hardy Cornett of Pell City has just gathered 293 bushels of good corn from five acres of ordinary sandy land on his farm in St. Clair county. The land had been in cultivation for number of years and ten years ago would have been classed as wornout and of but little value. But this is new era of agricul- ture It has been discovered that lands never wear out if properly managed They may be made to produce more and more every succeeding year.
 After gathering the corn MT. Cornett put three mules to disc blow and be- gan to prepare the soil for the next years crop. This Is the secret of MT. Cornetts success in raising corn.

 He has just gathered 75 bushels Of corn from one acre of poor, gray, gray ely, piney woods land. This was the first year the land has been cultivated and was full of stumps. Besides this the late frosts and heavy rains last spring interfered greatly with the young plants He had to replant the land in some places twice before he had a stand.
 MT Gather also gathered from three fourths of an acre 165 bushels of Dooley Yam potatoes.
 On the acre where he gathered the 75 bushels of corn he planted cabbages. Two hundred of these will head up well and viii add to the profit from his one acre. The cabbages were planted in the corn middleS.
