ported Last Week.

ported Last WEEK.
The statement made in these items last
week that A. c. Christopher was arrest
ed with Davis, the lunch cart proprietor,
for violating the cigarette law, was
erroneous, the result of transformation.

resents sharing the ignomlny OF the as

An alarm of fire last Thursday morn
ing about $50 brought out the popula-
ton in hot haste to discover the difficulty
was in L. F. Farrar's restaurant under
Ide's block. The fremen did good work
in combining the fire within a short
radius. They were obliged to cut holes
in the partitions and turn the water in
there. which deluged Parker's store. The
damage is not as great as at first feared,
being confined to the restaurant, the
water damage to Parker's store and
damage to the block. Insurance adjust
ers are now in town figuring on the
probable loss. The origin of the fire is
little in dispute, but it came in some way
from the ignition of gas from the gaso-
line stove. This is the fifth fire in this
block which was burned down once be-
fore the big fire, once in the big fire of
1894, once in 1899, and has had two
minor fires since.

Good Seed Corn for 1910.

AT the present time a wave
of apprehension concerning good
seed corn for the coming season
is sweeping the corn belt. In
many localities in Missouri corn
was late in maturing, and fall
rains prevented early huskil To
add to the seriousness of the case
an almost unparalleled early cold
wave has swept the country and
the vitality Of the wet, often i'm
mature, corn has been seriously
injured. Seed corn placed in rath-
er open cribs and pens will also
be seriously damaged because it
did not have time to dry out suf-
ficiently before the cold wave
came on.
If this damaged corn is used in
the spring for seed very poor
stands will result. This will
mean the choice of replanting or
of taking a chance with a very

The names of two prominent
millionaire bankers, John r.
Walsh and Charles w. Morse
have recently been added to the
bankers roster in the federal
prisons at Leavenworth, Kansas,
and Atlanta, Georgia. This leads
US to remark that all rich cul-
prits do not escape punishment
and that the difference between
the rich and poor criminal is
that the rich man can carry his
case through every court. The
rich have the advantage in having
the greatest number of judges
possible to review their case--.tO

takes of lower courts thereby

only by the strictest adherence

imperfect stand of corn.
If seed corn has been saved
early in the season and put in a
good dry place, the owner is safe.
AS it only takes about IA ears to
plant an acre, the culling out of
injured ones this year will be
the most profitable work of the
season. If the farmer must de-
pend on selection from the crib,
the following plan is suggested.
Make a box about 3 feet square
and 4 inches deep. Fill to one
inch of the top with sand or saw
dust and moisten thoroughly, not
saturated Cut a piece of muslin
to fit the box, divide in squares
2 inches each way by ruling with
a yard stick and lead pencil. Mum
Der each square-then number
ears to correspond. Take ten
kernels from various parts OF each
ear and place in the square with
proper number. Place another
square of well moistened muslin
over the corn, then throw seN eral
t~hickeneSSeS of muslin or old
sacks over the top to prevent dry
ing too quickly. Set tfe boy UNI
der the stove where there is a
constant temperature of 75 to
to 80 Fahrenheit. Moisten the
top muslin well every othar day
and replace cover. Save for plant
ing only those ears which had at
least s kernels to produce good
thrifty plants in 5 to Z days. In
two days actual time one man
can test enough corn to plant so
acres and by getting germinable
seed can frequently increase his
crop 5 to 10 per cent.
Make your tests nov 50 that if
you fail to find sufficient gcrmin-
able seed you can buy from a
neighbOr who has saved seed
corn early, or a reliable breeder
in your community. Failing that,
write to the Missouri Agricultur.
al Experiment Station for address
es of reliable seed corn breeders
of the various varieties.

Needless and Dangerous Pub.
lefty"

Whatever may be said about
the constitutiOnality or the wis
dom of the corporation income
tax itself, few business men in
the country will dissent from the
view unanimously expressed by
the Chicago conference of manu-
facturers and merchants on the
publicity features of it.
The publicity which is demand
ed of public utility corporations
is wholesome. The publicity urged
on the great consultations and
trusts in the interest of fair deal
ing and of that confidence and
good will that are admittedly es-
sential to their own prosperity Is
a publicity which would hamper
no honest enterprise. But the sort
and degree of publicity which
the corporation tax law impreses
Unfortunately on all the cor
porations of the country is mis-
chievous and dangerous.
As the resolutions of the con
ferense declare, this publicity
would remedy no evil and prtven
no wrong. 1t would merely place
the small and weak corporation
at the mercy of Inscriptions ri
walls; it would put new weapons
into the hands of the greedy and
the dishonest.
To force needless publicity as
to income, profits or lOsSe re-
sources and business on corpora
tions that enjoy no special priv
ileges, that have adopted the
corporate form of organization
solely from motives of conven-
fence, that have done nothing
to require penalization, is to de-
part from all sound American
principles of legislation and adj
m%inistratiOn.
Few understood the extent and
character of the publicity clauses
of the act at the time of IFS pas
sage, and now business men
everywhere are appalled, at them.
Congress should heed public SEN
timent and without delay elimin-
ate or radically modify these
clauses.-Chicago Record-Herald.
