What One More Ear OF Corn Would

Do.
Professor p. G. Holden, OF Iowa,
shows what benefit to his State just
enc more ear of corn to each hill on
every corn field would do. He says:
-If one more little ear OF corn to
each hill were added it would mean a
half million dollars more for every
one Of the ninety-nine counties of the
State. Ten bushels more of corn to
each acre planted would make $780,
100000 more to be added to the
total OF Iowa's wealth each year. Our
present average yield for Iowa is
only thirty-five bushels to the acre.
The cause for this poor yield is barren
seed corn, and the remedy is the test
ing of every ear to be planted and the
selection Of the best seed corn for
planting"

The Abnormal Appetite of Cattle.

DR.. David Roberts, Wisconsin State
Veterinarian, says many cattle with
an abnormal appetite have a strong
desire to lick the walls, dirt and filth
that healthy animal would have no
desire for. This would indicate a de-
rangement OF the digestive organs.
If animals thus afflicted are neg
lected they will soon run down in
flesh, drop off in their milk and be-
come bill of expense rather than a
profitable animal.
To overcome this trouble the ami
NAL should be given good, clean, nu-
tritious, digestible feed and with
same tonic to regulate the digestive
organs.
Oftentimes an animal thus afflicted
is disposed Of at an unreasonably
small amount, and if by chance this
animal is purchased by one we'll
versed in the care and treatment of
such animals. is converted into a
profitable animal at very little ex-

Do Indians Need More Land?

As provided for by a concurrent
resolution OF the last general assem-
Oily, Gov. Ansel has appointed a COM
mission to examine into the request
OF the Catawba Indians and make
report relative to lands for the tribe.
The members of the commission are:
Z. Wy. F. Spencer, Rock Hill; Frank
G. Whitner, Rock Hill, and W. w.
Lewis, Yorkville.
1t Is required by the resolution
that this commission make a thor
ough investigation Of the conditions
OF the Catawba Indians and report to
Gov Ansel by january l Of next
year.
The Catawba Indians now occupy.
about 600 acres of land. The COM
mission will investigate and decide
whether more land should be allotted
to them and take options on lands
without cost to the State.
The members Of the commission
are to receive SIS per day for every
day actually engaged in the work as
outlined in the resolution of the gen.
eral assembly.
Complaint About Inspection Grain.
There has been some misunder-
standing and some complaint on the
part OF merchants of this State in
connection with the enforcement Of
the food inspection act passed at the
1910 session of the general assembly.
One OF the main questions that has
arisen is In regard to stock of food
liable TO tax on hand. Mr.. Watson
says If stock on hand was received
before May and he receives salts.
factory statement to this effect, he
will issue orders relieving this stock
OF the tags. But stock received since
May l must carry stamps as it is
sold to the consumer y
The principle cause of complaint,
among merchants is that they are
required to watch out for damaged
goods. They are told by inspectors
that if bad meal, grits or other
grain come into the store, such stuff
will be confiscated. The merchants
argue that they will be unable to
detect any slight damage in a sack Of
corn or meal.
The dealers say that it would man
ifestly be impossible for them in busy
season to examine all the grain that
come into their stores and see that
all OF it is absolutely pure. Even if
they could examine it, they say that
1T would also be impossible for them
to tell what the standard is, as they
are not experts. 1t is argued that the
merchants deal in other goods, there
fore, are not specializers enough to
be experts in the matter Of grain.
The rules and regulations explain
the foodstuffs act and copies of this
law have been sent out to jobbers and
manufacturers. 1t will take some
time for the law to run smoothly. In
the meantime there is some trouble
in its enforcement.

 FOR SIMPLE LIFE
Rose Murray Gives Advice
 to Stage-struck Girls

You stage-struck girls listen to this. It contains a bit of advice from Rose Murray, one of the principals of "The Gingerbread Man, which will be at Dreamland theater for one night only, February 23. Her one ambition, she says, is to get out of the profession and lead life of domesticity.
 Now it is not case of failure with Miss Murray, for she has succeeded. She plays a prominent part in the cast, that of Margery Daw. Miss Murray is talented, winsome and good looking. She has been on the stage four years.
 ''It was not that my artistic tempera- ment would mt be stayed, but it was the need of money that drove me to the stage,'' said Miss Murray "Of cours, every one wants to succeed. Now if I was tall and stately, 1 would like to do dramatic work (Miss Murray is under medium weight), straight dramat- ic work. But a young woman of my inches has to have a play built around her and that takes pull which I don t possess. Let me once get enough of the sheckels and it will be back to the simple life for me, life of home and domestic happiness"
 That the gay, dashing soubrette, who is the Chit" of "The Gingerbread Man." could give expression to such thoughts will, no doubt, be surprising to those who may have seen her, but then even appearances are deceiving She is full of life and her sparkling good humor has won her many friends

A WOMAN WHO UNDERSTANDS.

Somewhere she waits to make you
win,
Your soul in her firm, white hands
Somewhere the gods have made for
The woman who understands.
AS the tide went out she found him,
Lashed to the spar Of despair
The wreck of his ship around him,
The wreck of his dreams in the
air
Found him, and loved him, and gath
cred
The soul of him to her heart;
The soul that had sailed an unchart-
ed sea-
The soul that had sought to win ana
be free
The soul Of which she was part;
And there in the dark she cried to
the man:
win your battle-you can-you can
Helping and loving and guiding,
Urging when that was best;
Holding her fears in hiding
Deep in her quiet breast;
This is the woman who Ike him
True to his standards lost
When tossed in the storm and stress
and strife,
He thouht himself through with the
game of life
And ready to pay the cost;
Watching and guarding-whispering
still,
."Win-you can--and know you Will.
This is the story of the ages; (
This is the womans way;
Wiser than scores of sages,
Lifting us day by day;
Facine all things with a courage
Nothing can daunt 'or dim;
Treading lifes path wherever 1t leaus'
lined with flowers or choked WIN
weeds,
Rut ever with him-wfth him;
Guardian comrade and golden spur,
The men who win are helped by her.
Somewhere she waits, strong in be-
lief,
your soul in her firm white hanos;
Thank we'll the gods when she comes
to you--
The woman VINO understands.
