SPAR FOR POSITION.
Attorneys Connected With Swope Case
Continue to Clash.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 18.-One set
of attorneys arranging to bring import
ant witnesses into the notarial court
with writs of attachment in order to
get their dispositions in DR.. Hyde's
damage suit and the opposing attorneys
planning TO secure temporary injunc-
ton to stop the taking of dispositions rep
resented the scheme of battle in the
Swope case scheduled for today. In
the meantime the grand jury continues
it's investigation.
Miss Lucy Lee Swope yesterday ig-
nored a subpoena, following the lead
of others.
1--WE have waited day after day for
the witnesses we had legally subpoe-
Eaed,' said Attorney Frank Walsh to-
day. 1--WE will issue writs of attach
ment for Miss Swope. Miss Pearl KEEL
lar, the nurse, and perhaps others
The attorneys representing John G.
Paxton, contend that the Hyde attor-
neys have forfeited their right to take
dispositions and they have announced
that an Injunction suit will be brought
in the circuit court at Independence to
stop the taking of these dispositions.
1t is believed that a clash between
the Hyde forces and Virgil Conkling
the county prosecutor also is inevita-
Bile.
The witnesses appearing before the
grand jury have been subpoenaed by
Hyde's attorneys, but the county pros
ecutor still declines to dismiss them
Hyde's attorneys assert that this at
titude is unfair to their client.

The Able Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric juice,
but it was by the careful and convlnc-
ing experiments of Beaumont that the
foundation of our exact knowledge d
its composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, To-
Gated at an obscure military post IN
Michigan, while it was yet territory,
and was called upon to treat gun shot
wound of the stomach in Canadian
Voyageur- Alexis St. Martin When the
wound healed a permanent opening was
left by means of which food could be
placed in the stomach and gastric
juice taken from it.
Beaumont made scientific experiments
with his crude means and wrote book,
which today is recognized among the
classics of physiology.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists so that today medicine knows
what the stomach does with food and
what food does to the stomach
Science also knows what the gastric
juices are and how to make them best
for the system.

LEARNING TO SPELL
Exciting Contest at Dougherty's Bust
ness College.

Business men seem to be agreed that
inability to spell is the crying lack
with a great proportion of office en-
ployes. and that the public schools are
somehow failing to meet this prob
lem.
One instance of the up-and-doing
spirit of Dougherty's Business college
is the attention that is being given to
spelling. Great enthusiasm is being
aroused through the contest in pro-
gress between two sections of the stu
dents, and the rival companies are
even holding meetings in the evenings
for study.
The two sides stand lined up on
opposite sides of the room. AS the
words are passed out and spelled, the
teacher does not catch up the errors.
but if these are taken up by the other
side, the leader moves up one or two
or three. as the case may be, towards
the head of the line If the misspelled
word is not caught by the other side
and is taken up by someone on the
same side as that on which it was first
misspelled, that side moves up one.
The number of times each leader
t1eaves off head" makes the score for
his side.
This contest will be concluded Feb
ruary % and the losing side will at
once prepare for an entertainment
which will be given to the winners
Tuesday evening, March 8.

ideal corn plants are to be found in

the first step in corn breeding.
In order to do this well the farmer
should go through the field. following
definite rows, at time when the plant
will show it's general characteristics
to the best possible advantage This
is usually when the corn is in the
milk, as then the leaf, ear and stalk
can be studied to good advantage. We
should select medium stalk which
puts out one good ear about three feet
above the ground. The stalk should
have numerous broad healthy leaves.
When the ideal stalk is found II
should be marked so as to recognize
the plant after the corn has ripened
After the first plant is found other
plants are selected that conform close
ly to the first selected stalk. In this
way 200 or 300 stalks are marked. and
after the corn is well ripened the ears
from them are picked and husled. The
ears that are not uniform in character
are rejected. and only those that show
good type are saved for the second
years work. These ears should be

selected the previous year. The ears
are tested for termination and only
the strongly terminating ears kept.
or these the butts and tips are reject
ed. and the middle two-thirds Of the
ear is generally used.
Ground should be selected upon
which similar crops have been grown
from year to year so that the soil will
be in a uniform condition. Each ear is
planted in a separate row until 80 or
100 ears are used. The hills are an
equal distance apart, and the same
number of kernels, usually three, are
planted TO the hill

DOUBLING THE CORN YIELD.
Every Farmer Can Breed Better Grain
Says Wisconsin Authority.

Every Farmer Can Breed Better Grain,
Says Wisconsin Authority.
If it is possible to increase the yield
Of corn from ten to thirty bushels per
acre we should all be made aware of
that fact in the shortest possible time,
for it makes a great difference to the
farmer who is on high priced land
whether he is growing thirty five bush
els of corn per acre or sixty, says Pro-
fessor r. "A. Moore of the University
of Wisconsin, writing in Farm and
Fireside
A large portion of the advanced yield
of corn in Wisconsin has been brought
about by using definite select breeds
of kiln dried seed that has high ener-
gy and vitality. Better culture has of
course contributed to the result.
We cannot emphasize too much the
Importance of having seed corn grown
in close proximity to where it is to
be used. 1t usually takes several
years continual growing before corn
becomes thoroughly acclimated to the
surrounding environment of soil and
climate, and if a radical change is
made the corn will deteriorate.
AS far as possible every farmer aft
er getting started with highly bred
seed should grow and develop his
own seed from year to year. His first
efforts should be toward selecting for
an ideal corn plant. He should have
in his mind those special characters
tics he desires to perpetuate. Such
