BOY CORN GROWERS
 HIGHLY IGNORED

Washington, December 10-(Special.)- )- Eleven boy corn growers, the best in the country, selected in prize contests in as many different southern states, will be the guests of the Secretary of Agricul- ture next week. All the boys come on special invitation. The secretary is With holding their names until they shall have reached the city In the competition there were 46,266 members of the boys corn clubs.
 The boys, averaging from 10 to Is years of age, will come one from each of the states of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisi- ana, Georgia, South Carolina, North Caro- lima and Virginia The contests were in- stituted by the farmers cooperative and demonstration bureau of the department of agriculture through the medium of boys corn clubs. The trips to Washing ton have been provided through various means. In some cases individuals have volunteered to pay the expenses of prize winners from their respective states. In other cases state bankers associations or other state organizations have agreed to defray the expenses of one boy for one week Each of these boys raised last summer an acre of corn.
 The harvest of each was sent to the county fairs and prizes awarded in each county. Then the winners in the county sent selections from their crop to the state fairs in the eleven states. The win ners in the state contests have been picked to come to Washington.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 An obscure chapter, it has long laid unread in American annals. in spite of the interest that surrounds it. But now. says the New York Evening Sun, that the United States has come to take an active hand in the government of Liberia, 1t is natural that the founding of the old half American, half-African negro state should attract our interest And not only Is the story of the founding of Liberia strange to most of us. but even the location of that little state of freedom is somewhat vaguely fixed in our minds.
 The little republic lies on the west coast of Africa-more precisely on the grain coast of upper Guinea Founded back in 1920 as a home for the freed slaves from this country, Liberia became republic in 1s47 Today it's population numbers some 60,OO0 Liberians along the coast. while 100000 negroes run wild in the interior No white man can acquire cit izenship or own property.
 It is high time we got on speaking terms with the little republic on the west coast of Africa-more precisely on the grain coast of upper Guinea-if only be- cause our bigger republic is from now on going to take such an active interest in it.
 By an arrangement with bankers in this country, France and Germany, and with the approval of Liberia, and the European powers, loan of s2,OOoOO0 is to be fioated by our government to the end of setting straight dberian finances and assisting the country to establish itself upon a firmer basis. The United States will have control of the little states financial military and agricultural de- partments and will administer the repup-. lies foreign relations.
 The popular accounts of the founding of Liberia credit the achievement some what vaguely to the American Coioniza- ton society, of which Henry Clay was president. There is a less known chapter of that perilous enterprise which attrio- utes the martyrdom of life in this ef- fort to open new world to the slaves to the Rev. Samuel Bacon, an American minister of the Episcopal church.
 Letters patent, bearing the signatures of President Monroe and John quincy Adams, his Secretary of State, and giv- ing to Bacon the authority to represent the United States in the colony as it's chief agent are a prized possession or William H. Bacon, a grandson, who as d tea merchant at 124 Front street, traffics with the country his forbear helped to found.
 Bacon. the founder of Liberia, was man of great piety and profound religious conviction. He abhorred the slave trade as a violation of the most sacred laws humanity This sentiment led him to Identify himself with the colonization project He deeply resented the motives of those who gave support to the move ment from a desire to see as many 1ree slaves as possible deported from this country with little reference to their vel fare.

The Air-Brake Inventor

From Hampton's Magazine
 The banjo. in Kiplings great poem, claims the credit for drawing the world together link by link" but what actually, in cold hard prose, does the job. is rapid transit. And wherever swift trains are run, wherever rapid transit links the world, the Westinghouse airbrake is in use. Without it the immense freights and flying dreadnoughts of passenger traffic which roar across the country could not be handled. It is impossible to estimate what this device invented by George Westinghouse means in dol lars and cents to a commercial age such as this.
 Yet the air-brake is only one of his inventions, and its manufacture is but a small portion of the industries which bear the Westinghouse name and pro- duce the machinery evolved from his brain or that of men whom he has been clear-sighted enough to gather about him.
 Westinghouse is a millionaire and the head of great corporation which bears his name Wall street finds it hard to understand him, and in the perilous days os 1907 it tried to get" him. It succeed cd in throwing his companies into the hands of q receiver for a time, but the street did not get Westinghouse, and hardly even succeeded in slowing him up.
 As to stopping him-only the black clad reaper will do that, and though George Westinghouse is 64 years old the vitality, health and strength of this deep-chested, broad-shouldered, six-foot mortal promise the reaper long, wait His enterprises-there are IS Westinghouse companies in this country, one in Canada. three in Great Britain and one each in Germany, France and Rus sia-employ 40O00 people, afford support to S0O,00o, and are capitalized at Sl3o,o0o,- 000

From a person close to the Kings sec retary Lord Knolly, have been informed that the liberal government nearly came to an end just before the announcement of the dissolution of parliament, because King George after revolving as far as possible to follow his fathers politics, explained to MT. Asquith that he could not say whether he would be willing to create sufficient number of peers to cverwhelm the reactionary house of lords until the necessity of this action actually existed.
 This, as might be imagined, was. not very satisfactory, either to MT. Asquith or to the more advanced members of his cabinet Resignation was at once advo- cated at the cabinet council. when the rremier informed his fellow ministers Of the Kings views. And resignation al most took place, but this calamity was finally averted by Lord Knolly's tact. It was probably this incident which gave rise to the statement made in some radi- cal papers. that the King had taken sides with the tories, an accusation which is absolutely unjust.

AsToR IS sILENcED

London, December 10.-(Special.) )-There Is every reason to suppose that the sem sational conservative papers which first took up the cry against the $2oo,oo0 col lected by John Redmond on the other side of the Atlantic to further Ireland's just claim for home rule are wishing that they never attempted to make this particular feature a campaign issue, for it has proved most fatal boomerang to them selves and their cause. Ever since Lloyd George in his now famous speech at Mile End nearly three weeks ago threw light upon the fact, that snis comparatively small amount willingly donated by lov- CTS of justice and fair play and Irish pa triots across the Atlantic, was mere triae compared with the $SO,0ooO00 sent over here by Irish sons and daughters in America to save their old parents and poor relatives from being driven from their miserable homes by greedy land lords or compared with the millions of American dollars that had found their way into aristocratic pockets in the shape of dowries, ever since then unionist speakers at every meeting have had to face these unuanswerable facts. One par ticular London paper, owned by the self expatriated William Waldorf Astor, which lad been particularly noisy in it's denun- ciations of American dollars in English elections, became strangely meek for sew eral days after the chancellor of the ex-. chequer had referred to the fact that It's very existence was due to the income It's owner derived from New York tene ments.

Facts About Nilk...OnIy Per-
feet Food

Some idea of the Importance of
milk as human food may be gained
from the fact that about one sixth of
the total food of average family is
furnished by its products.
OF the various mammals whose milk
Is used for food in different parts of
the world may be mentioned the goat
in the hilly districts OF Europe; the
buffalo, in India; the llama, in South
America; the camel in desert coun-
tries, and the mare on the steppes of
Russia and Central Asia. Sleeps
milk is used in some countries for
making cheese, and in other ways,
and the milk of reindeers is common
ly used as food in the Arctic regions.
With us the milk of cows so far sur
passes all other kinds in importance
that unless otherwise specihed the
word milk is taken TO refer to cows
milk only.

phoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever and
tuberculosis, may also be carried In
milk, SO that the purity OF the milk
supply is OF vital Importance to every
family and community
The problem OF keeping milk sweet
is one of checking the growth of the
bacteria, and as they are inactive at
temperature below so Fair, milk
should be kept in cool place. Two
common methods for preserving milk
are pasteurlzation and sterilization.
In the former the aim is to apply
heat in such a way as to kill most
of the bacteria without producing un-
desirable changes in the milk; in the
latter, to apply enough heat to kill all
the bacteria, but with the leafs possi-
BILE undesirable change. Chemical
preservatives | nmilk are considered
injurious to health and are forbidden
by pure food legislation in many
states.
What Is commonly known as the
richness Of milk depends upon the
amount of butter fat 1t contains. There
is SO much difference in the compost
ton of milk from different cows that
many large butter and cheese factor
les now test all the milk they buy
and pay for it according to its butter
fat contained.
Mothers milk is best adapted by ma
ture to the nourishment Of infants.
Cows milk is the most common sub
stitute and when necessary Is artific-
tally modified to make it resemble
human milk.
The value of milk for adults Is In
combination with other foods, not as
beverage merely, but to supply in
part the material needed Tor the body.
Unless exceedingly high prices are
paid for 1t milk is fully as economical
source of nutriment as other ami
NAL foods, but dearer than most staple
vegetable products. Milk, however,
requires no preparation, has no waste
and is more thoroughly digested than
most vegetable foods.
