THE HOMEMAKER.
Mans Chivairy to the Fried Goddess
of the Fireside.

AS we men frequently admit. it Is
which leads us to desire that she shall
confine her wholly admirable energies
to the making Of our home and the
keeping of our houses. She is tender
and frail, and so we urge that she
shall not for a moment drop her role
as the goddess of the household. There
is nothing that so rouses our almost
sacred admiration as to see our own
particular goddess with a dishrag in
one hand and a frying pan in the 9th
err. Let us never desert this high ideal
of womanhood and its lofty purpose in
life
Particularly let us not do so because
If q woman does not keep the house
it will not be kept Would we men

WHY CORN IS KING.

Portland, Me. TO point in the Pacific
ocean 1000 miles west of San Fran
cisco. or two unbroken lines extending
from New York to Salt Lake City.
If all the corn raised in Illinois in
1909 had been marketed at the price
prevailing in December 1t would have
brought S2Ol.5l7,250, an amount sufii-
cient to pay the public debts of sew
enteen Of the largest cities in America.
as follows: Chicago. Baltimore. Gin.
cinnati, Detroit. Indianapolis. Kansas
City. Los Angeles, Louisville, Mime
apois. Galveston. New Orleans. Pitts
burg, San Francisco, Seattle, Salt Lake
| City. st. Louis and Washington.
| If all the corn raised in Illinois In
1909 had been exported it would have
supplied the European demand for
seven years Had the European ex-
port for one year only been taken from
the Illinois output there would have
remained corn enough TO allow sixty
bushels for every man, woman aud
child in the state, or three and one
half bushels for every man, woman
and child of the S5000,000 people in
the United States today
Yet Illinois is not alone. There are
twenty-four other states each of which
produces more than 100000 bushels
Of corn each year and eight others
whose individual output each year
in excess of l00,000000 bushels No
wonder that corn has been crowned
king, particularly in view of the fact.
as Secretary Wilson has figured il.
that the 1909 crop Of the value of
$1,120,00O.000 - nearly equal to the
value of the clothing and personal
adornments Of O00.00O-"has grown
up from the soil and out of the air in
100 days. Sl5,000,000 a day for one
crop, nearly enough for two Dread
noughts daily for peace or war"
The gold and silver coin and bullion
of the United States are not of greater
value. The total annual receipts from
every source of every mile Of railroad
in the United States are not greater
The public debt of the nation could be
paid off by two years corn crops and
enough money be left to build. arm
and equip 100 battleships the like Of
which the world has never seen. If
put on the market in the aggregate,
to buy one years corn crop would re-
quire every cent of the total gold and
silver money of Germany and Austria
Hungary, while the proceeds divided
per capita would give 500 to every
man. woman and child in the United
States today

Potato lmportations.

Great Britain has become an item OF
interest to American potato growers.
In spite of tie very heavy transporta-
ton charges and many expenses in
getting potatoes through the custom
house Great Britain is making money
shipping potatoes to the American mar
ket. The average yield of the Great
Britain growers is 26l bushels to the
acre. This means. as all averages
mean, that good growers get many
more per acre than this average and
poor growers considerably less. Soak
all seed potatoes coming from Maine
or other potato growing sections in
formalin Tor formaldehydel solution,
one quart to fifty gallons of water.
Soak full two hours. Dry carefully
away from either bags or barrels
which have formerly held potatoes, for
fear of contamination. Cut and plant
only the best specimens. Give thor
ough cultivation. Spray with bordeaux
and arsenate of lead combined from
the time the plants are from four to
five inches high at intervals not TO ez-
coed two weeks. Sort carefully and
pack honestly. Brand every bag and
barrel. Great Britain has made her
record on careful cultivation and seed
selection in the field from the best
hills. This is proved to be the only
way Don't think it over: get busy.
Up to March 81, 1909, the foreigners
shipped into the port of New York
1.022.36 sacks of potatoes. on which

died at his home in this city at 2

he was confined to his bed.
He had lived a useful life and his
Kindness and love have not only been
bestowed upon his family but also on
the host OF friends who join the family
In mourning his death.
Captain Wellington was born near
Concord, N. c., August s, 1910, and
grew to manhod there. He enlisted in
the Confederate army from North Car
DINA and served through the entire
four years. In 1870 he came to Texas.
settled In Bryan and had made this
his place of residence since that time.
He was married in this city in 1874
to Mrs. Jennie Johnson, daughter of
Col. Harvey Mitchell, who was a well
known citizen of Bryan and Brazos
county. He was a member Of the
Presbyterian church; a member of
Brazos Union Lodge No. 129, A. f. &
A. NJ; w. T. Austin chapter, Royal
Arch Masons; Ancient Order of United
Workmen, and the Odd Fellows lodge.
His record as a soldier is marked
with splendid bravery and his deeds
of valor and sacrifice for the cause of
the CO~nfederacy are foremost among
the memories that keep alive those
brave heroes of our Southland. He

with Lee and Jackson, and fought in
nearly all the important battles OF the
war in Virginia, being at Manassas,
Gettysburg, Seven Pines, and many.
other less important engagements. He
was wounded twice during the war,
but not seriously, and continued in the
service until the close of the great
struggle.
With the same bravery and deter
mination he fought the battles Of life,
overcoming obstacles, striving at all
times to show his love for his fellow
man. He was quiet and reserved in
his manner. unassuming by nature but
always ready to answer the call of any
duty. The loss of this time honored
citizen will be felt by the entire COM
munity. but he has passed over the
river to rest in the shade of the trees
with Lee and Jackson, while his sur
viving comrades stand with bowed
heads and tear bedimmed eyes as the
death call of their beloved friend
echoes back from across the great
Divide.

Mr.. Harvey Wellington, of Mart; Mrs.
M. s. Shoemaker. of Washington. D.

THE COTTON MARKET.

Liverpool opened and closed about
two points down, which was four TO
five points lower thar was due. Ameri-
can markets opened four to five points
lower and ruled narrow throughout the
session, closing practically unchanged
from yesterday. There were light sales
and little business transacted in the
future markets today. All interest IS
centered in the census ginners' report
to be issued Monday, and there has
been very little trading the past few
days, as the market has been in a
waiting attitude. We will very likely
see an active market after the report.
A great many big plungers are waiting
to take the different sides of the mar
ket.
