A YIELD OF $4,000 BUSHELS
"iIOOsier Corn King Has 300
Acres ON Wabash Island, and
Counts on 6O-BusheI Yield.


OWENSVILLE, Ind.-How would
you like to mount a tall step-ladder
in the midst of a corn field compris-
ing 300 acres, and gaze to the
north, south, east and west?
Wouldn't It be worth your while if
you could call it your own crop of
corn? Well, that is what Col. AL
fred Ribeyr of New Harmony can
do on his island of 1900 acres west
of that place.
He is known over the country as
the "Hoosier Corn King" and he
has held the title for several years,
in fact ever since he acquired the
cutoff. This place, as the name
indicates, is cut off from the main
body of land by a slender arm of
the Wabash river. The soil is rich
and productive. Col Ribeyr expects
a yield of 60 bushels to the acre
from his crop this year.
TO break the ground, plant and
gather the corn $50 men are re-
quired, and Col Ribeyr oversees ev-
cry detail of the work He is on
the lob from sunrise until long after
the shades of night have enveloped
the waving corn. A yield of 60
bushels to the acre will mean 1922
coo bushels of corn. Col. Ribeyr
never sells until he can get the high !
est market price. To plant. Guilt
Vate and gather this enormous crop
of corn requires a large sum of
money, but Col. Ribeyr will be salts
fed if he can dispose of the crop for
60 cents a bushel.

A BIG HUNGARIAN COLONY
Community Plan viii BE Worked
Out ON Rich 16O,OOO-Acre Tract
On Gulf Coast of Texas,

GALVESTON, Textile first
Hungarian colony to be operated on
the community plan in this country
is to be established in the coast coun-
try of east Texas on land just
equipped by an eastern syndicate.
Three tracts of good uncultivated
land embracing 100000 acres in
Harris, Chambers and Liberty coun-
ties, and it is proposed to raise
fruits and vegetables and have
large portion of the land under Gull
tivatiOn by early spring.
Orders have been given for the
construction Of several large houses
to be used as community homes,
with accommodations for from ten
to twenty families each.
Hungarians will be brought from
their native land, but the first in
stallment Of settlers will be taken
from New York, Chicago and cities
where the Federation of Hungarian
Farmers is campaigning with a view
of lettering conditions for their
countrymen. No outside labor will
be employed and enough skilled me
chanics will be enrolled in the col
ony to care for the needs of the
settlements.
The profits and losses will be
shared alike, and the earnings, after
all expenses are paid, will be divided
among the families contributing la
Dor to the colony. Fruit growing
will be made speciality, and expert
menting with several new grains and
vegetables will be tried on land set
aside for this purpose. Representa-
tives of the Hungarians have thor
oughly studied out the plan. and
their Investigations of the soil and
climate extend over q period of sew
eral months.

REPUBLICAN WILL RULE TENN.
Independent Democrats and Prohis
Endorse Republican Nominee.

Nashville, Tenn.-The independ-
ent democrats of Tennessee today
endorsed the candidacy of Capt Ben
W. Hooper, republican nominee for
governor, and further cut loose from
the regular wing by referring the
latter's harmony resolution to the
new Independent state executive
committee without discussion.
Thus was organized formidable
looking triumyirate to campaign for
republican governor, the triumvi-
rate consisting of republicans, indie
pendent democrats and statewide
prohibitiOnists.
The independents and prohibition
lists are so closely allied as to largely
overlap in their membership.
The possible break in the solid
south extends only to one office, the
goyernOrship. There is a gentle
mems agreement" between the indie
pendents and republicans that Meth
ar party will invade the others safe
legislative territory, and this, the in
dependents say, assures a democratic
legislature. The last republican
governor Of Tennessee was Alvin
Hawkins, in 1SS1-82 1t is curl
Gus fact that his election was due
to republican split lead by Judge
S. F. Wilson, who was elected to the
court of civil appeals as an independ-
ent in the judiciary election last Au-
gust, which was the forerunner of
tOday's convention.

Anti-State-Wide Candidate Wins the
GOvernOrship of State.

Columbia. S. Cole B1ease, of
Newberry local option candidate,
has been elected governor of South
Carolina over c. c. Featherstone,
statewide prohibitionist. A heavy

Blease's majority is between 5000

OF the wonderful power of the press
to mold public opinion" Every
newspaper in the state, with the ex-
ception of two country weeklies, sup
ported Featherstone and called Cole
Blease out of his name. More than
100 daily and weekly newspapers

4 Home Lover.

One of the most laudable traits
of Mr. Bailey's character is his love
Of the home and the family. When
his colleagues are enjoying the lux
uries and pleasures of their various
clubs he delights in being at home
surrounded by the peaceful influence
of his family. His faVOrite hobby is
the raising of fine cattle and blood
ed horses, and it is one of his ambi-
tions to conduct the best farm in the
land for this purpose.
Born October 6, 1868, he was the
youngest man in the senate prior
to the election of Brandegee of Con-
necticut and Burkett of Nebraska
Mr.. Bailey is an orator of rare abili-
ty, and his brilliant speeches in the
senate recall the days of Webster
and Hayne. Like all human kind,
he has made mistakes, but the oc-
casions on which he has done the
right thing, and the great thing, are
vastly more numerous. His fore
sight and his grasp of big questions
are remarkable.

A Jealous Patriot.

AulOuS the RANK anu NE Oh Jue
senate Bailey is probably the most
enthusiastic patriot. The fire of his
oratory when speaking on the con-
solidatiOn of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, besides eliciting a burst
of spontaneous applause from the
galleries, thrilled and astounded his
confreres. In his perOTation on this
occasion he branChed off into an i'm
prOmptu tribute to the Lone Star
State, and his commanding delivery
and beautiful language proved be-
yond question that oratory still
thrives in the federal congress, and
that the heart of true patriotism is
still living one.
In the home Mr.. Bailey is the
true husband and loving father. He
is tender and full of care for his
dear ones, and his political affairs
are never SO great as to compel him
to neglect his family hearth. AL
though slightly averse to entering
into social life he entertains gener-
Ously and Hospitality in his own
home.
Besides the distinction which his
brilliant Orations have heaped upon
him, and the fact that he is an in
fuential public man, he is immense
ly popular simply because it is i'm
possible for him to be a hypocrite,
and his friends knowing this swear
by him to the end. He works al
ways in the open, and although at
times questioned his deeds have ever
been found beyond reproach.
Mr.. Bailey is man, patriot and.
