ent upon the arrival of the Milwaukee
seed corn special at the Jefferson
street station yesterday afternoon and
listened to an excellent lecture on the

tural college at Ames. The special ar
rived in the city at $40 o'clock on
schedule time and Immediately the
farmers took their places In the lee
ture coach and Professor Snyder
started his address on good seed corn.
The train came to this city from He'd
rick where the lecture was listened
to by large crowd of farmers. Only
forty minutes stop was made in OF
t,1mwa, but the farmers would have
been willing to remain in their seats
q much longer time to hear the
preaching of the gospel of better seed
corn. The personnel Of the party on
the train were Professor P. G. Holden,
better known as the seed corn spe-
cialist, the man who has done more

kernels will terminate in about six
days. Remove the cover carefully to
avoid misplacing the kernels in the
squares. Examine the kernels in the
termination may be described as fol-
that are worthless or show weak ger
mination.
'This box, as it is made up with the
corn in it and ready to set away for
termination may be described as fol-
lows. Two inches of moist sawdust
firmly packed in the bottom; then laid
upon this sawdust is the termination
cloth (ruled in squares) with the ker
nels Of corn laid upon it, second
cloth spread over the kernels, then a
third cloth, larger than the box spread
over this with two inches of moist
sawdust packed firmly over this.
Special Things to Observe.
"Be sure to soak the sawdust at
least one hour-or better still over
night.
"Use good quality of cloth (sheet-
in squares and the cloth which Is
laid over the kernels.
Leave at least two inches margin
around the edges Of the box to pre-
vent freezing and drying out.
"Rule the cloth off in large squares
two and one-half by two and one-half
inches.
"Never use the box the second time
without first thoroughly scalding both
the cloths and the sawdust. (The
cloth better be untacked and the saw
dust removed to do this.)
do not open too soon. The stem
sprouts should be at least two inches
long.
Throw out all ears showing weak
termination, as well as the worthless
ones.
A chart was used by Professor Sny-
der in illustrating his lectures. 1t
consisted of tables which the lecturer
used to good advantage in showing
that it paid to plant good seed corn.
The Wapello county seed corn which
was placed in the Ames tester was
not tested,as it had not terminated a
sufficient length of time. 1t will be
kept here several days longer and
then sent to Ames.

they are paid the whole year round
while in America singer has to earn
his living in few weeks or months
of the season. But over here the In
come and other taxes eat up large
part Of the singers salary.
II feel no resentment against Eu-
ropean singers who go to New York
and achieve great success there, but
do resent the fact that many OF them
become American citizens. I object
because know they take this step
out of no love for our country, but
simply to escape the payment OF

Europe sitting around their beer and
taking the keenest delight In ridicul-
ing America and the Americans"
Concerning the singer the Kansas
City paper says:
Stiles is 81 year old. . He has spent
nearly all his life in Kansas City.
The young mans first successes were
in comic opera roles with the Boston
ians. Afterwards he was the Lieu
tenant Pinkerton in the Savage pro-
duction of Puccini's Madam Butter
fly" in the United States. Going to
Europe on a pleasure trip he was ell
gagged by Herr Weingartner, director
Of the Vienna Royal Opera, for term
of six years.
Some European Successes.
Stiles has appeared in several roles
in Vienna, among the most notable be-
ing Raoul in LES Huguenots.' and
the Duke in 'Rigoletto." He added an
other success to his list few weeks
ago when he took most Of the honors
in the revival of Gounods Romeo ct
Juliette," made in the Austrian capital
with Selma Kurz in the other title
role. He is now in demand by sew
eral other companies.
Stiles went to Paris early last sum-
mer and studied four months with
Jean de Reszke. During this time he
worked on four operas with the cele-
brated master. Romeo ct Juliette,.
Faust, = Les Huguenots," and aida,
having a lesson every day and study
ing each role for a month.
Kansas Citians were interested sew
eral months ago in the news of his
marriage with e. young Viennese soci-
ETY. woman.
81 suppose" said the singer laugh
ingly, that some Americans may con-
slider me unpatriotic in marrying a
foreigner. The fact is, after meeting
so beautiful and talented a woman
over here, ] thought that the finest
thing | could do would be to marry
her and thus make of her an Amer
lean citizen. / couldn't bear the idea
of seeing her anywhere else"
Mrs. stiles is a woman of great
beauty and of marked talents. She
speaks English fluently, besides Ger
man, Roumanian and French. She, too,
is musical.

The citizens of Douglas propose to extend the City deck to MayBoWer island, hitherto known as Juneau isl and.

a recreation ground for the citizens of Douglas, he heartily approved of it and said, "Put me down for $500, and if you are shors come sgain."
 Mayaower island has many attrac- tions, which, when brought within reach by the proposed plan, will make it a joy forever to the people of Doug las Island. Resides this, however, there is very practical side to the propo- sition which appeals to the people gen. crafty and the business interests es- pecially, and that is the providing of a convenient and safe anchorage for all kinds of small craft. No matter how the Taku may howl, within this little harbor boats may lie in perfect safety. The hberality of Mr. Kinzie has given the project a good start and as the scheme gets a good word from every body it is safe to assert that the thing is just as good as done.
