about him self and his candidacy.
He reviewed his personal aud
political career since cOmiug To

his talk upon the political situa

posted the money SO that the

1t is to be plainly seen that the

Office Of treasurer, and the first

Words Of Strenuth,

There are three lessons | would write.
Three words as with a burning pen.
In tracing OF eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have hope! Though clouds environ now
And Gladness hides her face in Scorn.
Put thou the shadow from thy brow.
No night but has it's morn.
Have faith: Where'er thy bark be driv-
en-
The calm's dlsport. the tempest's mirth.-
Know this: God rules the hosts OF heaven,
The inhabitants Of earth.
Have love! Not love alone for me,
But man as man thy brother call
Ard scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these words upon thy soul
Hope. faith and love-and thou shalt
find
Strength when lifc's s,rges rudest roll,
Light when thou else were blind.

THE 1910 CORN CROP.

notwithstanding the general sup
position that all crops yielded light
harvest this year, the corn crop in
the United States produced returns
that beat all previous records. Not
only is this years crop enormous,
over three billion bushels, but the
amount of the crop of 1909 in the
hands Of the husbandmen is far in eX-
cess of any former year. The men
in the middle west who have been
buying animals for the feed lots are
therefor treasured Of securing cheaper
feed, which in turn will mean cheap
er beef and pork. Those raising the
corn will find it necessary to feed
more stock for the market in order to
protitably consume the crop, and it is
surmised from this that more atten-
ton will hereafter be given to live
stock feeding on all farms in the mid
die west.
In connection with the above it
might BE- mentioned that several va
rites of corn have produced renum-
erativp returns in central Montana.
Not alone the feeding value secured
from the nutritious stalks, and also the
beneficial results in increased yields
from small cereals when planted on
did corn ground, but the actual value
of the matu:ed corn we'll repaid the
farmers for their work.
In planning for the season Of 1911,
don't overlook to include u patch of
corn. Use the seed Of some hardy va
riety. plant it in we'll prepared
ground. give it a liberal amount Of
cultivation, and you will be aston sll-
ed at the results secured.

serves 10 mans support in Emporia.
What is true Of Emporia, Kan. is
true Of every other town in the Unit
ed States. One of the primal obI'ga-
tons any good citizen owes to the
community in which he lives is that
Of reciprocal trade. 1t is only thus
that the community interests OF the
country can be maintained.
This buying of catalogue houses
and through soap clubs is a fad that
has grown up in the commercial gar
den like a rank weed. 1t grew and
tlourlshed because there was no at
tempt made to keep the garden clear
Of such growths. People have been
SO busy about other things that they
simply forget the obligations they are
under to their neighbors and to them
selves as a community. And even
since there has been Il marked aWak-
enine to the need for civic improve
ment, for building up the industrial
and ethical interests of the home
town. the workers seem to have over
looked the most important feature of
it all-the protection of the retail
trade of the home merchant.
The WOmen's clubs all over the
country have been doing a remark
able work in molding public senti-
ment along right lines. They have
been leaders in movements for beaut-
flying the home. the streets and the
town. They have led the fight for
better sanitation and in many locali-
ties are potent force for honesty in
municipal affairs. But as yet they
have not taken up the protection of
the life of the home town, on which
the success of all their other measures
must depend.

once so peStered by office seekers that
he found it necessary publicly to make
the statement that in view of the ex.

office he had received through the

attention to them. much less afford
any hope of success to the various ap.
plicants.
In the course Of few days after
making the statement in question the
governor received the following note.
