Free Seed Corn.

IISS OSeu AOlH'
Why not quit raising scrub"
corn? Why not plant enough pure
bred seed this spring to supply you
for the future? There is as much
difference between scrub" corn and
pure bred corn as there is between
a scrub" steer and a pure bred
steer, Pure bred corn will produce
a much larger yield per acre than
ordinary seed. Until further notice
the Farmer and Breeder, published
mt Columbia, Mo-, will give away
free a quart of pure bred corn with
every new subscription. A quart will
plant quarter of an acre and give
you all the pure seed you need for
future use. The Farmer and Breed
er is a big monthly and costs only
Soc per year. 1t is published in the
home of Missouri's great Agricul-
tural College and every issue is full
of articles by Agricultural experts
on the raising of all kinds of Farm
Crops, the Care and Feeding of Live
Stock. Dairyins, Fruit Growing
Fertilizing the Soil, Poultry Raising
and every other farm subject. Any
single issue is worth the price.
Every ounce of this seed corn will
be tested by seed experts before it
is sent out. You can have either a
yellow or white variety. This ad-
vertisement is appearing in hun
dreds of newspapers and our sup
ply of seed will soon be exhausted.
So send or leave your subscription
at once at the Office of the Monroe
City Democrat. which will forward
it to us. tt

WHAT NEXT

Six months teaching in the pub
lie schools at a salary of $50 per
month is $500 year. $500 diyid-
ed by IL months gives a salary of
$50 per month. SIS off for board
leaves a net salary of SIS a month
less than the wages of a common
laborer, who has not spent cent
in preparation for his job. $50 per
month for IL months is offered.
Who makes this bid for your time?
We answer the Commercial World.
You are needed in business,
will you accept the highest salary,
$50 per month IL months in the
year? Deduct SIS for board. and
you have salary of $45 clear. as
compared with SIS net salary at
teaching. Net salary for the teach
er's IL months work at SIS per
month, $3.50. Net salary for the
Office man IL months at $45 per
month. $40. a net gain for the
Office man of $3.50 per year. How
can this difference in salary be Sc
cured? The answer to this ques-
ton has been found by thousands
who have completed a course in
Bookkeeping and Shorthand in the

tons motion. The next meeting was
set for Monday afternoon at 3:5V o'clock
at the exposition headquarters. at
which time the active work will be
undertaken without delay.
letter was received at the expo
sition headquarters yesterday from
William Thomas of the law firm of
Thomas, GerstIe, Frick & Beedy, sug-
gesting the organization of an expo
sition law department composed of
members of the local bar, who would
undertake to handle any litigation that
might arise without charge for their
services.
With a law department organized.
Thomas suggested, the members should
be segregated into general and special
committees to take charge of questions
as they arise. BY. such means
the labor and expense of the legal
steps necessary in incorporation, let
ting of building contracts, drawing
contracts with exhibitors, contesting
damage claims and such matters would
be taken off the shoulders of the
general exposition committee.
An extended communication con-
tanning suggestions that will be given
careful consideration by the directing
committee was received yesterday
from w. w. Dickie, well known locally
as a consulting engineer and a men,
Der of influential engineering So
cieties.
Dickie called attention to the fact
that the American Society of Civil En-
gineers, numbering 1000 members, is
at present considering San Francisco
and an eastern city as the two most
probable meeting places for it's next
annual meeting.
Dickie suggested that San Fran
cisco should step aside at this time
and plan to have the engineers hold
the 1915 meeting in this city instead,
arranging for special steamer to
bring not only the representatives of
this body but the great engineers of
Europe to San Francisco by way of
the Panama canal.
He stated that the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers, of
which he is past councillor, will visit
Europe this summer as the guest of
the great English and continental en-
gineering societies, and that this
should be made the occasion of in
teresting the engineering world in the
plans for the exposition

CONTRABANDO OPIUM
VALUED AT $1,000
Addresses Found in Pockets of
SmuggIer Lead to Seizures
in Chinese Quarter

Addresses found in the pockets OF
Clifford Alexander, the tongshoreman
caught Wednesday with tin. of
opium in his clothes at the mail dock,
led yesterday, to the seizure of 46 boxes
or $1,500 worth of smoking opium in
the Chinese lodging house at 102s15
Dupont street and the prospect of find
ing still more opium caches in China
town.
Opium dealers Jared badly all around
yesterday. indictments for smuggling
We're made public in the United States
circuit court against OW Gee, Chi
1ese merchant, and George Weinberg,
a stevedore. Robby Bean, who runs
a hop joint at Al John street near
Powell, was arrested by Deputy United
States Marshal Paul Arnerfch. Beans
establishment consisted of four ref,I-
gee shacks nailed together and pro-
vided with many cots, among which
three tins of opium were discovered.
3 Beans partner, Ike Morris, escaped in
time to avoid warrant held by officers
of the state board of pharmacy. Bean
complained loudly against his treat
ment while in detention, saying that
he had not had a 'pill' all day. Dur
ing this time he did Marathon walk
in his cell.
Alexander is the brother of Joseph
Alexander, the water front saloonman
and politician, who was acquitted on
a smuggling charge two months ago.
The brother, Joseph, was followed
from the mail dock to Chinatown and
arrested with a package or opium
under his arm. His successful defense
was that he had been given the pack
age by a man he did not know, for
whom he promised to deliver the same
to another mysterious person.

FATHER IN LAW DID
NOT LOOSEN PURSE
Heiress Wife Obtains Final De-
cree From Her PenniIess
Young Husband

A final decree of. divorce, separating
Mrs Elizabeth E. Shorb. fhe beautiful
and witty daughter of John r. SheeIlan,
a wealthy contractor, from Bernardo
Y. Shorb, penniless cadet of family
prominent in local society circles, was
signed by Judge Graham yesterday.
The Shorbs would probably have got
along all right, judging from the testi-
mony, had not the husband entertained
an idea that his rich father in law
should support them Although they
had been married a year and half at
the time of the granting of the inter.
locutory decree, Shorb never gave his
wife a cent, she testified. He told her
that her father was well able to sup
port her, and she informed the court
that as matter of fact she had. de-
pended upon her father for her main
tenanee ever since the marriage.
The divorce was on the ground of
willful neglect to provide the common
necessarfes Of life. Both are now at
liberty to remarry.
Shorb is q. brother of Mrs. Ynes
Shorb- White Buck, formerly a social
leader, and the son of Mrs. J. de Barth
Shorb. There was talk at the time his
wife left him of his instituting suit for
$4,000 damages against his father in
law for alienation of his wife's affec-
TONS but the action was never begun.
Alexander Jacobs began suit yes
terday for annulment of his marriage
with Esther Jacobs on the ground that
she was insane at the time they were
married in Kansas, December 8, 1908.
The woman is now an inmate of a lu-
matte asylum:
Frank Cordes. an advertising so
licitor, objects to being called upon to
pay his wife, Nellie. $50 a month for
her separate maintenance, and in sup
port OF his objection told Judge Graham
Yesterday that Mrs. Cordes was not
finally divorced from her first husband.
Tobias Hook. at the time OF her re-
marriage. Cordes said the first he
knew of Hook was when he accident
ally discovered him embracing Mrs.
Cordes He is suing to have the mar
riage annulled. Judge Graham took the
whole case under submission.

FINANCES OF THE
OCEAN SHORE ROAD
Receiver Stratton Files De-
tailed Report With United
States Circuit Court

Receiver f. s. Stratton petitioned the
United states circuit court yesterday
to instruct him as to what disposition
to make of the ocean Shore railway
properties. While he asked whether
or not he should continue in charge,
he filed also "A statement for the guild
ance of the court, which made clear
that the creditors only hope of recoV-
cry lies in operating the road.
In statement to bond holders
Stratton several weeks ago announced
his intention of asking the court to
issue S3, 500. 900 worth of receivers GER
tificates. Following came a suit of in
tervention by Horace PiIlsbury, who
demanded that complete statement of
possible expenses be first prepared by
impartial experts.
Stratton asked for certificates yes
terday only in the amount of $4,000,
with a view to preserving several val
liable contracts. The fuel oil bill for
the engines is overdue and the stand
ard oil trust is trying. on this ground,
he says, to escape from a contract
that would save the company $4,000
in the year it has to run, as compared
with open market purchases.
WANT LINE OPERATED
Stratton further lays before Judge
Van Fleet, who will hear the petition
next Monday, the case of the residents
along the line. The residents them
selves have prepared a huge petition,
asking that the road be operated at all
hazards, for it carries not only passen-
gers, but the mails. There must also
be paid S3,S66 to Gertrude II. Collins,
owner of the terminal grounds at
Twelfth and Mission streets, other
wise the lease will be terminated and
the company's power to condemn and
purchase will be gone.
Since he took the receivership a
month ago Stratton says he has mate
rally reduced the operating expenses
by cutting down salaries of officials. j.
Downey Harvey is acting manager,
without pay, to aid the road.
The month ending January resulted
in a shortage of $11636, Stratton says.
The cost of operation totaled $22,701,
against receipts of $11.064. Payments
so far made this month are $1,000 in
labor and s1s1 in sundries.
THE OPERATING EXPENSES
Stratton gives a table of operating
expenses, which explains the bad
showing made in the month past. These
expenses cover the 10 months begin
ming with January /. 1909, and ending
with last October.
The 10 months show a total expense
of s1S5.550, or daily expense of
ss10.36. In this period there was
earned S197,2Os. or a daily income of
s64e.71. Freight brought in s113. 600
and passengers SIS 900. In October the
freight business came to $16,27O while
in March il was but $4,222. In July
the passenger receipts were Sl2.235.
and in October only S6,905. During the
rains the road practically suspends
operations, 1t has not the force to
keep the track in repair.
During the coming year Stratton
hopes. with the reduction in expenses
named. to make money. He says his
prospective profits for the road are
$51,577 for the coming 10 months.
