GREAT PROGRESS OF
 BOYS CORN CLUBS

Jackson, Miss, January S-(Special.)- Superintendent of Education Smith of Holmes county, recognized as the fath- CT of the Boys Corn club in Mississippi, spent the day in Jackson on business with the state superintendent and for the purpose of looking in on what the legislature and the senatorial caucus is doing.
 MT Smith has but recently returned from Washington where he went to sc- company young Dewitt Lundy of b:k county. the boy who was awarded ths first prize on an acre of corn last year. Lundy did not only win the free trip to Washington, but he won about $75 in cash and other prizes and made that one acre of corn pay.
 Professor Smith was asked how it was that Lundy got the prize when there were other boys in Mississippi who produced 70 or 50 more bushels of corn per acre than he did. and replied that the corn was submitted to judges and scored the best on four points, while yield was dply one. There were yields of 15 buhh- els reported, but the conditions wefe never complied with by the boys A.ho made the greatest yields, wherefore they could not get into the contest for the trip to Washington offered by Dr. Knapp
 1aS1 year corn cluDS were organized in 36 counties of the state and there were about S6oo boys engaged in the con tests. This year clubs have been organ ized in several other counties and there are already about 5000 boys enrolled, with more to come.
 These corn clubs says Professor Smith. do not encourage only the boys of the county, but they put better ideas and higher notions into the heads of the girls and the old folks naturally follow. Very great interest has been stirred up in school improvement and you have no idea what change has been wrought in some of the school houses. A day f or two since I visited a school in my county. Holmes that is six miles from the railroad and l was agreeably sur prised at the changes for the better. The surroundings were clean and attractive. and the interior of the house was all that any child or parent could desire. The walls were white and clean and ornamented with appropriate pictures; the teacher had place for everything. and 1t was there.
 The patrons of this school were on hand to meet the county superintendent and he found them responsive to every sug- gestion for continued improvement and the children were aligned with them

valuation pains upon government coal sales, MT. Ashley says ''The higher prices placed on government coal lands do not seem to have decreased their sale, but rather the contrary. Thus. to take as a concrete illustration the land of flee in Salt Lake City, it Is stated that when the new government prices were first announced there was a general ex- pression of doubt as to the sale of the lands and the prediction was freely made that the new prices would absolutely tie up the sales. It was not long. however. before coal lands began to sell at the new prices and the actual acreage sold In short time far exceeded previous sales within similar period. The sales have increased rather than decreased. The writer of this report visited the Salt Lake office October l. 1909. and found that in the preceding month, September, 27. sales had been made at an average price of over $4S an acre, bringing into the office during the month total Of over ;20O,000 that 50 declaratory state ments had been made and five cash en- tries. In Wyoming coal declaratory state ments have been made in none of which the prices range from $S.v to &o, and in another from $225 to s4S0 per acre"
 Maximum Depth of Goal.
 In the paper on the maximum depth at which coal may be mined ana the Hllni- mum thickness of workable coal seam. Mir Fisher shows that the regulations or the government have been well consld- cred, in view of the general practice here and abroad. In fixing the maximum eepth at 5000 feet for purposes of classif.ca- ton the government has adopted conservative course, but looking little ahead of the present. The deepest coal shaft In this, country is about 22oo but coal is mined in Belgium at nearly 40o0 feet. The British standard of maximum depth is -40o0. while Germany believes that coal will be mined profitably at 5000 feet. It is worthy of note that American rail road companies have purchased and are holding land for its coal deposits which are 5000 and more feet in depth.
 In estabishir-y the minimum thickness at l4 inches e government has again taken conservative. middle ground. also looking a little ahead. While many coal men consider or feet as thin coal, nevertheless 12-fnch seams are now being mined fin Missouri and for 40 years F inches has been regarded in England as the minimum thickness of workable coal bed.
 The bulletin is a full consideration or the whole question of classification and valuation of the public coal lands. and may be had upon application to the geological survey. Washington D. c.

WHY THIS SECRECY
Senator LaFollette Wants TO
Know Reason for withhold
ing Information.
WAS lNAUGURATED BY TAFT
Wonders if There Are Amy More
Cunningham Coal Land Claims
That Need Be Guarded.

Madison, Wis, March 1f-"Are there
many people in America fat-witted
enough to believe that Secretary Bal
Iinger would have authorized any one
to make the coal land grab public?
And, finally, why is 1t necessary to
muzzle every employee, every chief OF
division, every chief of bureau, every
officer, civil and military, in the gov
eminent, excepting the cabinet officers
at the head of the Departmental
short, are there any more Cunning
ham claims?"
With the last sentence quoted In
capitals, Senator La Toilette in today's
issue of his weekly magazine unmuz-
zles an attack on the pail Of secrecy
pinned by the Taft administration on
the government departments.
Put the MuzzIe On.
ION the 26th day of November" con-
tinues Senator La Toilette, ten days
before congress convened, President
Taft issued an executive order forbid
ding any bureau, Office, or division
chief or subordinate in any depart
ment of the government or any Off
Ger of the army or navy, or marine
corps, stationed in Washington.
to respond to any request for informa-
ton from either house of congress or
any member Of congress, except
through, or authorized by, the head OF
his department
why was this order issued?
''Will it promote the public interest?
Are not the records in all the de-
partments public records?
Should BE Made Easier.
Would 1t not be better to issue an
order making 1t easy instead Of diff
cult to secure information from any
Of the officials who are conducting the
peoples government?
Have bureau and division chiefs In
regarding the public bust
ness or the public records which 1t
would be unsafe to make public until
1t is inspected by the member of the
cabinet who happens for the time be-
Ing to be head of the department?
when before In the history of this
government was 1t deemed necessary
to keep a cabinet officer sitting tight
on the lid of his Department.
Ought not the public to be very
grateful that some information was
given out concerning certain coal land
frauds in Alaska before the president
issued his order OF Nov. 26?"
