PRIZE FOR BOY FARMERS.
Senator Gore Encouraging the Raising
Of Corn In Oklahoma.

of Corn In Oklahoma.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma made an
offer recently to pay the expense of a
trip to Washington next winter for
the Oklahoma boy who raises the lar
gest crop of corn on an acre of ground.
The conditions are that the boy must
be under sixteen years old and must
have done all the work himself.
The senator announced the other day
that he will have between 1900 and
1000 competitors for the prize. The
department of agriculture has PROM
Used to furnish information about the
growing Of corn for the benefit of the
boys who ask for it. and most of the
young farmers believe they can in
crease the yield If they have scientific
advice.
The original offer read for boys, but
the senator has two letters from girls
asking permission to take part In the
contest. They are Mamie Tenant of
Yukon and Anna Morrison of Ochela-
ia. The senator wrote them that they
would be considered as contestants
and given the same chance as the
boys: also that he would be as glad
to see girl win as one Of the boys.
In a similar contest In South Caro-
lima last year boy raised 1855 bushels
Of corn on an acre Of land.

MILK AS A Preventative.
Chemist Announces Remarkable Re-
suits From Skinned Var;.tv

Chemist Announces Remarkable Re.
suits From SKINNED Variety.
That SKINNED milk freed of bacteria
is perfect preservative is the discov.
cry recently announced by Dr. o. Hen
~ Novak Of Austin, ILL.,, who has
been a chemist forty years and has
been employed by the United States
and Austrian governments.
Basically the theory Is that dipping
articles of food in skinned milk coats
them with an almost invisible film that
absolutely keeps out germs, air or wa
ter and Is indissoluble and imperyious
to acids. The thin film will preserve
fresh meats, eggs, fruit or other edi-
bles subject to decomposition without
regard to temperature, according to
the chemist, who Is corroborated by
other scientists and professional men.
In his laboratory In Austin the other
afternoon DR.. Novak exhibited hang
Ing pieces Of beef, a leg Of lamb and
a fish which were subjected to a bath
in skinned milk four days previously.
The temperature since then had been
around 65 or 20, but these articles had
the appearance and odor Of perfectly
fresh pieces. An egg which had been
dipped on Jan. 8. 1909, was opened.
Those who saw the egg say it could
not have been distinguished from an
egg laid the same day.
DR.. Novak says nothing should be
dipped which is not fresh. After germs
have developed the film Is worse than

The Gypsies.

The origin Of the people known as
gypsies remains largely a mystery.
Egypt, India, Persia and Arabia have
In turn been pointed out as their origi.
nal country. but there is little def.

weight Of evidence is in favor of their
having originated in India. They first
appeared In Europe about 400 and
from the Danube region spread all
over the continent, appearing in Eng.
land about 1920.

Death certainly has been busy among
the great these early days of the sum-

Daniel and McEnery are the most not.
able OF the men high In the affairs of
the nation who have been taken. OF
these the death Of Chief Justice Fuller
will perhaps have the most important
bearing on the affairs of the country.
If Justice Moody takes advantage of
the permission granted him by con
gress to retire. this will make three
vacancies in the highest court in the
land to be filled by President Taft be
fore the court convenes in the fall.
Upon the men VINO are to be appointed
.-zS4~ depend the settlement OF some of
the gravest questions passed upon by
the court in many years. In the alb.
sence Of the president and most of
the other statesmen whose opinions are
worth consideration any suggestion OF
names to fill these vacancies is the
merest puess-work. and it has been too
hot to do any serious guessing. IT is
safe to say though that the president
will in all human probability appoint
men who will be inclined to take his
view on questions which are TO come
before the court in the fall. President
Taft has as wide and intimat" ac-
quaintanc among the lawyers of the
country of supreme court size as any
