champion corn grower of the world,
has written story of how he pro-
duced over 22S bushels of corn on
one acre of land. The yield is sub
stantiated by ahidavits. He made Il
profit of 5000 on the acre. 1t cost
him $l2S.05 to secure the yield. The
story gives Il complete description
and full accounts of the care OF the
corn. He is member of the boys
corn club and was under the direction
of the United States farm demonSt.a-
ton work and A. III. Gasque, county

In a clear manner Jerry Moore tells
the following story.

EXPRESS DRIVERS
CALL STRIKE OFF
Transcontinental Firms Agree
to Take Men Back With
out Discrimination
New Jersey Men Reconsider
Their Decision and Accept
Proposed Terms

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The strike of
drivers and helpers employed by five
transcontinental express companies was
declared off this evening and it was an
nounced at strike headquarters that
the men would return to work Monday
The close of the strike was brought
about by the New Jersey strikers, who
voted to accept the terms upon which
the companies offered to take back the
mn. They had rejected the trims last
night, but a conference of the strike
leaders with Mayor Wittpen of Jersey
City and President Towne of the New
York merchants association cleared
way for agreement this afternoon.
The New York strikers voted Thurs
day night to accept the companies
offer conditional upon similar action
being taken by the men across the
river The agreement provides that
the men shall taken back without
discrimination kept for acts of vio-
lence during the strike
The agreement between the com
panies and their employees does not
affect the strike of chauffeurs, cab
drivers and drivers for department
stores, who at first quit work in SYM
pathy with the express company en-
ployes and later presented demands of
their own.
Secretary Foster of the international
brotherhood of teamsterS declared to-
night that the fight of the chauffeurs
and cab drivers would continue until
their union secured recognition.
Negotiations between the strikin g
store drivers and their employers are
under way, and it is hoped settle
ment will be effected soon.

BALLINGER WANTS
court TO JUDGE
Recommends Reference of Cum
ningham Alaskan Coal
Claims to Judges

WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.-In order to
prevent further criticism of the fnte-
rior department for its handling of the
Cunningham Alaskan coal claims.
which precipitated the Ballinger- Pin
chot investigation. Secretary Ballinger
will recommend in his annual report
that congress authorize the placing of
these cases under the jurisdiction of
the court of appeals of the District of
Columbia.
Balhnger tonight issued statement
containing an excerpt from his annual
report which was placed in the hands
of the president before the latter de-
parted for Panama He declares that
while decision of the cases by the off,
GERS of the '1and department" would
be impartial as a court decision. 1t
would not have the effect of putting
at rest the vague and distorted notions
entertained by many as to the wholly
disinterested motives of department Of
ficers on whom the burden now rests
rAtheir disposition
The statement continues in part:
The Cunningham entries made in
1907 have provoked wide discus
sion and popular interest largely
because of their value and method
unfounded charges have been
spread broadcast, involving the at
titude of departmental officers
toward these cases.
In view of these conditions I
deemed it of the highest Importance
that all these cases, involving 33
entries, or $3.50 acres of coal lands.
be transferred from the jurisdic-
tion of the general land Office di-
rect to the court of appeals of the
District of Columbia, for consid-
Grafton and adjudication, without
the necessity of a ruling as to the
validity or invalidity of said en-
tries by the commissioner of the
general land office, as is now re-
Quired in such cases

An INGENIOUS Machine.

Of the many ingenious and interest
ing machines employed by our gov
eminent in it's daily work perhaps
none is more striking than those used
for counting and tying postal cards
into small bundles. These machines
are capable Of counting 100000 cards
in ten hours and of wrapping and ty-
ing them in packages of twenty-five
each. The paper is pulled off a drum
by two long fingers which emerge
from below. and another finger dips
itself into vat of mucilage and ap-
plies itself to the wrapping paper in
precisely the right spot. Other parts
of the machine Irvine the paper round
the pack of cards. and then thumb
presses over the spot where the mu-
cilage has been applied, whereupon
the package is thrown on carrying
belt ready for delivery. - Harper's

A Wonderful Pair of Scales.

Sir William Ramsay. the English sci
enlist, has set up what is believed to
be the most delicate scales in the
world in his private laboratory at the
University College of London. The
scales rest in a metal receptacle, and
unless disturbed they can accurately
weigh a seven-thousand millionth of
an ounce. The beam is made of sill
ca. and from it is suspended tray
holding a minute glass tube. lmpris-
on a mere impression of xenon, new
gas, in the tube and the magic record
of that weight is marked on a scale
on which q ray of light is thrown.
The room is kept almost in darkness,
for the scales are so delicate that to
turn on the electric light anywhere in
the room would disturb them. After
using the scales the professor tiptoeS
out and leaves them an hour in dark
ness to recover their equilibrium.
