GO SLOW ON BROOM CORN.
High Price of Crop Tempting Many
Farmers Into Untried Field,

TaTHero INFO OntrIed Field,
The extremely high price of broom
corn has aroused a widespread inter-
est in tue crop, says o. D. Center Of
/. the University Of Illinois. Broom corn
belongs TO the same family as sor-
ghum, Kaffir corn, milo maize and
Jerusalem corn, all Of which are class
ed botanically as Andropogon sor-
ghum. 1t differs from the other mem
bers of this group In having the seed
heads with much longer, straighter,
stronger straws or branches. These
form the brush, which is the valuable
portion of the plant.
Broom corn growing now is and will
always remain small industry be-
cause the demand for the brush is not
only limited, but small. This cfop,
then, Is not profitable one to GIN
clude in system Of general farming.
According to the best authorities, the
worlds consumption of brush Is less
than $4,000 tons, and as this brush Is
used but for one purpose there can
be 10 sudden increase In the amount
required. The total worlds supply
could be produced on 10000 acres,
and the territory and men equipped
for and engaged In broom corn grow
ing already could easily double the
present production If the demand war
ranted.
Broom corn Is marketed wholly In the
bale. Throughout central Illinois there
are numerous jobbers and commission
men who do nothing but handle this
crop. Because of dishonest practices

live STOCK RATES
State Rni|way Commission Restores
Minimum on Shipments
RULES ON LENGTH OF CARS
Freight Rate on Live Stock Shipped
Between Iowa Points Will Be
Reduced Approximately 20
Per Cent.

Des Moines, June Am importan,
decision to small shippers by which
the freight rate on live stock shipped
between Iowa points will be reduced
approximately 20 per cent, was made
by the state board of railroad COM
missioners when it restored the mini
mum on live stock shipments to 81
loot cars. The request was made by
the Sioux City Live Stock exchange
and the Sioux City Stock Yards COM
pany.
The board recently increased the
minimum length of cars for live stock
shipments from thirty-one to thirty
six feet. The Sioux City concerns fil-
ed formal complaint and after a hear
ing Thursday the board restored the
old order to take effect as soon as
possible. The change from 31-foot
cars to 36-foot cars took effect June 1
and the change back to 31-foot cars
is OF great value to the small ship
per.
1t was shown that the farmer or
small shipper of live stock, shipping
TO local points, seldom has sufficient
stock to fill 36-foot car. Despite
this tact they must pay the minimum
weight for the 36-foot car. The order
OF the board also provides that if the
shipper demands a 31-foot car and the
company cannot furnish it that he
shall pay only the minimum on the
smaller car, regardless of the size of
the car.

THE GROWN OF SUCCESS.

| (From the Denver Statesman.)
A year ago the first announcement
! was made of the wonderful success
which Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made
in the growth of her own hair, and
1t is her intention to give the ben
eft of her knowledge to the world
at large. Being one of the best
known women in this section of the
country, already, the news OCCASION
ed much comment, and many peo-
pie who had known her for years,
came to realize for the first time
that the magnificent suit of hair she
has now was the product of very
short time and that bare three
years ago she wore her hair in short
curls, not braided and dressed as
she now does. That success begets
success, was evident from the start.
Her classes in the care of the scalp
and the growth and identifying of
the hair were filled at once. They
grew in prodigious bounds and some
weeks ago she was compelled to
abandon her out-of-town classes al
together. She confines herself now
to treatments at her home in the
Highlands and to mail order bust
ness. ..re
In the special articles which will
appear from time to time in this pa
per, we delight to call attention to
success in various lines achieved by
people of this city and state. both
that there may be honor paid to
whom honor is due, and also that
proper appreciation and patronage
may come to pioneers in business
among us. Personal profit for them
selves and example and encourage
ment for us all go hand in hand in
success won by members of our race.
Even the mean spirited should not
begrudge the one when SO much is
accomplished for the whole people at
the same time.
In her business Mrs. Perkins does
not play the part of a charlatan, but
sets forth clearly the possibilities of
her work, and her greatest endorse
ment falls short of the painstaking
endeavor and thorough going knowl-
edge she uses. We have seen her
STOW and grow, we know that she
has succeeded and we, therefore.
predict that in no great length Of
time she will be doing business
that will rival any mail order bust

race in any department Of endAavor Ks

To the Public:

prove to me that is was all her own.
l put my scalp in her charge at once
and words can never express the
wonderful results of her treatment.
l have tried so many hair treat
