SORROWS OF A SON-IN-LAw-Repre-
sentative Nicholas LongwOrth is relating
to his colleagues in the House a pathetic
tale which he calls the sorrows Of a
sOn-in-law." Mr.. Longworth declares that
ever since the announcement of his en-
gagement to the daughter Of President
Roosevelt his every utterance has prompt
ly been assumed to have been inspired by
Mr.. Roosevelt. When the colonel went to
Africa. however, Mr.. Longworth AYERS, he
expected to get credit for at least a little
originality. but he admits his hope was
baseless. He has just received a letter
which reads. In part: Whenever you get
of anything worth saying which is mighty
seldom. all know II is inspired by your
distinguished father-in-law. and most OF
your constituents congra tuIate you on the
cOloners early return. When he lands on
American soil you may. expect US 10 read
your speeches. but In the mean time you
might as we'll save yourself the trouble OF
mailing them" Mr.. Longworth submits
that the public life of the sOn-in-law OF a
great man is hardly worth the living.

interests will doubtless be resented by
many Of the states. but even IL IL should
take place In isolated instances, such
transfer would be effective only for ten
years. at the end of which time the state
would be compelled TO fix new rental, so
that as soon as public opinion became
aroused to the value OF the concessions
the state authorities would be compelled
to collect an adequate return therefor. II
is also obvious that even were lease
granted for 1893 years" IL would not de-
prive the people OF their rights so long as

PRESIDENT TAFTS TRIUMPH.-The
determination of the House leaders 10 add
10 the powers Of the Tariff Board and spe-
officially to delegate TO the board the power
which the President and the ATTORNEY Gel
ersl believe II enjoys under the existing Law,
winch was related in this column this morn
ing, constitutes distinct triumph for the
President. who had 10 make a strenuous
fight TO secure the creation OF the Tarin
Boarc in the Payne lew. II further dem
onstrates that the Presidents conception OF
the temper Of the public was far more &C
cUrate than that OF the leaders of Congress
a year ago. The President. who IS always
averse TO anything suggestive OF gloating.
has failed In his speeches TO make as much
OF the Tariff Board and It's possibilities as
its creation would warrant. and he has,
moreover. been loath 70 augment the DIM
culties OF securing the appropriation Of SUI
hcient funds 10 enable the board to carry
on its work by laying particular stress on
the importance and scope of the work which
he purposes 10 intrust TO that board. Pub
lie sentiment now proves TO be SO strongly
with the President. however. that there IS
little doubt that Congress.will grant the APP
he has asked. and indeed, rs
has been told. the House leaders are now
anxious TO secure all the credit possible
for liberality toward the further investiga-
ton Of the tariff and its effects.

A child with Worms is pas, sickly and
cross, has dark rings under the eyes. bad

GRAND SUCCESS
WAS MEETING
OF Boys Corn Club, Says ". K.
MClIrOY, President for Ran.
dOIDh County

THOSE VINO were NOT present
at the second annual meeting of the
Boys Corn Club of Randolph coun,
ty, l will say few words, for
do not feel that / could say any
thing to those who attended that
would cause them to know that a
great campaign of education and
experimentation III agriculture is
being carried on in Randolph coun-
ty, for seeing is believing.
81 be contest consisted of l0l ex-
hibits, all of which were very fine
specimens.
/ "About so of these exhibits were
accompanied by records, showing
that they had cultivated the corn
under the insuu tions of U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, also gave
the yield per acre and cost of pro.
ducing same. This is no doubt the
greatest step ever put forth in the
way of scientific agriculture in
Randolph county.
"The sixty regular and four spc-
i'll prizes as arranged by the COM
mittee and contributed by the
progl essive merchants, bankers and
citizens of Randolph county, were
won by boys who live in all sec
tions of the county.
"The way that the business men
of the county have assisted in this
great work, shows great interest," on
their part. The committee feels
realty indebted to the Star Herald
editor for the vast amount of space
and time he has contributed to the
work, and the way the judges con-
Quoted their part of the contest was
such as should meet with the appro-
val of all. No pains were spared by
the committee to make it fair and
square for every contestant. All
the prizes were won entirely upon
the merits of the exhibits.
"a few words now about the
contest for 1911. / intend to APP
point an assistant committeeman for
every township in the county to
help secure members, also to solicit
contributions from parties in their
vicinity. All boys wishing to en-
list must get their names in by
April 5th, 1911, must agree to cul-
tivate their plot under the instruc-
tions of the agriculture department
an 1 must keep a record of work
done aud present same with their
exhibit. All boys who are too old
to enter the county and state con-
test may enlist in the national corn
club by complying with rules adopt
ed by the national committee which
will be made public in the near
future.
1--WE also expect to have girls
corn club for 1911. This we will
talk about later.
with many thanks to all who
assisted the work for 1910 and
special thanks to Messrs. Bigger,
Davidson and Wells for their work
as Judges, to Mr.. Blankenship for
his advertising, to Pocahontas State
Bank for Accommodations on day of
contest and to Messrs. Schoonover
