Wade FOR Governor.

Late last night the democrats Of
Iowa practically decided on Judge
Martin j.. Wade of Iowa City for gov
ernor and Senator Edwin G. Moon OF
Ottumwa for lieutenantgovernor and
1t is not unlikely that they alone will
be candidates at the primary in June.
Judge Wade formerly was congress
man from the Second district. His
friends were in consultation with
Harmon Of Ohio and other national
democrats. His candidacy is thought
possibly to have some relation to the
national democratic situation; He is
the national committeeman from Iowa,

Harmon and Wade.

labor excepting the few hours in the
winter testing the seed corn.
Testing an Easy Job.
Testing the seed corn Is very inter
esting and instructive work that is
neither hard nor tiresome. 1t Is done
in the winter or early spring when
there is plenty of time. The hours
spent in testing seed will do more to-
wards getting full crop than weeks
Of hard work In the field later in the
season, for no matter how careful the
cultivation or how favorable the sea-
son full crop Is not possible if the
stand is poor or the vitality low.
II is the plants from kernels low
in vitality that are first affected by
the drought, by the heat or the weeds.
These plants are responsible for
more failures and poor crops than
anything else. A careful termination
test shows just what the vitality Of
each ear is. 1t shows more clearly
than anything else what next years
crop will be, Record yields are not
that will produce plants with strong
root systems as we'll as strong
stalks. A glance at properly tested
seed corn shows both the sprouts and
the roots and nc seed should be
planted that has not proven in ad'
vance that 1t is capable of producing
a good ear of corn.
What it Means to You.
Iowa should not only increase the
production of corn ten bushels to the
acre or 109,000,00O bushels to the
state but it really ought to be Is or
20 bushels more to the acre and 200,.
900, 900 more bushels for the state or
an increased wealth of $1O0,O00,OOO.
What good does 1t do to go through
your fields cultivating hills where
there are no stalks. Think Of the Ia
Dor lost In the field because of poor
stand 1t takes just as much labor
to tend to a field having an average
of one and half stalks as 1t does q
| field having an average of three good
stalks per hill. Do you realize the
labor lost? Plant good vigorous, live
seed and you will not have so many
one and two stalk hills. You will
be worth a whole lot more money a.
the end of the year, the prosperity Of
the state and the nation will be en-
| HANGED and the wealth Of the country
will be increased an incalcuablt
amount.
Test your seed corn.

A STUDY IN FIGURES.
Make $50 Equal SIS and 80 Days
jackson Did.

Caleb Jackson, the negro restaurant
keeper at $50 Kansas avenue. accused
of the horrible crime of embezzling So
from George Washington on George
Washingtons birthday-the latter
Washington the father of his country
and the former almost a Stepfather of
Jackson-was found guilty by Judge
Simon today and fined SIS and costs
and 80 days in the county jail.
The way of the embezzlement was
this wise. George Washington, an old
negro, who Caleb says lived at his
house in Emporia for 80 years court
ing his mother, sought to celebrate
the birthday of=the father of his coun-
try and called upon Caleb, bringing
some very bad booze. Jackson is ex-
tremely fond of that beverage, no mat
ter what quality. as any police officer
will readily testify, and he lost no
time by looking for a glass.
But whether that was responsible
for what he did was not proven. Any
how G. Washington wanted a check
cashed and Caleb volunteered to get
the money. The check called for $50.
When Caleb returned he wore a new
suit of clothes and a pair of new
shoes. He turned over $22 to G. Wash
ington The latter naturally questioned
the correctness of the change and
Caleb promised to go out and get the
rest of it. Failing to return in a rea-
sonable time, Washington became I'M
easy, arose and, crossing the Della
ware" arrived at the police station.
AS result, when Caleb returned to
his place he found instead of mis- al
most-was stepfather. a detective from
the city force.
Simon Jaletskie, a Russian clothing
merchant, who was doing business that
day as usual told on the stand how
Caleb happened to buy the clothes.
Jackson had come in, he said, with the
checks and wanted it cashed. But he,
not having that much money in the
drawer, answered that unless Jackson
bought something he could not give
him full value. So Jackson bought
the clothes.
Jackson said that he intended to buy
the clothes any way and further in
tended to get the money elsewhere to
fill the amount of the check He also
says that that is the thanks one gets
from trying to accommodate a near
stepfather. The case was appealed to
the district court
