the work is done by regular public of.
ficials without extra cost. There the
census is taken on a certain day at a
certain hour. usually Saturday at II
p. m. because most people are then
at home. Printed circulars have been
sent by the police to every family
and to the owners Of all lodgings and
hotels. These circulars contain blanks
which must be filled. The police round
up passers in the streets. Sometimes

RAISED A NOVELTY IN CORN
Western Farmer Grew Ear with an
Odd Number Of Rows Show
Ing on II.

Jake Brunton. farmer living five
miles northwest of Blair. astonished
the managers of the corn show there
to finish by bringing in for exhibit
ton full well-developed ear of corn
with an odd number Of rows Of corn
on It, 1t is a noted fact that all ears
Of corn have even number of rows
running from IA to 22--but no odd
numbers. This ear has is rows with
4S grains to the row. Mr.. Brunton
planted fifteen hills from a peculiar
ear Of corn of his own selection, and
the planting received the same atten-
tion as his other corn. He read last
year of an offer by an Illinois corn
raiser of a 320-acre farm for an ear
of corn with an odd number of rows.
He began to experiment, and planted
an odd number of grains in an odd
number of hills on the 18th day of
the month. and husked and counted
each ear separately. A dozen corn ex-
perts examined it, and would not be-
lieve 1t until counted by themselves.
1t is a freak of which Mr.. Brunton is
justly proud. but he forgot to take 1t
to Omaha to the national show.-Oma-

was the private carriage Of Maj. Gen.

The 1910 Campaign Book.

Every Democratic worker in the
country should have a copy of the
1910 Democratic campaign book, which
is without doubt the best handbook
on the tariff now in print. One of the
unusual features CT the book IS its uti-
lization of Republican utterances to
sustain Democratic arguments. Thirty
six of the SIG pages are made up ex-
clusively of speeches by Republicans,
who take practically the same po-
sition on many of the big issues as
the Democratic leaders. The commit
tee is asking 81 for the book, which
goes toward defraying expenses of
the Democratic Congressional commit
tee. Not having been favored with
contributions by the great industrial
concerns of the country, the Demo
cratic committee must rely largely
upon contributions from the people.
Those who are really unable to con-
tribute tie dollar to the campaign
fund, however, may secure a copy of
the campaign book free. Contribu-
tions and reque SITS for the book
should be addressed to the Hon.

tional Democratic Congressional COM
