EFT was among the foremost to cOngra-
tulate him upon his gallant victory.
When the turmoil of the strife had
ceased, and the smoke and dust of the
battle had lifted so that men could see
clearly to be guided by reason, it was
Cavett who S1troduced the ringing res
! olution breathing the spirit of truth and
chivalric honor, and expressing the
very essence of justice in generating
Senator Percy from any connection with
or knowledge Of bribery or corruption
in connection with his election and Var
daman's defeat, which thrilled the
hearts of Mississippians with pride
everywhere.
It was a graceful and magnifcently
fitting thing to do; and it was hand
sorl1ely done too. And the gentleman
from Noxubee emphasized his loftiness
of soul when he said: 81 introduce this
resolution not As Vardaman or Percy
is par. icle of taint upon Senator Per-
cy's commission.
And when Percy-like crusader of
old, returned from Holy Land, entering
the lists at the Gentle and Joyous Pas
sage of Arms of Ashby-came back
from Washington in April 1910, and
without hesitation or circumlocution,
boldly issued his defy to Vardaman and
Vardamanism, the challenge delighted
no one more tnan E d. Cavett. the Old
Confederate and ''Grand CJclops of the
Noxubee County Den of the Kuklux
Klan."
For the eloquent words and the spir-
tied manner of Percy, before the joint
session OF the Mississippi Legislature.
April 10Th, 1910, had struck home and
rang true. They struck responsive
chord in the heart of every loyal son of
Mississippi, and when the speaker con-
cluded there was not q man within the
sound Of his voice but that knew his
words were those Of truth and soberness.

It was realized that they were the ut

They were words which carried hope
and confidence to hearts of his follow
ers and sent dismay to the souls of Var
daman and those advocating his cause
who had engaged in disseminating the
lies and slanders to which Percy had re-
ferred. 1t was superbly done, and
there is scarce a doubt but that the

Never was such political turpitude
and intellectual cowardice witnessed in
Mississippi as that of the White Chief

Selection of Seed Corn.

occCtlOn OF oecu COTR.
If one desires to improve his seed
corn for another year the time to do
1t Is before the present crop is gath
cred. When a person follows the
common practice Of securing his
seed from the barn, large ears are in
variably selected. and 1t cannot be
told at that time whether the ears
are large due to breeding, or whether
they have been produced on stalks
which have been favored with an un-
due amount Of fertilizer or dist
ance. If seed are selected which have
been grown under the latter condi-
tions, they are not apt to produce
large ears another year unless given
rather heavy application Of ferti-
lizer or more distance than neces-
sary Therefore, the seed ears
should be selected from stalks which
have grown under average conditions
To make this selection properly, 1t
must first be decided which portion
OF the field represents as near as pos
sible the average soil conditions Of
the farm. Then from blocky and
healthy stalks, which have not been
favored with any undue amount Of
distance or richness In the soil, the
seed ears should be gathered. Be-
loio oleaklHS the ears from the
stalks, one should ascertain Nheir
size as near as possible This can be
done by carefully examining them
with the hand, and If they seem to
be Of good size and we'll filled out at
the tip they should be pulled. If the
corn should be prolific variety, it
does not matter whether the top or
bottom ear Is selected so long as a
good one Is secured
After having selected about twice
as many ears as will be necessary for
seed, all of them should be stored
In place free from mice and wee
wills. few days prior to planting
time, all of the ears should be shuck-
ed and only the best ones retained
for planting. 1t Is we'll to bear In
mind that all seed ears should be
free from mixture, heavy, of good
size. have deep grains, we'll filed
butts and tips. uniform kernels, and
narrow spaces between the rows Of
grains. as the above points are con-
ducive to larger yields and have a
tendency to be reproduced when
planted. J. M. Napier.

Honor 10 Whom Honor is Due.

Editor of Hood River Glacier: Please
allow me space in your valuable paper
to make few remal ks regarding that
association known as the Odell Devel-
opment League of Odell. Those who
are aware of the existence of that
association cannot fail to notice and
appreciate the good work which is
being done around the vicinity of Odell
under the leadership of that club. We
may thank the 0dell Development
League for that new grade which has
just been completed at the foot of the
Tucker Hill, making a % per cent
grade instead OF l3 per cent, thereby
cutting out quite long and heavy
pull.
At a recent meeting it was decided
to build board walk around the main
thoroughfare of O4ell, the said walk
| to be six feet in width from the 0dell
crossroads to the school house ard also
| south to the Odell creek bridge, and
| the remainder of the walk to be two
| feet wide. This walk is now com
pleted, and those who daily use it say
that it is certainly an excellent i'm
| provement. At the same meeting it

way Mercantile Co. store. 1hs light
is also in position, and adds another
big improvement to the community.
Another light is also to be placed on
the Odell bridge south of the cross
roads, but to get sufficient funds for
this purpose concert and supper will
be given in the near future, and we
sincerely hope and trust the people of
Odell Will turn out en- masse for the
occasion. BY doing so they will help
the club and derive social benefit
themselves.
The Odel Development League is
not a boosters club nor a hot air asso-
citation, but it simply consists of a
number OF Udell men banded together
to work in unison for the betterment
of the community in which they live.
The club meets the first Monday of

WHITESALMONRANCHER

can lie in bed and hear the San Fran
cisco wireless station send the current
news of the day, for several hours.
This matter is sent slowly and distinct
ly for all ships plying up and down
the Pacific Coast to copy.
The fact that Mr. Bates lives out in
a dense wilderness in a log cabin, on a
mountain ranch, which he and his
family have been developing for three
years, where he spends the long Winter
evenings alone, adds interest to the
wonderful invention of wireless teleg-
