 Il have been very lue.zy. Recogni tion for artistic work comes so often after one is too old to enjoy it.
 T remember one of my country men. a centenarian, who. Lad he died before seventy, would never have seen any of his operas produced. Luckily he lived to so great an age that he re eeiyed for many years the admiration he deserved. Naturally enough though, this splendid artist regretted his years of obscurity and neglect and he frequently spoke bitterly of his bad fortune.
 "Once, at the very end of his long life, an Englishman entered his box at the opera in Rome, and said re- spectfully:

ITS FOOD
That Restores and Makes HealtF
 Possible.

There are stomach specialists as well as eye and ear and other special fists.
 One of these told a young lady. of New Brunswick, N. J.. to quit medi- cines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says:
 For about 12 months I suffered se- verely with gastritis. I was unable to retain much of anything on my stomach, and consequently was com pelled to give up my occupation.
 'I took quantities of medicine, and had an idea l was dieting, but I con tinued to suffer. and soon lost 15 pounds in weight. I was depressed in spirits and lost interest in every thing generally My mind was so af- 'fected that it was impossible to be- come interested in even the lightest reading matter.
 After suffering for months l de cided to go to a stomach specialist He put me on Grape-Nuts and my health began to improve immediately. It was the keynote of new life.
 'I found that had been eating too much starchy food which did not di- gest, and that the cereals which had tried had been too heavy. l soon proved that it is not the quantity of food that one eats, but the quality.
 Tn a few weeks l was able to go back to my old business of doing cler- ical work. I have continued to eat GrapeNuts for both the morning and evening meal. l wake in the morning with a clear mind and feel rested. l regained nay lost weight in a short time. l am we'll and happy again and owe il to Grape-Nuts.'

 Waking up these southern farmers to their neglected opportunities is the present work of one of the most efficient organizations in Uncle Sam's agricultural corps It was nothing short of an inspiration that the experts hit upon the plan of proving that their corn fairy tales could come true through the medium of the farmer boys of the south. The lads enlisted in this country wide demonstration work and 46,000 of them have lately been giving their fa- thers object lessons right at home. What is more, many Of the fathers have taken the lessons to heart and after seeing with their own eyes what phenomenal yields be made if corn be cul- tvated the book chaps" at the agricultural department prescribe they have become converts to the new ideas and have announced that hence forth they will cultivate corn the way their sons have been doing these past few months. It will mean only fraction more time and work and 1t means production doubled or trebed or quad rupled.
 Of course the government gave instructions to these lads to how to till the soil in the most advantageous manner, but the enthusiasm which resulted in corn harvests that have made the whole world sit up and take notice inspired

Of course the gov ernment did not offer these prizes. Uncle Sam has no money available for such purposes. but the department of agriculture engineered the whole scheme and got the public-sprited citizens of more than a dozen states interested that they put up the prizes mentioned. Individuals such as bankers and merchants and organiza tions such boards of trade, county superin- tendents of education. chambers of commerce, etc. contributed to the list of prizes which in the grand total footed up to more than S40.000

Sire to interfere with the growing of our greatest agricultural staple in that broad section of the country where corn has long been the princi- pal standby of the farmer. The new Han of the department of agricul- ture-for of course that is the branch Of our government machinery that has charge of this new activity-is simply In effect to make two blades of grass irow where only one grew before.
 Although all the world has been lsasping in astonishment these many years past at the bumper crops of corn this country turns out each year. the experts of the government some time since came to the conclusion that great as was the national corn yield 1t was not as big as it ought to be. Furthermore, they thought they foresaw time when, with our rapidly growing population, the corn crop would not be any too big for our own American appetite and, of course, if that came to pass, we would lose more pr less of our foreign trade, for vast quantity of Yankee corn products now find their way to dinner tables over. seas.
 On the theory of a stitch in time the agricultural sharps proceeded to get busy over this impending prob lem. First they set about increasing the yield of corn per acre and latterly they have entered upon the even more significant mission of extending the corn growing area. AS our readers are aware most of the corn crop has been grown heretofore in the middle

The Montgomdry County Times IS anxious to ascertain what Garland county is going to do in the matter of the distsibution of the judicia, pie in the new judicial district. 4nat paper says:
 Gotham and Graham will run for the judgeship. with Cobb. wood ana Wilmington for prosecuting attor ney. xxx. The question arises: Is Montgomery county entitled, in the opinion of Garland, to either Of tnere offices at this time?"
 Hard question. that.
 There is no doubt but that Mont gomery county. representing one- third of the voting strength of the district, is entitled 10 snare in the political honors of the district. But how to reach an agreement will be another matter.
 In rhe old days of political ma chine there would have been poll tieal boss who would have said to ahe aspiring candidates. Step aside from this race and give it to Mont gomery' and that mandate would have been followed.
 Under conditions as they now exist there is no bossism. neither is there
 any recognized authority on who shall and who shall not If man wants to offer for nomination re- gardless of his residence, there is no way to keep him out.
 There is a way, however. to dereat 1nis or that candidate before the people, through the voters recognizing the right of the county of lesser pop ulation. There are three district officers, circuit judge. prosecuting attorney. and state senator.
 At least one of these ornclal hon. ors should be given to a Montgomery county man. Which shall 1t be2
