A peculiar feature is that while
the Kellogg product is made ex-
clusively from selected white
corn, the Kellogg trophy has
been won each time by a yellow
corn exhibit. The trophy is Of
fered for annual competition un-

same grower.
The National Corn Show at

Mr.. James, the winner, is a
vigorous farmer about 40 years
of age and of pleasing personali-
ty, a man who has given careful
study to corn culture, and who
has achieved his success as a
grand champion winner only by
years of hard work and paintak-
ing seed selection and careful
breeding from season to season.
The corn growers of Illinois are
especially elated over the result
for the reason that this is the
first time in four yaars that the
honors have been wrested from
the State of Indiana. Last years

the Kellogg trophy. was grown
by Mr.. Fred c. Palm, of New

For Girls Only.

Girls, did you ever stop to
think that boys have more self
respect than members of your
sex? There is not a young man
of any responsibility that would
be seen with a girl that was in
toxicated. You might search the
streets with a fine tooth comb
and not find a young man that
would lock arms and go prone
nading with girl who is putting
a cigarette or squirting tobacco
juice around on the sidewalk.
Some girls have no besitancy in
accepting the company of such
characters, and too many of them
are anxious for the companion
ship, heart and hand of every
thing mannish that wears pants.
Society will never be refined un-
til the girls demand of the boys
the purity of character that the
boys demand of the girls. Over
the young ladies hangs the posi-
bility of the greatest reform that
ever swept over the country.

ward and put up candidates for
State offices. Thus far there has
been no Republican mentioned
for either of the United States
senatorships. Five candidates in
the Democratic party have declar-
ed their intention of making the
race for the two positions vacant
in 1913 and 1915. But no Repub-
lican has announced that he will
try for the senatorship.
Here is the way Republican
whose views are worthy of atten-
ton sizes up the political situa-
ton in Louisiana:
''The Democrats have run their
course. The time is coming
when the disgruntled Democrats
must ally themselves with the
white Republicans of the State
and elect a governor who will be
the servant, not the master, of
the people.
Who would be an acceptable
candidate for governor on the
Republican ticket next fall?" |
asked.
''The most acceptable man,
was the answer, would be Pearl
Wight, national Republican COM
mitteeman from this State.
Il have every reason for be-
lieving that Mr.. Wight would
not accept the honor. He has
turned down several offers of
Office.
He believes in good govern
ment and is a great admirer of
John M. Parker, chairman of the
city campaign committee of the
Democratic Good Government
League of Louisiana.
'Pharr, who was the Republi-
can candidate four years ago for
governor, am told, is not anx-
ious to again enter the race"
Clarence S. Hebert, the new
collector of the port Of New Or
leans, is looked upon as the
Moses of the present day Re-
publicans.
Il am told by men in a position
to state facts that Hebert has
been given the task of rejuvenat-
ing the Republican party of the
State. He is regarded as a good
organizer, a clever speech-maker,
and, holding, as he does, the
most responsible federal position
in the South, is looked up to by
the Republicans lower in the
party's ranks. He has a big job
before him, if he seeks to put
new life into the boys They
are disgruntled because they be-
lieve the federal office holders in

The Republicans are Simply Waiting.
''The Disagreeable Man" of
the N. O. Item is a keen observer
of the trend of events, and, while
his ''sarkasm" is evidently tinged
with considerable dislike for Dem
ocratic men and measures, still
he is bluntly honest in hurting
out homely truths as he sees
them. Here is the way he sizes
up the situation:

Disagreeable Man, that the Lily

of the men who makes or un-
makes men in the Republican
party.

1T all depends on how far apart
the factions in the Democratic
party get. What the discontents
should do is to ally themselves
with the Republicans of the State
and / believe we could carry il
on a fusion ticket. 1t is a sad
state of affairs that which has
resulted from the election OF
Judge w. B. Sommerville to the
supreme court bench. There
was no occasion for ballot box
stufing when he was elevated te
the highest tribunal of the State,

The two men in question are Gosman.

Broome, an old Y. NJ. c. A. representa-

the meet held at Carroll Institute last
winter, being thrown after two draw

other man never got by the prelimina ries.
The two of them, from all accounts,

the other fellows. both to the coach and to
the rest Of the squad.
These things are not conducite to the
real welfare of the institution. and they
are not conducive to the best development
OF the track team, in fact. the Blue and
Gray coach says that under the conditions
II Is practically impossible to ever turn
out representative aggregation. and he
will quit before he will have the men
dictate to him as TO what he shall do in
regard 10 the development of the squad
and the picking OF the men who are TO
compose the different teams.
While there have been rumors time and
again to the effect that there is a senti-
ment among certain set Of the student
body in regard to the students from the
other schools taking part in athletics. this
is the first instance in which any coach
has ever barred the real facts and stated
that such is the case, and that if it is not
done away with Immediately he will re-
sign his position.
While il was not generally known. the
relay team as it stood after the trials
last Tuesday came near not taking the
trip to Boston of it's own accord. Sew
eTal of the men on the four felt the
slightsaccorded them to a great degree.
and they made it plain to Coach Foley
that they did NOT intend TO go. and 1t
was Foley'S personal interceding that
caused them finally to decide to make the
trip
Foley made it plain that it was not
the major part of the student body at
the college who were guilty of the Of
lenses. but that it is due to a clique OF
a few men who seem to be at the head OF
athletic affairs at the school. 1t was
stated that the main body of the students
are fair minded and glad TO make every
effort in their power to further the inter
ests of the university. but that cut OF
jealousy some other reason there are
few who are not.
That all has not been harmony on the
track squad this year has been an open
secret to those who are conversant with
the conditions. but that affairs should
come to head SO suddenly gives rise to
the opinion that matterSare even worse
than were supposed Just what will come

that Coach Foley has taken his stand
and means TO stand up for what he be-
