 On second thought, madam, we have decided to offer, for Monday only a reward of $9,99999."

Encouraqe Corn Raising.

Little Rock.-Five thousand boys are making Arkansas one of the greatest corn producing States in the Union. The figures of the last cen sus show that the corn belt slipped down several hundred miles to the southward, and a part of this is due to the activity of the boys corn clubs of this state. During the past year the farmers of Arkansas have aver aged but nineteen bushels of corn to the acre. In 1909 the boys corn clubs averaged fifty-one bushels to the acre; in 1910 the average has fifty-seyen bushels for the boys, and in 1911 it is expected that the figure will run to sixty bushels

MAYOR IS oUsTED BY WOMEN

The women of Seattle, Wash, exer- cising their political power for the first time, recently busted from office Mayor Hiram c. Gill and elected as his successor George w. Dilling. While the women did not accomplish this work alone, they were in large measure instrumental in bringing it about, so much so that the result would have been different had they not voted. Gill was elected mayor of Seattle year ago by a majority of $500. Women were then denied the right of suffrage, but in November were clothed with that power Almost from the start Gills administration came in for sharp criticism
 As soon as the woman suffrage amendment to the constitution was adopted last November the move ment to ''recall' Gill under a provi- sion of the city charter and elect a successor to serve the unexpired term took form and the women entered into the camDaign with enthusiacm

MEMORIAL DAY PROCLAMATION

Next Tuesday, May Both, being
memorial day, it seems but right and
fitting that the citizens Of Canton,
South Dakota, properly observe that
day. The day is designated by an act
of congress to remind the citizens Of
our great country Of heroism and 10y
atty displayed and OF the suffering en-
dured by those who answered the call
of the government to preserve the
Union and make this country what it
is today. 1t is but fitting for all of
us to pay tribute to those who gave
their lives to preserve the Union and
revere those who fought for our flag
and are still fortunate to be with us.
Therefore, we request the business
houses of our city to remain closed on
Memorial day from 10 a. M, to p.
NJ, In order to give everyone chance
TO help the surviving veterans to pay
their silent tribute to our dead
heroes. We also would request that
no ball games or other sports be held
on that day within the city limits.

1t was known that he had been
seriously sick for nearly three weeks
but all hoped for his recovery, as some
improvement in his condition had
been reported the day before the
silent messenger called him from
family and friends. Though his
rheumatism and other troubles had
been serious at times none Of his as
sociates could think Of his leaving
them al this time, hence the unex-

which we scrutinized thoroughly, but
