these record crops mean so much 20 the
boys Is that the corn sells for seed in
their region at several times the market
price Some of them in a little while
will turn their attention to raising seed
corn altogether.
One OF the tiniest tots OF the lot was
Jerry Moore OF Winona, 8. c.. who raised
the 2es-bushel crop. He Is the son OF a
Methodist circuit rider and the youngest
of nine children. He raised his corn or
the parsonage lot. and consequently had
no rent to pay 70. II. but lie charged
himself s. for the rent, In calculating the
cost OF the crop.
Floyd Gayer of Oklahoma Is another
OF the little fellows. lie raised bis corn
on land that his father rents from an
Indian. lie is the youngest OF three
children, and Is stu at school lie plans
10 mako enough money TO continue
through an agricultural college This
year, In an open competition with men
at Ardmore he won SIS I'm gold and the
boys prize OF S95. The people Of Ard
more promised 20 send the boy to Wash
ington in the spring, but Senator Gore
offered the state prize. and the boy won
that Next year he plans to put five
acres in cotton, His list OF prizes Is re-
tnarkably various. lie won Jersey COW
worth $50 a pair OF shoes. an overcoat
worth $40 two pigs $50 in cash, a S suit
case, s. hat, a rug and an axe.
Joe stone OF Georgia Is another boy
prize winner, who has TO walk three
miles to school. and whose father farms
on half shares.
These are soma samples OF the corn
club boys. Not only have they all raised
big crops, but the corn from each OF
these record crops has been sold for seed
TO surrounding farmers for next year at
as high as s. a bushel. and each OF the
demonstration acres has been visited by
an average OF 100 farmers who wanted
pointers on how IL was done.
No wonder the officials of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture are pleased. 1t is

corn crop 81 the United States that has
I yet been made.-Country Life in America.

government ideas anyhow SIN, he told
the boy II he would clear an acre of the
stump land no could have Il for the
crop, provided, OF course, he did not ask
his dad 10 spend any money or trouble
on II.
The boy went TO work and cleared the
land. Anyone who is personally ac-
qualnted With light-wo stumps knows
how closely they approximate granite in
composition, and clearing an acre was
OF itself a Hercuean task for such a
baby; q boy at an age when many city
reared children stlll have a French nurse
tagging after them. However, the Job
eventually was done. And then the
farmer took the acre away from him.
Mean? Can any father holding down a
city Job with HIS boy in the fourth grade,
and wondering II the work is not too
hard for him. imagine anything much
meaner? Then the tenant farmer told his
youngster II he would clear another acre
of land he might really have that. What
sort OF stuff that boy Is made OF can be
Judged from the fact that he took up
the challenge and cleared another acre

Mrs. MCGUIRE is a peculiar charac'
ter. In whom the instinct TOR shop
lifting seems 10 be merely an outcrop-
ping OF an abnormal mind. While she
was serving in the Lansing jail after
the shoplifting cscapade, she myster-
iously escaped, and il was thought
that she had a gang Of accomplices.
Since going 10 the Detroit institution,
the instinct has apparently taken a
different turn, and she has feigned
sickness and injury. going about on
crutches and sometimes refusing TO
leave her cell Physicians have ex-
amined her and say that she is ply
sically in good health,
The relatives, a daughter from Mil
waukee and one from Connecticut,
apparently did not know of these
phases OF the case.
Gov. Osborn called up Superinten-
dent J. L. Mcdonnell and held Is
minute conversation with him over
the telephone. Then he told the wo-
men he could do nothing for them, as
he had every confidence In Supt. Nc
Donell. The women offered to give a
bond to take care of their mother, but
this was not acceptable. Finally, they
mentioned the names of friends in
Milwaukee OF whose integrity Gov.
Osborn was satisfied, and ne promised
that when the woman's minimum SEN
tence expired next August, he would
consider a recommendation that she
be paroledS He gave the daughters
strictly to understand. however. that
this would be only on condition OF
bonds being given to keep her out OF

The address of Mayor j. w. Hanna.
OF Windsor, on "Canada's relations

the most interesting feature of the
post-prandial program. His utter
ances were timely, inasmuch as they
had to do largely with the proposed
reciprocity treaty. Mr.. Hanna talked
against reciprocity, reminding his
hearers that Canada Is not as keen
for free trade relations with the Uni

ed a similar treaty In 1866, forcing
Canada to seek new markets for her
products. He expressed the opinion,
however, that the Canadian parlia-
