ANOTHER BUMPER CORN CROP.
Last Years New England Record Broken
connecticut Man Raised Nearly 11s
Bushels SheIIed Corn per Acre.

Last year the attention of the entire
United States was attracted to New
England by the feat of a Massachusetts,
farmer in obtaining a yield of 1903. 23
bushels of cut-dry shelled corn per acre.
This was hailed as a world record for the
production of corn, and won the Bowker
grand prize of $500.
This year the record is broken by an
even more remarkable yield. The prize
has just been awarded to Lester S..
White Of Collinsville, Connecticut, for
his yield of 112.6S bushels of shelled corn
per acre, gain Of 91a bushels. This
yield had beef production value of 1868
pounds for the acre.
The effects of this are far reaching
The New England farmer now knows
exactly what he can do in producing
corn. The enormous yields of corn here
tofore claimed elsewhere have had the
effect of discouraging him from growing
corn because he felt that he could not
approach them. He now knows that
they were harvest weight and were
largely water and that when 1t comes to
actual merchantable grain he can pro-
duce as much on his farm as anyone in
the country. Thus he will be encouraged
to plant more corn instead of buying west
ern corn, which may come to him after
long sojourn in western elevators in
poor condition, and containing less
actual food value than the crib-dry New
England corn.
He is also realizing that he really gets
his fertilizer money back several times
over; not only in the crop, but in the
improved condition of the land for the
crops that follow. Corn is not only the
surest crop grown in New England, but
one of the best in a rotation.
The New England farmer now has
start towards doing his part in booming
New England, and he will hold up his
end If his friends in the Chamber of
Commerce will do their part in encour-
aging him wherever Decentralization

Roosevelt Assalis Taft Trust Policy.

In recent issue of the Outlook, for
mer President Roosevelt has an eight
page article entitled THE Trusts. the
People and the Square Deal" in which
ne condemns the Taft administration for
its suit against the steel trust. its ac-
ceptance of the tobacco trusts plan Of
dissolution, and its general attitude
toward the trusts. Col Roosevelt saws
that the steel suit has brought wildly
before the people 1.-The need of reducing
to order our chaotic government policy
as regards business. At some length he
reviews the GaryF rick interview with
himself at the time of the Tennessee
purchase by the steel trust, and is still
convinced that they told him the truth.
He insists that that purchase gave the
trust only 10 or 20 per cent of the South
ern iron lands. To meet the trust situa-
ton by series of law suits instead of
administrative action seems to the ex-
president hopeless. Regulation by
government bureau, not harsh measures
or war, Is what he thinks is wanted, and
says 1T Is absurd to treat the large
size OF a corporation as a crime in it.

N. D. Schools Get Raise.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Although the
house and senate conferees remain
deadlocked over certain senate amend-
ments to the Indian appropriation bill,
the committee has agreed to the fol-
lowing North Dakota propositions.
Wahpeton Indian school, $4,000.
This is an increase of 100000 over the
bill as it left the house. The increase
is to be used for the construction Of
a boys n girls dormitory.
Fort Totten Indian school, $4,000.
This increase vas made necessary by
the committee raising the capacity of
the school from 800 to 400 students.
The conferees nave agreed to an
amendment calling upon the interior
department for a statement Of fiscal
affairs of all Indian schools, the size
of the investment, the needs and feas-

RECIPROCITY UP
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
NOW CONSIDERING TREATY
WITH CANADA.
APPEAR 1OFAYOR TREATY
Vote on Consideration Stood 1e5-to
1871 Which it is Claimed Will Be
Approximately the Final Vote
On Adoption.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 13.-The
house by a vote of 1876 to 121, decided
today to begin immediate considera-
ton of the Mccall bill carrying out the.
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
No agreement has been reached as to
the limit of debate but the bill may be
passed today.
While the vote, to displace the regu-
lar order of today on the house cal
endar and take up reciprocity, cannot
be accepted as an exact indication Of
the final vote on the bill, it is regarded
as being approximately so.
The vote against taking up the
measure today came almost wholly
from the republican side. The demo-
Gratis voted almost solidly for i'm
mediate consideration.
Immediately after the house met
today Representative Mccall of Mass
achusetts called up the reciprocity bill
for immediate consideration. Objec-
ton was made by members of the
District of Columbia committee, this
being district day on the house calen-
lar. The point Of no quorum was also
made.
To insure a full vote a call of the
house was ordered n all the absen-
tees summoned to the chamber.

his eyesight was bad. The doctor
looked at him for a while and then
said:
How can you prove to me that
your eyesight is bad?"
Pat looked about the room and at

out squarely in favor of the move

on which I think the majority of the
progressives are agreed is, hat the

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

II can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema It first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. I used every
thing imaginable and had one doc.
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured it. Then the eczema broke out
SO badly behind her ear that I really
thought her a would come off. For
months I doctored it but to no avail.
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. I had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so I
stopped him coming.
"For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then I got a box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was a marked improvement. In
all 1 used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and n box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. I a not praise Cuti-
cura enough, I can take my child any
where and people r amazed to see
her without a r From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a well child" (Sign.
