 These are instances of what may be termed successful ghosts. The ghosts that have failed are perhaps entitled to brief notice. A ghost once under- took to frighten the great naturalist, Cuvier. This ghost appeared with an OK head, Cuyier awoke, and found the fear ful thing glaring and grinning at his bedside.
 What do you want?n
 ITO devour you" growled the ghost
 ''Devour me-" quoth the great French- man-"hoofs, horns, graminiverous? You can't do it. Clear out,''
 And clear out the discounted ghost did.

Great Possibilities for Corn

The great possibilities for corn grow

prizes offered by Chairman Hill of the
Great Northern Railway for the best
samples submitted of the 1910 product.
This contest was open only to the school

supervision Of Prof. F. s. Cooley, Super
intendent Of the State Farmers Insti-

of the Agronomy Department of the State
Experimental Station. The corn was
judged and prizes awarded by Prof. Thos.

About 600 school children entered the
contest, but for various reasons beyond
their control, many did not reach the
goal. However, those who did finish sub

interesting Facts Regarding the
Laboratory of the Chamber
lain Medicine Co., Des
Moines, Iowa.
A person purchasing bottle
of Chamberlain Cough Remedy
has no conception of the magnitude
of the laboratory where this medi-
cine is manufactured. The machin-
cry and apparatus used in it's prep
aration YVES designed especially for
the purpose and cost several thous-
and dollars. Europe, South America
and the United State supply the
various ingredients of this remedy,
and only the highest obtainable
quality is used. No pains or ex-
pense has been spared in making it
as nearly perfect as possible.
A force of helpers representing
homes enough to populate an aver
age Iowa town are regularly en-
ployed at the plant of the Cham
berlains Medicine company at Des
Moines, Iowa. Their printing depart
ment. which is usually overlooked in
calculating the expense of bust
ness of this kind, ranks as one of
the best in the state, and is
thoroughly equipped with automatic
presses and folders of the latest i'm
proved type. Here enough print pa
per is used in one year to spread
over ten farms of 100 acres each,
upon which is printed advertising
matter, directions and labels in
twenty-eight different languages and
dialects. Enough lumber is used in
making cases in which the medicines
are shipped to build an eight room
house on each of these ten farms
every three months. The bottles
used by this firm every year, which
are filled by machinery at the rate
of 1900 per hour, if placed end to
end would reach across the United
States sewn times or almost encir-
Gle the globe.
