1 see Charley Anderson, too, has
been assaulted It's a cold dav in Ice
land when Charley Anderson fails to
get in the zone Of publicity. Charley
won't let any one beat him to it.
Since the announcement that Presi-
dent Taft had the pinkeye, I have
been watching the newspapers daily
in expectation of learning that Char
ley Anderson has got the pinkeye
also, and the further announcement
that he contracted it before the Presi-
dent did. At that, Charley is a past
master when it comes to playing the
game of politics. He's all things to
all men, and then a special thing to a
special man, and by doing his acrobat
ic stunt in twQ-ring circus, while the
band is playing All COons Look
Alike" he manages to keep away up
in front. You can't lose Charley.
He's always right on his job, handing
out salve to the susceptible, and rOasts
to the blind, deaf and dumb. l don't
think the robbers that held Charley
up were really after money or jewels.
My private opinion, publicly ex-
pressed, is that they were two fellows
with a champagne thirst. But give it
to Charley; he never gets lost when
the cards are shufled l knew that
just as soon as DR.. Washington got
assaulted Charley would get in some
kind of a jam You remember that
old song: He's the only Charley that
we've got, and he's got the other
Charleys beat block" Well, that's
him.

More Light Than Darkness

At Christmas time 1t is customary
to emphasize the virtues OF peace
and good will, not only among indi-
viduals but between nation and ma
tion-and that is well, but there is
no disputing the fact that not for
many years have International pol
itcs been so lorboding as they are
at the present time.
There is civil war in China, with
no telling what the end will be;
savage war between Italy and Tur-
key, angry feelings, mistrust and
jealousy between Germany and Eng
land, and unpleasant and unsatis-
factory relations between this coun-
try and Russia over the Jewish qucs-
tion, and friction between Russia
and Persia Truly conditions are
grave,
Yet it would be foolish to take Il
pessimistic view Of things. In spite
Of much to cause anxiety there is
also much to cheer and inspire con-
hdence, and this feeling is increased
when one compares present condi
tions with what prevailed a century
ago Progress toward universal
peace is slow but it is sure. The
Christ spirit is being diilused more
and more and the world is every
day becoming a better place in
which to live.
Even in the present conditions re.
ierred to there is much that is hope
iul, Although no one can tell with
certainty the outcome in China, yet
in all probability it will make for
enlightenment and liberty with their
consequent blessings AS to Ger
many and Great Britain the crisis
has passed and although the rela-
tions are yet strained time, patience
and wise craftsmanship will cause
the angry passions TO cool and be

THANKSGIVING day has come and
gone but the spirit Of thankfulncss
may well continue, and it certainly
will if we acquire the habit of count
ing up our blessings, After all there
are exceedingly few lives in which
the balance is not overwhelmingly
on the side of blessings, At first
with some people, this may not
seem true, but an honest FACING of
the question will show they are mis-
taken. And anyway it rests mostly
with oneself whether his life shall be

synopsis of the Turner, Jacobson bill,

throughout the state, setting forth
briefly the features Of that have a
bearing on the interests Of the tax

he should ask and answer another

ILLINOIS CORN
GROWER WINS
KELLOGG TROPHY
r. A. James Of Charleston, ILL.,, is the
1910 Winner of $1,000 cup-Grows
Best Ear in the 3,125,713, 900 Bushels
of Last Years Bumper Crop.

r. A. James, of Charleston, Ill.,, has
the proud distinction of having grown
the best ear of corn in all the 1928.
713,6OO bushels Of last years bumper
crop. At the National Corn Show
just held at Columbus, Ohio, this gen.
t1eman was awarded the w. K. Kel.
logg National Corn Trophy, donated
in 1909 by w. K. Kellogg, president
of the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake
Co., of Battle Creek, Mich.
Thousands of ears Of corn from all
parts of the country and Of all varie'
ties were entered in the competition,
The selection of the grand champion
Sweepstakes and the award of the
Kellogg trophy were made on general
points of superiority.
The ear of corn grown by Mr.. James
is of Reds Yellow Dent variety It is
10 inches long, IL inches in circum-
ference, and has 20 rows of kernels, q
to the inch in the row, average SO of
an inch in depth, and SIG of an inch
in width. 1t is indeed a very correct
type of yellow dent corn.
Mr. James, the winner, is a vigorous
