Louisiana to Raise Corn

1t is the dream of some of
those interested to make the
territory adjacent to New Or
leans the corn belt of the
United States. This may startle
the farmers of Kansas, Illinois,
Nebraska, Iowa and other states
but figures show that Louis
lana, at least, is growing fast
as a corn-producing state. In
1908 it produced 81, 1913, 900
bushels and in 1909, 81, 1913, 900
bushels, an increase Of go per
cent-a greater percentage in
crease than any state in the
Union. The crop for this year
is expected to be $4,000, 900
bushels. Not only will corn be
the product of reclaimed lands,
but almost every known pro-
duct except possibly apples and
wheat can be grown.-Popular
Mechanics.

Surprise Party

The ''mean men" are inclin-
ed to say usually that a woman
reaches a stage where she does
MT have any more birthdays,
but evidently Mrs. G. T. Hop
kins hasn't reached that stage
yet as Saturday last she invit-
ed Mrs. j. B. Lyon, of Denison,
up for supper to help her cele-
brate her birthday properly.
Several other ladies hearing of
the invitation, decided that
they would help her celebrate
it in more befitting style, so at
three o'clock, each lady attired
in a calico gown, met at the
Hoyer home and quietly pro-
ceeded to march in and sur
prise Mrs. Hopkins. She evil
IDENTIFY was very preoccupied or
she would have heard them
coming for two blocks away,
but when they arrived, she GER
tainly was the most surprised
woman in this town. The la
dies presented her with a beau
tiful bouquet of jonquils and
carnations and some one re-
marked that if they could have
found candles enough they
would have made a birthday
cake. They all enjoyed them
selves in their own way until
six o'clock, when everybody
served supper, and from all re-
ports, the ladies enjoyed them
selves to the fullest in every
sense of the word.

RUNAWAY
Another Runaway, Result Of
a Dog Barking at Horses
Ilecls

The excitement at the polls
today was increased somewhat
when a horse driven by Howard
Evans from the Evans livery
barn, ran away, making every
thing in It's way take to the
woods. Even the steps on the
east side of DR.. DeVore's office
suffered the loss of about half
of its steps. When in front of
the post office, driving east, the
horse which Howard was driv-
ing became frightened at a
dog and made a plunge to get
away, but he quickly brought
him down again, when another
dog ran out at the horse. This
time the hold back strap broke,
letting the buggy run up onto
the horse ard tnen he sure did
go some. Not in a very straight
line either, for when he saw
the alley leading down past DR..
DeVore's office he figured his
speed faster than ne was going
and started to mzke the turn a
little too soon. The front bug
gy wheel hit the stairs and then
Ed Purcell, who was riding
with Evans, hit the building on
the east side of the alley, re-
ceiving only a slight scratch.
Evans stuck to the ship for
about twenty yards further
when the horse espied an old
cutter sled off to one side and
Immediately took for it. This
is where Evans got out. The
horse tuned up good then and
ran up Railroad street to Sew
enth where he collided with a
tree and separated himself
from the buggy. This seemed
to be his one ambition as he
was very docile and was easily
caught after he became loose
from the buggy. Neither oc-
cupant of the buggy were hurt
but they stated that such fast
riding didn't appeal to them.
The buggy will stand about
$500 worth of repairs very
nicely unless they decide to use
it for a remembrance.

Ten Good Reasons for Home
Patronage

/. Your home merchants
can duplicate the prices made
by any responsible concern any,
where on goods of equal quality,
in the same quantities and on
the same basis of delivery and
payment.
2. You can exam ne your
purchases in the HON stores
and be assured Of sat faction
before investing your money.
3. Your home merchants
are always ready and willing to
make right any error or any
defective article purchased.
a Your home merchants
help support, through direct
and Indirect taxation, your
schools, churches, libraries and
other public institutions.
5. Your home merchants
help make a good local market
for everything you have to sell,
and that market more than
any other factor gives your
land its present value.
6. Your home merchants
are your good friends, ever
ready to extend a helping hand
in time of need.
z Ii this community is
good enough for you to live in
and make your money in, it's
good enough to spend it in.
8 The best citizens in this COM
munity are those who believe
in and practice home patron
age. Be one of the best!
9. The merchants in the dis
tant city give you nothing val
able that the home merchants
cannot give you-and the form.
err cannot and will not do for
you many things the latter do
gladly.
10. Every dollar kept in cir
culation in this community
helps increase property values.
Every dollar sent out of this
community that could as we'll be
spent here binders the whe ! of
progress and helps build up
some other community at your
expense. Omaha Trade Elk.

Yakima Ships 1000 Cars.

The Yakima valley shipped 1880 cars
of fruit this season. During Novem-
ber there have been known shipments
of 89 ears from North Yakima, and an
accurate tabulation will probably bring
the total for the valley to 100 cars
To November ] the two railroads in
the valley, the Northern Pacific and
the 0.-W. R. & NJ, had shipped ap-
proximately 1890 cars of fruit of all
kinds. OF this total the Northern
Pacific handled about 800 and the o.
W. R. & N about $50.
The amount of apples remaining in
the Yakima valley is variously esti.
mated by dealers from 100 to 200 cars.
