Bows Corn Clubs,

The boys corn clubs organized in
the south by Dr. S. A. Knapp and
maintained with the cooperation OF
the Department of Agriculture are pro-
ducing great results. Last year the
total corn crop OF the nation came to
more than 5000, 900 900 bushels and
the south produced Al per cent of it.
Yet the south has not been considered
a great corn section. II it continues
to gain as 1t has in the last few
years. however, Nebraska. Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and one or
two other great cOrn-growing states
will have to look to their laurels or be
outstripped in the race for supremacy.
But we have this atisfaction-that
We are helping our neighbors down in
Dixie to increase their corn output.
We are doing II by promoting the sys-
tenn Of intensive agriculture and the
south is ready to admit the fact. Con
gresham Ransdell OF Louisiana in
recent speech on the floor Of the
house, reciting some of the excellent
results achieved by these boys corn
clubs, called attention TO the fact that
they were organized and are being
maintained by a former Iowan, DIT. s.
A. Knapp, who works under the super
vision and authority OF Secretary
Wilson, another Iowan. Moreover he
took occasion to pay special tribute to
Secretary Wilson for his great influ-
ence in aiding the south along lines Of
improved farming.
The theory on which these boys
clubs were organized was that il would
be difficult TO try to teach the men Of
the south the new and better ways
Of producing corn. but taking the boy
before he knew any way OF his own,

mo- Dust. Throwinp This Time.

The Water board is said to be pre-
pairing to submit another bond propo-
sition to the voters of Omaha as one
more step in the process of "immedi-
ate and compulsory" purchase Of the
water works began eight years ago.
When the people were induced two
years ago to authorize an issue of
$6.5OO,OOO of bonds they were led by
the Water board TO believe that that
would finish the job. The vote on the
bonds two years ago was, therefore,
plainly procured through misrepresen-
tation, else the Water board would not
have to come back now for more. II
we are to vote again on an issue of
water bonds Of from $7,5OO,O0O to
$40, 100000, let us have no dust
throwing this time. Let US have the
straight OF 1t from the Water board
and let us know exactly how deep we
are in the hole, how much it will cost

the way Of service and water rates

Not Much of n Record.

Charles G.. Gates Travelled 5000 miles on a
special train in little more than three
days, which is called a record breaking run.
Yet it calls for an average speed Of only
fifty miles an hour for twenty hours a day,
allowing four hours a day for stops. Upon
well-constructed railroads II is easy to make
much greater speed. II would have been
easy to do so at any time in the last thirty
years. Railroad men have held that it
would not pay to quicken runs generally,
but with the prevailing glut of business
there would surely be some economy in
having certain train occupy certain tracks
three days instead Of five days.

Assemblyman James A. Hendrickson of
Red Bank, N. j., with keen eye to the

the taking or selling of Holsters under

Holsters that are now ruthlessly taken

more years In which TO wax fat and sweet
for the palates of the Broadway diners.
The penalty provided is a fine OF from

bill will rebound TO the advantage OF the
Jersey fisherman, as It will insure the
confined prosperity of the lobster industry.
whereas, If the present unrestricted catch
ing Of the red-clawed tribe is continued,
fishermen will eventually look to their
lobster pots in vain for a satisfactory re-
