test, and believe the results will fully
compensate the extra work as we'll
as give the farmers in this section
the benefit of such experiments.

motors of county bitches He work.
ed several years and spent consider
able time and money to establish
Ditch No. 2 in Polk county. He was
the leading spirit in building the Ia
Dor telephone line, which was the first
rural line in this vicinity.
When Mr. Bren moved to Warren.
he became one of the most liberal
supporters of the Presbyterian church
in this city. He also contributed lib
orally to the Warren hospital and to
many other good causes. You could
always depend On Joseph Bren to sup
port any good canse.
At the time of his death the news
were flashed On the numerous wires
thru the country for hundreds d miles
before the neighbors just across the
street had heard the sad tidings The
words that fell from many lips We're
Where shall we find another man
like Joe Bren.'' He was a good, use
full and enterprising citizen and a pro-
gressive farmer, but he was. first of
all, true Christian and kind ard
loving husband and father. AS

CORN DAY. DREW BIG CROWD

The Farmers Institute specially ar
ranged fer Corn Day., last Friday,
brought a large number of farmers to
the city. Supt. E. NJ Mitchell, of the
Warren Schools, presided
The first speaker was Prof. Zeidler.
teacher in agriculture OF the Warren
schools, who dwelt upon the import
ance of securing good seed corn. He
told about how the corn should be
selected the best manner of Sc
curing same and the necessity of test.
ing before planting. He volunteered
to test seed corn for the farmers IN
this vicinity who desire him to do so.
In Prof. Zeidler the Warren schools
have man, evidently, who not only
will advance the teaching of agricul-
ture in the schools, but will also do
what he can to help the cause of agri-
culture generally in this community.
In the absence of c.. O. Carlson, Of
Erskine, who could not come, Prof
Williams of the University Extension
Division had been sent here, and he
gave a very good talk on the impor-
tance of mixed farming. The single
crop system is not the right method
of farming, as it robs the soil of it's
fertility and puts nothing back. When
selling and exporting grain to Eur
ope. farmers are selling and export
ing soil fertility as well. Cattle must
be kept so as to restore soil fertility in
the form of manure. and an intelli
gent system Of crop rotation must be
followed.
MIR. G. A. Tullar gave a very meaty
and practical talk on corn culture.
Before touching upon his subject he
discussed in a very able manner the
necessity of changing our methods of
farming in this valley. Conditions
change and Therefore methods must
change. In discussing corn culture
Mr. Tullar gave many excellens
points gathered from his own exper-
ience, and it would have been WORTH
any farmers time to have come here
twenty miles to near him
VIM c. Miller, of McCrea, was in-
/ troduced and told of his, experience
! in raising corn in this valley. He had
planted twenty acres to corn on the
26th of May and it had yielded him
an immense amount of fodder. It was
one of the most profitable crops that
the farmer can raise. He made the
point that corn must be planted on
land well drained Mr.. Miller came
here from Iowa. hence has grown up
in a corn field. and knows all about
growing the cereal. His remarks
were practical and well received
Arthur Kurz, an intelligent and
wide-awake farmer boy, the son of
John KurZ, of Warrenton. next gaze
a very good talk telling of his exper-
ience in feeding corn fodder to stock
They hauled the fodder from the field
and fed it to the cattle and while they
! did not get all the nutriment out OF
the fodder in this way, yet he was
sure that the corn land yielded the
| best profits. BY means of the silo bet
ter results can be obtained. He ad
vised every farmer to plant some corn
this year. and learn to raise it. He
was sure it would pay them well.

A Crime of Society.

Andrew 10th left prison in PittsbursI
Saturday after 20 years of confinement
for crime he did not commit. His att
tude on leaving Jail was one of devous
gratitude that he was at least freed ano;
cleared. 1t would not have been strange,
if he had been, instead, embttered BY,
the great sin af society committed agains
him. The 20 years every morning he had
hoped for Justice, and every evening hac,
gone to his prison cot again wrongecI
and disappointed man.
10th was not even present when Mi,
chael Quinn was killed in the Edgal,
Thomson steel works 20 years ago Hei
was later pointed out as the murderer BY
fellow-workman who IN sulky fl
sought that easy way of getting even
with him. 1t was easy to find out at the
time whether he had been in the mill OF
not but no one took the trouble properly
to defend the poor immigrant who knew
no English and had no friends. Society
was offended by the murder; here was ar.
accused man; to prison he went, ancl
stayed until diving mans conscience a,
last revealed the truth.
Such revelation shakes public faith,
in the administration of justice far more
than the evil delays and misplaced leni',
ency of which just complaint is heard. [
is the law that until he is proved guilty,
an accused man must be held innocent
10th was never proved guilty; he was
''railroaded'; and if all the sudden wealttl
of all the mllionaires of Pittsburg were
rolled upon him in great golden hooc
it could not right the wrong done him.

able interference in Mexico for the same
purpose, the pacification of the Soudan
by Great Britain or Great Britain'S armed
interference in India for the suppression
OF centuries of strife between the petty
principalities of that country are, by Mr..
Dillon's Interpretation, coercion. Any
interference with mobocracy or anarchy
is according to this Irishman, an interfer-
ence with the rights of man.
Congress will reaSSemble in two weeks
and there is of course much interest and
speculation with reference to what it will
do. 1t is assumed that the Canadian
reciprocity treaty will be approved by the
Senate and there is expectation that some
OF the important tariff schedules will be
lowered, or that an effort will at least be
made to lower them. 1t is deplorable
that politics must enter SO largely into
questions that should be purely economi-
cal and that both parties have heart and
eyes askance on the presidency in every
question that comes up for legislation.
There is much speculation with reference
to political divisions and combinations Of
insurgents and stand-patters, progressive
and retrogressive Democrats. The SEN
sational retirement of Senator Bailey, of
Texas, on the last day of the last session
and his precipitato jump back into the
Senate it is thought has considerably
weakened such influence as he NAV have
had with the Democratic minority He
was one of the ''snags" that did not go
on the 4th of March.
