Mr.. Brown enters upon his fifth

Mrs. Sage SO Years Old.

Lawrence, L. L., Sept. 8.-Many
parcels containing flowers and an al
most countless number of congratA-
latory messages were received today
at the home of Mrs. Russell Sage to
remind the philanthropic widow of
the famous fnancier of her eighty
third birthday anniversary. Despite
her four-score and three years Mrs.
Sage enjoys vigorous health and is
able to devote several hours daily to
the task of examination applications
for charity or philanthropy and to
reviewing reports of the work accom-
plished by the many colleges, homes
and other institutions that have bene-
flied by her liberality. Mrs. Sage
gives little to the individual appli-
cant for charity. 1t is said that if
she responded to all the begging let
tiers she receives the Sage millions
would be exhausted within year.

Ten Per Cent of All Issued to the
Cities and Villages Goes to
Road Fund.
JUDGE McCLENAHAN so DECIDES
County Auditor Mailed Blank Re-
ports to All Clerks and Ex-
poets Answer.

A case that this county has been
awaiting for for sometime has re-
Gently been decided in a decision
handed down by Judge W. S. McClen-
ahan of Brainerd.
The decision is to the effect that
the city of Bralnerd will be COM
PEELED to pay to Crow Wing county
money sued for under the law that
ten per cent of all the liquor license
money shall be paid to the county
for the purpose of building roads. The
suit involved amounted to about ST.
200.
This same matter was up before
this county some time ago. County
Auditor James L. George, on Janu-
airy first sent out blank reports to all
the city and village clerks for the
p0IpoSc VI dSScI Idlu1uS Iue uuAb6I
of licenses issued in the county. Four
of these lists or reports have been
received thus far. Yesterday Mr..
George sent cut a second report
blank, having held back awaiting
the outcome of the Brainerd trial,
and it is expected that these will be
properly filled out and promptly re-
turned. ---...-
Mr. George said today that if these
reports are not attended to promptly,
the county attorney would have to
take up the matter. The cities and
villages who have issued licenses for
the sale of intoxicating liquors since
January, 1910, will be asked by the
county to remit the ten per cent due
them according to law.
Should this law be enforced accord
ing to the recent decision at Brain
erd, the county would become about
$4,000 better off upon the payment
of the ten per cent by all the liquor
licenses issued. III

HARMON SPEAKS AT BOSTON
May Be Democratic Eastern Opening
Boom for President.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 9.-The ap-
pearance of Governor Harmon of Ohio
here tomorrow as the guest of honor
and chief speaker at barbue out
ing to be given by the Democratic
organization of Boston has aroused
considerable interest in political cir
cles in New England
1t will be the first speech that the
Ohio governor has delivered in the
East since he doomed up prominently
as presidential candidate. The fact
that the names Of two New England
ers-Governor Baldwin of Connecti-
cut and Governor Foss of Massachu-
setts-are mentioned in connection
with the Democratic nomination for
vice president, lends additional in
terest to the Harmon visit. The poll
ticians take the view that if either
Baldwin or Foss is to be supported
by New England for second place on
the Democratic ticket, as is intimat-
ed, a Western candidate for first
place might naturally be expected to
enjoy an advantage in this section
over Governor Wilson of New Jersey,
the nomination of whom for president
would probably be followed by the
selection of a. Western man for vice
president.

SELECT YOUR SEED EARLY
Supt. Wilson Of the Agricultural
Farm Advises Farmers to be
Careful. .-
SELECT RIGHT KIND OF SEEDS

A. D. Wilson. superintendent of the
extension division of the Agricultural
Farm at st. Paul has issued spec
ial addition of the Farm News, and
ial feature of seed corn selection.
1t is the aim of this publication to
place before the farmers of this state
such news from time to time that will
make them better farmers and help
them to raise the right kinds of
grain, etc. This edition encourages
The farmers to make their selections
of seed early and carefully. It may
mean the difference between good
and poor crop next year
Increasing the Yield of Corn.
There are three important factors
which aid in increasing corn yields.
First, the soil must be in the proper
condition, productive, well fined and
well drained Second, cornfeld
.nust receive proper tillage. Third,
the selection and storing OF seed corn.
This last factor is especially i'm
portant in Minnesota, where climatic
conditions are such that iate-matur-
ing varieties cannot be successfully
grown. One example will suffice.
At Aitkin, in northeast Minnesota,
q yield of $50 bushels per acre was
secured, in 1903, by the proper selec-
ton of variety OF corn particularly
adapted to the locality. Many farmers
throughout the state are now grow
ing corn equaling in yield that grown
in the corn belt states. They are able
to do this simply by selecting corn
adapted to the conditions of their soil
and climate.

WHERE TO STORE SEED CORN
Best Place is Attic Where it is Dry
and Has Plenty Air.

After time has been spent selecting
seed corn, it would be folly to store
It in a place where it would not keep.
Freshly-gathered seed corn should
not be left in piles in a warm room,
or on the floor. 1t will either sprout.
mold or do both. Always store seed
corn where there is good circulation
of air, so it will dry out quickly. New
er leave it in boxes, in piles, On the
porch or in the barn. It should be
taken care of at once.
There are only three necessary con-
ditions for storing seed corn; and, if
these are followed, one may be rea-
sonably sure that ninety-five per cent
or more of his corn will terminate,
provided it was properly matured.
First, there must be good circula-
lion of air about each ear, to carry
away the surplus moisture. Second,
temperature must be maintained
above freezing until the seed is thor
oughly dry. Third, seed corn must
be selected early enough, SO that it
may have plenty Of time to dry before
cold weather.
Where to Store.
Numerous tests of seed corn have
been made. Of all the thousands of
samples tested, those that were taken
from a house attic, where there was
a good circulation of air, gave the
highest percentage of termination.
second in per cent of termination
was seed corn stored in a cellar in
which there was heating plant.
Cellars without furnaces are usual
" damp and undesirable for storing.
Samples of seed corn stored in Oat-
bins, on porchcs, under the caves of
barns, and in open sheds, have also
been tested; and they usually gave
tests too low for the seed to be OF
yaIue for planning. 1t is easily seen
that seed corn kept in an attic or an
unused second story room can have
the required conditions for drying;
namely, good circulation of air and
an even temperature, above the freez-
ing point.
