in competition with $4,000 other
boys at the recent Corn Exhlbl
ton held at Columbus, Ohio. wor
the first prize for the best yield
report of profits, quality OF corr
and essay on corn growing. Young
Henry cultivated nine acres and
gathered 1873 bushels on less than
one acre at cost Of - IL cents d
bushel.
This is only a part of a fine rec
ord, however, which this boy far
mer has made, for it appears that
last year he won first prize at the
Natchitoches Parish Fair. a gold
watch offered by Governor San
ders. and several premiums at the
louisiana State Fair at Shreve-
port. In addition to these
triumphs he won a trip to the Ma
tional Capital and greatly pleased
the House Committee on Agricul-
ture with an address on scientific
methods Of corn growing

at the Columbus Corn Exposition
was, a $500 automobile. This
bright and clever youth, who prom
ses to be a most successful far
mer. is now attending school at
Port Gibson, Miss. on money he
made by growing corn, and is pre-
pairing to take course at the Lou

What Alexander Hamilton
Believed.

am one of those who look upon
Alexander Hamilton, all things

the science of governmnt
There was in all that he did THAI
fascinating air of mysterious pow,
er, that indescribable force which
moved with triumphant ease to It's
unreasonable purpose. His career
was the most sudden. the most
startling. the most brilliant, and
the most mastery Of all Of his
his compatriots. And he was nev-
err greater, never more OF states
man and a patriot, than when ht
advocated the policy as part OF
his general-revenue policy Of lay
ing a portion of the burdens OF
government upon property ano
upon wealth. along with consump
ton. He was charged in his day
with being the special advocate Of
property and Of property inter
ests and Of wealth. the mlnion Of
power, the advocate OF royalty
He was in favor IT a government
