MARSHALL
BOOM NOW
LAUNCHED
TIMES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL

Indianapolis, Ind. April 26.-Gover-
nor Marsha1fs Presidential boom has al
ready reached the fickering stage, ac-
cording to indications that have de-
veloped here In the last day or two, and
1t is a question whether it can with
stand the blight that is being spread
on it by a crowd of Indiana Democrats
that wants to nominate Senator John
w Kern for President. There was a
meeting here night before last, attended
by about forty well known indianapolis
Democrats. for the purpose of starting
the Kern boom with a big -ssh They
met at the Denison hotel and formed a
temporary organization and elected off,
GERS to look after the spread of the
boom. NJ NJ. Mahoney was elected
president; John S. Maholm and william
Anderson vice presidents. and c. II.
Cameron secretary.
These men say that they win hold
another meeting in the next few days
and that Democrats will attend from
all over the state The time for the
meeting has not been set.
The organization was named the
Kern Presidential Club Mr.. Cameron
says that it does not oppose anv good
Democrat for the Presidential nomina-
tion, but that 1t is for Kern ahead OF
all others. The club gave out an
authorized statement in which the pur-
pose and views of the club are set forth.
Tt is as follows:
That Governor Marshall will not
control or have a delegation friendly to
his nomination for President to the
next Democratic national convention Is
now certain, and that his friends viii
have to fight for every delegate they
obtain from now on Is emphasized by

FOR LEAGUE
PREPARED

Gary will have a team in the North
ern Indiana Baseball Association after
all It will be a travelling team. =
Buck" velner of Chicago last night
put up a certified check for the amount
of the forfeit and expense money, and
the Gary team became thereby regular
ly installed. Velner and his team are
a new aggregation. having no connec-
tion whatever with the old team under
III. Erickson which had been dickering
for admittance into the league since the
latter was first organized. but which
never did anything definite to insure its
place in the association.
1t is expected and hoped however
that the new team and the Erickson
interests will get together. There was
a conference between Mullen, repre-
senting the Erickson crowd. and Veil
ner, in an ante-room adjoining President
McAleer's Office. during meeting of
the league directorate, but Mr. Mullen
was not authorized to come to any
definite arrangements and if there IS
any pooling of their issues. it will be
arranged for in the near future.
The league accepted velner's team
tentatively at the last directors meet
ing when velner deposited $40 as an
evidence Of good faith. Veiner showed
substantial backing inasmuch as the
Erickson outfit had not complied in any
particulars with the bylaws, either by
putting up their forfeit and expense
money amounting to $115, or by attend
ance at any but one or two of the ear
liest of the meetings. was velner's ap-
plication was accepted. The Erickson
people made application later. but terms
had already been practically made with
the Velner people so there was nothing
to do but turn Erickson down.
The meeting last night was called to
order by Joseph J. Freeman of East

to see prizes awarded to lads who are pointing
the way to increased averages of corn produc-
tton in the south, and incidentally to partial
solution Of the increased cost Of living. And no
old-time farmer that the showings
made in this twentieth-oentury corn growing are
spurts Of no practical significance. On the con-
trary the government officials have applied mod
ern bookkeeping methods to the business side OF
the proposition and the reported costs OF produc-
ton can be accepted as fair actual costs
The yields made during the past season by
these young corn growers have been truly aston
ishing and some of them are almost past the
belief of farmers who have been getting aver
age of, say, 80 to 40 bushels Of per acre
in choice corn country in the middle west. In
one Mississippi county 4s boys averaged go
bushels per acre. In one South Carolina county
acres. In another county in that state 142
boys averaged 81 bushels per acre. One lad
made $1,000 from single acre Of corn. Jerry
Moore of Winona, S. c. the champion corn
grower of the world, got the amazing yield OF
22S bushels to the acre. Steve Henry of Lousi-
ana carried off the highest honors for economical
farming producing on his nearly 140 bushels
at cost of only 13 cents per bushel. Joe Stone
of Georgia, youngest and smallest of the national
prize winners, is only eleven years Of age, but
he produced 102 bushels to the acre at cost of
29 cents per bushel Next season the scope
of the corngrowing competition is to be greatly
extended and the government may also strive
to get the country girls of the United States
into similar competition, only, of course it will
not be corn growing but vegetable gardening with
canning and preserving side line"

Those Church Suppers!

Church sales, dinners teas and the like are
not only means for promoting social enjoyment
and incidentally of replenishing the treasures
of the organizations which provide them. These
functions serve a real and valuable economic
purpose, as is indicated by the lady whom Edna
X. Wooley quotes in the Toledo Blade. This
lady weary of the work of providing three meals
a day for her family, consisting of herself, her
husband and her daughter, finds a new Joy in
living at this time of year, and explains why:
Last night we went to roast beef dinner. To
night we are going to Methodist progressive
supper My husband hates those progressive
suppers, because we start with soup at the
church, you know, then go to some house for the
meat course and finish up at some other house
for the dessert He says when he sits down to a
meal he likes to finish the job on the spot in
stead of getting up every little while putting on
his hat and coat and galloping out into the cold
and cruel world to resume his eats at some other
stand. But think It's fun. It's blessed change
Tomorrow night we go to a Presbyterian church
supper. That's only 20 cents, too and | don't
see how they do 1t for the money. The next one
after that is an Episcopal turkey supper, and the
next is also a turkey supper at the Unitarian
church. Then come the Disciple and Congrega.
tion church suppers, and by that time you'll see
my cheeks sticking out with rich living What
would we poor home cooks do If 1t wasn't for the
church suppers? They give us a rest from the
eternal routine of planning and cooking the daily
meals. Nobody that hasn't tried that three-meal-
a-day business knows what grind 1t gets to be
/ don't believe there's man ON earth would
stand for 1t.

the corn belt" for there is no de-
sire to interfere with the growing Of
our greatest agricultural staple In
that broad section of the country
where corn has long been the princi-
pal standby of the farmer. The new
plan of the department of agricul-
ture-for of course that is the branch
of our government machinery that has
charge of this new actiyity-is simply
in effect to make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before.
Although all the world has been
gasping in establishment these many
years past at the bumper crops Of
corn this country turns out each year,
the experts of the government some
time since came to the conclusion
that great as was the national corn
yield 1t was not as big as it ought to
be. Furthermore, they thought they
foresaw time when, with our rapidly
growing population, the corn crop
would not be any too big for our own
American appetite and, of course, II
that came to pass, we would lose more
or less of our foreign trade, for vast
quantity of Yankee corn products now
find their way to dinner tables over
seas.
On the theory of a stitch in time
the agricultural sharps proceeded to
get busy over this impending prob
lem. First they set about increasing
the yield of corn per acre and latterly
they have entered upon the even more
significant mission of extending the
corn growing area. AS our readers
are aware most of the corn crop has
been grown heretofore in the middle
