Mr.. Bryan Will Not Run.
he Mexican Herald saws:

The Mexican Herald says:
Both Roosevelt and Bryan are
considered to have contributed to the
restoration of business confidence by
declaring that they will not run for
the presidency next year"
Our contemporary is slightly mac
curate Mr.. Bryan has not declared
that he would not run for the presi
dency. In the sixteen years that
have elapsed since Mr.. Bryan ac-
quired the candidate habit he has
never declared that he would not run
for the presidency. There has never
been an instant when he was not an
active or receptive candidate.
Hitherto he has kept those who were
fearful of the effect of his candidacy
on the rack until the last moment.
when he brought about a realization
OF their fears by running
But, though he has not declared
at this time that he would not be a
candidate, such a declaration is un-
necessary. We may declare with as
much force and effect as Mr.. Bryan
himself might that he will not run
for the presidency next year.
We cannot say 10 what extent. II
any. the pronouncement of Mr.. Roose-
Welt has contributed to the restoration
of confidence and the improvement of
business, but the situation could not
be altered by any sort of a declara-
ton from Lincoln.

presidency as certainly as he wouldn't

New York. June 29-On a small
volume of trading the stock market
swung back toward a higher range to-
day. following yesterdays effective
bear raids. The lowered scale of prices
established yesterday attracted suffi-
cient amount of buying to lift quota
lions easily at the outset. Stocks OF
the coalers, the Hartman roads were
the strongest, with gains Of a point or
more The bull party made no attempt
to extend the movement and the market
became lifeless. The end found prices
generally higher, although the advances

some of the members of the COM

The girls / used to like;
They didn't run a motor car.
They didn't ride bike.
They didn't play the game of bridge
Or rush to bargain sales.
They didn't go to problem plays
Or read erotic tales.
l remember, I remember
The girls 1 used to WOO;
They didn't wear their shirtwaists
So very peekaboo.
They didn't bleach their pretty hair
Or wear those hats like tubs.
They didn't have a night key
Or go to women's clubs.

The girls that | have kissed;
Not one a Christian Scientist,
Not one a suffragist
They didn't run a chatting dish
Nor smoke cigarette;
They lived a quiet, simple life
Those girls are living yet!
! remember, l remember
The girls l used to see;
wouldn't want to see them now,
So out of date they'd be.
I'd be an old back-number dub
To like them nowadays;
/ much prefer the modern girl.

sest-in states such Illinois, Indiana Iowa
Ind Nebraska. But the government experts
scouting around came to the conclusion
that as good or better corn than America had
ever known could be raised in prolific quantity
in the south If only the people south of Mason
and Dixon's line could be aroused to the pos
sibilities lying dormant at their doors
Waking up these southern farmers to their
neglected opportunities is the present work of
one of the most efficient organizations in Uncle
Sans agricultural corps. 1t was nothing short
Of an inspiration that the experts hit upon the
plan of proving that their corn fairy tales"
could come true through the medium of the
farmer boys of the south. The lads were enlisted
in this country wide demonstration work" and
$4,000 of them have lately been giving their ia
theirs object lessons right at home. What is more,
many of the fathers have taken the lessons to
heart and after seeing with their own eyes what
phenomenal yields can be made If corn be cul-
tvated the book chaps" at the agricultural
department prescribe they have become converts
to the new ideas and have announced that hence
forth they will cultivate corn the way their sons
have been doing these past few months 1t will
mean only 8 fraction more time and work and it
means production doubled or trebled quad
rupled.
Of course the government gave Instructions
to these lads to how to till the soil in the most
advantageous manner, but the enthusiasm which
resulted IN corn narVeStS JnaC nave maue the
whole world sit up and take notice inspired
by competitive contests for the winners in which
all sorts of prizes were ofered-township prizes,
village prizes, county prizes, state prizes, and
goodness knows what, all in the way of trophies
eliminating in each state in grand prize" In
the form Of a sightseeing trip to Washington, all
expenses paid. for one boy. or course, the gov
eminent did not offer these prizes. Uncle Sam
has no money available for such purposes, but
the department Of agriculture engineered the
whole scheme and got the public-spirited citizens
OF more than a dozen states so Interested that
they put up the prizes mentioned. Individuals
such as bankers and merchants and organiza'
lions such as boards of trade, county superin-
tendents of education, chambers of commerce,
ETC. contributed to the list of prizes which in the
grand total footed up to more than $4,000
This whole movement, alike to other similar
educational crusades, has been under the direc-
ton of the division of farmers cooperative dem
onstration work of the department Of agriculture
and the field officers of this institution have
brought about systematic effort on the part Of
the youthful growers by organizing what

to see prizes awarded to lads who are poinr ng

ton in the south, and incidentally to a partial
solution of the increased cost of living. And no
old-time' farmer can sneer that the showings
made In this notwithstanding 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 producs
ton can be accepted as fair actual costs.
The yields made during the past season by
these young corn growers have been truly aston
ishng and some of them are almost past the
belief of farmers who have been getting an aver

in choice corn country in the middle west In
one Mississippi county As boys averaged 90
bushels per acre. In one South Carolina county

boys averaged 62 bushels per acre. One lad
made $1,000 from a 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 Louis
ana carried off the highest honors for economical
farming, producing on his acre 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 bnt
he produced 102 bushels to the acre at a cost Of
20 cents per bushe Next season the scope
of the corn-growing competition is to be greatly

LETTERS OF DICKENS
LAST ONE HE WEoTE WAS
SHAkY AND SIGNED &c. D."
Signatures of the Famou7 Novelist or
Business Epistles Almost lnvari-
ably Were Accompanied by
Flourish That Showed EGO.

The last paragraph of the last let
Ter written by Charles Dickens reads:
But hope l may be ready at three
o'clock. If l can't be. why, then ]
shan't be. Ever afSecti nately,
&c. D."
This was written an hour or so be-
fore the fatal seizure. Every word
droops below the level from which
each starts, each line of writing de-
sends across the page, the simple
G. d. is very shaky, and the whole
letter is broken and weak. Charles
Dickens was not ready" at three
oclock"-he died at ten minutes past
six p. m.
This last signature of the novelist
is one of fifty-five reproduced in the
Strand in an article by John Holt
Schooling. Among them is a very
famous signature, the original of
which is on a great parchment called
Deed of License Assignment and
Covenants Respecting a Work Called
The Pickwick Papers," and which,
after preamble, contains the words:
Whereas the said Charles Dickens
is the author of a book or work en-
titled The Posthumous Papers of the
Pickwick Club which has been re-
Gently printed and published in twen-
ty parts or numbers" etc.
1t is probable that the fact of the
seal being placed between Charles"
and Dickens" prevented the flourish
which almost invariably accompanied
his signature on business documents;
the marked enlargement of this sigma
ture takes the place of the flourish
and shows an unconscious emphasis
of the ego. 1t would be almost unrea-
sonable for us to expec@ that so i'm
questionable man, who was also
feeling his power and fame, could
abstain from showing outward signs
of his own consciousness of abnormal
success. Yet in the private letters of
Dickens the simple &c. D." IS very fire.
auent
1t may at once be said that this
point of difference is alike interest
ing to the student ny gesture and to
the student of Dickens character. He
was certainly a very able man of
business, and the wording of his
business letters fully bears out the
idea conveyed by his business sigma
ture-so to speak-that lckens was
fully aware of his own powers, and
that, quite fairly, he did not omit to
impress the fact upon other people
when he thought fit. Both the word
ing and the signature of many of his
private letters are simple and unos-
tentatious to a high degree. This
curious fact ought to be remembered
when people talk about Dickens con
ceit" and love of show"

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
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 start with SOUP at thu
church, you know, then go to some house for the
meat course and finish up at rome 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 rs 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

The late Frances E. Willard said:
There are so many kinds of beauty
after which one may strive that we
are bewildered by the bare attempt
to remember them. There is beauty
of manner, of achievement, of rep.

these outweighs beauty of person,
even in the scales of society, to say
nothing of celestial values.
Cultivate most of the kind that
lasts the longest, The beautiful face

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 activity-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 1t 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

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
