"Casey JONES'" of Kentucky.

Recently a good deal has been
heard about casey Jones'" It has
remained for writer in The Nash
vile Tenneseean to discover that
Casey JONES'" whose tragic end has
been immortalized in song, and whom
more persons have regarded as a
mythical parsonage, was in reality
John Luther Jones, native of Cayce,
Kentucky, who lost his life in a rail-
road wreck at Vaughans, Miss,
March 1S, 1900.
In the beginning of his railroad ca
reer, which begun at the age OF ~,
according to the story, he acquired
the name of "Cayce" Jones by reason
of the place of his birth, which is a
small station on the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad in Fulton county. 1t seems
very natural for "Cayce" Jones to
have been transformed into Casey"
as the pronunciation is the same.
Jones was first a fireman on the Mo-
bile & Ohio and later went to the IL
linois Central. In 1890 he became
an engineer and continued in that
position until he met his death in a
collision between his fast passenger
engine and a freight train. The
song is said to have been made up
originally by an old negro round
house helper, and with varying words
has been sung by the railroad ne
groes in West Kentucky and West
Tennessee for many years. 1t is only
in recent years that it has become
world wide favorite.
AS Casey Jones" seems destined
to immortality it is well enough to
know something about the person.
ality of the much-sung engineer who
failed to realize his ambition to run
trains ION the Southern Pacific and
the Santa Fe lines" The story as
published in the Tennessean at least
sounds plausible, and in the absence
of any information to the contrary,
casey Jones" will be placed on the
list of Kentucky's heroes of song and
story.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

What America Most Needs.

The editor of the Wall Street Jour-
nal, a strictly secular paper, writes:
-'What America needs more than rail-
way extension and Western irrigation
and low tariff and bigger wheat
crop and a merchant marine and a
new navy is a revival of piety, the
kind mother and father used to have
-piety that counted it good business
to stop for daily prayer before break
fast right in the middle of harvest;
that quit field work half hour early
Thursday night, so as to get the
chores done and go to prayer meet
ing; that borrowed money to pay the
preachers salary and prayed fervent-
ly in secret for the salvation of the
rich man who looked with scorn on
such unbusiness-like behavior-that's
what we need now to clean this coun-
try of the filth of graft and of greed,
petty and big, of worship of line
uOuS0S duu us Aodoo1 e1Ao hASAA oAoN
land grand social functions What
is this thing we are worshipping but
"a vain repetition of what decayed ma
tions fell down and worshipped just
before their light went out? Read
the history of Rome in decay, and
you will find luxury there that could
lay a big dollar over our little dough-
nut that looks so large to us. Great
wealth never made a nation substan-
tial nor honorable. There is nothing
on earth that looks good that is so
dangerous for a man or nation to
handle as quick, easy big money. If
you resist it's daily influence, the
chances are that it will get your son.
It takes greater and finer heroism to
dare to be poor in America than to
charge an earthworks in Manchuria. -

Up to Requirements.

A Devonshire lady once sent to her
son pair of trousers by book post,
which is, of course, cheaper than par
eel post. The postal officials wrote
to her: CLOTHES cannot be sent by
book post. If you will refer to the
postofice guide you will see under
what conditions articles may be sent
by book post" After a few days, the
lady replied: 81 have looked in the
postoffice guide and find that ar
ticles which are open at both ends
may be sent by book post. And II
trousers are not open at both ends, l
should like to know what is.'

RACE ISSUE AT CORNELL.
Protests of the Co-Eds Against Two
Colored Girl Students.

A special from Ithaca, N. Y, says:
Disclaiming any intention of try
ing to obtain social equality with the
white women students and denying
that they are in any scheme to force
the race question to an issue at Cor
nell, Rosa Vassar and Pauline A.
Ray, the two young colored women
whose efforts to get rooms in Sage
college have caused a great ado
among the other co-eds, have issued
statement explaining their posi-
ton.
Rosa Vassar, whose home is in
Lynchburg, Va, is a junior in the
college of arts and sciences. Pauline
Ray, who comes from Geneva, is
sophomore in the same college. Both
are good students.
In their statement they deny that
they have consulted with any other
negro students or taken any advice
as to their course of action. They
say they are not trying to force the
race question to an issue. They say
the first application to have rooms
assigned to them in Sage college was
made over year ago. At that time
Mrs. Gertrude A. Martin, the adviser
of women of the university and t3e
general supervisor of the co-eds, told
them that she had taken the matter
up with Emmons Williams, the
treasurer of the university, and they
had decided that it would not be- ex-
pedient to have the girls room in
Sage college, which is the only Wo-
mans dormitory.
The girls put in another appllca-
ton some time ago. They were
moved to do so because they wanted
to live nearer and in more conve-
nient place. The rooms they are
occupying now are about a mile and
a half from the university. 1t is un-
derstood that if they could not get
rooms in Sage they would not be
able to get near the campus, as it
would be hard to find accommoda-
tions in the nearby rooming-
houses.
1--WE are not seeking social eQuali-
ty," they said. 1--WE would live in
Sage college, as far as convenience
and comfort go, we would be as one
with the rest of the girls, but in all
things social we would be as separate
as two fingers on one hand.
eve leave it to the trustees and
believe they will give us justice, but
we know that Henry w. Sage would
give rs justice were he alive"
Henry w. Sage gave Sage college
to the university. The trustees will
meet here within a week or so and
they will have to decide the ques-
ton, as a petition protesting against
allowing the two girls to room in
Sage college has been filed with
them. The petition has been sign
ed by over 200 co-eds, majority of
the number in the university.

There is no remedy that will
more quickly relieve any form

SECOND SERIES OF
DEBATES ARRANGED
DEVILS LAKE AND HATTON HIGH
SCHOOL MATCHED IN SEC
OND CONTEST.

The second series of debates in the
contest for the Herald cup, which
will be participated in by the visitors
in the first contest has been arranged
and the schools that will participate
are as follows
Leeds VS.. Rugby.
Minot VS. Kenmare
Valley City VS. Cakes.
Devils Lake VS.. Hatton.
Hillsboro vs., St. Thomas.
The exact date for the second series
of debates has not been fixed. Orig
inally it was planned to hold them on
Jan. 10, but as the final will not be
held until May II, and only two more
series will be necessary to determine
the final contestants, the date may be
set later if the schools should so de-
sire.
The second round will doubtless
prove e> en- more interesting than the
first as many of the schools have Sc
the others have had add time in
which to prepare on the question.
Both Devils Lake and hatton have
won their right to appear by defeat
ing their opponents in the first round
Devils Lake won the decision over
Michigan and Hatton defeat d Buff
falo.
The question to be debated in the
secon1 round is the same as that dis
cussed in the preliminary debates,
Resolved, that North Dakota should
adopt a plan of workingmen's insur-
ance based on the Wisconsin model"
That the question is an eminently
fair one is shown by the fact that both
sides have been awarded tho decisions
of the judges.

SEED CORN

Where are you going to get your
seed corn for the 1912 planting? This
lis question that confronts many
North Dakota corn growers, who grew
a good crop of corn in 1911, and sew
eral hundred prospective corn growers
who have as yet grown no corn in
North Dakota.
There is practically no good seed
corn produced in North Dakota the
past season to be had at any price
because the fall weather was quite
wet and growers failed to pick their
seed corn as they should have done
before the zero weather of November
first. This exceptionally low tempera-
ture when the corn was wet, though
fully mature, has in very many cases
completely killed the seed. In other
cases fifty per cent is still good seed
and in exceptional cases seventy-five
per cent of the ears will grow fairly
WELL
If you have corn that belongs to
either of the latter classes save as
much of it for seed as you can. Dry
it in the attic or in spare room at
a temperature of about so degrees.
Make germinator by filling a square
box an inca and half deep with an
inch of sand. Rule a white paper
cover in squares an inch and a half
to side, give each square number
corr esponding to the number of an ear
of coin to be tested. Take six kernels
one ffom the tip, butt, and center and
from different sides of each ear place
over a square, moisten and cover with
sheet of wet paper and and keep
moist and in a warm place. Select only
the ears for your own seed in which
the entire six kernels gerimate strong
and quickly. This will require little
work but it may save you the cost of
buying southern seed, which probably
would not mature corn next year as
if you plant your own seed it will give
you a perfect stand. This one acre
OF tested seed might yield you more
net profit than ten acres untested
seed. Test each individual cal. of seed
corn now. Know definitely whether
your corn is fit for seed or not. r. -
