 At 1:30 D. m. the contests will be- gin and continue until o'clock when the baseball game between the Schlitz and the Claud Cleggs will begin in the ball park. Both teams are fast and the spectators will no doubt see a classy article of ball.

Some time ago, the Pioneer printed

Some time ago, the Pioneer printed
a method by which corn seed could
be tested before planting. BY plac-
ing the seed between two damp
cloths, placing a cover over them,
and setting in a warm place the good
seed will begin to sprout in a few
days. This method can also be used
in other seeds than corn so that there
is no good reason why farmer can
not be sure that his seed will come
up and bring him full crop. The
time to test the seed is before it is
put in the ground and not to wait for
nature.

ATTORNEYS AS CRIME LEADERS
Los Angeles Tribune.


Perhaps the most dlscouragir,.
thing shown in the federal 81 I
against the beef barons is not the
revolution of their law breaking. but
az tie lawyers part in It, Uniten
States District Attorney Wilkerson
showed In his opening address that
persistent. fragrant and defiant vio-
lations OF the law" were engineered
from the offices of the beef trust at
torneys.
With the cold blood of pirates they
led the packers, fortifying their steps
with the legal chicane they sold In
exchange for share of the plumber.
Small wonder that in this precious
bunch the members would not trust
each other; that there was no honor
among thieves. It is shown that a
corps of spies were required to watch
the magnates. and another corps OF
spies to watch the first spies.
Such lawyers are types of members
OF the legal profession that are com
mon, to everybody's knowledge. The
highest retainers are paid today to
those learned gentlem en who can tell
their clients how TO break the laws

~ FOUND DEAD IN BED
M.thenatic Wonder Victim Of Ap-
opIcxy; Some OF His Feats ard
Figures.

Springfield, Mass, Dec. %. - Ar
thur r. Griffith of Milford, Ind, a
lightning calculator who has bewild-
cred vaudeville attendants through
ont the country for number of
years by his mathematical wizardry,
VAS found dead Of apoplexy in his
he'd at a local hotel today.
Griffith was known professionally
as the Marvellous Griffith He was
Al years old. Within recent years his
peculiar powers have been given
many tests by professors Of mathe-
matics and psychology at Harvard,
Yale, Chicago, Indiana and northwest
ern universities.
indianapolis, Dec. 25.-Arthur +,
Griffith was considered one of those
mathematical wizards born with an
inherent attraction for figures. With
out pencil on paper he could raise a
figure to the sixth power in about
eleven seconds.
AS proof of his lightning calcula.
ton system, on wager he once did
the work of fourteen clerks in the
state auditors office at Springfield
Ill.,, for three hours. On three occas
ions, twice in Indianapolis and once
in Bloomington, ILL.,, he won races with
adding machines.
In test before professors at Har
yard, he answered every question
propounded, the tabled fourth dimen
sion" alone being barred.
Problems that would require hours
OF figuring by most persons were sol
we'd in few moments by Griffith. The
answer to problem like this would
be at his tongues end:
What is the compound interest OF
/ cent at 6 per cent from the birth Of
CHRIST to the present date, and how
far would that many silver dollars
reach in the air and II placed flat ant
against each other on every square
foot of clear and lever floor 25,00(
miles in circumference"
Problems such as this were regard
sd as light mental exercises by Mr.
