SPANISH PREMIER MURDERED
By Manuel PardenaS, Anarchist,
Who Attempts Suicide

Madrid, Spain, November 12:-
Jose Canalejas y Mendes, the prime
minister, whom Spain hasregarded
as one of her greatest statesmen,
was shot and killed today by young
anarchist named Manuel Pardenas.
The assassin attempted suicide and
it was first thought that he was dead,
but when he had been carried to the
hospital he was found to be living.
No event since the throwing Of
the bomb at the carriage Of King Al
fonso, on May 81, 1906, while the
King was returning from the church
after his marriage, has caused such
general CONSERVATION and such pub
lie sympathy.
So far as can be learned at pres
ent, the assassination seems to be in
no way part Of widespread politi-
cal plot or revolutionary movement,
but an isolated crime for which the
exact motives remain obscure. The
assassin, who was Of Spanish birth,
came recently from Buenos Ayres,
by way Of Paris. Practically moth
ing is known about him.

who made over 207 bushels on one
acre, has complied in every respect
with the requirements for evidence,
and we have as much reason to be-
lieve that he made this corn as that
any other boy or man has made
the very large yields claimed in re-
cent years. The evidence is O K.

WINNERS IN The
Boys CORN CONTEST
PRIZES AWARDED TO SUCCESS
Full COMPETITORS---E. M. JOYE
AND s. G. MOORE THE LEADERS.

The following is an account of
the boys corn contest and show
which took place in Kingstree last
Saturday. Of SO boys, only "a re-
ported the result of the years effort.
At the meeting of the boys last fall,
and at their meeting last spring, and
also through the columns of The
Record, it was made clear that the
size of the yield would not be the
only item considered in awarding
prizes. The plan adopted by the
u 1onstration bureau of the De-
PAL 9ment of Agriculture was fol-
lowed by the committee. This plan
allowed: For yield. .9O%; profit on in
vestment, 30S; history of the crop,
2O9Ssxhibit, 2O96. 1t will be easy
to see, therefore, that the boy who
makes the largest yield does not
nee -sarily get first place in the
general result. The list of the boys
follows, with their yield, general
percentage and grading in the corn
show:

"The Rosary

Whatever else may be said OF
Rowland and Cliffords new produce
ton The Rosary" which comes to
Van Werden's opera house Sept. -,
the charge of imitation of other
plays cannot be made.
"The Rosary practically breaks
new ground in the dramatic field and
should prove veritable surprise
when the curtain rises upon it.
The play is built upon thorough
ly modern theme, viz:-the inf1u-
ence of thought upon the lives and
our present day.
That thought intangible and
evanescent as it is, is still force,
a power, a theory that has for some
time past engaged the attention of
our foremost psychologists, but it's
portrayal upon the stage has been
neglected heretofore.
THE Rosary attacks the theme
boldly, it deal with the lives and
fortunes of little group OF people
living in the beautiful West Chester
country near New York City.
The husband is a dsbeliever in all
religion, his wife woman Of seri-
Gus convictions regarding faith in
the things Of life unseen.
Strong in his unbelief and thor
oughly human, priest moves
through the subtle story of the play,
when doubts come and the man and
Wotnan;s lives are shattered, SEEM
ingly beyond human power to repair,
this priest analyses the situation
and by the power of his faith brings
both the people whom he loves back
to happiness. 5.
Mingled with the darker colors of
human tragedy is vein of natural
comedy evolved from the events
which occur during the action. 81.

HOW TO EXPLAIN DREAMS.
Your Last Waking Thoughts The
Kew. Saws Writer in Century"

The dream as it unrolls itself be-
fore the sleeper's consciousness Is
an allegorical or symbolical express
sion of the ideas which belong to
his thought world, writes the Rev.
Samuel McComb, D. D., in the Sep
TENDER Century" Why should
dreams take on an allegorlcal dress!
Why are they not, as a rule, lit
eral transference of events and ex-
periences from a waking state to
a sleeping state? The answer is be-
cause the normal waking conscious
ness which acts as kind OF a
check upon painful or disagreeable
thoughts and feelings, relaxes It's
activities during sleep, and allows
these thoughts and feelings to pass
into consciousness, only, however,
when their motives have been dis
guised under hidden mass OF SYM
bolism. If it were not so, IT dreams
literally reflected the conflicts and
warnings of the workaday world,
they would set up such emotional
excitement as would arouse the
waking consciousness and so make
an end of sleep. Hence the valu-
able reflection is forced upon us
that dreams fulfil the important
function of preserving sleep. They
arc thus seen to bear vitality upon
our health and happiness.
Another interesting question
which modern Investigation has
been able to answer is, Out of what
materials are dreams constructed:
Nothing can come :nto our dreams
that has not entered into cur past
experiences. The lhOushrs of the
mental state immediately proceed
ing sleep are hard to recover after
ward, but when they are recovered
they are found to persist in OR
dreams. But we may go further
credible in the superstition that.
written, as it were, with invisible
ink on our nervous systems are
characters inherited from our most
distant ancestors.

They Liked The Leon Band.

Decatur county certainly has a
band to be proud of. The Leon K.
P. band under the leadership of
Prof. T. Johannes is without excep-
ton the best band that has ever
furnished the music for the Grand
River Reunion. Our people and the
many visitors have nothing but
praise for the excellent music, the
appearance, the behavior, on and off
duty and the courtesy of every men,
Der of this very popular organiza-
ton. Leon is fortunate in having so
many talented musicians. The day
has come when the majority of the
people want real music.
The time when an aggregation of
noise makers was all that was need
ed to make everybody happy has
passed away and nothing but good
music is appreciated and wanted.
Such band music can be had only in
the large cities played by the best
professional bands. This band is
well sought after and has several
engagements ahead, one of the en-
gagements was secured here by q
committee from Murray. lowe. who
were 20 pleased with the quality 81
the music that at once they made

Philip Edmond Kelso.

Philip Edmond Kelso was born in
Illinois August 9Th, 1865, died at
Grand River, Iowa, August 10th.
1912, aged AZ years and II days.
He came from Illinois to Iowa with
his parents at the age of five years.
He was the youngest OF family of
five children, three boys and two
girls. But they all have preceded
him to the other world. None of
them ever married so no heirs are
left.
This man showed his appreciation
for those who cared for him by
leaving them his property. This is
the mark of man among men.
He was very sedate or quiet in
manner. A man like that never
troubles a community.
Those who knew him best remark
that the community had no more
honorable citizen, that his word
was as good as bond. This marks
him again in our Judgment as man
of noble principles.
Winding ones own business, and
caring a high sense of honor for his
word, are traits of character that
the man Jesus Christ exalted when
on earth among men.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church, Sunday, August
18th, at 1880, conducted by Rev.
Hawk. The remains inferred at the
Young cemetery. ,.ss.>

Iowa Valuation.

Figures compiled by Ralph Bolton
of the greater Des Moines committee
show that Iowa land in the past ten
years has increased an average OF
$53.34 per acre. This is tremend-
Gus increase. Yet no one who mas
watched the steady rise in Iowa land
values will dispute the figures. For
instance Grundy county farmer
has just refused 1925 an acre for a
farm which he paid 500 per acre
seven years ago. This is by no
means an isolated case. In every
part of Iowa you will find farmers
who can cite you to similar in
stances. There are reasons for be-
lieying that further increases are
due, tn...i al1E::sN7E+ss"
But what is the matter with Iowa
land for investment purposes? II
you paid $1OO an acre for 100 acres
seven years ago and could sell it for
1925 an acre today, wouldn't you re-
gard it as better investment than
some of the blue sky propositions
that are every day put up to the
Iowan who has money to invest?
The resident of Iowa is noted for
having money, and the best place
for him to spend his money is right
here at home. .,..r.~
