General observation shows beyond
INV question that the farmers who
.ro most successful with sweet corn,
sra those who employ the following
niles. Plant early, use plenty of ma
rrre and high grade commercial fer
tlizer, keep the corn clean from weeds
and we'll cultivated, do not plant too
thick use seed we'll adjusted to the
locality in which it is to be grown.
The following detailed plan is drawn
m for the guidance of farmers who
desire to improve their sweet corn
seed.
First Years Work.
In the first years work towards an
improved strain of seed, only the field
selections of plants from which ears
are later to be used for planting can be
made. These selections should be made
of the growing plants in the field. In
choosing plants to be saved for seed
look out for the following points in
the order named. In going over the
field one should provide himself with
some strips of cheap bright colored
cloth, about feet long and 2 to 3
inches wide. When a stalk is select
ed to be saved for seed one @ these
cloths should be tied around just
below the tassel. This md y the

This will never happen if small spoonful
of cornstarch is added to the other in

For those who do not store their furs,
it is good plan to pack them in tobacco,
instead of moth balls and the like, as the
tobacco keeps away moths and leaves no
permanent odor. l buy fve-cent pack

then wrap in newspapers.-Mrs. o. B.,

Pillows, much more acceptable for sum-
mer use than are the ordinary feather pill
lows, may be made by filling a ticking
bag with silk, clipped very fine. These
pillows are both cool and soft. It's an
excellent way to utilize worn-out petit
coats, bodices and bits of ribbon.-M. H.,

A Slippery Stepping Stone

A question that is more or less puzzling
to many people concerns the comparative
unimportance of the Vice Presidency. It
seems to have been assumed originally
that the Vice Presidency was stepping
stone to the higher office. John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson and Martin Van Buren,
all Travelled by that route; but since Van
Buren,, no Vice-President has reached the
Presidency except through the death of
his chief.
Being Vice-President was of direct as
sistance to Jefferson in becoming Presi-
dent; but he reached the highest place
chiefly because he was the head, virtually
the creator, of great political party, as
well as the author of the Declaration of
Independence. Without going into de-
tails, it was the mistrust in which Jeffer-
son held Aaron Burr that prompted the
greatest of all our Presidents to change
the order of succession from Vice Presi-
dent to Secretary of State an order
that was consistently followed for sew
eral administrations, beginning with
Madison and Monroe, both of whom were
Secretaries of State before reaching the
White House, and both of whom turned
instinctively to the Sage Of Monticello
for suggestion and advice. The chances
are that never again will three neighbors,
close personal and political friends, hold
the Presidency for six consecutive terms.
An extremely old gentleman of Char
louisville, Virginia, told me some years
ago that he remembered seeing as a child
the three exPresidents standing together
on a street corner, on county court day,
discussing crop prospects with the farm
ers Of Albemarle "a sight worth a jour
ney across the continent to behold and
one that in all probability will never be
duplicated in this world.
That men henceforth may attain, or
fail of attaining, the Presidency by the
same ways and means that have hitherto
obtained is a serious and interesting ques
tion of the hour. There are growing and
clamoring indications that party candi-
dates will never again be nominated as at
Baltimore and Chicago; but that four
years hence our Presidential nominees
will be chosen directly by the people, and
that the great party Conventions will
simply resolve their functions into a rati-
fcation of the voice and choices of the
people.

It is usually a difficult task satisfac-
torily to clean delicate embroidery work.
The following plan is excellent: For
pieces that are too fragile to be washed
in soap and water, make a thick paste of
French chalk. The chalk should be quite
hot, and be sprinkled thiekly over the en-
broidery. Then, roll the latter carefully,
so that the chalk is inside. Leave it in
dark place for a week or ten days. Then,
shake it out and the embroidery will be
found to be quite fresh again. If the en-
broidery is wanted in hurry, rub the hot
chalk through it and repeat the process
several times. If any dirt remains, use
little more chalk and leave it over night
if possible.-Miss L. M. H., Gloucester,
Mass.

But not from, Buttleship

In fact, no one can read the history
of our country carefully without conclud-
ing that one direct road to the White
House leads straight from the battlefield.
That it should lead from the battlefield
and not from the battleship is one of the
oldest facts in history. For, while we
make popular heroes of our great naval
commanders, we have never elected one
of them to the Presidency; not one has
ever been even seriously considered in
that high and honorable connection.
Why is this? Probably for the reason
that the commander of a battleship or
the Admiral of a fleet is necessarily auto
cratic, ruling and living in a world by
itself, world of which the average citi-
zen has at best very hazy conception.
Life afloat, furthermore, does not afford
opportunities for free and unlimited COM
munication with a fellow-citizenry, as
does life ashore.
This opportunity of mixing with the
rank and file, coupled with the forensic
training, the studies, and the habits of
thought engendered by the legal profess
sion, accounts largely for the fact that
twenty of our twenty-six Presidents have
been lawyers, thereby demonstrating that
the most certain road to the White House
runs from the Bar. No lawyer, however,
has ever risen high enough in his profess
sion to be elected to the Presidency with
out having had more or less experience
in public life. Indeed, the circumstances
seem to show that they are not elected
because they are lawyers, but by reason
of their public careers, made possible by
their profession.
President Taft incidentally is the only
prominent member of the Judiciary ever
to the Chief Magistracy of the
Republic.
Most of the twenty lawyer Presidents
were never very busy with their profes
sion, as Sam Jones once remarked of GER
tain church members whom he knew; but
while no President, with the possible ex-
ceptions of John Adams, Franklin Pierce,
Benjamin Harrison and Judge Taft, was,
when elected, rated as a great lawyer, it
is safe to say that some of them would
have been so considered had they devoted
their time and energies exclusively to the
law. Jefferson, Madison, Van Buren,,
Lincoln and Garfield would most likely
have been pre-eminent at the Bar, had
they eschewed politics.
We have never had what might be
called strictly business man for Presi-
dent, and the reason probably is that the
bigger the man in business, the more en-
crossed is he in his own affairs and in

KNAPP-FELT soft
IN hats and Derbies are
fine examples of Ameri-
can skill and experience.
Each hat bearing the
Knapp-Felt trade mark
represents the knowledge
gained from more than
fifty years search for the
best in methods and ma
terials; the honest effort
to give to the man who
wears the hat the same
satisfaction that is felt by
the organization which
makes it.
THE prime recon-
l. mendation of Knapp
Felt hats is in their notice
able elegance of style-a
rare combination of ex-
quisite taste in design,
trained instinct in fore
casting changes in fashion
and the ability to embody
these qualities in worthy
merchandise. The man
who owns a Knapp-Felt
hat may feel a pride in its
possession which no for
eign mark can give. He
has the best the world
can produce.
HNAPP-FELT hats are sold
IL in this city by hatters
whose desire is to give to their
patrons a full return for their
investment.
Knapp-Felt Deluxe soft hats
and DerbieS are Six Dollars,
Knapp-F elts are Four Dollars
and the c. & K. quality is
Three Dollars.

NATIONWIDE
PRIMARY PLAN
Representative Norris Intro
duCeS Bill to Put End to
Boss Rule"
WOULD NOT ABOLISH
NATIONAL CONVENTION
BY The United Press.

by Inc united Press.
WASHINGTON. July 5.-A nation
wide Presidential primary play was
proposed to the House today by Rep
resentative Norris, of Nebraska. as
an antidote for boss rule in poll
tics. The measure seeks to avoid
conflict with the constitution, by re-
ouiring that the State Legislatures
must adopt its provisions as the State
laws, and that the plan is null unless
ratified by twenty States.
The bill provides primaries to be
held on the first Tuesday in May in
election years and a national con-
vention on the fourth Monday in
June At the primaries the voters
will be called on to express a FIRST
and second choice for President and
TO choose delegates. The Presiden-
tial candidate who receives a major
ity in q State, is entitled to as many
votes in the convention as the State
is entitled 10 in the convention.
If II appears that one candidate
has a majority in the convention by
reason of his victories in the States
that candidate becomes the choice OF
his party, without action by the con-
vention. If not, the convention sell
lects one, names a Vice President
and adopts a platform.
