MUNICIPAL NEWS
Some Items of Interest From the
Public Offices About Occur.
rances of the Week.

Health Commissioner George b.
Young gave out statement last
Monday in which he set forth that the
sentences of the Municipal Court for
violations of the health ordinances
are not enforced. He said:
The Department of Health is con.
stantly besieged by complaints from
citizens over the delay in correcting
gross insanitary conditions about
which complaint has been made.
THE only protection the citizens of
Chicago have against impure food
and insanitary conditions is through
the performance by the officers of
the Municipal Court of their full duty
in regard to the enforcement Of the
judgments of the court.
Operas and dramas were favorites
with the patrons of the Chicago Pub.
lie Library during October. according
to a report made by Librarian Henry
T.. Legler, at q meeting of the direc-
tors Monday.
There were 35,17O more books
drawn from the library and its
branches during October than in
October, 1911" he said. "Of this
number the branch reading rooms
had the greater number, with 111,5S1:
53,649 books were drawn from the
main library. and 1888 at stations
where books are taken as called for.
Operas and dramas led. with Juvenile
books a close third"

Young asks for sSS6.0OO for the health
department for 1918. an increase over
1912 of 100000. when the department
was allowed 100000. All depart

0 r THAN PAINTED.

The truth hurts sometimes, but
painful truths often result ultimate
ly in good. When Alderman Kirk,
in his capacity as a sanitary COM
mitteeman, went out TO the city
slaughter house and then turned in
a report on the conditions he found
there he told a truth that hurt bad
ly-so badly, in fact, hat the Her
aid was reluctant to publish it, not
only because it might hurt the town
to have such reports published
about it, but because the relation
of it would make reading that would
sicken the strongest stomachs and
bankrupt the local butchers. 1t was
not necessary to print that report.
1t went straight home. 1t has re-
suited in the mayor going with a
committee of citizens to visit the
slaughter house ito see for them
selves" They saw and were con-
Iquered. The mayor frankly admits
that conditions there are even worse
than depicted by Alderman Kirk,
and he promises that steps shall be
taken at once to cleanse that impor-
tant source of food of the pollution
with which ii is reeking.
Let us hope that it may be puri-
fed as quickly as possible, and see
that II shall never again be per-
mitted to become so foul.
In conclusion might one ask
where has the alleged city sanitary
inspector been all this time?

KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP.

When the world seems going wrong
And a minors in your song,
Keep a stiff upper lip. upper lip;
When your cloud perhaps is dark
And the foul j. in your spark,
Don't allow you clutch on con-
fidence to slip.
There is nothing quite so pressing,
There is nothing SO distressing,
There's no grief so great, nor so
intense a sorrow
That it can not be set right
By a good sleep, over night
There's a nightly lot of promise
in Tomorrow
1t is easy to lament,
Easy riding the descent,
And it's hard when Luck has
got you on the hip;
But the man who stands the gaff-
Who can look at Fate and laugh
Is the n who keeps a stiff upper
lip.
So cut out the moaning, pining,
And the fretting and the whining
Here's a solace for your trouble,
if it fits it:
Luck may fight you if she will,
But no man is licked until
He himself throws down his
colors and admits it!

PREPARE NOW TO
SAVE SEED CORN FOR
USE NEXT YEAR

Careful experimentation and in
vestigation covering a period of ten
or fifteen years has satisfactorily
proven that Texas grown seed pro-
duced in the neighborhood where it
is to be planted is the safest, best
and most productive that can be
used.
AS almost every one knows the
silk on the cob before the corn Is
formed is simply a hollow tube lead
ing to the cob and can not produce
a grain of corn unless it is fertilized
by the pollen or fine dust that falls
in great profusion from the ripen-
ing tassel. If conditions are favor
able for crop growing and the stalk
that bears the ear is well bred and
vigorous and the stalk that bears the
pollen is its equal or superior in
these desirable qualities, then great
ears and full plump grains are the
happy results. But if either party
to this union lacks these qualifica-
tions then the results are not salts
factory.
Every corn grower can greatly in
crease his next years yield by a
careful system of cultivation and Sc
lection from his own crop this sea
son. 1t is very harmful to allow
positive inbreeding with corn, that
is, to allow the pollen from the tas-
sci Of a given stalk to fertilize the
silk on the a Of the same stalk. To
prevent this, choose a few acres Of
the very best of your corn where
I'll conditions are favorable, good
stand, good growth, etc. Mark off,
say thirty rows, about the center of
this good patch seventy steps long
and pull off the tassel from every
row to prevent pollen from these
runty stalks from fertiliZing the
silk Of your strong stalks and thus
dwarfing the corn. In fact, it would
pay big to 90 over the entire corn
field and pull out the tassels Of every
feeble stalk. Thin the corn in row
number two to II good stalk to the
hill, three feet apart, absolutely de-
stroying all weak stalks in this row
and d~etasseling or pulling out the
tassel from all of the stalks.
AS the even rows in this patch are
to be your seed producers every stalk
must be a good one. Treat row
number three and all other rows of
odd number as you did number n
and treat all other rows of ven
number as you did number two. To

SATURDAY, MAY, Is, 1912.
NEGRO SOLDIERS RIGHTLY
DISMISSED.

The people of Brownsville will be
interested to know that the case Of
the negro soldiers who shot up the
town on the night of August -,
1906, has become an issue in Ohio
politics as between Roosevelt and
Taft.
A brief outline of the Colonel's re-
marks on the subject appeared in
The Herald of Thursday. A more
extended report of what he said on
the subject will be found in the eX-
tract from the news columns of the
Houston Post, printed below.
"A certain Lorimer congress-
man from Illinois, said he,
who is supporting Mr.. Taft,
has come into Ohio brining a
number Of members Of the two
companies Of the colored regi-
ment who were discharged on
account of the riots at Browns
Vile, Texas. These men are
brought here by the Taft man
ayers to assail me for what |
did at Brownsville to try to get
our colored fellow citizens to
vote against me.
Il did take the action at
Brownsville and my judgment
in taking it has been ratified
over and over again. ] want
you to understand hat | am
not taking back by one fingers
breadth any action of mine.
If should lose every delegate
in every state in the Union by
taking it | would take that ac-
ton over again.
Colonel Roosevelt held up a
copy of the report of the secre-
tary of war for 1906 and readV
an extract from it in which ref
erence was made to the Browns
vile affair.
There Is Mr.. Taft's own re-
port upon which | acted he
continued. 81 do not shift any
responsibility upon Mr.. Taft.
/ take it all. But Mr.. Taft
should be responsible for his
actions, too. Mr.. Taft recon-
mended to me that these men
should be dismissed for a
heinous crime. Does Mr.. Taft
now say that when he made
that report to me and submitted
il to congress he said what was
not true. He has for three
a been president and he
could have reinstated every man
OF that regiment
1t required considerable courage
on the part of Col. Roosevelt to make
such a speech in the city of Spring
field. Race feeling is strong and bit
ter in Springfield, which has a large
negro population. No doubt his
ringing declaration in defense of his
action in sustaining the dismissal OF
the negro soldiers who committed
the crime at Brownsville will lose
him votes in President Taft's state,
despite the fact that Taft, as secre-
a Of war, reported against the
negro soldiers and upheld Roosevelt's
curse.

FIVE MONTHS SPORT OF SEAS
Oil Barge WoodhaIl, Long Believed
Lost, Arrives at Trinidad, Accord

New York.-After battling for five
months on a seemingly shipless ocean.
Capt. Edwin L. Smith Of London has
arrived at Trinidad with the fifty-tive
foot oil barge Woodhall, from Eng.
lish shipyards, according to word re-
ceived by friends here. Smith dared
to pilot the little barge on her peril
Gus trip, which was proposed to save
the expense Of towing, where a dozen
other London shippers feared to try
it. 1t was expected that the trip could
be made in forty days. but she met
adverse weather and was the sport OF

had been given up as lost.
According 20 the report received

NO CEREMONIES
ON MARCH 47H
Wilson Will Make Radical
Change in Old Tradition.
TO WAIT FOR GOOD WEATHER.
Announces Departure From Inausu'
ration Arrangement That Has
Prevailed Since Washing
toms Day.

Hamilton, Bermuda. - President
elect Wilson has announced that
though he would agree TO begin sworn
in as president on March 1, as pro-
vided by the Constitution as the legal
beginning of a presidential term, the
main inaugural ceremonies would be
postponed until Thursday, April "a,
because OF the VIGOROUSLY bad weather
that prevails in Washington during
the early part of March.
AS his reason for making the pro-
posed change Governor Wilson gave
the health of those participating in
the inaugural ceremonies. He said
that in nearly every instance the
weather had been inclement on the oc-
casion of the induction of presidents
into Office and he thought that nobody
could suffer any grievous inconven-
fence by a few weeks delay OF the
pomp and ceremony if the letter of
the law was carried out by his taking
the oath on the legal day.
BY his announcement of a postpone
ment of inaugural ceremony Governor
Wilson has changed a custom that has
been traditional since the second in
duction of Washington. The first
president on his first election took the
oath in New York on April 80, but the
second time he formally took up his
duties in Washington on March 4 and
every president since that time has
followed the custom.
Mr. Wilson's change of date for the
great display of pomp and circum-
stance surrounding the induction into
office of new president comes as
the result of the agitation regarding
change of date for the inauguration
which recurs almost every four years.
