Five people riding in an auto
mobile We're saved from an in
voluntary plunge and probable
drowning in the Blue Earth
river, about a mile and half
above the Rapidam dam, Tues
day evening, and that they es-
capped this fate is due to their
own and the drivers presence
of mind.
The party of five were from
Nebraska and EN- route to Man
kato. And were coming via the
bridge across what is known
as the Mills ford. While attempt
ing to make the hill the car
baked. The ladies dismounted
and the driver backed down the
hill to make a new start. The
incline was very steep and he
lost control of the car when it
was on the edge of an eighty
foot embankment almost straight
up from the river.
When he found that he had
lost control of his car the driver
jumped-just before the car
dashed over the embankment.

MEET OF COLLEGE BOARD

The annual meeting of the board
of trustees of Parker college was
held at Winnebago Tuesday. Among
those present from out of town were
Revs. Allen of Fairmont, Emery of
Amboy, Cahoon of Worthington and
Cowgirl of Mankato. All the old Of
ficers were reelected and M. A. AL
vey was elected member of the
board of trustees in place of H. W..
Parker. Owing largely to local con-
dtions, in all probability the new
dormitory will not be built this sum-
mer, but the work will be deferred
until next year. The matter of the
Hancher campaign for funds was
taken up and discussed thoroughly,
and action will be taken later. Res
olutions were adopted thanking all
who have given generous support to
the college.

The Prosecuting Attorneys Race.

Unofficial returns from Calhoun, Ouaohita and Union counties in the prosecuting attorneys race give the following totals with Columbia county to be heard from: Mahony 22OO; Mcknight 1915; Kelso 93z. It is reported that Mahony received 25O votes in Columbia county which if true will make it necessary for Kelso to receive over 1900 votes in his home county to win and Mcknight would have to re- ceive $50 there to defeat him. The race IS very close and the win her will probably have less than 100 plurality.

Test Your Seed Corn.

WHY? Because it will increase your yield, make your labor of more value and add to your income. One good ear of seed corn will bring forth eight to ten bushels of corn. One poor ear may cause you to lose half as much. Untest- ed seed corn means poor stand. weak and barren stalks. idle lands and unproftable labor. Make the test and see.
 HOW? It is easy and inexpens- i've Make a box l2112 inches wide, inside measurement. and 9 inches deep, Fill the box a little more

than half full of sand or sawdust. Mark off a piece of cheese cloth into squares two inches each way. numbering each square. and place the cheese cloth over the sand or sawdust. Select the bast ears you have, numbering each to corre- spond with one of the sausrze. With the blade of a jack knife re- move six kernels from ear No. 1, beginning about two inches from the butt and working sprally to- ward the tip, taking two kernels from near the butt, two near the middle and two near the tip. Thor oughtly moisten the sand or saw dust in the box. and place the six kernels, germ side up. in square No l. Handle the other ears likewise. Then place another piece of cheese cloth over the ker- Hnels, cover-it with more sand or saWdust, moisten and set away in some place where the temperature will not fall below 55 degrees F. See that the contents of the box are kept moist but not wet.
 About eight days after this ex- anime the kernels in the box. If all six kernels in a square have put forth strong vigorous roots and sprouts, use the ear for seed. If not discard it. Weak sprouts mean weak or barren stalks and they are what you wish to avoid. You can not afford to plant an ear that is proven faulty. If kernels fail to germinate in the test box you have avoided bare, unprofitable spaces in your corn field.
 A more elaborate and somewhat more expensive tester may made in this way: Place two or three thicknesses of canton flannel in stead of sand or sawdust in the bottom of the box. Mark the fan nel off in two inch squares. thor , oughly wet the -a@nnes. place tha kernels in the squares and cover them with one or two thicknesses of fannels thoroughly moistened Then cover the box with piece of oilcloth or glass and set away n a warm place.
