never once has the engine been
touched. Once the spark plugs were
cleaned, and a little carbon oil put
in the cylinders. and once the fan
broke. but 1t was worn out when 1
started on my trip. The other car
broke something and was laid up for
repairs in Binghamton, N. Y, for a
couple of days, but my little Penn
80 never held meabhck. When I was
ready, 1t was ready. Such mud as
we did pillow through. 1t was

Keokuk is to have a new religious
organization to work here. Mr.. and
Mrs. G. G. Shadrick and Mr.. and Mrs.
y. w. Mays arrived here. from Quincy
last night for the purpose Of opening
local station in this city of the
Baptist Working Mems Mission.
These people We're here recently
looking over the field and were satisfl-
ed that Keokuk presented opportuni-
ties for successful work. Since
their visit here they have been in
touch with Keokuk feeling in regard
to locating at this point, and have
kept up communication on the sub
ject. The encouragement has been,
such that they have been induced to
open the station here and the only OBJ
stacle in the way is the obtaining of
suitable room for their purposes. A
room for their use should be in an ac-
cessible location, convenient to the
class Of people among whom they will
mostly work and large enough for hold
Ing popular services. In other words,
they want to hire hall, down
stairs if possible, but up stairs in pref
erence to no hall. 1t does not require
up-to-date conveniences and comfort,
but place where plain, simple meet
ings may be held for the gathering Of
people such as usually are drawn to
mission meetings. There is no objec-
ton to all the conveniences and COM
fort that can be had, but these are not
absolute requirements in the selection
of a meeting place.
The campaign will be commenced
tonight when their first open meeting
will be held at some point on Main
street not yet selected.
The party appears to be plain,
genteel people, earnest in their work
and will no doubt have the encourage
ment they merit at the hands of Keo-
k'ik citizens of all classes, if there is
! such thing as class in Keokuk.

white corn, while the winning ear was
of pronounced yellow type, was a
peculiar feature.
The Kellogg trophy was won in 1910
at Columbus, Ohio, by r. A. James, of
Charleston, H., with a magnificent ear
of Reid's Yellow Dent, but not so per-
feet an ear as that which originally won
the trophy and which has become known
as the best ear of corn ever grown"
The next award of this trophy will
be made at the next National Corn Elk
position, will be held in February 1918,
at Columbia, S. G. 1t is planned to
make this exposition much broader in
the past, and consequently a longer
time will be required for preparation.
Special buildings are being erected for
the exposition, the main building to be
400 by 1877 feet ground measurements.
The show will last ten days. The state
of South Carolina has appropriated
$40, 900 for the expenses of the exposition
and the prospect is that Dixie will do
herself proud" in an effort to make this
exposition the greatest of its kind ever
held.

J TheMorlds Champion Ear \

had better chance than he had himself.
Palm was born and brought up on a
farm near Newtown, Ind. He has
never owned foot of farm land in his
life. and the 360-acre farm ON which
the champion ear of corn which won
the Kellogg Trophy was grown is a
rented farm.
Mr.. Palms real experience as a farmer
began about sixteen years ago. Hehad
been on the road as grocery speciality
salesman, when he took notion that
he would rather be an agriculturist, so
he took few short courses at Purdue
University and rented portion of the
farm he now occupies. Nine years ago
he began carefully breeding this new
variety of corn, For two years he
planted two rows of Reds Yellow Dent
then, two of Alexander Gold Standard
detasseling the Gold Standard. From
the detasseled rows he picked for seed
only the ears carrying the characteristics
he wanted to reproduce, planting these
in breeding plots and maintaining care
ful selection so that in nine years time
he had developed a well-settled type.
The Palm champion ear was the first
winner of the w. K. Kellogg National
Corn Trophy, handsome silver and
enamel cup made by Tiffany of New
York at a cost of 81 900. Mr.. kellogg
as the originator and manufacturer of
Toasted Corn Flakes naturally has a
deep interest in the development of the
higher grades of corn. for the company

Person Is Responsible.

Rev. DR.. Gavan Duffy in the North
American Review: Tits an unfailing
law that the existence of appetite con-
notes that there is food wherewith to
satisfy it, and the only question for
moralists is the regulation of its lawful
use and the prevention of its abuse.
Consequently to place the blame on the
thing abused and not upon the abuser,
is to evade the whole question. And
just SO long as the prohibitionist con-
tinues to fix responsibility for the
drunkard's downfall upon the drink he
abuses, rather than upon the drunkard
himself, just so long will he furnish
the excuse the abuser is looking for in
the ionofresponsibility Therefore,
to sweep away every saloon, would in
no sense remove temptation; for the
main force of temptation is within the
man andNnot without. Just so long as
the appetite remains the master, the
subject will yield again and again; so
that if it were possible to destroy every
saloon and distillery and to put an end
to all the present known intoxicating
drinks, the debased appetite, spurred
by its craving, would seek till it found
some other and, perchance, worse
stimulant. The only basis of reform.
then, is through the individuals; the
building up of his moral strength and
will power which will result in self
control"

In the first place, Palm knows corn.
If there were no more proof of this fact
than the bare story of the development
and discovery of the champion ear, it
would be enough. And in proof of this
fact. here is the story as he told it
himself:
1T was in November, 1910, and we
were just harvesting our crop. The
weather had been good. but we were a
little late with the harvest. The men
were going through the field with the
wagon in the usual way gathering the
corn, and the harvest was promising
one.
I'VE have a sort of corn show at my
farm all the time, and there is always
an award for exceptionally good ears of
corn-ears sufficiently true to type to
permit of their being exhibited. There
is small box on every corn wagon in
which the most perfect ears are thrown.
These. when properly selected, consti-
tute the seed corn. and among these
moro perfect ears we occasionally find
an ear that we are willing to exhibit in
a contest.
ION the day the champion ear was
found, was at the house and at dinner
time one of the men brought it in and
laid it, with number of other ears,
upon the window sill in the well room
for me to take and put away in the
seed house.
Well, / said, do you think you've
got good ear there?'
g 1t looks to me like a good ear, he
said. What do you think of it,"
II picked it up and looked it over.
Well. said finally, L think it is the
most perfect ear of corn / ever saw.
It's good enough to win the w. X.
Kellogg $1,000 trophy this year at
Omaha.
And / was confident the moment /
saw it, and looked it over, that i held
the trophy winner in my hand. So
