SEED CORN IN BREMER.
TIVayerly Independent1

lWaVerly independent
One Bremen county farmer. who was
a welcome caller this week. told that
he had tested every ear OF the seed
corn that he expected to plant on forty
acres, and that the four kernels taken
out of every ear showed strong ger
minating qualities, with the exception
of four ears. From one. only two kerr
nels of the four grew. and the others
showed three good kernels each. When
asked how he saved his seed corn he
said If we would not publish his name
in correction with the story he would
tell us. And that Is why his name is
not printed herein. This seed was all
selected in the field the last week in
September. 1911. It was hung up
where it never got wet, but where the
air could reach every ear. Before zero
weather came it was put in vacant
room of the house, which he uses for
that purpose. That room is always
dry. no steam or vapor of any kind
can reach it. but it is we'll ventilated.
He said he never had poor seed corn
when he saved 1t that way, and that
the work 1t took to save it that way
was as profitable as any work he did
on his farm. Nay be 1t would pay to
save this story where It will turn up
next September.

THE DARK HORSE.
MASON City TineS-1

It now looks as tho a possible chance
existed 70 prevent the naming of Will
liam H. Taft upon the first ballot at
Chicago, and If this is done. a COM
promise candidate for the presidency is
the only possible. solution Of the party
fight. To name Roosevelt would kill the
last chance for republican success. for
the Taft men, to "a man. would knife
the candidate who has so traitorously
betrayed him. The La Toilette men
would knife this man Teddy, who.
when La Toilette doomed large in the
presidential skies. and when he would
otherwise have had the combined pro-
gressive forces Of the country back Of
him. stepped into the limelight. threw
his hat into the ring. picked UP the
progressive reform of La Toilette,
which he had not touched in three
years, and sailed forth to pick the
plum him self. regardless of La Toilette
and his pledges of honor to him.
The bitterness between Taft. Roose
welt and La Toilette followers absolute
~ precludes any one Of the three from
being good material for a compromise
candidate. II the party shall get to-
gether. It will be upon some other can
didate. Albert B. Cummins looms up as
the greatest OF the compromise candi-
dates: Taft, Roosevelt and La Toilette
men would all unite upon the Iowa
senator when they see the impossibility
OF their own favorite being named, and
II Cumnnins is named. he will be strong
with the republican rank and file. Iowa
now has chance to assist In this
chance for the presidency. When the
choice OF delegates t-larGe and the
choice Of resolutions at Cedar Rapids
comes up before the state convention,
will those delegates vote as they know
the rank and file Of republican voters
Of Iowa, regardless Of previous fac
tional alignments, wish, or will they
ignore public sentiment?

TINE FARM JOB AND THE MAN.

The farmers Of the state find them
selves this spring badly off for hired
men. Wages are good. running from
$25 to s35 per month. Wages like these
mean equality with skilled labor IN the
towns and cities because they include
board and room and often washing
and mending. Still the story of hun
dreds and thousands of idle men come
from the cities while the farmers cal!
for help with t,.e money in their
hands.
A considerable number OF these
i0lers and charity feeders in the cities
would refuse work on the farms II II
were offered them and most OF these
were TO accept il. Many OF them re

But there is class which would bet

farmers knew how TO get them there.
Given a penniless family without farm
acquaintance and how are they 10 find
the farm job or get 70 il: How is the

Jewish socie tiss-and Jewish socie-
ties are the most practically helpful
in the world among their own people
have gone long way toward solving
the problem. Capable agents seek out
deserving families who are adapted 10
the rransplanrlng process and search
places on the farms for them. They
go farther than that, they see that

Swimming Pool. or Life eoat.7

st. LOUIS GlObe-Democrdt
But what shall be said Of the steam
boat com pany which gave preference
to gymnasiums. swimming pools, the
aters and tennis courts to nfe-saving
appliances? The explanation is that
the public demanded these Injuries
to such an extent that the quota Of
lifeboats had to be ruled out. No room
was left for any except third of the
number which would accommodate
passengers and crew in q wreck. But
while this explanation explains. 1t does
not excuse. Not all Of the travellers
who patronise those big boats ask for
any such luxuries. And even II they
did. safety has some rights which yes
sci owners should be compelled to re-
spect. Our own laws impose severe
penalties on any violation of this
elemental requirement. And. for our
own credit as an enlightened and hui
name people. these penalties should be
rigidly enforced in the Titanic case,
even tho the boats hereafter be COM
PEELED to part with few Of the dissi-
pations which handful Of American
and European fashionables ask for.

the railroad officials after having re-
fused to accept q low price for the

ford opportunity for enrichment mere
ly as q swee, and kindly deed done to
the poor and deserving. The question
of something for nothing gets brief
room. What did Archibald have to
trade?
Where did Archibald get his trading
stocko He is President Taft's ap-
pointee to President Taft's commerce
court. He is federal circui, judge in
court where procedure is mainly de-
pendent upon the presiding judge. II
he were minded TO make market there
was no lack of trading stock.
The president has been extremely
unfortunate in some OF his selections
for important places. Ballinger was
one of these unfortunates. And there
are others. McCabe and Dunlap are
still high men in the agricultural de-
partnlenr and Wiley is outside The
list is long. The best that can be said
Of II all is that the president has been
poorly advised in his effort to please
the interests he has assumed to be
most powerful in this country's poll
tics.
II Archibald has been caught with
the goods on and shall be impeached
of his office the hope will endure that
others like him shall also be unearthed
and deposed and that out of the agita-
ton created by exposure a cleaner and
higher level of judicial appointment
may result.
