ear measures 1-2 inches in circumfer-
ence; Palms Z S-4 inches. There are
% rows of kernels on Bailey's ear; 20
rows on Palms. Bailey's ear measured
rs of an inch in length of kernels;
Palms ga of an inch. The width of
kernels in Baileys ear are S-S of an
inch; on Palms they are about S-S of an
inch.
Bailey explains that his corn is now
pretty well dried out and would not
weigh the same as when pulled last
fall. On the other hand, Palms ear was
pulled when it was practically green.
The weight of the Indiana ear is there
fore greater than that of the Georgia
product.
If this ear which Bailey grew in
8-yan-eellnty is tc-lss- sikeiS 49, ssfETT-
pie of the corn he grows, then this
Georgian can show EN- all how to plant
and grow the great home product. Bailey
says he has whole fields of very ex-
ceIlent corn, but the several ears he
exhibits are, of course, the best that could
be found in the crop.
Mr. Bailey's greatest concern now is
to know how he can get the $1,000 trophy
away from the Indiana man. He de-
clares he is entitled to it, and should
have it. He wants the world to know
that the best of everything that grows.
including corn, comes from Georgia.
While he acknowledges that he is 70 years
old, he says that he has many other
long summers ahead of him in which
to demonstrate his and his states ability
TO produce prize winning corn.
The trophy is next to be competed for
at Columbia, S. c., at the National Corn
show to be held there In February of
next year Mr.. Bailey says he win be
there with bells on.

REMINDED HER OF OLD DAYS
Zeal Old-Fashioned House Cleaning
in the City interesting Because
of Its Novelty.

There's real oldfashioned house
cleaning going on next door," said the
girl who lives on the top floor, "ard
it's SO long since l saw anything ap-
preaching it that it seems mighty in
teresting. People move SO much in
New York that there doesn't appear
to be any more reason for houseclean-
ing. They have rugs instead Of car
pets and they hang pictures on tacks
and leave their curtains up all sum-
mer, which no self-respecting woman
would do in the old days.
But next door they are beating car
pets and painting shutters and they've
hung all the winter clothes out on the
lines and washed the blankets and
whitewashed the cellar and put the
window screens out and played the
hose on them, and you can just imag-
inc how clean and cool and shining
the house will be when it's all over
with. Of course 1t is not so easy as
the new way of hiring housecleaning
companies that bring their air brooms
and other apparatus that do the job
up in twenty-four hours or so, but you
cannot convince an old housekeeper
that the machine way of cleaning
house is better than the old way any
more than you could make her believe

Libraries in Navy.

The navy department spends every
year $4,000 for libraries for it's ships.
Each ships" library includes 300
books, mostly technical and more or
less expensive on that account. A
crews" library is usually made up
of about five hundred books on fiction
and of such character suitable for en-
tertainment.
About one-third of the books are re-
placed each year. The changes are
made upon recommendation of those
in charge of the ships, but it has de-
veloped that this is not satisfactory
method, as much depends upon the
points of view on literature possessed
by the responsible persons. So it is
proposed to standardize the libraries
by making the changes in Washington,
applying them generally to all ships.
1t is further held that this plan would
work for economy, effecting a saving
of from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.

American war and was sent to Jeffer-

the company streets smoking a cigar
when an officer approached. King sa-
luted.

Three days." replied King.
"You are excused this time" said
the officer, "but don't let me catch you
doing that again."
In short time King met the same
officer and walked by without salut.

why didn't you salute?" demanded

Won't Have His Calling Insulted.

There is one sure way to insult a
delicatessen storekeeper and turn the
honey Of his disposition into gall. 1t
can be done by remarking carelessly
as you buy his meat balls or fish
cakes that you only want them for the
cat, anyhow. No delicatessen man
with an ounce of dignity can stand
that.
Il lost a customer last week by re-
fusing to sell ring Of liverwurst to
a woman who was buying it for her
dog said one man in the trade. "She
was a good customer, but when she
decided that she guessed that ring Of
wurst would do because she only want
ed it for the dog, said: Madam, hui
man beings might feel honored to eat
that wurst; it is not for dogs and l
put it back in the case.
Meat balls composed of the very
best beef, veal, eggs, and cracker
crumbs are likewise insulted. They
will do for the cat. If women must
buy these delicacies for their pets, let
them, but let them refrain from insult
ing the storekeeper by telling him

NEED or FRESH FOOD SHOWN
Scientific Name Given to Disease
Which Afflicted Members Of
Polar Exploration Parry.

In an address lately given before
the Geological Society CT France, DR..
Jacques Liouville, the physician and
naturalist who accompanied the Pour
Iuoi-Pas on her antartic expedition,
stated the chief physical troubles with
which the crew had to contend were
three in number, all, III his opinion,
spTinging from the lack of fresh food.
He therefore terms this polar malady
the disease Of conserved food" The
malady comprised symptoms of
scurvy, polar anaemia and severe
frost bites or chilblains, which fire.
quently bled constantly The under
lying cause of all the affections is an
alteration in the chemical compost
ton of the blood-or "dyscrasia." The
heart functioned badly, and the pa
tients suffered from terrible shortness
of breath, frequent drowsiness, and
oedema of the lower eXtremeties.
They were easily exhausted and un-
able to march, while the slightest
movement brought on intense palpita-
tion. However, all these morbid
symptoms disappeared within ten days
when fresh meat was obtainable, and
did not appear again after the fresh
wild celery obtained ct TERRA del
Fuego had been enjoyed for some
time. DR.. Louville took just pride
in the fact that this was the first
polar expedition which ever restored
all its members to their homes in a
state Of perfect health. He had three
surgical cases to handle. Recovery
was highly satisfactory, which he as
cribes partly to the entire absence Of
pathogenic bacteria and partly to the
fact that there was not trace of al
American.
