BIRTH REGISTER IN SALT
Novel Certificate" In a Bottle Shown
to oId-Aoe PensIoH OFFICER In
England.

Since the old-age pensions act has
been in operation in England. says a
writer In the Strand Magazine, there
has been q great search for birth GER
tiflcates, in order to enable those en-
titled to its benefits to claim their pen
sions. AS the registration of births,
more than seventy years ago. was not
carried out as now, there has been a
difficulty In many cases In proving
the age Of the applicants, and in one
instance at least q certificate Of an ex-
ceedingly novel character was present
ed. At any rate, the local pension of
fcer said he had never come across
one like 1t, and he was quite prepared
to take il as proof OF the age OF the
applicant. When a child was born in
this particular family q clear glass
bottle was procured and partly filled
with salt; then the letters and figures
forming the names OF the child and
date Of birth were cut out Of a news
paper and placed inside the bottle. be-
ing put in thei-' correct position with
q piece Of wire, and then more salt
was carefully added to keep them in
place. Sprays OF flowers and other or
namental designs, cut from cretonne,
were also tastefully arranged around
the inside of the bottle, and then the
whole was tightly packed with salt.
and corked and sealed. It was then
placed in prominent position on the
dresser or in a corner cupboard, where
1t has been for more than seventy
years. The white salt shows UP the let
ters and ornaments in relief. and the
whole effect Is novel and pleasing.

WHAT lISZT DID FOR MUSIC

IGp, strong, fresh breeze from tho
Hungarian puzta; this wandering
piano player Of Hungarian.Austrian
blood, n genuine cosmopolite, taught
music a new charm, the charm of the
unexpected, of the improvised. The
freedom of Beethoven in his later
works and OF Chopin in all his music
became the principal factor in the
style of Liszt. Music must have the
shape OF an improvision. In the Hun
carian rhapsodes, the majority OF
which begin in a mosque and always
end in a tavern. are the extremes
Of his system. His orchestral and
vocal works. the two symphonies, the
masses and Oratorios and symphonic
poems are full Of dignity, poetic feel
ing, religious spirit, and largeness
Of accent and manner. Yet the gypsy
glance and gypsy voice lurk behind
many a pious or pompous bar. Apart

cism in Germany refused to see List
except as an ex-piano virtuoso with
the morals Of a fly and perverter Of
art. Even the piquant triangle in his
piano concerto was suspected as pos
sibly suggesting the usual situation Of
French comedy.
The Liszt-Wagner question no long
er presents any difficulties to the fair
minded. 1t is a simple one, for men
still living know that Wagner, to
reach his musical apogee, TO reach
his public, had TO lean heavily on the
musical genius and individual inspira
ton of List. The later Wagner would
not have existed--as We now know
him-without first trayersing the gar

Prosperity OF kdYerSity?

Joseph w. Foi!:, one Of the several
candidates for the Democratic nomin

the Democratic position on the tariff
question. In his speeches he constant

party will have nc reason Tor existence.
Protection is either right OF wong. II
it is right, there cannot be too much Of
it. II it is wrong, there should not be
any at all" The Democrats teach that
protection is wrong; they are therefore
for absolute Tree trade. Their demand
,or tariff for revenue" is not sincere
because they do not believe i'll levying
a tariff tax on anything.

Justice To The Victim.

sire, even for a murderer but who will

murderous pistol? Murderers gener-

children Of their victims when appeal
ing 10 courts and the public. Judges
and the people generally should rc-
member the victim Of murdercrs. There
is too much sympathy for guilty men
behind prison bars. Thaw escaped the
Just penalty OF the law by pleading
insanity. As he preferred the insane
asylum to the penitentiary or the cleo

insane as long as he lives, not turned

Proud Of Their Leader.

The militant Republicans in Mis-

They like his policies. They approve
his administration. Many Democrats
feel just the same way. But the thing
that delights the heretofore oslracised
and "patronized" Republican especl-
ally those who have lived all their lives
in Democratic county and district is
the way Governor Hadley 'bufaloes"

He has bumped them SO hard and so
often that they are greatly discouraged d
end down cast. TheRepublican party in
Missouri has never had lis superior as
a leader and fighter; and the rank and
file are following his leadership with
confidence, assurance and enthusiasm to
a triumphant victory next November.

and know him to be honest and sincere
in all his public uttcrances.

The Seed Corn Situation 1912.

The Missouri College Of Agriculture
is receiving numerous inquiries at the
present time as to where high class
seed corn can be secured. On account
Of the very unlavorable season during
the past year, much corn in Missouri
this year is Of too poor quality TO plant
and mony growers wish to get better
seed. In order to supply this demand
and 10 help those farmers who have
good seed 10 dispose Of, as well as to
enable others to secure good seed, the
College is preparing list Of seed corn
growers Of Missouri. Blanks to be
filed out will be furnished upon ap'
plication, and all who have some high
class seed Of one or more Of the stand
ard yaritics are urged to write tor tDase
blanks so that we may be able 10 list
all Of the good seed available this year.
Much seed will be poor this year ana
we wan, 10 list only that of high class
quality, that is pure, Of standard
variety that was gathered early, well
matured, sound and in frs,-class con.
dition. II you have any such seed that
yon want TO dispose Of, write i0r these
blanks and we shalt be glad to relel
some OF these inquiries to you.
In this connection, a word should be
said about testing seed corn this year,
1t is slways a good plan to test seed,
Tor even in a good year a great deal O
the corn planted is Of weak vitality and
does not grow well, This is more
true than ever this year. The dry
weather and late rains in most section,
OF The State prevented corn from
ripeniDg up properly. Then heav5
freezes came early when a great Gca
OF corn was full OF moisture, and these
heavy freezes have badly injured it
vitality. Some will not grow at all an.
large percentage is weak. 1t will pay
ever farmer in Missouri to test every
ear that he plants, for if he does, ht
will undoubtedly find many ears whict
look good. but so weak in vitality tha
he will want to discard them. A little
time and labor spent in testing you
seed corn this spring will return biz
profits next fall.
Every one who buys seed this yea
should buy it in the ear, so that it car
be tested. Don't expect show corr
and don't be disappointed if there are
not as many fancy ears in it as you cX
pected 10 find. High class seed corr
is hard to find this year, and the mos
important consideration is the quality
and whether it vii! grow,
