worth 54.54 cents and 25 per cent,
ELLA ceLts.
Taking a concrete example: A farm
Pc: cent of moisture, at 60 cents per
bushel, which costs him $50. BY con-
suring the table referred to above,
we find that if corn with II per cent
of moisture can be bought at the same
price, 60 cents, the corn costing 500
with 20 per cent of moisture is actual
ly worth $5454, or $5.46 less than the
cost price. In the above case, if the
farmer had purchased corn with IL
per cent of moisture he would have
received $5.46 worth of feed more
than he did when buying the corn
with 20 Ier cent moisture.
The amount of water in corn can
be very quickly and accurately de-
terminated by the use of the Brown
DuveI Moisture Tester. Weigh, up 10
kernels of corn from a composite
sample representing the average con
dition of the corn to be tested, and
place in the large flask A, shown III
the accompanying illustration. Then
add $50 C. C. of high grade machine oil
with flashing point above 400 de-
grces F. The fash should then be
placed in position as shown in the
illustration. the thermometer inserted
through a rubber stopper, the outlet
| connected with tube running
through the cold water tank into the
graduated measure below. Heat is
applied by the burner to the wire
gauze below flask A. The fame should
be so regulated as to require about 20
minutes for the thermometer to reach
100 degrees c, or 1872 degrees F., at
which time the fire is turned out and
the flask allowed to remain in posi-
ton until the water stops dripping in
| The graduated measure. This usually
requires four or FIVE minutes.
g ascertain the per cent of mois-
cure, read the graduate at the top OF
he water and below the small guam
lily of oil. This gives the per cent of
moisture in the, original sample of
.orn. Thus, if the reading is 16, this
means that there is 16 per cent, or 16
! pounds of water in every 100 pounds
/ # The original corn.
The determination Of moisture by
| this process is due to the fact that oil
has a higher boiling point than water.
ihe moisture in the corn is drawn off
ir the form of steam by applying heat.
Tie steam passing through the outlet
asd down the tube leading through
thu cold water tank, is condensed into
SEer which runs into the graduate
below and can be read directly into
the per cent of moisture in the origl-
nal sample.
Every farmer should be interested
| in knowing the amount Of water in the
corn he is purchasing for feed. It is
also important that he know some
thing about the moisture it contains
when he sells his corn. The determi
nations are CO easily made, it would
seem advisable for the farmers in a
community to purchase q tester like
the one described above and install it
in the grange hall, or some other
place where it could be used By all
concerned.

A PEN PORTRAIT DONE
BY AAML|N GARLAND

| A great many years ago Hamlin Gar

entitled Main Travelled Roads" which
portrayed the ragedy of western farm
life with the pen of genius. Mr.. Gar
land has been writing ever since then,
and among a long list of his well
known works are Prairie Folks" The
Wayside Crusaders" Biography of U.

Herd" Her Mountain Lover" The

an equally interesting career as a re-
former. He has always been support
ing the men who at the moment rep
resented some vital question of prog
ression. He campaigned for Cleve-
land. supported Bryan, and advocates
the reelection of Theodore Roosevelt.

Broadened by his wonderful expert

with the truly great men of the world,
he is a candidate who will honor the
presidential chair more than the chair
would honor him, for we have seen
that not even the White House can
make a small man great or a weak
man strong.
Theodore Roosevelt is now in the
prime of his manhood, absolutely tenn
perate, with keen sense of humor, hard
as nails physically, deeply imbued with
a feeling that he has a fight to win, a
duty to perform, and no amount of vi
tuperation will avail to prevent him.
He will not down because he is a rep

@ULD BEATING CASE

~ Melville Moody, the boy who left
his fathers home to 60 to his sister
and for whose going the editor Of the
Press was arrested and promptly ac-
Quilted, has published a signed article
in conflict with his own testimony in
the case, and Justice Nayfeld has also
published a. article on the subject of
the trial.
Since this subject has been raised
by the trial, neighbors of the Moody
family have volunteered to the editor
of the Press not only to give informa-
tion regarding the brutal whipping Of
the boy, Who is subject 10 epilepsy. but
more recently TO similar treatment Of
q younger member of the family.
That the boy. under such treatment
should be induced to sign a statement
in conflict with his testimony in court.
when his parents were not present
casts some additional light on the sub
icct. II court he testified that the
plan for leaving home and going to his
sister was made up by himself and
elade and that he saw q letter from
his sister to Slade offering him a
home In his signed article. under his
PARENTS influence. apparently. he lays
the blame on the editor of the Press.
The fact is that a purse was made
Up. contributed by number Of citi-
zens who knew of the abuse the boy
was subjected to. to help him get to
his sisters and the marks of the
whipping on the boys back were
shown in the Press office several days
after the whipping.
As for Justice Mayfield, the Press be
Heves he acted according to the best
motives, but that he made a mistake
in judgment and in law.
The law provides that NJ person is
qualified to swear to a warrant in a
felony case Of this character except
upon his own knowledge, unless his
affidavit is accompanied by an affdaV-
il from some person who can testify on
his own knowledge. The complaining
witness in this case. the father who
had administered the beating, had no
knowledge except hearsay, and yet
vas permitted by the justice to swear
TO the complaint without it being sup
ported by other affidavit.
A justice Of the peace is not pre-
sumed to know the law, and the dis
trict attorney for that reason is made
his legal advisor. But knowing that
the district attorney had investigated
the case and had refused to have q
warrant issued, Justice Mayfeld issued
the warrant On the affidavit Of a man
who was not legally competent to act
as complaining witness.
The interest the Press has in this
matter simply rests on sentiment of
common humanity, and it believes re
straint should be brought to bear on
parents TO prevent them treating their
children with brutality.

WHY AN 4 PROGRESSIVE
IBy Hamlin GarIand

Occasionally. not often, | am asked.
why are you for Roosevelt and John
SOM" and the only political speech l
am capable of making is in answer
to that question. l shall be very per
sonal. because I believe that all our
affairs at the last analysis come down
tn the personal equation. How does
it affect one? What is my relation
ship to this or that reform or reformer +:
l am for the Progressive party be
cause il is a party organized for re-
form. its leaders are proved reform ers
of the practical sort; they have writ
ten their deeds in the public records
of state and nation.
Having been a reformer for thirts
years Z a land reformer and an op-
ponent of all special privilege), 1 have
supported the man who at the moment
represented some vital principle of pro-
gression. l campaigned for Cleveland
il the days when we believed he was
about to advance the cause of the pep
Pile I supported Bryan when he stood
for the rights of the many against
Tie demands of the few, and l advo-
Gated the reelection of Theodore Roose-
Welt
Now. when a party organized 10 ig-
more sectional lines, knowing no South
and no North, no East and no West, is
formed. a party with a definite con-
tract with the people, l would be false
to my thirty years of reform speaking g
and writing if l did not instantly throw
all influence for its leaders.
With the platform as a whole, I am
single heartedly in accord. Its human
itarian spirit. its demand for the pop
Ular rule its demand for righteous
business and its defiance of selfish and
cruel finance. its reassertion of the
conservation pOlicy-all those great
principles are put forth in language
that cannot be mistaken. They are
stated in terms which will enable the
humblest man to bring an indictment
sainst his leaders, if these promises
are not carried out.
The wording of this platform is not
