TEST YOUR SEED CORN
The Leader is Informed That Corn Ex-
perts at Mitchell Regard Much OF
Last Years Crop Unfit for Seed

without first class seed when planting
time m around. Don't put this
matter of too long. The corn crop
of Lincoln county represents a great
deal of money and We all know what
a poor crop represents. With ground
we'll prepared and with good seed and
thorough cultivation every acre of
good land in this county ought to
yield 60 bushels to the acre, and the
question Of increased yield Is getting
to be q very important ne. A farmer
who gives his farm work proper con
Slderation can raise so or &c bushels
OF cora to :he acre just as easily Is he
can raise 40 or so. it requires NJ
nor work. 1t costs just as much to
cultivate an empty Hill as it dues a
hill with three or four ear bearing
stalks. and every empty hin is SO
much loss.
The LEADER hopes every farmer ia
the county will try this year to raise
acre than formerly, and such II result
would certainly Justify the effort.
The pure seed agitation SO long anu
earnestly urged by the LEADRR has
resulted In raising from 10 to Is bush
els more to the acr than formerly.
and of a better variety. Let our
farmers continue the good work.
Every acre ought to be made to pro
duce the limit and careful prepare
tion and study of conditions will do
it.

On next Saturday at one O'Clock the
big steam whistle OF the knoWlton
Manufacturing Co. will announce that
the machinery OF the big plant Is In
position and belted up ready for work.
The whistle will blow at one o'clock
to give notice to all that the formal
opening OF the plant will take place
at 2:3O, when several speakers and the
band will be present to take part In a
celebration OF this important event.
The speakers who have been invit-
ed are A. r. Brown, Judge Kennedy,
o. 8. Clifford and Henry Bradshaw OF
Worthing. The band will form at
the band stand and after q few num-
sbers will march down Main street to
the machinery building where the
speaking will take place.
This building Is a block In length
with q cement floor and a suitable
place for all to hear the speakers as
we'll as inspect the machinery In oper-
alton, and it can be said as an abso-
lute truth that there Is no better gas
engine machinery in the United
States. The Knowlton plant Is con-
structed on the latest designs for
convenience, speed and efficiency,
with every modern devise that will
Aid In rapid and perfect work. The
machinery is all automatic and SELF
oiling, and the foundry building is as
perfect In detail as modern progress
can provide for rapid and perfect
work.
There may be larger gas engine
manufacturing plants In the country,
but the LEADER Is In a position TO
state that there is not a more perfect
" equipped plant in the United

La Toilette All Right.

They declared over at Sioux Falls
Ia fayOr OKLA Toilette as their sirst
choice, and then they tackled on Col
Onel Roosevelt as their second choice;
But won't this make another colonel
sQuirm, though?-Col. Arthur Linn
Of Canton. Vermillion Republican.
No, Brother, there is no 'ssquirm'
here. We are satisfied with Senator
II Toilette, and II he can win the
nomination and election the country
will have no reason to regret his Ele-
vation. Senator Cummins would also
suit us, and II he can win the nomin-
alton and election, his promotion
would b very satisfactory 20 the peo-
pie, but the LnADER has been OF the
opIhion for two years that Colonel
Roosevelt Ii the only man who can
units tho republican factions and win
IaGlsat big republican victory, a. II is
quite generally conceded that Presi-
dent Taft can't be reelected II nomtn-

Gas Engine Factory Opening
This Most Important Event in the His
tory Of Canton Will be Duly Cele-
brated With Music and Speeches

States because Mr.. Knowlton has all
the latest inventions. 1t will take
about As men to meet the labor re-
quirements when the machinery starts
up, and the LEADER predicts that In
side of five years the capacity of the
plant will be doubled to meet the
ever increasing demand for the most
handy power yet invented, and the
number Of men required will be over
one hundred. There is no guess work
about this. The past proves what
the future Of the handy little gas en-
CINE will be.
There Is one other important mat
ter to be considered In connection
with the success OF the Knowlton
company, and this refers TO the dura-
bility, simplicity and power of his gas
engine, which we are convinced Is the
best gas engine yet invented. 1t has
less parts, Is perfectly simple. greater
power the size consumes less oil and Is
cheaper in comparison to horse power
than any engine now sold. Mr..
Knowlton has a traction engine which
experts consider the best made, which
will be manufactured by the Knowl-
ton Company.
This is a brief outline of the most
important manufacturing plant in the
state, and the only uptodate gas en-
CINE mandatory in the state.
The citizens of Canton and sur
rounding country are cordially invited
to be present at the formal opening
next Saturday, January p, at 2:3O,
and do honor to the inventive genius
and patriotism OF Jefferson Knowlton,
the man who built the first gas en-
CINE in Lincoln county.

LOYALTY OF HOWARD MEN
Efforts Made to Erect Gymnasium -
Howard universit~.

Efforts Made to Erect Gymnasium q
Howard University.
Washington.-The central gymnasi-
um committee Of the General Alumni
Association of Howard university re-
ports that since the ground breaking
on the proposed site for the new gym
nasium building. at commencement
June 5 last. activities have been re-
ioubled along all lines.
Many Of those who attended the
commencement returned to their fields
of labor with increased enthusiasm for
the extension work of their beloved
university. They have been instru-
mental in securing pledges, and, In
many instances, contributions, to help
swell the $4,000 gymnasium fund now
being raised among the alumni. Plans
are on foot locally for a sweeping
campaign, with the intention Of reach
Ing and enlisting every available
l,ource Of aid. To this end one Of
the prominent ministers Of this city
has rendered an open session Of his
church service for the purpose Of in
teresting his congregation and those
who worship with them in the move
ment for the gymnasium and acquaint
ting them with the beneficial effects
It is likely to have.
At this service President 8. M. New.
man, the new head Of Howard uni.
versity, is to be invited, with the uni.
versity choir and representative from
the gymnasium committee, who will
present the cause. The collection
from this service is to be donated to
the gymnasium In the name Of the
church. Several other churches are
planning a similar service, and It Is
believed that the effort will be made
general in order to give every element
in Washington's religious life an op-
portunity to extend helping hand to
this very worthy project.
To date the pledges amount to
about $1,000. with $500 in the hands
Of the treasurer Of the university.
The student pledges numbering 800.
indicating the loyalty Of the students
to the movement), which matured Oct.
1, have been coming In rapidly during
the last two months. Professor Kelly
Miller. chairman Of the committees;
Mr.. Robert A. Pelham, secretary-treas-
urer, and Mr.. Shelby ]. Davidson,
financial agent of the gymnasium COM
mittee, are sanguine Of success.
They hope to be able to announce
in the early part Of January a suf-
icient number Of pledges made and
paid In as will justify them in claim
ing the $4,000 promised by the trus-
tees of the university, making $4,000
(the full amount) available for the
long coveted gymnasium building.
With continued interest and increased
stimulus It is believed that plans and
drawings Of the building may be COM
pleted before the next commencement,
and 1t is hoped the building will be
ready for the cornerstone laying ut that
time.

RICH MATERIALS
ARE SIMPLY MADE.
So Fashion Has Oecreed IN Re-
gard to Seasons Garment.

In speaking of fall and winter suits
the Dry Goods Economist says:
much interest has been shown in
the demi- tailored and dressier models.
A great feature Is made Of the mate
rails of these suits, which are unusual
" handsome. The richness of the
fabric alone Is sufficient to make q suit
attractive: therefore manufacturers
have used trimmings sparingly. In
fact, the deliberately trimmed suit IL
seldom good seller. The most ex-
pensive garments are those made If
rich fabrics with simple trimmings.
"Notable features Of the fancier suits
are the Robespierre. directoire or
Medici collars. These collars are fire.
Quently wired so that they can be
worn high up at the neck or turned
down In the form Of lie down COL
bar, as desired. Some Of the more ex-
treme suits show the wide turned back
directoire cuffs. but the tendency IL
for seton cuff or q simulated cuff
formed by the trimming.
"Much attention has been given to
vests, which are seen on many Of the
suits. Some of these are attached to
the collars and show only in the upper
portion Of the coat: others are cutaway
In front. showing the lower part Of the
waistcoat as well; still others have the
revers turned back and show straight
waistcoat from throat to waist line.
Frequently these vests are only bast-
ed in and can be removed when desir-
I'd. Others are made like separate
vests, thus giving woman an oppor-
tunity Of having two or more for
single suit
'The material Of the waistcoat de-
ponds largely upon the SUIT fabric. For
example. broadcloth, zibelIne. wool We
lours or ratine suits have waistcoats
Of brocaded charmeuse. velvet, plush
or light colored broadcloth, while suits
Of velvet have vests Of either broad
cloth or fancy silk"
