Harmony Dinner.
G. o. P. Reunion Not Possible Until

Special Correspondence Of The Star.


BALTIMORE, Nd. December Is, 1913.
The harmony dinner at Cumberland.
which was attended by the Governor of
Maryland and other high lights within
the republican party. developed one fact.
That fact is that the bull moose leaders,
who amalgamated with the republicans
just before the last state election, are
welded to Theodore Roosevelt as the
next nominee of the republican party for
the presidency
This was made plain today in a state
ment issued by Col. Edward C. Caring
ton. the state Roosevelt leader in the
campaign of 1912. Col. Darlington holds
that the old republican party will not be
able to win, either locally or nationally.
until such time as Roosevelt is acknowl-
edged the leader of the party and al
lowed to write its platform, and. INCL
dentally. to be the party nominee.
THE reunion of the republican party
said Col. Darlington, sis not complete

the party as the result of the republican
convention in 1912 has been settled right.

Republican leaders are now wondering
if Darlington had authority to speak for
all the former progressives who have re-
turned to the republican fold, and they
are anxious to learn whether the stand

to come back into the progressive camp

PITTSBURGH, December 13.-From un-
der the weight of modern Amazon to

was great relief last night for Thomas
Kearney. who gave his address as 49,
Hatfield street.
Not until two policemen arrived would

weighing 800 pounds, consent to release
him.
"Oh. Lord. gasped kearney. himself

captor it was safe to let him up, and
she slowly arose from her sitting posi-
ton atop of Kearney's chest. 1t was
several minutes before Kearney could
get his breath, as he explained to the
officers. in order to make the trip to the
station house.
Kearney Grabs at Purse.
Mrs Smith was stroIling along Hatfield
street on her way home, at 10 O'Clock,
swinging a mesh bag in her hand. kear-
ney jumped from a doorway, she says
and grabbed her purse.
Have a care warned Mrs. Smith,
but kearney needed not He laughe ed
aloud at the woman's bravery and grab
bed again, she says, this time wrestling
the bag from her hand.
kearney started to run. but Mrs. Smith
tackled him with the skill of an all-Amer-
lean foot baller. and the two went to the
sidewalk in heap. Mrs. Smith quickly
extricated herself and climbing on top OF
the chest of the PROSTATE man sat there
on, the while shouting at the top of her
voice for the police. Kearney struggled
to get free He might as we'll have tried
to get out of his grave.
An Acknowledged Fact.
Mrs Smith is a woman of much avoir-
dupois. She ceased her cries long enough
to assure her assailant that he had
nothing on her" kearney gaspingly ad-
nitted it was the other way.
The usual length of time that it re-
quires the police to answer an emergency
call was not of so much concern to Mrs.
Smith as il was to Kearney.
Thank Heaven" sighed Kearney. when
Officers Leibold and Reilly finally hove
into sight. They rescued him and turned
him over to the police surgeon for repairs.

Circuit Court In Session.

Judge John T. Moore arrived Sun
day evening from his home at Ozark
| and proceeded to convene circuit
court Monday morning. There was
pretty good docket to work on, and
the court has been enjoying pretty
steady grind Of business since. One
rather unusual feature of this term be-
ing that up 10 Thursday noon there
had not been single case tried by a
jury, but this afternoon the damage
case Of Stinson VS.. Baldwin was on trial
before a jury. Some OF the cases
were reset for an adjourned term, to
be held on the Second Monday in
June, when the court will again con.
vene at this place.

perhaps be the medium yellow, or the
Mammoth, and where it is desired to
run the pigs or sheep in the field the
Mongol or Sable would be better.
Try small field Of medium land, put
ting two grains Of corn and three Mon
gol soy beans to each hill. When you
lay by the corn drill three rows Of New
Era COW peas between the rows. About
corn cutting time turn lambs or shoats
or both into the field, first feeding soy
beans and COW peas over the fence for
a day or two till the stock learn to eat
them. Fatten hogs and sheep or
hogs only on the corn, or hog down"
the patch, then try the same field to
corn or any other crop the next season
and note results. You can by this
process raise very few weeds, grow
more feed, and your stock can harvest
the crop for you and scatter their own
manure.
The peas sown as indicated take
about one'third bushel per acre, and
Of soy beans about one gallon per
acre. Such processes will build up
your soil much faster than you can do
it with the clovers. A trial will con-
vince. Why not also consider grow
ing a few for seed7 When we grow
our own seed we will not so much
notice the high price.

Mems Acre Yield Contest for 1918.

The Mems Acre Yield Contest or
ganized in 1912 proved to be one 0
the most interesting classes Of the 1917
state corn show held in Columbia dur
ing farmers Week, January l3-l7
1918, Practically every one who Wis
tied the show asked TO see the report.
and final scores on the Acre Yield
Mr.. Morris McCauley Of Doniphan
Mo-, won the sweepstakes prize in
the mems acre yield class, with Mr.,
L. F, Cottey of Edna second. The
judges based the awards on practica
bility Of methods, score Of the ten
ear sample, net profit from the acre,
and the yield Of air dry corn.
The mems acre yield contest will
eventually become one Of the largest
classes in the state corn show, for after
pure seed corn is disseminated through
out every part OF the state, the work
will naturally tend towards increasing
the yield per acre by more intensive
methods Of culture. Very few farmers
to-day realize just how hard it is to
produce one hundred bushels of corn
on a measured acre and fewer still
know just how much per bushelit costs
to produce an average crop Of corn.
The Missouri Corn Growers Asso-
citation will award several hundred dol
lars in prizes in the mems acre yield
contest alone this coming year and
every Missouri farmer who is interested
in corn improvement should write to-
day for information regarding this con-
test. Remember there will be sweep
stakes prize valued at $3.50 for the
best acre yield.
For all information regarding this
contest or the boys acre yield contest

Girls will Make Boys Hustle.
In the past the boys enrolled in the
Missouri Boys Corn Growing Contest
have had nice, quiet little time di-
viding up 100000 in prizes at the
state corn show. But this year they
will have the girls to reckon with for
the contest has been opened to both
boys and girls between the ages Of 10
and 20 years. 1t is just as easy for a
girl 10 get a share Of this prize money
as it is for the boys. The girls will
not be required 10 do any OF the actual
work but will be expected to keep all
records and pick their sample Of corn
for the state corn show. OF course
there is no objection 10 girls doing
such parts Of the work as they can do.
There must be at least two girls in
every corn growing county Of Missouri
who are sufficiently interested to get
into this contest and make the boys
hustle. Besides these prizes the

Strange Bronze Dogs.

A the intersection of Columbia road.
= Wyoming avenue and Goth street is
a small triangular reservation, green with
grass and shrubbery. Facing this reser-
walton and fronting on 10th street is a
large buff-brick house. the stone steps at
the entrance to which are kept by two
metal dogs of large stature and un-
familiar breed. They are bronZelike and
coated with green-gray. but ironworkers
make such excellent bronze in these days
that 1t is unsafe to call bronzelke OBJ
ject bronze without the certificate of a
metallurgist or a warrant from an assay
office But, anyhow, for descriptive pur-
poses it is convenient to call these sentry
dogs that stand their post on 10th street
bronze dogs
In the first place these dogs are clipped
from their shoulders to their haunches,
but their tails are shaggy, bushy, tufty.
Their heads are curious. One might say
that these dogs heads were averted. di-
verted, inverted. reverted or perverted.
The heads are turned around, nut not
turned around as dogs in real life do turn
their heads to bite a flea upon their tail
Nearly everybody in Washington has seen
a hound raise his head to bay. Now, If
the hound should continue to elevate his
nose till he pointed at the zenith. or un-
til his nose had described An arc OF 30
degrees, or sixteen hundred miles with
the longitudinal axis of his body. and
then continued to turn the head back
ward, incidentally breaking his neck. till
he had described an arc of nearly $50 de-
down. at his tail, his head would have

bronze dogs.

seems to be palatable to those who have

places constitute a principal article of
diet he will only have to walk to the
National Museum and stand before a
glass case on which Is inscribed the
legend that this group forms one OF
series designed to set forth the dwell
ings and home life Of native tribes of the
western hemisphere.
In the case is a representation on a re-
duced scale of an Indian village, con-
tanning a communal house. and frame
work covered with boards where the
household arts are carried on. a storage
platform and a granary. Many figures,
principally of women. are engaged in
these household arts and cares. The de-
scriptive card says that the exhibit rep
resents village Of Digger Indians: that
these so-called "Diggers" are of the
Pullman and the Moquelumnan family:
that they occupy an extensive area In
eastern California, and that they re-
ceived the name digger lndians' from
their use of roots in the household arts
The following is copied from the de-
scriptive card:
LAS these people subsist largely on
acorns, great part Of the womans life
is spent in gathering the nuts, carrying
them home in conical baskets suspended
from the forehead, drying and hulling
them, grinding them in stone mortars.

the form Of mush.
The bringing in and the preparation OF
the acorns are shown in miniature, and
for the average paleface who looks on
that is quite enough.
