never believe there are SO many interest

you would come to our school and look
at one real close.
We eat our corn! We take roasting ears
and cook them and serve them for lunch.
And we talk about how corn is used, how
human beings eat 1t and how livestock
eats 1t, and how the grain Is used and
how sometimes we cut it all up together
for fodder.
The corn is ripe. The leaves die. We
gather 1t. We shell some of 1T and We
make an Indian mill out OF two smooth
stones and grind some Of it and make
ash cakes, just as the Indians did before
Columbus came. We read all about how
corn was first used by white men, and
how it was the principal food at the first
THANKSGIVING dinner when the colonists
had SO very little to be thankful for.
And we also read Winters Corn Song

ENGLISH COAL MINER
HAS REMARKABLE MIND
Can Repeat Whole Chapters From
Books After Hearing Them
Read Once.

From tie New York Sun.
LONDON. July IA Northumberland
quarry miner, George Harbottle by
name. has been the subject Of many
tests lately. and he has been proved
to be In possession of a memory which
retains an indelible impression Of every
thing which he hears or reads.
He can repeat half dozen pages of a
book without the omission or misplace
ing of a single word after he has once
heard or read them. He is also able
to repeat long lists Of words backward
or forward after they have been read
out to him. For a wager recently he
read once through a whole pamphlet
of street songs. task that occupied
twenty minutes. and then repeated the
whole from beginning to end without
a mistake.
His gift. though now regarded as
wonderful, would have been regarded
as an ordinary accomplishment in olden
times when men We're accustomed to
train and exercise their powers and
gifts of memory. This was particular
~ the case with the priests OF the diff
ferent religious systems. as in the ma
jority of instances the contents of the
sacred books were not permitted to be
committed in writing.
Thus. the Vedas Talmud and other
saci ed writings were preserved mainly by
committing them to memory. Apart
from these, however, there are many au-
thenticated cases on record of people in
all classes and postions-kings, states
men. soldiers. artists and others-who
had remarkably trained natural powers
Of memory.

for three reasons-to loosen the soil, so
that the corn can get its food and drink;
to keep a dust mulch, SO that the water
will not all evaporate. and to kill the
weeds and grass that otherwise would
steal the food and water from our corn.
Then we find that weeds are of some

no weeds, he might not take the trouble

Our corn is In bloom. 1t has flowers.
We find out that the tassel is one part OF
the flower and that the silk Is another
part. and that without both parts there
will be no corn. There is yellow dust on
the tassel, pollen, the teacher tells US.
And a grain of that must fall on every.
single, tiny silk to make single grain
Of corn.
We cut the silk off one ear, and We
tie it up In a hard ball on another. Later
when the grains are filed and the corn is

where We cut off the silk there are no
grains, and where We tied it up there are
only a few. And every little grain has. j

ION TO MILES CITY"


Next Monday, February 18th,
the Trail Blazers" of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, and
Montana who are interested in
completing the great auto high
way that is to connect the Twin
Cities with Yellowstone, will hold
@heir first interstate meeting at
Miles City where they will effect
permanent organization and de-
velope their plans to legalize this
route and to complete the gaps
and improve the road so that it
will bein shape for tourists dur
ing the coming season.
While there have been good road
meetings held all over the North
west for several years, this is the
first meeting of an association
with a specific and definice plan
for actually securing results.
1t is not the purpose of the or
G anization to finance the high :
way, but rather to establish rou-
te over existing roads, have it le-
gally recognized as an interstate
highway and concentrate the ef-
forts of each community through
it passes on improving and main
tanning it.
The association will establish
guide posts so that travellers may
not go astray and the new high
way will be routed by the Amerl-
can Automobile Association.
Reports from the Twin Cities,
Aberdeen. Billings, and Livings-
ton and many other:places along
this proposed highway indicate
that there will be a good crowd
there on that day and Miles City
is prepared to entertain them
