Happy Corn Growers of Ohio

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Nearly
1000 boys and girls will spend the
present week touring the East, cele-
brating their victory as champion till
ers of Ohio soil. They are prize win
ners in the corn growing contest which
was conducted during the past sum-
mer. They won the trip as prize for
excellence.
Few farm movements of recent
years have attracted the general at
tention that has been shown this corn
growing contest in Ohio. 1t has been
mere pastime for the boys and girls
to raise so much corn per acre that
the state average yield seemed puny
and unworthy. Started as one of the
means for interesting young people in
scientific agriculture, the movement
has swept the state in way that has
surprised those who engineered 1t, and
has attracted the attention Of thought
full economists of the country.
1t is not a back to the farm move
ment: it is a stay on the farm and be
happy and successful movement. 1t
wins in all directions. 1t has demon
strated soil capacity and soil posslbll-
ity as no other movement has ever
done. 1t has shown the young and the
old man the sound wisdom of farming
fewer acres and farming them better.
1t has shown how one acre cared for
properly repays the labor with three
times the normal yield. 1t is the most
comprehensive illustration of the wis
dom of intensive farming Ohio has
ever seen.
Not only is it interesting the young
men and women in proper soil cultiva-
ton, but the idea has been communi-
Gated to the adult farmer. Many farm
ers are unwilling that their son or
daughter on first effort should run
away with their best work. The whole
state has felt the impetus and shared
in the benefit.
In point of advertising it has been
the biggest thing the state has done
in a score of years. Every farm pa
per in the country has told the story
over and over. 1t has gone into mil
lions of homes. And the boys and
girls on their tour this week in half
dozen large cities will carry the Cos
pei of intensive farming in Ohio. They
deserve the most delightful week of
their lives

Origin and Growth of Cafeteria

California English is attracting the
attention of philologists in the east,
the origin of numerous words in cur
rent use on the Pacific coast and prac-
tically unknown in the eastern states
coming in for profound discussion.
Cafeteria" is the latest bonne bunche
for the philologic palate which is as
serted to be of California growth. A
writer in the Nation thinks the word
is probably formed on the model of
the Italian osteria, an inn or hos
telry, and connected with Italian caf-
fettiera or Spanish cafetera, a coffee
pot. 1t signifies lunch room of good
repute, capable of seating about 200
guests, where everybody has to help

The World Cost of Living

Cincinnati Enquirer: Canada'S in
habitants soon discovered after our
duties were taken off or lowered upon
food supplies that her productions of
that class were swept at once by
shrewd dealers to the higher priced
markets of the United States.
If our prices ON such commodities
show no decline the prices in Canada
have gone very much higher, and both
liberal and conservative leaders in the
Dominion are now trying to help the
Canadians out of the predicament by
suggesting that Canada also shall take
the duties off food supplies.
But with the duties off where will
the supplies come from that will re-
duce the prices to the consumers?
We in the United States have the
world now to draw from with our low
cred duties on many classes of food
supplies and free of duty on others,
the most important classes, and yet
the declines are not in evidence to any
extent.
Great Britain has suddenly become
alarmed lest sufficient of the meat
production of Argentina, Australia
and New Zealand be diverted to our
country to materially advance the
prices upon that brought to Europe.
Norway, Sweden, Holland and Den
mark expect to receive higher prices
for the dairy products that leave
their shores now that the markets of
the United States are open to them.
and their customers in Great Britain,
France and Germany will have to pay
advances on their quotas by reason of
our lowered customs.
1t is an entirely unexpected and un-
suspected development of internation-
al trade.
Our lowered duties on these neces-
stiles of life have not brought down
the prices to our own people, but it
would seem they have raised prices
of such articles throughout other
countries of the world.
The latter is not to be thought of.
1t must go into the discard at once,
for mankind requires far greater sup
plies of food if all the populations are
to be fully supplied with actual neces-
sites in the way of food.
Hundreds of millions of people in
Asia. Africa. South and Central
America and Mexico are at all times
on the verge of starvation, and lesser
production of food supplies is not to
be considered for a moment.
1t is call to the agricultural
classes, this high cost of living; it is
a powerful argument for the improve
ment of agricultural methods, the sys
tematic aiding of the farmers, the ex-
tension of financial systems to make
it possible for more people to enter
unon the work of cultivating the soil.

Twin Singers With Twin Voices

In the Interesting People depart
ment of the December American Mag
azine appears on article about Mary
and Marie Mcfarland, twin sisters
who. are well known singers. These
sisters not only look alike but their
voices are alike. Unless you can see
singing and the other begins. Follow
ing is an extract from the article:
1T happens sometimes by some freak
Of nature that twins have the same
features, but it doesn't happen once in
a blue moon that two persons have the
same singing voice Nothing about
human being is more uniquely his own
than his voice. Yet here are twins,
famous concert and operatic singers,
whose voice are Identical in range,
tone, and even in timbre. Such a
miracle, they say, happens about once
in a century. This time it has hap
pened to pair of young American
women, who have the same name, the
same bright faces and wavy hair, and
the same beautiful coloratura soprano
voice.
"The twins are Mary and Marie Nc
Farland, They were born at Leaven-
worth, Kansas; but while they were
still very young their father, Colonel
Austin Mcfarland, an official of the
passenger department of the Denver u
Rio Grande Railroad, moved his family
to Denver. Their husical talent was
an inheritance from their mother, who
was singer, and it showed itself
early. At the age of seven their abil-
itv was noted and no concert of local
talent in Denver was complete without
the twins.
"Abroad they have sung much in
grand opera, but their debut in Amer
ica last year was in vaudeville. Marie

a multitude of expenses. Living is

keep up appearances; $4,000 is not
excessive for this one item alone;
$4,000 must go to coaches and accom-

and $1,000 will have to be distributed
around the opera house to the members
of the working staff. Another $1,000

The WAY II Became Dixie

New York Tribune: Where the
southern states and the famous south
ern song derived the title Dixie" is
told in the history Of the Citizens
Bank of New Orleans, which the Lon
don Financial Times gives. Prior to
the civil war the bank, which had
power to issue paper notes, put out
several millions of dollars in denom-
nations of $40 and $50. The $40
bills were engraved in French, with
the word "dix" (ten) prominently fea-
tured on the back. The bills became
known as "dixies," and this money
becoming popular, Louisiana became
known as "the land of dixies," and at
last the term was so broadened as to
include all the southern states under
the familiar "Dixie Land"

dian of all its funds, has disappeared
with his accounts about Sl5O,OOo out
of balance and with moneys estlmat-
ed at from $4,000 to $4,000 in his
possession, it is alleged. Discrepan-
cies in accounts date back to June,
1911, and cash carried with him was
obtained from local banks on checks
signed by James G. Oakley, presl-
dent of the department, it is charged.
Warrant for Lacy's arrest has been
issued and a reward of $1,000 OF
fered by Gov. O'Neal. Lacy was last
seen in Montgomery about l O'Clock

had turned over two checks, alleged
to be worthless, amounting to S117,-
600, to Dan G. Trawick, first assist
ant clerk of the convict department.
What was regarded as proof OF the
shortage was obtained this morning
by State Examiner Brooke when de-
posit books were taken from Lacy
desk. First direct evidence of dis
crepancies was found "Wednesday

to show duplicates of cotton bills
