SHORT SESSION OF CURT
LIKELY.

ljp to the time Of going to press
the Court Doekets are rather short
and particularly the criminal docket
FIR which there is general satisfaction
and the people of our county de-
served TO be congratulated. A short
criminal docket show that the con-
duions in cur county are good and
or people are law abiding aud peace
full citizens.
The grand jury will be drawn on
Monday and what he results and
deliberations u that boly may be is
conjecture but from the present
outlook there will lot be the same
amount Of work before them as
usual.
The Grand Jury Of course will as
is their duty investigate thoroughly
all The matters that come before it
but that body can be helped in a
great measure by the people. No
petty personal and trivial matters
should be brought before them which
il is no, in their province 70 handle
but tends only to retard them in the
prompt performance Of their duties
BY the proper aid and assistance Of
those who ale interested solely and
only 10 the welfare Of the county the
grand jury can perform its duties
speedily ard well ard without diff
ficulty.
One thing i to be hoped that the
incoming Grand Jun, will be able to
do and that is TO report 70 tbs Conrl
that our County Fathe's has heeded
the recommendation Of several for
mer grand juries in making improve
ments to which their attention has
been called in the Jail and Court
House. Willie the dockets are ar
parently short the people Of The
county can aid the Court in many
ways. The shorter the session q
Colrt the mory the tax payers ars
saved so that all those who have any
Connection in any manner with tb'
work Of the Court should bear thi
in mind.

According to the preliminary esti-
mate Of the 1913 corn crop, given
ont by The Agricultural Department
on Monday, the farmers Of the coun-
try have before them the paradoxical
promise Of a corn yield that will be
500,000,e0o less than that Of last
year, bat which will possess a none
tary value $220,s99,0O0 greater than
the record breaking crop Of the pre-
vious year. The corn yield for 1918
will be considerably below The three
billion bushel mark, but close to twu
and Ia { billions Of BUSHELS. There
will prob bly, be at least 100000
bushels for export The November
report indicates that the damage BY
druuts ia the Central West was nc
hing like % disasirVuse as the sep
TENDER ana October estimates allow
ed for.
A most significant demonstration
mas been made through experiments
in corn growing M in North Dakota
during the past season. 1t has been
proved that The com bolt is as wide
AZ the United States and probably
wider. Corr has for long been re-
garded as a. hot-climaie plant, and
not adapted TO the short Summers d
the far north. But 600 North Dakota
boys planted corn early last June in
a prize competition contest. The
winner raised 1906 bushels 10 the
acre and the ayera yield obtained
was 81 bushels to the acre.
Corn will actually mature 10 sine'
ty days and there is a wide bit o.
Canada that has ninety-day sum
mer. Com is the main money crol
Of the American farmer, exceeding
IN aggregate value the cotton crol
| by more than round billion Of dol
lars.-Amerieau.

reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused oy an infiamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is in.
ilamed you have a rambling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when It is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inaamed condition o. the mucous sur

Judging from Colonel Goethais'
latest figures, the Panama Canal viii
be finished for some s35,00u,000 on
$40,O00,000 less than the estimate Of
s375,000,00o II the I'D had been
let to private contractors or politics
had been allowed to creep in and get
hold, does anyone believe it would
have been built within the estimate ?
Would not the cost more likely have
been great many millions more ?

Yes. the Maryland Independent
was held back the week before the
election but not ''designedly to twist
or extort'' anything as the Editor Of
the Crescent would have people be-

that we knew would emanate from
that paper and thereby deceive the
good and well thinking people ii tins

one thing il says about tie record Of
the republicans when it comes 30 a

election. The Independent neither
