OUR ED"

We were this morning rendered a
check for $3.50 to pay for a political
convention call. This is the first in
stance of anything like II during the
twenty years experience of the Ex-
aminer-Review, and we haven't yet
quite recovered. The check came
from Mr.. E. w. Crenshaw OF Bryan,
who Is chairman OF the Twenty-second
Representative District. Mr.. Cren-
shaw is evidently not acquainted with
the custom prevailing in matters OF
this kind. We not only do not receive
offers to pay for political calls, but we
are expected to publish miles OF
gratuitous stuff of one sort and an
other and the most OF us fall for 1t
without comment. The check was
promptly returned to Mr.. Crenshaw,
though we were very much tempted
10 keep II and frame II as the one big
curio of our sanctum.-Navasota Elk
aminer Review.
The Mr.. E. w. Crenshaw referred
to above is the best known man in
Brazos County and is just plain ED
here at home. However, he is what
we call a real man. Our neighbor at
Navasota is not familiar with such
doings. II you had one or two men
like our Ed in Navasota you would
gradually come to yourself and when
approached by a real gentleman 1t
would not take so long to recover.
Mr.. Crenshaw knows that printers
have to pay their bills and their only
source OF revenue is from their ad-
vertising columns. The only trouble
with our neighbor at Navasota, as we
see II, is that he needs a manager.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY HONORS

Edith VI. Thomas. poet. was born
at Chatham, Ohio. August ~. 1854.
Her life as an author really began
when she was but few years OF age.
Her early efforts had a quality and
merit seldom found in the rhymes
produced by children. While at nor.
NAL school she contributed verses to
various Ohio newspapers. The fresh.
ness OF expression. the buoyant tone,
and the exquisite finish OF her lines
set them in strong contrast with those
produced by most writer's OF the time.
Her works have appeared in various
publications, among them the Atlantic
Monthly and the Century.

When the seed ears have been
husked from the standing stalks, tho
next step Is to properly store them
for winter keeping. Remember that
they must have free circulation OF air
under conditions where the tempera.
ture does not change rapidly. This
is to allow the excess OF moisture TO
evaporate readily and TO prevent the
germ from being weakened, A good
method is TO suspend from the ceiling
or rafters OF well ventilated building
ten or more ears In string, each ear
looped at about the middle on dobue
strand Of binding twlne. Take piece
OF Irvine about ten feet long and
double Il, tying the ends together,
forming a loop. Take one end OF the
loop in the right hand and the other
in the left, and standing erect allow
the loop TO hang down until II just
touches the floor. The end OF the
loop in the left hand should be held
about six inches higher than In the
right. An ear Is then placed across
the strings on the floor and the right
hand and the strings are passed
through between those held in the left
leaving n place in which TO lay the
second ear. This method is continued
until the string is filled. The longer
string Is then looped through the
shorter and the corn is hung up for
the winter.

The seed OF these crops for future

plants from which seed Is selected

ers, yielding.a large amount Of grain.
This also means good drouth resist
ance.
2. They should be early maturing.
This is an important character in dry
regions.
3. The heads should be large. well
filled and compact.
4. The heads should extend well
out OF boot or upper leaf sheath. No
seed is produced on the enclosed por-
ton which often becomes moldy or
rotten II wet weather prevails.
8. The plant should be free from
suckers and branches. Suckers are
usually not profitable producers OF
grain and rob the main plants Of
water and food. They mature later
than the main stalk.
6. Avoid plants with pendant or
hanging heads. They are hard TO
harvest.
When harvested the seed should be
hung up for the winter In a well
ventilated place so that II will not
heat or mold. In sections where wee

A VILLAGE CUT-UP
BY JOHN cHEBLE.

Copyright, 1914. by w. @. Chapman)
Miss Adilah Plumtree, the postmis-

letter In her hand. The letter was
not addressed to her, but It had come
unfastened In the post, and 80 she had
exercised the prerogative which is
generally ascribed to postmistEesses.
It was addressed to Mr.. Charles
Black, and waa signed BY Andrew
Usher. The sentence which was burn.
ing itself into MiBs Plumtree's brain
was rs follows:
Il have told my wife that ! have
been called away on business till Mon

have brought Lily down here for q

little thing you can image, Charley,
and as fast as they make them. For

Miss Adilah read and re-read this
epistle, and then she folded her hands
and uttered calm, benignant, Il told
you so.
Everybody in Four Falls had pro-
phesied what would happen when pref
ty Rose Black married a travelling
man. Charles, her brother, had brought
him to the house. and he had fallen
