Found Needle in Child.

Little Marie Carswell, the nine
months old baby of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Carswell, had a peculiar operation
made upon her Thursday morning,
when a needle about an inch and a
half long was removed from her right
side. The doctor discovered the
needle with an X-ray and removed 1t.
The needle was rusty and 1t is not
known how long it has been in the
little girl. The parents have no idea
how the needle got into the little one,
or how long it has been there, and
only SUSPECTED something was wrong
by noticing pimple just above the
needle.-Aiken Journal and Review.

MEDIATION 4 FAILURE.
American Delegates Become Discour-
aged-May End Friday.

Niagara Falls, June 16.-Justice
Lamar and Frederick ". Lehman,
the American delegates to the media
ton conference, went to Buffalo to-
night and talkel for four hours with
Rafael Zubaran and Luis Cabrera,
personal representatives Of Gen. Car
rama. Their purpose was to tlnd
some way to bring the Constitution
alists in harmony with the scope of
mediation. The mission was a fail
ure
The Constitutionalists representa-
tives told them why they could not
agree to an armistice; why only a
man prominent in the Constitutional
ist rank could be accepted by them
for the provisional presidency and
finally they said they believed the
Constitutionalist army would settle
the Mexico problem soon if left un-
hampered by foreign complications.
The Americans returned to Niagara
Falls feeling that so far as the politl-
cal pacifcation of Mexico is concern
ed mediation had accomplished moth
ing and probably the end of the con-
ferences was very near.
The next full conference is set for
Friday. Most of the principals here
incline to the view that Fridays seS-
sion may be the last. The three me-
dating plenipotentiaries virtually
have abandoned hope Of solving Mex
lean problems and the Huerta dele
gates are resolute in their determina-
ton not to accept a COnstltutlOnallst
partisan for the provisional presi-
dency.
Dispatches Of the forcible seizure
by an official of Gen. Villa of the tele-
graph Office at Juarez. held previous
ly by Carranza officials, created stir
in the mediation colony. The Huerta
delegates said it showed plainly the
correctness of their repeated warn
ings that lack of cohesion in the
Constitutionalist ranks would lead
to anarchy in the north.
incidentally it is understood the
American delegates inquired OF Ca
brera and Zubaran what they thought
of the stories of split between Villa
and Carranza. The Constitutionallst
emissaries said they had confidence in
Gen. Carranzas tact and ability to
smooth over such differences.
The gravest apprehension, never
theless, is felt here of what may fol-
low a break between Carranza and
Villa. Should their forces clash, a
condition of anarchy might ensue,
which. in all probability, would
arouse agitation and demand for arm
ed intervention by the United States.

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Shortly before the

SECOND ANNUAL CORN
CONTEST FOR State

Corn is the country's greatest crop.
1t has an important place in the best
types Of farming, and is receiving
more attention in North Dakota every
year. The yearly increase in corn pro-
duction in this state is surprising.
Last years crop was more than double
that of 1910 both m average and pro.
duction. Nevertheless, this means
that there was an average Of only
about five acres of corn grown on the
average North Dakota farm Of $50
acres. Several times this acreage
should be grown on every farm. 1t
has been demonstrated that all Sec
tions of the state can produce mature
corn profitably, and it is a question
of only short time before it will be-
come one Of our staple food crops.
Wider knowledge of the proper meth
DDS of production and utilization OF
the crop are bringing this about. 1t
is hardly probable that commercial
corn growing will be developed, but
corn will be grown to sufficient ex-
tent for the home feeding Of the live
stock necessary fol she most profitable
management Of our farms.
The importance of the crop cannot
be over-estimated. 1t is essential K
the most desirable systems Of croI
rotation. The potential value Of tn.
crop is materially increased because
Of the fact that through the thorough
cultivation which is necessary in grow
ing corn, the soil "a put in good con
dition and the weeds destroyed an.
kept in check, thus giving the an
good preparation 1or the grain crop
which follow. Then in addition, labo
is utilized on this crop when IL is no
required in the production Of the small
grains. This makes it possible to dis
tribute the farm labor to greater I'd
vantage throughout the year.
> In the production Of the corn croI
it is essential that varieties shall b
planted which are suitable to the sec
tion Of the state where grown IN
