SETBACK FOR THE oPTlMlST
According to Pessimist. He Hao Failed Utterly 10 See Things in
 Their Proper Light

Look al this. will you?" exclaimed the cheerful real estate man, Tn this paper there is record Of eighty seven marriage licenses issued yes terday."
 Well. what of it?" said his part ner. the pessfmist of the firm.
 What of it2r echoed the other. Cant you see9 Those eighty-seven marriage licenses mean eighty-seven marriages The eighty-seven mar riages will lead to eighty-seven In. quiries for houses. flats. or at least eligible apartments. It's bound to stimulate business in our line and we'll get our share.
 That doesn't follow at all. Those eighty-seven licenses represent 174 persons, don't they?"
 Yes"
 Probably all adultss"
 Undoubtedly What of itT"
 Nothing. growled the pessimist; except that 174 persons who have hitherto occupied 174 apartments will hereafter occupy eighty seven. and that ain't helping our business any. You make me tired"

Fossils in Profusion.

Dr. Robert Broom of London, In recent lecture, says the oldest known fossils are 1S,000,000 years old. Wait, please-it isn't necessary to inquire too closely into the sons on which Dr. Broom bases his belief in this matter. nor to kick up any dispute about the question. But it is safe to say that in every town and com munity, there are fossils far from 1S.- 100000 years old They are persons who walk about and hold converse with their neighbors and are hope lesslv out of touch with affairs. They are opposed to everything that savers of either newness or action. They have tired of activity. Yet they per sist in hanging around on the out skirts of activity. What is to be done with them? Oh. the natural way is to get huffy and to call them fossils, boneheads and all that sort of thing But there is another way to dispose of them. Let them have their say. Then exercise the function of forget. fitness and let the chariot roll on.-- Detroit Free Press.

AUTUMN IS THE
PROPER TINE
FOR REPAIRING
For a Profitable Corn Crop In
stead of Spring, Says Fed
eraI Department.

I WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept. TO-
Autumn is the time to prepare for a
profitable corn crop the following
season. At this time the seed is most
abundant and the very best can be
obtain seed corn is from fields on his
way reduced in vitality. Many let
the opportunity pass, expecting to
purchase their seed corn in the
spring. but the Department of Agri-
cultures specialist in charge of corn
Investigations advises that the au-
tumn is the best time to select good
seed.
The best place for. the farmer 70
obtain sed corn is from fields on his
own farm. or in his neighborhood,
that were planted with variety
which has generally proved most
successful in that locality. OF course
il community has an experienced
and honest corn Breeder on whom 1T
may rely. the seed corn may be OBJ
tanned from him.
The corn breeder who has demon
strated year after year the superior
ity of his corn will demand a special
price for his superior seed. Such
corn breeders are improving corn as
cattle breeders have improved cattle.
He has used special methods that
farmers generally have not time to
apply. Five dollars bushel is not
too much to pay and will be profit
able bargain for both parties.
What Constitutes Good Seed.
BY far too many consider seed good
simply because it will grow. To be
first class seed corn must be-
1.-We1l adapted to the seasonal
and soil conditions where it is to be
planted.
Grown on productive plants Of
productive variety
3.-Well matured. and preserved
from ripening time till planting time
in manner that will retain It's full
vigor.
Tho Importance OF the three re-
quirements Just enumerated has
been demonstrated experimentally
by the Departments Office of Corn
Investigations. The results given
briefly, as enumerated. are as fol-
lows:
1.-F'or a series of five years. 2
well-bred varieties were tested in ten
northern states. equivalent lots OF
seed being used In each state. Vari-.
cites that produced most in some
states were among the poorest IN
others:
Seed ears taken from the.
highest yielding rows OF ear-to-row
breeding plats have repeatedly pro-
duccd better than seed ears taken
from poorer yielding rows. Seed
ears from the best producing stalks
found in a general field produced
more than seed ears taken without

for the building ordering aditionai
lumber, and setting out to buiId over
more ground than was at first
thought necessary. And there are
many who do not believe the struc-
ture now planned will be sufficiently
large to receive all who will come to
these services. Cottage prayermeet-
ings were held all over the city and
in every suburb last night, and sur
prising interest is shown by the at
tendance so far as reports have been
received.
Local merchants are being asked
by their clerks to extend the time
during which stores close at s
o'clock. The majority of merchants
have been closing their stores at 81
each evening, save Saturdays, since
early in June. TneJ signed an agree
ment to that effect, but the time for
which they signed will expire Sep
TENDER 10. Now 1t is desired to have
an extension of time granted to cover
at least the time OF the Hamilton
meetings. and it Is quite probable
that the merchants will hold a meet
ing and cheerfully grant the request
of the clerks.

Gently.
Mr.. Wilson had made a long drive
and the ball whizzed uncomfortable
close to the ear of a young Washing.
ton attorney, who was paying ahead
OF the president. The startled player
used some emphatic language in ex
pressing his opinion of this careless
ness.
Unaware of the identity of the man
ne had "cussed," he was astounded
on turning to recognize in him the
president Of the United States.
Mr. Wilson was deeply offended and
without another word bundled up his
golf clubs and left the links, his game
unfinished. The member Of the club
who offended him has written a letter
OF apology.
