what Jack thinks she is, l would
not have her hurt as you would
hurt her by taking Harry Symone
around to the stage door and ask

show supper. She would prob
ably accept, whatever she is,

She Goes From Tacoma Into
Far North to Collect Great
Set of Curios for the Fair

Mrs. Mary 4. Hart, sister-in-l law
Of Lieut.. Governor Louis #. Hart,
who left Tacoma recently for
Alaska, has found a novel occu-
patton that no woman has ever
before attempted.
And it is highly remunera-
tive one, too.
Mrs. Hart is on her way to the
northernmost parts of the globe,
where she will hire a staff of Es-
kimo totem-pole makers, blanket
makers. and Indian basket weav-
ers. She will set them all to
work in some Alaska village. and
their duty will be to make as
many novel curios of Alaska as
their remarkable minds can con-
ceive.
The results of the Eskimo labor
will be placed in a mammoth ex-
hibition booth at the Panama-Pa-
cific Exposition. 1t will be the
exhibit of the Alaska Cruise club.
and 1t Is expected to be the most
complete collection of Alaskan
novelties ever gathered together.
Mrs. Hart has also made good
as an Alaska miner. She knows
Alaska probably as no other wo-
man does, and she has made many
friends in Tacoma recently by her
Interesting lectures before the
women's clubs of the city regard
ing the northern territory.
Mrs. Hart went to Alaska in
1900 and got out on the beach and
shoveled sand into long Tom"

pectors.

saint in the agricultural world, has not
been considered worth while out here.
You tell an Iowa or an Illinois or
Missouri farmer that corn is not good
crop in any new country, and the
chances are that he will not be interest
ed in even 100-bushel oats, or 500-bushel
potatoes, or 8-ton alfalfa; it's corn or
nothing with him. Now that careful
seed selection and cultivation proves
that corn is really good crop here, the
state can go back to the good farmers
of these prosperous states, and invite
them out to the fertile corn lands of
Idaho with golden prospect of landing
them
The suggestion is made that those
who try to raise corn, will want to be
careful and not drown it out with over
irrigation. Corn is not web-footed, nor
does it wear rubber boots to keep its
feet dry and free from Rheumatism;
and you don't want to drown it by being
to generous with water Good culti-
walton and about one-half as much
water as you think it ought to have,
should be about right.

The farmers of the Richfield tract
who wish to try patch of corn for the
coming season, should at once see W.
S. Parkhurst, who through the Farm
ers' Society of Equity has located a fine
lot of Idaho grown seed corn that should
produce crops in this section. 1t is
dent corn, not the flint corn to which
many object because of their unfamil-
iarity with its appearance and peculiar
tiles. Grown in Idaho, it should be ac-
climated to the short frostless season,
and should make most valuable addi-
tion to the list of paying crops for this
section.
Idaho secured the top prizes in the
Western division, in the great interna-
tional corn show at Dallas, winning
over all the other coast and mountain
states by wide margin Of points 1t

WHEN FARMERS ARE BANKERS.

Foynes, County Limerick, Ireland
We have just been in the presence OF
the best board of bankers that we ever
saw. They are all what the Wall
street clerk would call "rubes;" they
are "hay-seeds." They are farmers
who, as you know, must not be con-
fused with agriculturists When we
think of American banks and bankers
we think of the buildings which have
the finest fronts in town and of the
men who also put up the finest fronts.
We think of shrewd tellers VINO never
tell anything; Of cashiers who are
constantly upon the point of refusing
cash to those who need it most; OF
boards of directors who sit in softly
carpeted rooms on upholstered chairs,
around polished Circassian walnut
tables. The Irish bankers we have
just seen wore mud-bespattered
CLOTHES. They sat in pine fioored
ROOM on rough chairs, around a rough
table upon which smoking, smelling
kerosene lamp cast dim light that

Business Before History.
In our search for all that is good in
rural organization, we landed last
night in Limerick. Limerick is
mighty interesting city, founded by
the Danes thousand years ago;
city which Cromwells forces could not
enter until the plague and starvation
had conquered the defenders who
could not be conquered by the sword;
a city which in 1890 withstood
