HILL SELECTION TO
IMPROVE CORN CROP
Height and Strength of Stalk May
Be Considered as Well as
Ear Itself.
(By A. D. WILSON,

Hill selection of seed is urged by
every institution interested in the I'M
provement of corn. By selecting corn
from the standing stalks in the field
one can consider other things besides
the ear itself The height of the ear
on the stalk and the strength OF the
stalk may both be considered, and
whether or not the ear grew on stalk
that had the whole hill to itself or had
to compete with two or three other
stalks can be determined, while if one
waits until the corn has been cut these
factors cannot be considered.
Early selection Of seed corn from
the hill has many important advan-
tages over selection later in the sea-
son. In the first place, it enables one
to select ears that are known to have
matured at the proper time, while II
the selection is deferred and weather
conditions continue favorable, some OF
the later maturing ears may be Sc
lected, because they are likely to be
larger and heavier.
While the large, heavy ears are de-
sirable, one cannot proftably select
them at the expense of maturity, be-
cause corn that will not mature is
bound to be an Improbable crop.
Early selection from the hill avoids
the danger of the corn being injured
by frost while it Is still damp in the
husk.

LATEST TIPS AS TO STYLE
New Things That Have Been OBJ
served Recently and That Are
of Real Importance.

The cartwheel hat is the very lat
est thing in millinery and offers an
agreeable variety from the eternal
small hat of the summer. The new
cartwheel has wide brim extending
straight out from rather low, conf
cal crown, and both brim and crown
are covered with velvet or silk. These
hats, in black velvet, have huge white
begonias posed against the crown in
front
Creased skirts are an odd whimsey
of fashion this summer. The wide
circular tunics of linen, worn over mar.
row. straight skirts, are ironed in
creases from belt to hem, which gives
the tunic ribbed effect suggestive Of
plating Pussy willow silk tunics al
so take to this creased idea admira-
bly,. TUNES of serge or mohair-
which is very fashionable this season
are harder to crease satisfactorily.
Sheer blouses of white organdie are
made novel and interesting by buttons
of silver or gilt. Naturally such but
tons do not launder successfully, and
they must be rubbed up now and then
to keep them bright and sparkling.
They do not require SO secure sewing
on, however, as the button that is real
ly used for fastening, for the mod
ern blouse or bodice is provided with
concealed snap-fasteners, which are
more easily and quickly manipulated

With the white tailleur worn for

n IBBON departments are gay with
~ every hue and tint and shade Of
color under the sun and with all sorts
Of dainty accessories for womankind,
from babyhood to old age. There are
things purely ornamental and there
are things useful and ornamental.
The latter two qualities combined are
always successful and experience
shows that we cherish love for the
things which are ornamental, whether
they are useful or not.
"A lot Of things have been designed
for the little infant. These include
armlets, that is, little garters for the
sleeves, small rosettes, to be fastened
with the tiniest of safety pins to
baby's dress, and splendid blanket
bows with which the robe or blanket
is decked out Beside these Turkish
ings for the little infant there are any
number of dainty furbelows made for
the tiny girl.
ture, made of pink satin ribbon four
and one-half to five inches wide. 1t
consists of nine loops, each one
knotted at the top. Each loop is about
seven inches deep, after the knot is
tied. They are tackled together at the
center, where the ends are tied with
a single knot. One Of the ends is cut
half the length of the other and both
are trimmed in diagonal line.
The little armlets are made Of a
narrow satin ribbon in either light pink
or blue. They make a very accept
able present for the mother Of the
newly-arrived baby The sleeves. in
the clothes for little infants, are cut
longer than the child's arm in order
to accommodate its rapid growth.
These little armlets hold the sleeves
up and add a charming little decora-
ton to the baby's dress at the same
time. They are made by shirring rib
bon over fiat elastic bands and are
finished with full rosettes made Of
knotted loops of the ribbon. The
loops are each an inch and a half
deep.
When the baby girl has grown old
enough to need something to hold her
hair in place, a hair band like that
shown In the picture marks the be-
ginning of her use Of hair ribbons
This is made, like the armlet, of a
narrow satin ribbon. Ribbons an inch
or a little less in width answer the
purpose better than others.
For the hair band one must meas
ure the little ones head and make a
circlet of fat elastic, just long enough
to hold the hair in place. Half Of this

band, that is, that portion which is to
go over the top of the head, is COW
cred with ribbon shirred on. The re-
mainder is left uncovered, as it goes
under the back hair. At each side,
just above the ears, full rosettes are
made of the ribbon in the same way
as described for the armlets, except
that the loops are about two and
half inches deep.

In the matter of handling hose, Mr..
Boehm saved the city 81 goo. AS soon
as he was appointed chairman of the

1000 feet OF bad hose, which had been
ordered by Thomas p. Reynolds for

AS soon as Mr.. Beehm inspected the
hose he issued an order that the same

After the hose had been in storage
some little time, Mr.. Boehm had It
thoroughly tested with a 250 pound

same and reported his action TO the
city council. The company from

insisted on payment to the extent OF
instituting a suit but Mr.. Boehm stood

POWER OF THE PRESS.

The advantages of the press are
very great and consist chiefly in the
fact that the circle of hearers is ex-
tended a hundredfold, or thousand
fold, as compared to the hearers of
the spoken word. This increase of
the circle of readers is important
not because there are many readers,
but because among the millions of
people of different nations and sta
tons to whom a book becomes ac-
cessible, those who share similar
thoughts discover one another, and
while living thousands of miles apart
not knowing one another, are yet
united and live by one spirit, having
the spiritual Joy and encouragement
of feeling that they are not alone

"The honor of our flag is no more
in the keeping of Mr.. Huerta than it
is in the keeping of a Papuan canni-
bal who might have eaten an Ameri-
can missionary who had a flag in his
valise.
The honor of the flag is involved
in preserving a just peace in the
world, in minding our own affairs, and
in promoting the welfare of our own
people along the lines of self-govern-
ing democracy and equalized economic
opportunity"
