or the belief that the other fellow had
something better has caused these
varieties, in many instances, to be
entirely replaced by inferior ones.
The new variety may have had
straighter rows, better filled butts and
tips, or a different indentation, but in
the field they usually proved to be
lacking in Yield.
The Northern corn grower has tax
en- his highest yielding to varieties
and with proper attention to depth of
grain, length of ear, and butt tips,
ETC., he has increased the yields of
these good varieties. We can in
crease the yield of our best varieties
in the same way. These show points
are only means to an end.
Boone, Johnson, st. Charles, and
other standard varieties of large
white corn have been grown here SO
long that they are well adapted to our
season and soil and if not leaders,
they are setting very high standard.
Seed of these varieties can be obtain
ed of local corn breeders.
One variety test or one yield con-
test will not tell us the best variety.
A corn variety test should be run in
every rnral school district. There is
no mystery or trick about such tests.
Your rural school teacher is able to
conduct variety test and will do so
If given encouragement.
Acre yield contests are being con-
Quoted in many counties by the coun-
ty superintendent. The best way to
get the benefit of such contests is to
become a member. The State Nor
NAL School offers prizes in each coun-
ty for highest yields and will be glad
to enroll youin the 1914 contest, and
send you the results of the 1918 con-
test. SETH BABCocK,

of members $10O dollars year for
each 100000 of inhabitants in their
respective states. Each would have
as many times 800 for stamps as

The bill provides for special stamps
for this purpose.
The house closed a warm debate of
twenty hours duration, last week, by
passing the bill to repeal the toll ex-
emption clause of the canal act. The
Presidents urgent insistence, no
doubt, expedited its passage and in
creased the vote in favor OF it, al
though there has never been much
doubt of the result.
| In the debate on the bill, the ques-
tions Of right, expediency, justice,
national honor, etc., ad infinitum,
were discussed from various view
points. From the maze of arguments
offered, 1t would be difficult to find
coherent set of cogent reasons pro
or con. 1t is our belief that the de-
bate was sincere and the action con-
scientious. Members voiced their
honest convictions and voted accord
ingly. This is the whole story.
It was no petty war Of words among
men Of mediocre talents, but a great
battle Of intellectual giants. On the
one side were such masters Of logic
and mouth pieces of forceful oratory
as Speaker Clark, Underwood, Fitz-
gerald, Doremus, Mann, Mondell,
Murdoch and others; on the other,
Palmer, Shefley, Adamson, Henry,
Stevens and others. 1t is safe to say
| that the historic old walls have not
echoed such stirring appeals In many
a day. Every seat in the galleries
| was occupied, and great throng
surged Through the corridors all day.
We do not believe that any member
OF Congress thinks that the Presidents
insistence was actuated by any other
than the highest motivesof patriotism
j No one, we believe, questions his

The shut-In.

Majestic cliff, from the earth upspring,
Reaching thy pinions to the sky;
For ages thou hast stood, by poets
unsung,
An awe-inspiring landmark to the
eye.
Split asunder, by the great Spirit in
his wars,
Thou didst tremble when He left
thee wide; n.
Flowers and ferns crept up to hide
thy scars,
And birdssang to lessen thy solitude.
have seen the lightning play upon
thy face,
AS unchanging thou host stood;
Serene, symbolic of the Red mans
race,
Thruallthe elements, varying mood.
The laughing waters play about thy
feet,
Where heroes worship at thy shrine;
The birds within thy breast make
music sweet
o shut-In, thou too, art mine!

The Best Variety of Corn.

Cape corn, the corn that produced
SO bushels on one acre in 1918 is big,
coarse heavy, white cobbed variety
that has been grows ON one farm for
over thirty years. The two ears
shown in the picture are representa-
tive Of this variety. They measure II
and III inches in length and and
three e-fourth and 8 inches in circum-
ference, and each produced over one
pound of shelled corn. This variety
may not be able to hold the place it
has won, but the corn that will win
will have many of these characters.

DUCKING ADMINISTERED
 THE INTERRUPTfRS
SUFFRAGETTES WE'RE CHASED OFF THE GROUNDS AND MEN
 THROWN IN THE LAKE.

London, June 20.-An artificial ake gave a big crowd an opportunity today to vent their wrath on suffra- gette interrupters of David Lloyd George chancellor of the exchequer who spoke at Denmark hiil, in the south of London, but chivalrous dis criminations was employed between the men and women disturbers, the women being chased off the grounds and the men being tucked The man who fared wo st was a clergyman, said to be a member of Sylvia Plank hursts east end army.
 Undeterred by the fate that had fal- len other disturbers he demanded to know why the government had not given votes to women After a com plete immersion i1 the pond. he was rescued half drowned, by man in a boat
 During tle address the chancellor made it clear that the amending bill, which will be introduced in the house of lords next Tuesday, simply will re- neat the government's original offer of the tempoary exclusion from the home rule bill of such counties in Us ter as vote for exclusion.
 Next week. he said, there will be introduced bill which will give every county in Ulster the option of voting itself out of home rue until
 TWO general elections have taken place in this country. They need not parade, drill and threaten to shoot anybody in order to escape home rule. If they don't want it all they shall have to do it to go to the polling

claimed in public statements by both the American and Mexican delegates, but it was pointed out today that the latter left a loop hole in their recent statement criticising the American plan. In this statement, Mir. Rabasa said the American demand that a constitutionalist be selected for pro- visional president had been rejected by the Mexican delegation of it's own accord and without even consult ing it's government"
 As General Huerta admittedly was not consulted on this point it was said the MeXicans might recede from their position if the government wished it, and that this supplied an additional way if needed by which the conferences might be prolonged

Washington officials. It was ad- dressed to Roberto Pesquiera, consti- tutionalist confidential agent and for mer representative of the revolution.
 Cabrera's message came at time when agents of both Carranza and Villa clements here admittedly were worried over the situation. The ob- jection by Carranza of Angeles as secretary of war ill the provisional cabinet has dispelled in part yester- days prediction that the Carranza- Villa controversy had become a closed matter, and that the divorce of certain relations between Carranza and Villa would not interfere with the actual progress of the revolution.
 Official efforts failed to find out the exact condition of the Carranza officials iorcefully elected from their office at Juarez. Efforts to learn the disposition of the 1,O00000 pesos in constitutionalist currency confiscated by Villas military officials from the national treasury offices at Juarez also failed
 Reports from Niagara Falls that Villa had proclaimed Angeles for pro- visional president were not verified here. The Huerta consul here, who had reported the rumor to the medi ators, said he had it only by hearsay The report that General Chao, busted by Villa as governor of Chihuahua, has been executed by Villas order was not further credited by officials here. Chao is operating with his troops below Torreon, according to persons arriving from there.

SENATOR OWEN FAV0RS
 FEDERAL PRIMARIES
BILL WOULD PROVIDE FOR THE
 NOMINATION OF PRESIDENT BY PRIMARY SYSTEM.

Washington, D. C., June 20.--Sena- tor Owen today called upon his demo- cratic colleagues in the senate to re- member that plank in the party plat form calling for tine "extirpation of corruption, fraud and machine rule in American politics" and offered four bills designed, he said, to bring about needed reforms.
 "lf, he said, the democratic party leaves the country under the ma chine rule system with the door open to fraudulent practices in nominat- ing senators and congressman after ldts solemn promise to the people, it undoubtedly will receive severe con demnation.
 No senator would venture to say he thought it wise to permit corrup- tion in our election machinery" said Mr owen, "but no individual seems to feel charged with responsibility of preparing the necessary measure and urging its passage. l propose, there fore, resolution charging the com mittee on privileges and elections with this duty"
 Senator owen explained one of his bills was designed to prevent unlim- ited campaign contributions from in- diyiduals; the second provides for government publicity pamphlet is- sued at government expense and de- livered to every citizen, in which can didates for federal offices would have an opportunity to explain views. The other would legalize the use of the preferential ballot in making nomina- tions for the senate and house, and the last would define corrupt prac- tices in connection with campaigns.
 Senator Owen declared congress should follow President Wilson's ad- vice and provide for the nomination of candidates for the presidency and the vice presidency by the preferen- tial primary and should lay down fundamental rules for the states in this connection.
 He suggested the state primaries for presid7nt senate and house take place the second Tuesday in June, beginning in 1916, and the national conventions authorize to meet within thirty days therefater solely to ratify the primaries and write the plat forms. This convention, he said should consist of nominees for sen ate and house and hold-over senators not defeated in primaries.

SENATE MAKES SLIGHT CHANG Es IN PORTION OF BILL RELAT-
 ING TO ORGANIZED LABOR.
NENLANDS BILL UP MONDAY
Sections Relating to Price Discrimin- ations, etc, Were Entirely Stricken Out On Account of Other Bills Gov ering This Question.

Washington, June 20-The senate eliminate from the house antitrust bill words which lawyers say would legalize the black list Although less than half the committee attended to- days session and action wasdescribed as tentative, 1t was believed generally tonight that the entire committee will approve.
 The portions of the biil acceptable to organized labor were only slightly modified and the limiting of iniunc- tions in labor disputes was agreed to
 practically as written in the house bill. The committee expects to fin ish it's work next week and report the bill to the senate.
 Senator Newlaads today announced
 that the trade commission bill would
 be taken up Monday if the senate agrees and will be disposed of before this broader measure is pressed for consideration.
 The committee devoted all day to
 the section relating to the issuance of restraining orders and injunctions
 in labor disputes. This now reads: 'No such restraining order or in- | junction shall prohibit ahy person or
 persons from terminating any rela- ton of employment, or from ceasing | to perform any work or labor, or from recommending, advising or per Isuading others by peaceful means to do so, or from paying or giving to or withholding from any person in such dispute any strike benefits or moneys or things of value; or from peacably assembling at any place in a lawful manner and for lawful purposes; or from doing any act or thing which might lawfully be done in the absence of such dispute by any party thereto nor shall any of the acts specified i1 this paragraph be considered or held un' awful
 The committee struck out language which would have banned injunctions against pcketing, near the home of or working place of any person for the purpose of peacefully obtaining or communicating information
 In the section relating to contempt proceedings it struck out the house
 provisions limiting the punishment to a $l 900 fine or six months imprison-
 ment. It was pointed out that in many instances contempt might be wiifully committed with the object of securing these comparatively mild punishments.
 Sections relating to price discrim- nations, refusal to sell mining oli, gas or hydra-eectric products. exclu- siye sale agreements and that pro- hiblting combinations or holding com IpaIies which would lessen competi. tion, were stricken from the bill en- tirely. This action was taken be- cause similar provisions are under discession in other measures before the senate interstate commerce com mittee

 The Austrian army has lost several of it's most intrepid and experienced aviators by today's accident as well as its only dirigible.
 The start of the dirigible was made without difficulty but it is said that shortly afterward the spectators noticed that the balloon was not fly ing as well as usual but was seem ingly carried by the wind Lieuten- ant Flatz,, who was attached to the navy, is reported also to have re- marked that the machinery of the balloon was not in order
 Peasants who were near at hand report hearing despairing shrieks of the occupants of the gondola as the wreck of the balloon descended. As sistance came speedily from all sides. Officers and men in automobiles hastened from Fischamend but 1t was difficult to locate the spot until the pilot of an aeroplane made an ascension to reconnoiter.
 The rescuers were mortified at the sight of the Coertling. Nothing re. mained but a twisted mass of half melted metal framework in which the bodies were inextricably tangled Just beside it lay the aeroplane com pletely wrecked, with the bodies of the officers firmly lashed in.
 Identification of the victims was difficult So fierce had been the flames that all watches and rings were melted, but singularly, the pock etbooks of Hostetter and Bruer were almost intact.
 Lieutenant Bachner, who was to have made the trip, arrived too late to do so. Another similarly fortunate man was Fireman Gaswinkler, who was called back just as he was en tering the gondola
