IMMIGRATION BILL
 |S DEAD LETTER
House FaiIs To Pass Measure Over Veto of President Wiison-
 Many Protests Entered

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Advocates of the Smith-Burnett immigration bill which was vetoed by President Will son because it contained literacy clause have failed in their efforts to have the measure passed over the veto by the House.
 Tremendous pressure has been brought upon representatives of many of the eastern states to prevent the measure becoming a law. Mass meet ings have been held in nearly every city where large foreign populations reside and the members of congress have been swamped by letters and wires protesting against the passage of the measure.
 Opponents of the bill contended that the literacy test would serve no good purpose, but would result in the disbarment especially of immigrants from certain countries and from Rus. sia, where Jews contend that gov ernment restrictions hamper their ef- forts to gain an education.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The vote in the House to pass the immigra. tion bill over the veto of President Wilson failed by the close margin of five votes.

A STRENUOUS JOB

Editing a newspaper is a pleasing

anybody-the editors the goat.
If the town is tagging behind the
people won't get out and make

paper is on the bum.
II business is bad--it's because
the editor wants too much money
for his advertising space.
If business is good-advertising

If We print what pleases people
that is our duty and we deserve
no credit.
If we print what is displeasing-

HOW TO MARKET
YOUR SOFT CORN

Some of the benefits of a county
agent appear in the service which
Mr.. G. w. Davis of Greene county
has just given the grain dealers
of western Iowa in their meeting
at Carroll. The dealers have re-
fused to buy the new corn crop
and were also unable to give the
farmers any satisfactory advice as
to the best way to handle it. At
the request of the dealers Mr..
Davis has made the following sug-
gestions which have been approved
and will be widely advertised
throughout the country:
l. Sort the soft and chaffy ears
and feed them to stock while they
are in good condition, leaving the
good corn which will not be con-
taminated by contact with the bad
2. Postpone the cribbing until
late if possible.
8. Divide the fields where prac-
ticable and harvest the most mature
corn first.
4. Use plenty of ventilators, eth
er tile or some kind, as the corn
is being put away.
5. Market the corn when it is
frozen.

1t all comes out of the contests
:parts, :" started in certain coun-
ties t spring to see what
boy in each lie could raise the
most corn ON an acre of land. OF
course contests of this kind have
been held before, but this time the
contestants seem to have worked
harder because they all wanted
pretty badly to go to the big ex-
position at San Francisco.
Each of these forty boys is the
winner in his own county. Seven of
them are only thirteen years old
four others are only fourteen. In
fact, a fourteen-year-old boy almost,
but not quite won the championship
of the entire state of Iowa. He
produced more than one hundred
forty-four bushels of dry shelled
corn from his acre. His name is
Arthur Schmidt. He lives in Ben
ton County between Marshalltown
and Cedar Rapids.
The champion of the state is
Wade Houser, boy who lives a
mile and a half east of the lit
tie town of Union, about fifty
miles northeast of Des Moines. He
raised a little more than one hun
dred fifty bushels on an acre of
ground, not only winning the con-
test, but locating all former re-
cords made in these contests in
Iowa. So he is the champion of all
the boy corn growers so far pro-
duced in Iowa. He is seventeen
years old; and he has already
started preparing his ground to
win the championship again next
year for he thinks he can do it.
Audubon County was not repre-
sented in the contest, nor was
any county touching its borders;
but Greene county, north of Guthrie
Harrison county, west of Shelby,
and Pottawattamie County, west of
Cass, We're all in it. The champion
of Green County is Ralph Tea
garden who raised $50 bushels; the
champion of Harrison is Bernard
Smith who raised III bushels; and
Ralph Sherwin, who produced los
bushels is champion of Pottawatta-
mie County.
