A Weldon Man Took First Money
At Charlton Drag Contest.

The road drag contest was a great
feature at the U. G. T. celebration
last Saturday and was won by Mr.
William F. Boynton, a farmer resid-
ing near Weldon, coming distance
of thirty or thirty-tiye miles. The
prize was $500. He held night
session, leaving Weldon at 1920 a.
m. and arriving in Charlton at f1:0O
a. m. He had good drag, fine
team and says he enjoyed the trip
under the stars and was gratified
when he reached the business metrop-
oils Of the Eighth Congressional
district, and enjoyed the day view
ing the sights, listening to the band
music and seeing the people. He
shipped his drag and devil trees
back to Weldon by rail and returned
overland with the team in the even
ing, reaching home in time for an
early breakfast. We congratulate
Mr.. Boynton, are glad that he won
and hope he was impressed with the
fact that it was good to be here.
Leader.

The Days of Real Sport.

''Do the boys nowadays have as
good time as we did when we were
boys?' Almost everyone has asked
the question of somebody else, it evil
IDENTITY being the notion of the aver
age man that the days of real sport
began when he donned short trous-
ers and ended when he was gradual
ed from the high school.
What has become of the old fash
toned boy who used to play rum
sheep-run and. prisoners base and
mumble-peg and leap-frog and duck
on-the-rock and pom-pom-pull-aWay
What has become of the old fash
toned boy who used to inhabit a
smoke ridden old cave and chew
licorice root and smoke corn silk
cigarets? What has become of the
old fashioned boy who used to get
up at a. m. on July 4? What has
become of the old fashioned boy who
used to keep a pop stand and make
60 cents in real money on every case
of twenty-four bottles he could
whee\,,e a good natured public into
buyinP from him? What has be-
come r the old fashioned boy who
used to captain hose company with
headquarters in the woodshed and
uniform his men in red flannel
shirts? What has become of the
old fashioned boy who used to play
circus and risk his neck trying to
turn somersaults off the back OF the
old family horse? What has be-
come of the old fashioned boy who
used to do these and 1,O01 other
stunts that made the average man S
boyhood days truly days of real
sport?
Yet the old fashioned boy proba-
bly, had no better time than the new
fashioned boy is having-he merely
had his good time in little different
way. Styles change in sports as we'll
is in wearing apparel. Naturally
enough, some Of the games that
were in vogue twenty-five years ago
are unknown to the present genera
ton of tads. Even grownups OF to-
day depend on diversions that were
unknown to their ancestors-aut0-
MODELLING, golf and bridge whist, for
instance, and yet most OF them
would resent it if their gray haired
parents would suggest that life
holds less joy for the adults Of 1915
than it held for the adults OF 1890.
At that probably the old fashion
ed boy who plays run-sheep-run and
duck-on- the-rock still is to be found
in the smaller towns-toWns OF the
same size as our modern city man
used to live in---the same city man
who sympathizes with the boys OF
this generation in the assumption
that life for them is all dull drab.
Boys get to know each other better
in the small towns than they do in
the cities, and every corner lot is
public playground. In the small
towns Fairgrounds do not have to be
provided by the authorities. How
ever, boys will be boys-everyWhere
and all. the time-and boys first
business is to provide a good time
for himself. Incidentally, it is line
of business in which there are few
failures. So save your sympathy.
Nevertheless grownups of 1910
probably will be commisseratingly
asking each other: do boys nova
days have as good time as We had
when we were boys?'

HOW l GREW MY CROP OF CORN.
Boys Acre Corn Contest Report and
History by the Decatur County
Champion of 1914.

The reason l enrolled as club
member of the Acre Corn contest
was because | wanted to learn some
thing about raising corn and thought
| could make some money. Our
county superintendent visited our
school last year and told us about
the different contests and the good
they would do.
| think the object of the Boys
Corn Club is to teach the boys how
to raise corn and to induce them to
stay on the farm.
l tested part Of my corn with the
rag doll tester; most OF the corn
that was tested was planted in my
fathers field, and | noticed that he
had better stand than l did.
Corn should be planted two inch
es deep. The planter should be left
to float and not set to a certain
depth, because the ground where
there are burrows and ridges, and
the planter is set, twill plant too deep
on the ridges and drop the corn on
the top Of the ground in the burrows.
If the planter is left to float it will
rise over the ridges and drop down
in the burrows and plant evenly over
all the ground. Corn should be
planted with furrow openers on the
planters, because it can be planted
deeper and cultivated easier. T..
| cultivated my acre with the rest
of the field adjoining it. My acre
was measured off from forty acre
field in which corn had been grown
for three years. In cultlvating 1T,
| used a surface cultiyatOr the first
time; the second spring tooth; the
third surface; and the fourth, the
spring tooth. My ground seemed to
be little cloddy before planting, so
disked it and foated it with float,
with knives on the bottom, before
planting. This helped it some Al
ter a few rains it was all right. l
did not husk by corn very early SO
it was solid and dry The ears were
of good size but not Of as good a
shape as they ought to have been.
think this was on account OF the
dry weather. Corn should be stored
in dry crib where the rain or snow
cannot get to it and where the air
can circulate freely.
Seed corn should be selected from
the field so you can see the character
Of the stalk. After the corn is gath
cred the stalks should be pastured
by cattle and hogs. The hogs get
the corn that is left on the ground
and the cattle get the corn left on
the stalk.
My total yield was ninety-three
bushels. l kept my corn for my own
use. The total cost for time and
labor was $21.10. Profit $26.C5.
think can raise a better crop
next year. l will disc and harrow
my ground before blowing as it
makes better seed bed and does
not leave any air spaces after the
ground is turned over. l will try
for a prize next year on an acre OF
alfalfa or fattening baby beef.
Note:-This boy is acting as a
township leader this year and is
raising the $1,000 and $500 prize
money among the farmers for his
township. This story is sample
of what is required of the corn

OUR ORGANf > FlhSI OhIANlol {,
ri have loved this organ as if it

words of Miss Kemp as she locked

Christ and delight to the audience.
The chorus rendered thirty minute

anthems of days of old. Fully 1000

lighted. Miss Kemp played the pipe

church. She will be remembered
for both her efficiency and example.
1t gives us pleasure and pride to say
that our chorus is considered one of
the best in sou Invest Iowa.
Miss Kemp has been ably assisted
for the past two years by F. T.
Sturtevant who has lead the chorus
at the public services while she
would have charge of the anthem
work. The relationship existing be-
tween the chorus and it's leaders is
of a beautiful nature. Both the lead
crs and the members of the chorus
have been exceedingly loyal. Miss
Kemp has always had all Of the mu-
sic pupils in the city that she could
handle. She sewers her relationship
in that, her work in the Capitol City
demands her exclusive attention.
May Gods choicest blessings ever
abide with her and lead her on to
even greater success is the wish of
the writer. @

NOTICE TO FARMERS

Louis r. Chazal & Son Co. an
nounces that it expects to be ready to
purchase corn about September 3. In
order to avoid having corn brought to
Ocala and taken back again, the COM
pany asks that the farmers make ar
rangements with the company before
hauling. This will save the farmers
unnecessary trouble. The company
will not be able to purchase corn until
about September because it finds
that it's warehouse and machinery
will not be ready before that date
THE first shipment of machinery ar
rived yesterday and Mr.. John Chazal
was busy placing it in the warehouse
The warehouse of Mr.. S. H. Christian
opposite that of J. F. Jenkins & Co.
has been leased by the Chazal firm.

POPULAR MECHANICS
Truinu Front Wheels.

Whenever an auto driver feels that
the steering device i not responding as
IT used to he should investigate the
cause. IL the car steers hard and
shows an inclination To run of 10 the
side of the road unless held in place il
means that something il wrong. Per
haps all that i needed Is a little oil
on the steering column parts. Perhaps
the worm and sector portion is binding.
But first Of all determine IL the front
wheels are true. Sight along the axle
and see if it has been bent Next take
a pole and, after setting the front
wheels as true with the rear wheels
as possible, measure across the two
front wheels about fourteen or sixteen
inches from the ground at the back
side of the wheels. Now measure at
the same height, or as nearly as pos
sible, across the front portion OF the
front wheels. If these distances vary,
the wheels are not parallel. They can
be made to parallel by lengthening or
shortening the cross member OF the
steering device. If the wheels are not
true they will wear out tires very
rapidly, besides making the car ride
hard and steer badly.

early in the last century was a leader
in the warfare carried on by the Ty-
rolese against the French, who were
trying to subdue their country. Hofer
is highly praised in song and story in
Austria, and the German novelist
most widely read in America-Miss
Mulhbach-wrote one Of her best
books in commemoration Of his deeds.
Hofer has also received much praise
in America. America knew how to
praise him, for he carried on the
same sort of warfare in defense Of
his country as the Americans car
ried on in defense of theirs. How
ever, Hofer and his comrades, if they
were now alive and fighting on the
same principle they fought then, and
were fighting against Germany,
would be considered as franctireurs,
and shot or hung without trial if cap
tured. Strong nations make their own
laws and force them on weak ones. 1t
behooves America TO make herself

MORE ABOUT MUSIC

Ocala, Fla, Aug. IS, 1915.
Editor Star: The mere fact that l
wrote a letter in defense of German
music last week was no excuse at all
for Mr.. Melin to get personal in his
letter Monday. However, since he
has published his letter it is up to me
to make a reply.
To begin with Mr.. Melin says that
correctly interpreted rag has place
in music. Certainly it has, but it was
my contention that German music is
popular in this country, not that rag
is unpopular. There are many Ger
man selections that have stood the
test of a hundred years or more and
are still liked by the people, but
where will "Tipperary" be twenty
years from now? "Annie Rooney
was a very popular piece about twen-
ty years ago, but where is it now?
wonder if Mr.. Melin himself would
know the tune of "Annie Rooney" if
he heard it. Rags spring up, take
the country by storm and die away
and are forgotten, but this can not be
said of the German selections that
have stood the test of time.
l do not claim to have an unex-
celled musical education nor to be ar
unrivaled musician, as Mr.. Melir
seems to insinuate, but | do claim tt
know and appreciate more music be,
sides ragtime to which some people
seem to be entirely bound, through
ignorance or stupidity. Variety il
the spice of life. Yes, after Schop
enhauser's PHILOSOPHERS give us 9Th,
Diamond from the Sky to rest up on
But if one or two distinguished in
dividuals would be given a cloth t.
polish up their tin ears they woulC
not need a whole year of "Balling tn,
Jack" to rest up on after the dose O
Vieuxtemp's Op. 10, which, by tn
way is French, not German, as Nh
Melin seems to think.

A valued but misinformed contem-
porary declares that France has not
been friendly to America, and cites as
proof of his assertion the trouble be-
tween the United States and France
under the directory, and later under
Napoleon, and the later defiance of
the Munroe doctrine by Napoleon
Ill, which resulted in the setting up
of Macmillan in Mexico. France un-
der the directory was too crazed to
be responsible for it's actions, and the
French people are not to be judged
by the policy of the two Napoleons
toward America. Both were despots
and enemies of any republic, and the
nephew of his uncle was not in the
least representative of France. II
may be safely maintained that the
friendship founded by Lafayette be.
tween France and America has beer
more solid and lasting than that be-
tween any other two nations.

The Ocala Star has been having a
big argument with local musicians as
to what constitutes real music and
whether or not German music is pop
ular in this country. The Herald
sides with the Star in contending that
the most popular music in the United
States is vocal of the simplest kind,
such as Annie Laurie, Old Black Joe,
Old Folks at Home, Juanita, Auld
Lang Syne and the beautiful hymns
that are sung in the churches. Not
one person in a hundred has a cult
waited taste for music; consequently
what is called classic music and the
instrumental stuff that is played or
pianos cannot be designated as pop
ular. About the only thing by g
great composer which this writer has
been able to understand and appre
ciate is Mozart's Twelfth Mass
which is simply grand.-Punta Gords
Herald.
The Star is informed by a German
friend that the Germans have plent!
of simple and pretty music, which il
popular with the people the same a
our simple music is popular with US
lone of the faults of Americans i
that they are too much given to tax
ing up with what costs the most, AM
in importing foreign customs as the,
do foreign goods, they often sacrific
taste to vanity.
