sofa. This opinion is based up
on the fact that the corn in Min
nesota is considerably behind it's
normal stage of developement at
this time.
While the crop in Minnesota
has made rapid progress in the
last two weeks, it is still far
from assured, continues Mr..
Wilson. However, with two or
three weeks of good weather in
September there will be many
fields Of good corn. Corn o0
well-drained fields that have
been carefully cultivated and
planted with varities suited to
Minnesota conditions have q
good chance of maturing, and
from such fields it is quite pro-
bable that enough seed corn
may be gathered in every COM
munity to give ample supplies
for next years crop. Will it be
picked?
The first task of every Mime.
sofa corn-grower should be to
aid such picking. to pick enough
seed corn for next years plant
ing before a heavy frost comes.
If seed corn cannot be picked
from ones own fields, the privil-
ege of picking at reasonable
rate per bushel can, no doubt, be
obtained from some one in the
community who has more favor
ably situated corn field and
hence has been able to mature
a crop. One can far better
afford to pay s. a bushel for the
privilege of picking seed corn
from neighbor field than to
depend on getting seed corn
through dealers next spring,
because by picking from a neigh
boris field, one is more nearly
certain to get seed corn adapted
to local conditions.

An evidence of this is the fact that both Germany and Austria have requested the United States to represent them and protect their interests at Rome in the event of war. Italy has made the request that this country rep resent her at Vienna and Berlin, so it looks as though all three countries expect declaration of war at any moment

After being out but two hours, tho jury in the Austin case brought in a verdict of "not guilty yesterday evening. The suddenness of their de cision was considerable of a sur. prise to all concerned. There is nc denying the fact that the evidence presented by the government was weak, and the case was poorly hanil- ed. United States Attorney Smise, made great speech in his talk to the jury, but there was nothing for thal jury to do, when the actual evidence was taken into consideration, but to bring in the verdict they did. Speech es are all well and good in their place, but with an Alaska jury, evi- dence must precede them This was lacking in this instance and the yer diet of acquittal was the result.
 Four ballots were taken by tho jury, the first being to , foi aequittal, the second 9 to 3, the thira one Il to l, and the final one unan imous.

It is believed here that assurances have been re- eeived from Bucharest within the past ten days that she is ready to form an actual offensive and de fensive alliance with Italy against Germany and Austria. Roumania is apparently willing to enter the fight if she is assured that Bulgaria will not jump on her back while she is engaged with the Austrians on her western border Italy would be in a position to prevent that, hence the probability of an understanding be tween Italy and Roumania.
