The Hitachi Maru of the N. Y X.
Australian line, which left Yokohama
for Melbourne and Sydney recently,
carried large consignment of mis-

There were 1900 tons, this being the
record cargo of any steamer bound
for Australia from Yokohama. Inelud-

of bamboo baskets, paper. lacquer
ware, porcelains, camphor, beer, cot

carried various kinds of Japanese toys,
Christmas presents for Australian

The Hitachi Maru will also carry a

government, as well as the banks, and
because of the prospects for increased

the newspaper discussion of grain TX

valuable modern device which aids
the farmer to intelligently market his
crop"
1t is too large and important a prob
lem to be fully discussed in one short
article. There are several angles to
ii, each one of which is worthy of
development. OF course | recognize
that there are two sides to the Ques-

in; and some grave evils arising from
the present system. That a campaign
is now on to eliminate the evils; and
that the benefciaries will contest to
the limit. 1t should be treated can
didly, c~ourteously and fairly.
Any question affecting the market
ing of farm products, while primarily
a farmers problem, is a state and
national problem, affecting every
legitimate industry in state and ma
ton, and should be considered as
such. We will admit for the sake of
argument that the farmers are too
busy; or too prosperous;-or think

CALLING ON A GREAT MAN

In the February American Maya
zine George Fitch writes another
Homeburg sketch entitled Home
burg's Worst Enemy" in which he
shows how the small towns are robb
ed of their boys and girls by the
great cities. He says that Old Man
Opportunity stands outside every
small town and beckons the boys and
girls away to the cities. Some of
these boys and girls, of course, he
come famous, and in the following
passage from the article Mr.. Fitch
shows how one of them receives his
old small-town friend:
President Banks of the great F. C..
& l.. Railroad System, who played on
the Homeburg base ball nine 35
years ago, will stop puzzling w the
financial situation long enough to give
the glad hand to a Homeburger man
du.ing Office hours. OF course l don't
mean that anyone from Homeburg can
break in on him and pile his desk full
of feet. You have to be a thirty-third
degree Homeburger from his stand
point; that is, you or your father must
have stolen apples with him.

when | went to call on him last
month. If the government would let
him he'd give me a pass home"

This is about the time of the year
to test your seed corn. Have you
done it? Don't make the mistake of
thinking that because we had a good
corn crop last season there is no need
OF testing the seed corn. Seed corn
should be tested every year, no matter
how good you think it may be. 1t is
the detail of every business that
makes for success or failure, and the
testing of seed corr is a part of the
detail of the farming business. If you
happen to get four or five ears of poor
corn in each bushel of seed, you will
reduce your crop four or five per cent,
besides raising more pigeon grass and
weeds where corn should be growing.

bushels of corn to the acre next fall
rather than spend a few days testing

The CrOw'S-Nest

What is the best thing in our town
If the foregoing question were asked
of the first dozen people a person
should meet on the street tomorrow
there would be a variety of answers.
Perhaps not a third of the number
would agree on the same thing. A
few would name something that they
might believe to be a good thing but
are liable not to support it very strong
either financially or morally. Some
people move to town because it is
reputed to be a fine place in which to
live, but it is often observable that
they do not add much towards keeping
it up to the established standard. Are
you a litter, a %leaner, or a drifter?
A young man came into a barber
shop a few days ago., handed a razor
to the proprietor and said: Can you
set this for me?" The proprietor ask
ed him: "How will you have it, ross
cut or rip?"A good specimen of quick
repartee.
Dancing schools are prevalent all
over the country this winter. 1t seems
to be necessary to have such schools
all the time now in order to keep up
with the new steps that are being in
troduced every week by the profess
sional dancing masters who have a
corner on the production of dances.
Madame Schumann-Heink, n of
the worlds greatest singers has this
to say in the Saturday Evening Post
about her early training: IL found
that work about the home developed
in me a constitution that has been
one of my most valuable possessions.
There Is no work that does more to

mend that kind of work to all Ameri-
can girls"
One of the popular weekly maya
zines has quite an extended article on
the new industries that are made pos
sible because of the val in Europe.
The supply of certain kinds of drugs
and medicinal preparations has been
cut off or so far interfered with that 1t
is necessary to look to our own coun-
try for the raw material. The writer
of the article mentions several wild
plants that are in demand which are
native to this part of the country,
such as foxglove, nightshade, sour
dock, dandelion, etc. This country
could supply the world with all the
dandelion that is needed and if The
foreign supply is in any danger OF
being exhausted it would be easy
enough to start the raising of it here,
provided that the price per pound is
sufficient to make it remuerative.
Isn't it about time for the CONNER
cial Club to start the good roads agita-
ton again SO as to be ready to take up
the work as oon as possible in the
early summer? 1t takes about 50
much agitation to get things started
and the spring rains will show up the
defects in the work that has already
been done so that the committees. if
appointed in time, can plan to have
improvements made where they are
the most needed. From present aD-
~pearances the good roads enthusiasm
has faded almost as bad as the paint
on the posts that used to mark the
two national highways across he
county. Some new paint is needed
anyhow.
