l6 fl. Stalk of Corn

The ARGUS received a stalk of young June corn on Saturday which is a record breaker for length. It was 16 feet long and had two ears. was planted June 1st by Frank Duncan in Dark Corner near Garrett's Ford. Farmer Duncan has corn which has been made and will yield from 75 to 80 bushels per acre.
 This kind of corn raising on $2O and $25 per acre land ought to talk some to the Northern people who have to fertilize their $15O and $2OO per acre land to do it.

! Monroe County Han Failed in Colorado,
 Written About

The Canyon City (Colorado) leading daily last week paid a neat tribute to our former, clever and esteemed contemporary Hon. Wm. E. Spencer who was for years editor of the Clarendon Sun of this county.
 Today rounds out eight years in Canyon City for w. E. Spencer and he has been at all times since then, in season and out of season, a consistent and enthusiastic booster for the com- munity. Mr. Spencer came here from Clarendon. Ark, and by his adaptability to the ways of the wild and woolly west" has become as one to the manner born. He has made many friends here who are glad that he has made Colorado the state of his adoption.
 Mir. Spencer is a journalist and yields the trenchant pen, or typewriter as the case may be, .on many subjects. He has had published numerous letters in the Southern press extolling Colorado, its climate. it's health fitness and it's scenic beauty which have reached a wide clientele of readers and induced some of them to come here and make their home. In the course of a recent communication to the Memphis Commercial Ap- peal, which was given wide publicity through it's columns, MT. Spencer said:
 II arrived in Colorado a physical wreck, badly emaciated. without appetite, almost without hope, and carrying 104 degrees temperature. which persisted for months. I was kept literally packed in ice for three weeks. I had copious hemorrhages from the lungs at interveals for four years; there was a period of one month that I took no food ex- |cept boiled milk. Nobody thought I would live, and I didn't think 90 myself. Twice my wife was told to telegram relatives if she wanted them at my funeral. But II am we'll today, and regained my health by exactly the same methc ds I am now advising and urging others to follow.
 My own recovery has been SC extraordinary that it has in- spired my unlimited confidence in the curative possibilities of Colorado's climate, and 1 rec comend it, unreserved. to all who are confiicted as 1 was"

Though the government is having
tough time getting at the facts. pro-
fessional ball players will pay into the
internal revenue department some
thing like 5000 In income tax.
But for the fact that 80 per cent OF
the players In the American. National
and Federal leagues are married and
are thereby permitted to claim an ex-
emption Of $4,000 in salary. the sum
exacted by the government would be
considerably greater.
From the best Information the ex.
perts have been able to obtain there
are in the three leagues mentioned
about 800 players who receive more
