The harms that these

fully estimated by the dollars
that they take away from

Far worse than this is the

INDIA ILLUSTRATED
GRAND SUCCESS
Presentation at Congregational Church
Was Most Instructive and
Entertaining.
SEVEN "NATIVES" IN THE CAST

For the second time, to well-filled
house, Rev. N. Carter Daniel gave his
lecture on illustrated India" given
this time under the auspices of the
Ladies' Missionary society. The lee
turer had trained number Of
natives who, in Oriental dress,
for an hour and half lived the life
of the Hindu people. In different
scenes they presented the religious,
revealed an hundred customs and
characteristics in song, dance, trade
and barter, profession and schools.
The young people had evidently
been trained by one who knew the
Hindu people thoroughly and gave a
splendid and specific Oriental flavor
to the entertainment by using freely
phrases of the language of the people
whom they represented. The young
participants entered into the spirit of
the play with vim and appreciation
of values which could hardly be i'm
proved upon, and the interest they
created was strongly evidenced by the
ripples of laughter and hearty ap-
pIause All did so well that it would
be invidious to compare; but because
of the Importance of their roles Misses
Ella Schneider and Viola Faust
should be mentioned The acting of
the one and the song and dances Of the
other brought forth many tokens of
approval.
Rev. N. Carter Daniel added not a
little to the success of the entertain
ment by a scholarly Introduction, re-
freshing and witty explanations before
each scene, and the continuous stream
of conscious and unconscious humour
which ran throughout his remarks,
audience and caste were kept
audibly smiling
The entertainment was one of the
| cleanest, most instructive and en-
| joyable that has been presented in our
city. The cast consisted of:
| Appalaswami Miss Ella SchmutZler
| Appudu- Miss Selma Spohn
| Cunavva Miss Adeline SydOW

THE SELECTION OF
SEED CORN IMPORTANT
The Yield Depends Upon the Selec-
ton, Curing and Testing
of Seed.
WISCONSIN SEED ARE BEST

A good yield of corn depends upon
number of factors, three of the
most important being-the selection
the curing, and the testing of the
seed. Under average farm condi-
tons, the proper amount Of care taken
in securing the best seed will be more
than repaid
During the past ten years the
quality and yield of corn in Wisconsin
has greatly increased, due largely to
the use of especially bred dent varie-
ties. These new high producing strains
are larger cared, deeper kerneled, and
supplied with more abundant foliage
than the old varieties. Better care is
now needed in the selection and curing
of seed corn than was necessary with
the early shallow kereneled and not in
frequently scrub varieties Yet, on
some farms, the same methods of
selecting and curing seed corn are
now practiced as were used vars ago,
and in many instances no attempt is
made to test the seed for termination.
Just to see how good their seed corn
really was, $50 practical farmers fur
nished the Experiment Station with
samples of their seed in 1909-1910.
This seed was tested and planted by
c. P. Norgord who was then in charge
of crop demonstrations on the state
and county farms. From 211 farms the
seed corn gave an average germina-
ton test OF 1873 per cent and a stand
in the field of So per cent. The poorer
seed from 139 farms gave a germina-
ton test of but 81 per cent. and pro-
duced a stand in the field of but SIS
per cent Had the seed corn planted
by these 139 farmers been properly
cured and tested, their yield could
have been increased Is to 80 per cent.

| pense.

Senator Underwood declares that he
has not seen al Congress in twenty
years where business is so far behind
as it is this year. 1t is now taken for
granted that the session will extend
well into the autumn; and many doubt
if an adjournment can be taken before
election day. Out of fourteen appro-
priatiOn bills only One-and that the
least important-has been passed.
The President has pleaded with his
party leaders to expedite the admin
istration program, but the incoherent
majority is unable to adjust it's in
ternal differences and is appealing, in
turn, to the Republicans to help. This
is not Republican problem however.

and having secured it they do not
know how to employ it..

Burton Stock is High.
A few days ago former Senator
Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, visited
the floor of the Senate. There was a
noticeable stir of interest, and some
one in the press gallery called atten-
ton TO the fact that five men who had
been more or less prominently men
toned for the Republican nomina-
ton were in the Chamber. However
as the weeks and days bring the Chi
cage convention closer, the number OF
men who continue to be regarded as
actual political timber" are decreas-
ing. A few who were "favorite sons
in their own states awhile ago, have
already been relegated to the discard

indications are that it is going to be
the Republican field against his can
d;Gacy. There has been a good deal
OF talk to the effect that Mr. Wilson, in
choosing his new Secretary of War
from Ohio, anticipated contest with
Mr.. Burton in the campaign, and used
the occasion to strengthen himself in
the state from which his opponent was
likely to come. Mr.. Burton has one OF
the best records of any man who has
been in Congress during recent years
He was a foe to pork barrel legisla-
ton and graft of every kind. In his
last great fight upon the 1914 bill, his
arguments were SO strong that Presi-
dent Wilson was drawn into the open
and supported Burton, to the great
discontinue of partisans of his own
political faith.

Facts For Farmers Who Save
Seed Corn.

Seed corn before harvesting
should be allowed to become we'll
matured on the stalk.
When the earliest matured ears
are gathered, earliness is secured
at the expense of yield and vitality
Select only well formed ears
from vigorous well-rooted plants
Seed corn should be selected be-
fore the severe frOsts Or about the
middle of September.
Seed corn at maturity contains
from 20 to 80 per cent water and
the germ is easily injured by
freezing when it contains this
large amount of moisture.
Twice as many seed ears should
be gathered by the farmer as will
be needed for planting. About Is
medium sized ears will plant an
acre.
Seed corn should be put into the
proper place for curing, the same
day it is taken from the field.

Gently lost factory employing 400
workers. A Democratic paper COM
menting upon this incident says that
every man, woman, or child leaving
city for another residence decreases
the value of industrial sites 1000 per
capita This, coming from Demo-
cratic paper is a surprising argument
in favor of a protective tariff law If
the loss of a factory employing 400
workers means a heavy loss to the
site value of a city, the building up of
American industries under the in
fiuence of a protective tariff means
a corresponding increase in the site

Washington, March Especial
Correspondence Representative Page
Of the Seventh North Carolina district
has notified his Democratic constitu-
ents that he will not be a candidate
for denomination. He gives as a rea-
son that he is at odds with President
Wilson on questions of foreign policy
and that he does not think he should
continue in Congress under those cir
cumstances. Mr.. Page has had many
bouquets thrown at him for his "cour-
ageous" stand for principle, and he
has been highly complimented for his
action when he has no opposition for

Mr.. Page received 14,7S9 votes, while

sentiment in North Carolina for pro-

trines-and it is altogether likely
that Mr.. Pages grand stand play has
been arranged with all these facts in
view.

will be gone over several times. A
slight frost will not injure corn if il

the risk of frost than to select the
ears too early The latter part OF the
growing season seems to improve the

Care should be taken in choosing

above the ground Those ears, which
grow either very high or very low up
on the stalk, should be rejected as
such position on stalk is not desirable
For the same reason, experienced
growers avoid selecting ears with very
short or long shanks, or from deform-
ed stalks. They select only from
stalks that are leafy, of medium size
and carrying one good ear that droops
moderately.
After the seed ears are husked
they should not be allowed to lay in
piles in the field or in the wagon
box for several days. The safe way is
to hang the corn Immediately after
picking where it will be cured. At this
time ears which are imperfect are tc

VILLISTA BAND AND CARRANzA
 FORCES FIGHT

Chihuahua City, Mex, July B. Gen. Ignacio Ramos was killed in a fierce and bloody battle that ragged all yesterday between a small force. of de facto troops and large band of Villa followers at Corral ranch, 15 miles of Jiminez.
 Both sides suffered heavily. Rather than retire to Jiminez without carry ing out his orders, which were not to return unless he was able to report success, General Ramos fought until killed, cheering his men to the last. The Carranza troops were sur rounded Monday at daybreak, and for more than 12 hours held their posi- tions against heavy odds.
 At nightfall, after their commander had been killed and the greater part of the command killed or wounded, the survivors retired with their wounded. Three times the Villa men dashed through heavy fire to the edge of the Carranza trenches, but were unable to take them.
 Reinforcement, which had been or dered, were delayed by wreck near Ortiz, and a proposed general offen- sive against the Villa forces did not materialize. After the Corral clash, the garrison at Santa Rosalia was rushed out to guard Jiminez against any attack. In the meantime, 2,OOO troops, including the famous brigade of Domingo Arreta, was sent south to attack the Villa forces which fought General Ramos command. General Garcia, who is in charge of the camnaipn. is keeping in close com munication with General Trevino.
