mat Abilene will get along forever
with the present conditions. The
time has passed when children can
be cooped up in an overcrowded
building, when school can be held
IN easements or when there is not
given real service in facilities of
the schools. If new high school is
not built now it will be built next
year or the year after-for with
the increasing population it must
come. So must come better equip
ment for the Garfield and McKin-
ley schools. The Lincoln school is
the one modern building with all
that school should have. Because
the people have seen what a real
school building is like in the Lin
coin structure they are eager to
have the entire system of the city
measure up to it.
With this readjustment coming
certainly it is good policy to "do it
now and put our school equipment
on a modern basis for the children
we are now educating. Other for
ward-looking cities are doing it
and it is good sense.
improvement is contagious. Abb
lene has had almost a physical re-
generation in its appearance in the
past five years. A new high school,
fully up to the needs of the time.
would mean that the Garfield and
Mckinley buildings would be brought
up to the standard and Abilene
would have an educational equip
ment that would fit our needs and
be the pride of the city.
This is both a social and BUSH
ness proposition and one that the
people of this city cannot overlook.
TO be sure it costs money, but abb
lene cannot afford to be without it.
We cannot afford as citizens to for
go the best service possible for the
boys and girls who are to be the
future citizens of Abilene.
1t will be a fine thing to have
the vote at election show an over
majority for better school
and Abilene will never
cease to be proud of its action. It
will obtain quarter century of
real satisfaction and fruitful ad-
vantage; it will know that so far
as investment can go, it has given
to its children the largest service
and that they will have in suitable.
and well arranged school
buildings the surroundings that
make for healthy, well-informed
and womanhood.
Abilene should be proud to vote
tor the school bonds.

A Distinctive Reason

What is the chief reason for the superb
orty of Royal Baking Powder
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders
This reason, which every woman should
know is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes This means heathful fruit origin.
1t means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders,
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal
Baking Powder.

COUNTY EXPERT TELLS OF
TESTS MADE SHOWING POOR
RESULT FROM FOREIGN CORN

Prof. f. S. Girton, who Is in charge
! of the seed corn testing in Wapello

port on tests made on individual ears
| in twenty-seven counties of the state
for five years, 100 experiments being
made and 1000 ears used:
All 1000 ears, SO per cent strong
termination and 50 per cent stand with
| Weld per acre in bushels, Sc.
OF the best 1000 ears there was
81 per cent strong termination, n
Der cent stand and 60 bushels yield
per acre.
, For the poorest 1000 ears it showed
II per cent strong termination, 81
per cent stand and AZ bushels per
acre.
! On the $4,000 acres of corn in
Wapello county, the difference between
| the poorest 1000 ears and the aver
age would be $4,000 bushels at fifty
! cents per bushel, or $4O6,000
/ where should we get our seed
corn?" he asks, and answers his own
question as follows:
1--WE planted home grown seed. an
average Of $500 samples taken from

one-tenth or $50 samples of the above,

Grain Review

Chicago, March 29.-Wheat made a
fresh advance today, owing to reports
of heavy damage to the winter crop and
because Of unfavorable weather in the
spring crop belt. At first however, the
market underwent a temporary setback
as a result of lower quotations from
Liverpool. According to well known
authority, the general condition of the
domestic winter crop is lower than at
any corresponding time in several years
Opening prices, which ranged from "A
to &c down, with May at $1.121a to y
and July at $1.09k to q, were followed
by rise to more than 1c above yes
terday's finish.
Subsequently, predictions Of 100000
600 bushels yield in Kansas had bear
iSh effect and so, too, did word that
cars of Canadian wheat were headed
to Duluth for storage. Export business
displayed little or no improvement.
The close was unsettled at the same as
yesterdays finish to 81 a Hc lower, with
may at S1.12A and July at $1.10A.
Liberal receipts and the prospect OF
further increase of visible supply total
had a depressing influence on corn.
Rallies in sympathy with wheat We're
not maintained. After opening u to esc
lower, the market scored slight gains
but then relapsed.
Later, transactions gave evidence Of
a pronounced lack Of support. The close
was nervous at 3s@1k to Nc net de-
cline.
Oats swayed with corn. Changes.
though were narrow.
lower prices on hogs carried down
provisions. Not much power to recover
was shown.
