SEED CORN TESTS VARY
Peculiar Conditions Found 20 Confront
Farmers in Selection For This Years
crop-Good and Bad Kernels Found
on Same Ear.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Montezuma, April 1.-THE results OF
corn tests made here show that there
Is but one kind of seed that will show
satisfactory test. The corn that was
picked early and thoroughly dried out
tests well. Some corn picked from the
crib tests around 40 per cent good.
reading of the tests reveals many m
teresting facts. One test examined
was where the utmost care had been
taken to keep the kernels from the
butt, the center and the tip OF the ear
separate. Two kernels had been taken
from each part and from opposite
sides of the ear. On one ear all the
kernels had grown strong with the eX-
.ception of one Of the center ones. An
other ear had two very strong tip
kernels while none of the others
sprouted. All kinds Of conditions were
found A prominent farmer studied
the record for a time and finally re-
marked that the conditions would keep
the farmer guessing this year.
One farmer tested some Of his corn
during January. Sometime after the
extreme zero weather he made another
test and found that the seed had
deteriorated fully 20 per cent.
Another farmer had good 1914 seed
corn left over from the 1918 planting.
This corn had been picked early, dried
and well kept. During the season 1t
was hung up where it had good
ventilation. He tested it recently and
found that it would not test over 80
per cent. Many had been relying on
the old seed corn and it is feared that
they will not test it as they should in
the belief that the old corn will grow
ANYWAY.
Some are shipping in little seed
corn but there is plenty around here
if the owners will get busy and test
lit out so that they can show results
from an ear test.

SUPREME COURT REvERsEs
JUDGMENT AWARDED AGAINST
JAMESON.
RULING OF DISTRICT ri
COURT is REVERSED
High Court HoIds Jameson Did Not
Recommend Loan to E. A. Bosss in
Excess Of $4,000, Which Sum Was
Made acknowledgement For $4,000
Set Aside-Bank Loaned Too Much.

Des Moines, April 1.-THE Iowa SUI
preme court yesterday reversed the
$4,000 verdict rendered in the ,Black
Hawk county district court against w.
r. Jameson, president Of the Citizens
Savings Bank, of Waterloo, in suit
brought by the Farmers Savings Bank,
Of Morrison. This was one of the
heaviest verdicts for damages ever Sc
cured in an Iowa court.
The suit is the outcome of the OPP
erations of E. A. Boggs, tombstone
manufacturer Of Waterloo, who failed
with liabilities Of more than $4,000 in
excess of his assets, the opinion re-
cites. Boggs is now serving SEN
tence in an Iowa prison for larceny by
embezzlement. rs
r., Firm Was Recommended.
The opinion recites that the suit was
to recover $50, 900 damages accom-
plished by means of a letter alleged to
have been written by the defendant to
the bank, recommending the Central
Iowa Granite Company. operated by
E. A.. Boggs, as being responsible as
business firm. After the. bank had
loaned $4,000 to the firm that firm be-
came insolvent, having 100000 greater
obligations than assets, the-record
states. The bank sought to recover
the $50 900 from w. r. Jameson, for
having recommended Boggs. In the
lower court a verdict of $4,000 was
rendered against Jameson. He appealed
to the high court.
The court says:
1.-The plaintiff was bank which was
forbidden to loan more than $4,000 to
any one borrower, but from time to
time, after receiving the letter, it
loaned the party so presented 100000.
The borrower is unable to pay"
Bank Loaned Too Much.
The court, holds that the Waterloo
banker did not represent Boggs to be
worth more than $4,000, all Of which
has been repaid. therefore the Morrison
bank has no further claim on him. 1t
says that the Morrison bank should
not have exceeded $4,000 in loans to
Boggs.s & "a, M :

The City Primary.

The most striking, though the most sur prsing result of the city primary Saturday the showing made by James A. Jones who secured first place among the nominees for the city com mission. The remarkable thing is that AIr. Jones hind him, No element supporting him. His sup port was entirely spontaneous It was still the more remarkable, since his personal acquaintance with voters probably less wide than that of any of the other candidates before the people. He was known, generally only among business men and his neighbors who imagine it that his ex- celent qualities widely made known before primary day
 Mir. Jones had taken an active interest in politics. content to attend closely his business of which he had made so much of a He had need of improvement of the city government. It is hoped that the of Jones will encourage other business men of his type to enter the field next year and in all later years When businessmen to look upon Phoenix as a business enterprise and not as mere plaything for politicians and their hceers, will have a model city government
 Every other candidate than Mir. Jones with the exception of Mir Gillett and MT Gibbs had behind him one more concrete elements. In one case there was both party and element. In another there sections of two parties. In the others there less well-organzed support.
 Another extraordinary result of primaries was the fact that the for the mayoraty candi- dates fell lO0 behind the vote cast for the commits sioner candidates in spite of the fact mayor aty fight bitterly waged by the parsans of

0UAYLE DROPS
 GUN IN COURT
Wealthy Rancher, on Trial for Rape, Creates Tense Situation in Navajo Coun- ty Courtroom; is Con victcd
Special to The Republican,

HOLRROOk, March 4.-C. E. Quayle, wealthy rancher of this county, was convicted yesterday of rape upon Eva Dick, eighteen year old employe of the railroad restaurant at Winslow last
 September. The fact that Quayle, sit
 ting in court dropped his iX-shooter
 thereby creating one of the most tense
 of situations. is not thought to have
 influenced the jury in it's decision.
 A dramatic scene was enacted in
 superior court room yesterday when
 C. F. Quayle. seated beside his wife,
 let fall from his hip pocket an ample
 piece of personal artillery. as the final
 argument was being made Movement
 to change the position of his overcoat
 caused he gun to chatter to the floor. Tables and chairs screened the incl
 dent from the jury. although there is q suspicion that two of the jurors had
 q glimpse of it. Judge John A. Ellis, Of MohaVc county, presiding at the trial, saw the gun. COnSternation spread through one side of the court room, al the sight of an armed de- l. lcndG Tt. But the actions of the judge were worthy of his position. Instead of precipitating a panic or of prejudicins ! the jury ty instantly sending an of 1 ficer to disarm Quayle Judge Ellis l calmly permitted the incident to pasc unnoticed. He did not move. although ,n Such case. the presiding judge might be expected to feel some high ] iv mingled emotions
 Quayle slowly and cautiously reached down ard drew the gun up under him 1 He passed it behind his back to his i wife, who secreted it in her coat and i hurried from the room.
 1 QuaYle vas first tried in December tut the jury disagreed. The evidence
 showed that he had been introduced tc 1 his victim under an assumed name and
 as a single man. He had promised tc marry her. QaaYle is married and has

Between Peace and War.

We suppose that most of the people of the United States noticing every day effect of the European war in the country-the creamy tint of their daily newspapers. A very few papers with some of their old stock hand yet the white paper with a slightly blue tint. In other papers of the pages white and of the creamy tint, in The Republican, for instance, showing that the old stock is not quite exhausted but that it is run ming low. But in a few weeks only papers of the creamy tint will be seen in this country or anywhere else outside of Germany. So far the public is cerned this is serious effect of the war. But publishers when they contemplate their higher paper bills and know that they will be still higher the months go by, agree with General Sherman that war is not paradise
