some 40 to 90, 900 farmers. This
means that to plant the average
mans 40 acres only eight or nine
bushels of tested seed are needed.
1t usually takes a little less than
two hours to test bushel of corn,
hence only some I8 hours are re-
quired to make the test for the eight
or nine bushels required. This
may be most prohtably done right
now, while there is somewhat of a
dearth of other duties, and when it
is considered that this simple pro-
cess alone will add more than 500
to his annual income, or more than
$3.50 an acre, it appeals to the
thinking and progressive farmer as
being worth while.
The sand box, or sawdust germ
inator, is probably the easiest and
most satisfactory termination pro-
cess available. For this a box
about four inches deep and thirty
inches square is the most practical.
Some two inches of sand or saw
dust should be put in the bottom
to hold the moisture, and keep
water from standing around the
corn. A piece of cotton flannel or
old sheeting, should be stretched
over the surface after being mark
ed off in two inch squares number
ed. Put six kernels from each ear,
in a square. Thoroughly dampen
and cover, first with two layers of
the cloth, then with glass or Oil
cloth to prevent evaporation. Keep
at about so degrees for six days.
Then open and cast away all ears,
the six grains of which failed to.
produce vital sprout.

THE WINNER.

1t isn't the chap at the top of the heap
Who scores the supremest success;
There's a triumph fine for the valiant who keep
Right at it through hardest duress.
The levy that failure repeated collects
May use no the average grit
But, victor vanquished, the whole world respects
The man who .afuses TO quit.
1t matters not much at the end of the way.
The height or the shine of the goal,
But how, when the going was gloomy and gray,
Did he meet the demands on his soul?
Did he wilt under pressure end dodge and evade?
1t is that the Recorder has writ?
Or is it accounted of him that "He Paid?'-
An immortal who just wouldn't quit
1t isn't the winning that captures the prize
In the court of the final DEGREES
Which sits somewhere up In the ultimate skies
And all of the evidence sees
But comes he with hands that are honestly clean,
With soul that is passaby fit?
And would he had things with him otherwise been,
Belong to the staunch Never-Quit?
Mere losing is never condemned at the throne
OF the Powers that our destiny plan
But did he, determined, reliant alone,
Play ever the part of the man?
It's the manner of striving that judgment directs
Results scarcely matter a Bit
God himself joins with men in sncerest respect
For the chap that refuses to quit.

Because,'r said Mlnof, with a tri- unphant smile though it was a shot in the dark, "yOu already had a hus- band when those letters were written to you."
 Well, he had done bis best. A rather childish effort, but what else was there to attempt? Poor old Jephson!
 "Nonsense," said the G0iety lady, and continued to play. "Nothing of the sort" MinOt replied. 'Why, I can produce the man myself"
 Might as well go the limit while he was about 1t. That should be his con- solution when Jephson lost Might as well-but what was this?
 Gabrielle Rose had turned liyid with anger. Her lips twitched, her china blue eyes flashed fire. If only her law. yer had been by her side then! But he wasn't. And so she cried hOtly:

 Good Lord! Minot felt his knees weaken. A shot in the dark had hit the target after all?
 If you refer to your husband" said Minot, "he has done Just that"
 He's not my husband" she snapped.
 Oh, what was the use? Providence was with Jephson.
 No, of course not-not since the d. vorce," MIinot answered. But he was when those letters were written"

Dcra Keen, the famous mountain climUeI, who passed through Skag- way enroute to her home ini Phila- de!phia four years ago, and who re- cently married George William Han dy, of Mccarthy, Alaska, who accom- panied her in her great climb of Mount Blackburn, has an article in the October Scribner describing an ascent of the difficult Giants Tooth in the Alaskan Alps. It is a vivid narrative of adventure, and you can not help admiring the pluck land splendid 1courage that inspired such an effort. .Thcre are Some fine photographic illustrations She wIitos: But there was a rest ir the combat, ch; llenge to will power and tactics, as well as to endurance and muscle, in that seemingly inac- cessable summit. There was the thrill of adventure in every step, and with every foot won a sense of accomplishment, 9, new conscious- ness of power, which brought confi- dence and strength for the fray.

 It was at this instant that MT. Minot, looking past the Gaiety lady's beautiful golden colfture, beheld Miss Cynthia Mcyrick standing in the doorway of that parlor, smile on her face. She disappeared on the instant but Gabri- ellie Roses "big scene" was ruined be- yond repair

"Really, it was so tactless of me, MT. Minot," she said. "A thousand apOl. ogies"
 He pretended not to understand.
 "My untlmely descent on the parlOr." She beamed on him. 'T presume 1t happened because romance draws me like magnet. Even other peoples"
 Minot smiled wanly, and for once sought to end their talk.
 "Oh, do sit Gown just a moment" she pleaded. 1T want to thank you for the great service you did Narrowly and me-last night"
 "Wha-what service" asked, MinOt sinking into a chair. r She leaned close and spoke in whisper.
 "Your part in the kidnapping. liar rowby has told me. It was sweet of you, so unselfish."
 "Fiercew thought Minot. And then he thought two more.
 "To put yourself out that our we'd ding may be success!' Was this sarcasm, Mlnot wondered. I'm so glad to know about 1t, MT. Minot. It shows me at last-just what you think is"-she looked away-"best for me-"
 Best for you? What do you meanT
 Cant you understand? From some things you've said 1 have thought perhaps-you didn't just approve of my-marriage. And now I see 1 mis- construed yOu-utterly. You want me to marry Narrowly. You're working for it. I shouldn't be surprised if you were on that train last Monday just to make sure-I'd-get herc-safely."
 Really, 1t was inhunan. Did she realize how Inhuman it was? One glance at AIinot might have told her But she was still looking away.
 "So I want to thank you. Mir. NIinot" she went on. "I shall always remem Der yOur-kindness. I couldn't under stand at first, but nOw-I wonder? You know. it's an old theory that as soon as one has ones own affair of the heart arranged one begins to plan for oth ers?"
 AGinot made little whiStling sound through his clonched teeth The girl stood up.

 She was gone! Minot sat swearing softly to himself. banging the arm of his chair with his fist He ragged at Thackcr. JcphSCn, the solar system. Gradually his anger cooled.

Baron Shibusawa.

they would provide the brains as we'll.
The suggestion was sort of second
edition of one which Count Okuma
made to England year before when
he threw out the idea that the Anglo
japanese alliance should become an
economic as well as n military pact.
He made practically the same PROPOSE
tion-"Japan has the experience, Eng
land has the cash"-but the Britishers
came to the conclusion without any
special delay that they had enough
brains to exploit China with their own
money If they wanted.
Lived in TWO Worlds.
Like every old roan in Japan, Baron
Shibusawa has lived in two words
n world of feudalism and two-sworded
samurai and the present world of.
among other things, banks and limited
companies. He entered tire govern
ment service under the old regime
while the emperor who died three years
ago was still virtually recluse in
Kyoto and the empire was ruled Dy the
Tokugawa Shoguns. Shibusawa's first
mission out of Japan was an education
al trip to Europe with one of the Sho-
guns sons who did not dream that his
family's tenure of the sovereignty of
Japan was over. This was in 1S67-6S
when Andrew Johnson was president
of the United States in the interval
between Lincoln's assassination and
Grants election. He returned and went
Into the government after the upset of
Shogunate and was an official until
1873 when he resigned over a differ
ence with the finance minister of the
day and never entered politics again.
Instead, he founded the First bank, so
called because 1t was the first bank in
Japan on modern lines. That was AZ
years ago and In that long time Baron
Shibusawa moved on from one tinan-
cial success to another until In 1909
he was president of 70 concerns. When
he started the First bank its capital
was a million and a quarter dollars
borrowed money-now 1t is ten and
three-quartcr million dollars, or If re-
serve fund is counted in-fifteen NIL
lion.
This is not the first time that the
baron has thought of retiring. In 1901
he was Ill and not knowing whether
he would live, made will in which he
named as successor in the presidency
of the First bank. Mr.. Yunoshine Sa-
saki, the manager who now actually
he was again Ill and he resigned from
many of his positions, but picked them
all up again when he recuperated. His

last resignation was in 1909 when he
quit all his presidential chairs ex-
cept that of the bank.
Why He Resigned.
Interviewed as to his reasons for re-
tirement the baron said: "The child
Is grown and able to walk by himself"
meaning that japanese finance was
now so advanced that his influence is
no longer needed. But even now 1t does
not seem quite clear that the veteran
intends really to cut himself adrift
from the world where his long life has
been spent, for he added that he would
still contribute to the commercial and
Industrial interests of the nation be-
side taking an active part In work for
better understanding between Japan
and other countries. When the Kokusai
News agency was founded three years
ago in order to disseminate the true
truth" about Japan by cables and news,
the baron became president of the COM
pany, post he still holds. This COM
pany owns the Japan Times and Japan
Daily Mall two newspapers printed in
English in Toxic, and controls the Reu-
ter cable service. both inward and out
ward from Japan.
His retirement gives rise to the ques-
ton of who will be his successor as
leader of the financial world of Japan.
There is no single man in sight who is
big enough to fill his chair. The can
dldates with the best chance are
thought to be Mr.. X. Nakano, president
of the Toxic chamber of commerce /;
Mr.. R. Fujuyama, vice president of
the same body. and Mr.. S. Ohashi. who
was vice president until last year.

HIS MOTHER CAME FIRST
Fiancee of Illinois Militiaman Had to
Wait Outside the Camp
Grounds.

While the mobilization of certain
Illinois regiment was under way wom-
en- in the persons of relatives and
friends of the Guurdsmen flocked to
the camp In such numbers that neces-
sary work was hampered. Thereupon
1t is reported, the colonel issued or
ders that only one woman should be
allowed to visit ench member of the
regiment.
One of the Guardsmen, not yet
knowing of the order, approached the
camp in company with his mother, a
sister and his fancee. The guard
stopped the party and sternly asked
who the women were. When told he
answered:
"You can take in only one. It's up
to you to choose"
The young man looked for mo-
ment at the three, and then said,
mother"
When war is in the air humanity
gets down to fundamentals, and when
this is done mother whl never get
the worst of 1t. We do not believe
that the young Guardsman will make
a worse husband than If he had chosen
his sweetheart. A man who can ap-
preciate his mother may be expected
to take good care of his wife.
