work. At the time of the better seed
campaign, 100 bushels of corn was
distributed to $50 farmers and 100 bu-
shells of Iowa No. 103 oats to ffty-one

that this improved oats seed yielded
twenty-five bushels more grain to the
acre than the common variety along

Some OF the other activities Of the

WIDOW WILL NEVER KNOW
 WHO RECEIVED THE JEWELS

Assume, or try to assume, ladies, the men tai attitude of Mrs. Charles 1. Hills of Eliza beth, N J., says the New York World Her husband president of an electrical manu- featuring company of this city, died in April, 1915, leaving her an estate of about s5O0,- 900. About month ago Mrs Hills, tidying Up some precious possessions in her home at Elizabeth, became fascinated in the perusaI of stack of cancelled checks among her husbands effects Two of these checks seemed to stand out from the others. Each was for $2,475, each was dated December l, 1914, and each was made out to the firm of Cartier of Mo- TIP Fifth avenue, Manhattan
 Mrs Hills, wondering on what her hus- band had laid out $4,95O three weeks or so before Christmas, peeped into the directory. She saw Carriers place was definitely and exclusively identified with the sale of jew elry And as Mrs Hills had not, on CT about December l, 1914, or December 9, 1915, or on any day thereabouts, received anything Ike any of Carriers wares, she was seized with whimsical desire to find out who had received the equipment.
 So, to put the matter under the legal X-ray, she visited Edward Maxson lawyer, asking him to go into the thing and dig it all out, or up Mir. Maxscn began proceed ings through Surrogate Fowler to have Car tier, or somebody from that place, disclose what it was that MT. Hills bought S4,950 of and to whom that, whatever it was, was sent.
 Surrogate Cohalan, to whom the matter was transferred, heard argument on the petition for discovery" After Maxson had spoken, the attorney for Cartier, who was accompanied by Victor Dautiemon, man. ager of the concern, declared it would be against public policy to reveal such facts
 This is reputable concern, of the class of other prominent establishments" said the attorney. In closing his argument the Cartier counsel said no first class jewellers asked their patrons to explain their pur chases
 It might interfere with the sales" re- marked the surrogate, who, when the at torneys had finished, dismissed the proceed ing on the ground that the transaction had been closed prior to Mir. Hills death and that there was no further justification for ordering Cartier to open the books

ReveIIe Is Awarded Whole Claim

By virtue of decision just rendered by Secretary of the Interior Lane, "Colonel'' H. E. Revelle of Seward, who is the con
 tractor on the Seward Iditarod mail route, has been awarded a patent to homestead of 320 acres which has been in dispute for several years. Revelle was the first settler on Resurrection bay, having taken up a homestead of 320 acres in 1903. Subse
 quently he applied for patent thereto Ob jection was made to his entry, fraud being alleged The Juneau land office officials heard the case and, while they were satis
 fled that the allegations of fraud probably had some merit, 1t was their opinion that they applied, if at all to only 285 acres of the tract, leaving 35 acres which Revelle should receive title to, and so held. The viewed by the commissioner of the gen eral land office at Washington, by whom the ruling of the Juneau land office was re- versed, the commissioner holding that if fraud entered into the transaction it would be applicable to the entire tract, and that the applicant should not receive title to any portion thereof From this decision of the commissioner the matter was carried to the secretary of the interior, and in his re- view of the case he overruled the opinion cf the commissioner and sustained the de- ciSion of the Juneau office. While the mat ter was pending before the secretary of the interior further showing was allowed to be made by the applicant, which resulted in Revelle being awarded a patent to the entire homestead of 320 acres
