''SELDOV|A NAMEOFF"
 HAS A HOME
Orphan Thrust Aboard Boat at Western Port
 With "Ten Spot"

In the Kodiak Baptist Orphanage News Letter, arriving from the west ward on the Admiral Evans, appears the following well told story of little "Seldovia Nameof," now an inmate of the institution on Wood Island, near Kodiak:
 When the steamer Admiral Evans arrived in Sept. We were informed that there was a child on board for the orphanage. It proved 70 be lit tie girl about four years old. She was in the care of the stewardess. And the following is all that could be learned about the child.
 Just as the boat was leaving the dock at Seldovia a man rushed up with the child in his arms and hand ed her over the rail to one of the pas sengerS saying, "she is an orphan for the mission at Wood Island" With the child he handed $10 to pay her passage. The man who received her happened to be U. s. Deputy Marshal Brenneman. He turned the little one over to the stewardess, who, with the assistance of one of the lady pas sengers, cared for her till the steam CT arrived at Kodiak when she was handed over to Supt. Learn.
 It was expected, of course, that there would be letter concerning her, but in this we were disappointed. Although the child can talk, no ques- tioning, no matter how Skillful, has been successful in getting her to tell her name.
 For six weeks or more we called her baby" but as she is older and larg- CT than Katherine, whom she calls "That one" it seemed so inappropriate to call her baby that we named her Seldovia Nameoff, which sounds sui ficiently native to go with her little round, brown face.
 When told her new name she was very proud and happy. She would go to the other girls and in her sweet little voice say "Seldovia Nameotf me-" pointing proudly to herself.
 She is a plump little lass with black hair, dErk skin and drak brown and rather small eyes.
 Since her first day at the orphan age, when she asked few times "where mama?" there has been no question or any reference in her chat ter to her past life. It seems as much of blank to her as it is to us' She is very happy and contented in her new home. And is daily adding weight to her already heavy little body.
 Perhaps some day we will learn something of her history before she came to the orphanage.

WHEAT YIELDS
.$lO6.77 AN ACRE
CLARENCE HALL SELLS CROP
FOR $3,s47; OATS AVERAGE
$3.50.

Wapello county bids fair to come in
to its own this year if the showing in
small grain harvested recently by Clar-
ence Hall at Eldon is to be taken as
criterion of the balance of the coun-
ty. Should corn show up in keeping
with Mr.. Halls wheat and oats crops,
then the county will surely take a
stand in the front rank Of agricultural
counties for acre yield and prices re-
ceived for crops. His wheat brought
$106.77 per acre and oats $3.50 per
acre.
Clarence Hall is son OF former su.
pervisor and Mrs. John w. Hall of OF
tumwa. He owns farm of valuable
river bottom land across from Eldon
and had sixty-nine acres In wheat and
oats.
After threshing Mr.. Hall lept out
500 bushels of oats and seventy-seven
bushels of wheat for seed. He sold
the remainder to the Eldon Elevator
for $3,s4795.
The farmer can best appreciate what
this means and the work of the state
college extension division in urging all
to provide for seed wheat, makes it
look like small grain will be given
some attention next year. Mr.. Hall
has another farm near Fairfield and
his father states that his corn prospect
unless unfavorable weather interferes,
Is almost as flattering as the results
obtained from the wheat and oats.
The Halls are farmers who believe
in modern farming, can work them
selves and will hire men when neces
sary to handle the crop.

CENTRlST LEADERS ABANDON
FIGHT FOR GOVERNMENTAL
IMPROVEMENT.

Berlin. Aug. 10.-(via London, Aug
Ibis the Catholic centrist party re
ceding from its attitude taken in re
/: spect to parliamentary reforms in the
course of the present cabinet crisis
This query has been suggested by
the decision of Dr. Peter Spain, lead
err sof the party in the reichstag, not
to seek reelection to the reichstag,
the post of Prussian minister of
Justice With that appointment his
membership in the reichstag auto
matically expired by constitutional
provision but he is privileged to go
before the voters and seek reelection.
ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT.
In section Of the press and in his
own party it was taken for granted
he would continue as party leader in
the reichstag as his reelection was
assured. Germania. organ of the cen.
trist party, now is authorized to an
nounce that Dr.. Spain will not be a
candidate. This has removed one Of
the parliamentarians from the Pru-
sian ministry and bundesrat, as DIR.
SPAIN in the capacity Of minister Of
justice also qualities for membership
in the federal council.
His action for the time being makes
1t unnecessary to change the imperial
constitution which does not permit
membership in the
bundesrat and the reichstag and also
possession of the reicbstag mandate
while holding a governmental posi-.
tion.
sCHiFFER QUITS REIcHsTAG.
Dr. Schiller, one Of the national lib
under secretary of the imperial
finance ministry. also will not seek
reelection to the reichstag. Germania
says:
ITO return to the question of the
parliamentarization Of the government
we all know today how far responsible
advisors of the crown have proceeded
and may recognize in the present ac
complishment the limits to which they
propose to go. We need not reiterate
that these limits coincide with what
the centrist party deemed desirable
and aimed to achieve"
RADICALS NO LONGER.
The Tageblatt concludes from Ger.
mania's comment that the centrist
party Is wholly in accord with the
parliamentarization undertaken by
Chancellor Michaelis in the recon
struction of the government The
socialist organ Vorwaerts observes
that DR.. SPAIN and DR.. Schiller, whose
reichstag memberships now have ex.
pired. were representatives Of the peo.
pie but now have become. officials. and
says:
Greek mythology relates that &C.
casionally mortals were also received
in Olympus and as half gods permit
ted to eat ambrosia with immortals.
The gentlemen Of the bureaucratic
Olympus seem to have this custom in
mind. Occasionally they honor the
lesser race Of parliamentarians by
elevating one Of its members to their
rank but the chosen one then ceases
10 be parliamentarian as though he !
suddenly became too exclusive for !
such purpose. /
