soldiers

flag and the man made his escape.

After the struggle. which lasted half
an hour, the militiamen succeeded in
dispensing the mob, which finally
rounded up at Reservoir park, where
a mass meeting was held.

tered the line were miners.

President John P. White of the
United Mine Workers of America to
take up the matter with President
Wilson on the ground that the men
were deprived of the right of public
assemblage and free speech

Navigation.

A ship at sea is constantly changing
its position on the earth's surface, and
it requires some skill to keep 1t In it's
prescribed path to its destination. The
Oldest navigators were the Phenicians.
These hardy voyagers sailed from one
end of the Mediterranean sea to the
other and out into the open Atlantic
without compass or chart, guided BY
the sun by day and by the Great Dip
per at night. In those days the Dip

LARGE YIELD OF CORN
 NECESSARY TO SUCCESS
Agricultural Experts Say Constant Cultivation is Most Essential
 to Insure Proper Returns.

In emergencies, it may be necessary for some patriots to unyoke the oxen and leave the blow standing in the furrow, but the lasting support of a nation requires efficient patriots to keep the blows going. The soil sup ports the corn; corn supports animals: corn and animals support an army; and "armies fight on their bellies" " Let us properly care for the goose that lays the golden egg.
 Whether corn prices are high or low, the farmers profit depends on obtain ing large acre yields. Large acre |yielGs reduce the expense of both la- Dor and land It is remarkable that acre pields are increasing most rap idly in the states southeast and the states north and west of the corn belt states. These increased yields are largely due to earlier and thicker planting of better seed corn.
 Unnecessary losses from planting poor seed corn are diminishing as 1t becomes more fully realized that neith- CT frosts nor droughts can extermi- nate good acclimated varieties if suf- l ficient seed be saved from good crops to last until another good crop IS ob- tained. Good seed corn will retain its powers of germination and production l for four or five years.
 Assurance of Good Corn Crop.
 In the central and southern states the scarcity of soil moisture in the middle of the summer reduces the corn crop more than all other causes combined The best assurance of a good corn crop is to get moisture into 1 the soil in as large quantities and to as great depths as possible.
 To allow weeds, alfalfa, rye o1 other plants to grow during the spring g upon land to be planted to corn is te i invite failure of the corn crop.
 To allow the soil to become dry enough in the spring before blowing to break up in big clods is to invite failure of the corn crop. If the plow- ing has been delayed until spring, the land should be disked before it has chance to become too drip to blow Disking is more rapid and should be

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, May 23.--Good cables, an urgent spot demand and cold weather in the belt encouraged buy ing of cotton in the early trading here today and caused a rise of 15 to IS points. Reports from the interior continued to mention the blowing up of damaged cotton to make room for food crops.
 The market reacted to level to s points under yesterdays finals un- der bear pressure but following the government weekly crop reports rose strongly to new high levels for the present bull movement Toward noon the active months were 22 to B points over yesterdays close.
 The rise of 62 points in spot quo- tations on total sales Of about 4,509 bales sent it still higher In tn, trading to 30 the active months rose to level of 9 to 36 points over the last quotations of yesterday.
 Cotton closed steady at an advance of to 13 points.

done before the blowing in order to keep the ground from becoming too dry. Deep blowing should not be done in the spring. If followed by drought it causes the land to dry out to greater depths than would result from shallow blowing.
 The main corn planting is now com- pleted in the South. When this main planting begins to form ears, the oc- curence of a drought will ruin the crop unless good supply of moisture has been stored in the subsoil. To reduce the chances of loss from drought, one or more later plantings should be made. Summer croughts gre sometimes broken in time to cause late, plantings to yield we'll. Good seed corn should be in readiness to /, make these later paintings as prompt ly as possible should droughts or 1 floods injure the early plantings.
