CORN GROWING.

There are certain fundamental re-
Iuirements in moisture, heat, and fer
ility which everywhere govern corn
Yields. A change in the supply of one
varies with the amount Of heat avail
able. Thus, the moisture requirement
may make a change in another advis-
able. In addition to water and heat,
soil fertility and seed must also be re-
garded among the chief essentials.
No one of these can be said to be OF
more Importance than the other.
Where all are abundant except, one
Gas water, for example) this one be-
comes the lVliting factor and meth
DDS of supplying it becomes the i'm
portant means of increasing the yield
In short, the secret of successful corn
culture is. to maintain a proper bal
ance Of moisture, heat and fertility.

Mayor Gill and number OF other
Seattle officials have been indicted by
a grand jury in the federal court on a
charge OF accepting brides in liquor
cases. OF course all hands are violently
indignant and loudly denying all guilt
All have given bonds to appear at the
trial and express no apprenensions as
to the final outcome. 1t would appear
incredible that Mayor Gill would be
mixed up in any way in accepting
brides from bootleggers, considering
the zeal that he has displayed in his
war against illicit liquor sales, a zeal
that reached almost if not quite the
verge of criminality in wholesale de-
|struction of property, destruction
that seemed altogether unnecessary.
The charges OF wrong doing may
prove to be only instigated by revenge
on the part of those who were made to
suffer through the enforcement of the
law, and the accused cleared of all
guilt. Mayor Gill always appeared to
is as too shrewd an individual to put
.imself in the power OF criminals.

Copenhagen, Aug. 20.-The German
foreign officers are not yet ready to an
nounce the governments standpoint on
the pope's peace proposals n an an
swer probably be delayed considerably
while the four central powers are en-
d~eaNoring to reconcile somewhat di-
vergent views and interests regarding
peace. A cordial article in the Cologne
Gazette perhaps pressages the German
point of view by declaring it is the duty
of all governments to support any eff
fort at honorable meditation.
1t is evident that Austria-Hungary
will throw its full weight in favor of
an affirmative answer to the pope's
welcome proposal, just as Bulgaria will
fatty and vehemently oppose n ac-
ceptance of the return of occupied
areas.
While the Germania. as
befits its representative Catholic char
acter, is decidedly optimistic regarding
the prospects for tangible results, most
papers are rather skeptical as TO the
chances that it will lead to any thing
in the immediate future. At least pam
German papers insist that peace on the
proposed basis is utterly impossible.
The Berlin Tages Zeitung. i'll its com
ment says the evacuation Of Belgium
n all occupied rigious OF France is
impossible, just because independent
Belgium henceforth would be an irrec-
oncilable enemy of Germany and it
must be su~bordinated TO the security
of Germany's frontiers. Eve the plan
of the former Gernlan chancellor, DR..
Won Bethmann-Holweg, for a polish
protectorate, is rejected because the
Poles have shown themselves ungrat.

the number of killed at about $50. but

A relief train arrived from Montreal
at noon bringing doctors and nurses,
but owing to the fierce heat from the
burning ruins of the plant they were
unable to approach. No death list can
be obtained until the ruins COO.
The loss in the value of buildings and
stock will reach well up into millions.
The first explosion was caused by the
overheating of the machinery in the
nitric acid building. The flames leaped
along through the building and another
explosion occurred. Most of the work.

ample time to escape.

AGED WOMAN CHAMPION
WALKER IN HER GLASS

Garretson. S. D., Aug. 1S.-Mrs. Ole.
Larson, aged so, mother of Arne II
Gunder Larson, well known residents of
~Garretson, is the champion woman
walker of her age in South laakota SO
far as the records disclose. She can
walk distances which would exhaust
many persons half her age. Exercise
of this kind has no terrors Or her. The
other day she decided She wanted to go
to Sherman and, instead of asking to
be taken there in an automobile which.
always is at her disposal, she started
out on foot and walked the four miles.
When she had looked after the matter
that took her to Sherman, h walked
the four miles back to her home, maxi
ing eight miles on one journey. She
apparently was not exhausted in the
least. On another occasion h sud-
denly took a notion that h wanted to
visit some old friends living five miles
out in the country, SO she struck out
and walked the distance. After her
visit was concluded, she made the re-
turn journey of five miles to her home.
