USE 1916 CORN
FOR PLANTING
Barney's Agents Have Dug Up Some
of Two Years Ago That
They Say is
Good.

According to the reports of the in
spectors connected with the office of
w. B. Barney. the state dairy and
food commissioner, there is consid-
cradle amount Of 1916 corn in the
state which will serve for seed corn.
1.-THE people who own this 1915 corn
are in most cases very reasonable in
the prices they ask for it, said Mr..
Barney. Probably In nine cases out
of ten farmer who has corn OF this
kind for sale is willing to sell 1t at
from $500 to $3.50 a bushel. We do
find some fellows who take advantage
of the situation and either refuse alb
solutely to sell their corn or demand
an exorbitant price for it. or course
we have ways OF dealing with these
persons that usually bring them to see
the error Of their ways"
Much of the effort OF the dairy and
food department is devoted to bringing
about an equitable distribution of seed
corn in the various parts of the state.
| In some counties i; is found that
there is a supply sufficient to meet
| the needs with considerable surplus,

Both of these players were great

While Maxwell and Goodrich were

distinction to the Country club among
the women players. Miss Davis cap

in a driving rainstorm. In recent
years Perdew Sheldon, James Matless
and Clarence Dickey have played goo
.olf at several of the state matches,
and Sheldon was runner up to the
state champion one year.
Golf was, during the first years OF
the club, the main and almost the
sole game which was considered
worth while, later croquet and other
games became popular and now al
though golf Is popular, other social
and amusement features have per
haps attracted more attention. The
Saturday night parties patronized
quite largely by the younger set
have been very popular and have
grown to be real events, often as
many as two hundred being present

Macdonald drove his team into the
teeth Of the storm. The wind came In
gusts. Sometimes the gale was so stiff
that the dogs could scarcely crawl for
ward against It; again there were mo-
ments of comparative stiffness. fol-
lowed by squalls that slapped the
driver In the face like the whipping Of
a loose sail on a catboat.
High drifts made the trail difficult
Not once but fifty times Macdonald
left the gee-pOle to break a way
through snow-waves for the sled. The
best he could get out of his dogs was
three miles an hour. and he knew that
there was not another team or driver
in the North could have done so well.
1t was close to noon when he reached
a division Of the road known rs the
Fork. One trail ran down to the river
and up II to the distant creeks The
other led across the divide. struck the
Yukon. and pointed a way TO the coast.
White drifts had long since blotted out
the track Of the sled that had pre-
coded him. Had the fugitives gone up
the river to the creeks with intent to
hole themselves up for the winter? Or
was II their purpose to cross the divide
and 20 out over the ice to the coast?
The pursuer knew that Gid Holt was
wise as weasel. He could follow
blfndfolded the paths that led to every
creek In the gold-fields. 1t might be
taken as certainty that he had not
plunged into such desperate venture
without having plan well worked out
beforehand. Elliot had high grade
Of intelligence. Would they try TO
reach the coast and make their get

themselves In till the heavy SHOWS
were past and come back to civiliza-
| ton with the story Of a lucky strike to
account for the gold they brought with
them? Neither gold dust nor nuggets
could be identified. There would be
no way Of proving the story false. The
only evidence against them would be
that they had left at Kusiak and this
was mefely Of a corroborative kind.
