Three women appear on the list

corn should be harvested and saw
ed. The best ears will make fairly
good seed, and nearly everyone
knows the enjoyment in parched
sweet corn.
Sweet corn spoils much more
quickly than field corn, and can
not readily be cured in large
shocks, but should be husked from
the stalk and spread thinly on
staging to cure. A convenient way
of storing sweet corn is on the ear.

Farmers May Unite With Labor
Rumors have been current in
Washington that the organized .
farmers are to effect a working
agreement with the forces of or
ganized labor.
These rumors were partially con-
firmed when Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, invited leaders of
farm organizations to meet for the
purpose of formulating policy.
The plan, it was stated, is to have
farmers from every section of each
State meet an equal number of
organized labor delegates before
the close of the present year. In
the meantime the farm leaders
agree to study labor problems
while the labor leaders promise to
pay attention to agricultural ques-
tions, with a view to determining
whether there is any prospect of
establishing a working agreement
for the benefit of each.

rains which we'll on Saturday and sun
day over the entire Mississippi valley and
which undoubtedly has further delayed
new crop preparations, the temper OF
the local trade has been against the mar
ket on account of the feeling that there
might be a hitch over the peace treaty
in Paris. This idea was eased by the
absence of the President from the confer
ence yesterday afternoon. Therefore
there was heavy realizing and some short
selling on the part of recent buyers, on
the theory that any disturbance in the
present movement toward peace would
bring about a further reaction after the
recent sharp advance. There seems to be
a better feeling in the goods market, but
on the other hand the basis in the south
is reported to have declined at the time
of the advance in this market. In other
words, it was felt that cotton had
reached "a point where the south was
again willing to sell.-Hubbard Bros. &
