SEED CORN TINE NEARS:
SEPTEMBER 1890 THE DATES

Minnesota, once regarded as q no-cOrn
state, now ranks eighth among the
state Of the union In the number of
bushels OF corn produced annually. In
the last decade the production OF corn
in Minnesota has been doubled ~
Striking progress like this Is not the
result Of chance. There is q reason
for it and, in this case, the reason is

Seed corn selection, as preached bys
the Minnesota Agricu lturaI College
and practiced by the progressive farm
ers of Minnesota, has played large
part in the wonderful corn growing
record made in the state. Seed corn Sc
lection has helped to extend the corn;
belt from the southeast corner Of the
state to the very extreme northwest
corner. It has improved the quality Of
the corn as well as the acre yield, and
has aided In building up the livestock.

cleared up the mysterious whispers
that we all had heard would also be

ment the evening before and her con-

wondered If the explanations she had
offered had been the truth. Was she
really trying TO locate the source of
the whispers? / looked interestedly
up at the section of the wall that I
had found her inspecting. What had
she hoped to discover there?
l decided to make a close lnspec-

lighted up the sitting room and hall
for this purpose, something unusual
came 10 my notice that had hitherto
escaped me enturely.

to believe the evidence my eyes had
given me. In these modern days Of

warded.

them off, carefully checking my figures

A SECRET PASSAGE.

synopsis.-Spalding Nelson is oc-
cupying the apartments of his
great-uncle. Rufus CASTOR. The
Gastons, leaving on a trip, tell him
about mysterious noises and "whis-
pers' that have scared them. He
becomes acquainted with Barbara
Bradford, who lives In the same
big building. He instinctively dis
likes and distrusts the superintend-
ent, Wick. The mysteries in his
apartments begin with the disap-
pearance OF the Castor pearls from
the wall safe. He decides not to
call in the police. but to do his own
investigating. 1t is soon evident
that someone has access TO his
rooms. Becoming friendly with
Barbara, he learns that her apart
ments are equally mysterious. She
tells him that several years before
her sister Claire, who lives with
her, had made a runaway mar
riage with an adventurer. from
whom she was soon parted, and the
marriage had been annulled. Claire
Is engaged to be married and some
one has stolen documents concern
Ing the affair from the Bradford
apartment and is attempting to
blackmail the Bradfords. Nelson
takes Miss Kelly, the telephone
girl, TO dinner with the idea of
pumping her. German, a hotel de-
tective, recognizes her as the wife
Of Lefty Moore, a noted burglar.
Nelson tells his story to German.
