JUNE CORN IS BEST.

June sown sweet corn gives the best quality, according to many expert gardeners who maintain that the very highest quality is not attained in the earlier sown plantings, delicious tho they may be. However, the ear Her sowings are necessary to extend the season and give sweet corn for more than fieeting two weeks or so.
 Corn planting in June gets faster start because of the warmer weather and grows more rapidly than the ear Her planted corn, the young plant developing under ideal temperature conditions, which is also another req son why June corn is likely to have finer ears and of better quality.
 Never plant corn in single row for best results. Plant it in squares Sd that the wind will give free and ever distribution of pollen and thus produce fuller ears.
 It took ten years for people to be- come fee0Aciled to yellow sweet corn Now they don't want anything else since Golden Bantam has forced it's worth upon everybody who likes sweet corn with it's sugary quality, conven- tent sized ears, and certainty to crop There are about four standard corns Golden Bantam, Rowling Mob, Coun. try Gentlen,an and Stowell's Ever green, all fine in quality and having their good points in size of cob anc season of growth. The development now is in crosses with Golden Bantam and these old-time favorites and some fine varieties have heen secured s=;;ttls s=;;ttls greater size of cob, but nobody can gs wrong on Golden Bantam for a sure crop. It is good plan to try some of the. newer varieties which may talk. more kindly to the soil and conditions in your garden.

 Uncle Joe Ferguson is and always has been outspokenly for the suffrage of women, and he says he has never yet found himself in a place to take sides for man against a woman. And on his invitation, the one woman in our party held in her hands at one time all the money in the state treas ury of Arkansas-not so much, as state treasuries go, but pretty lit- tie fortune at that.

Salina, Kas., June 19.-Rev. M. M. Stoltz, librarian at the Kansas Wes- leyan university, has received from Frederick Brorson, a graduate of the school, some relies from the ruins of Mesa Verde, in the National Park, which will be placed in the university museum. Among them are some corn, corn cobs and beans that were taken from between rocks where scientists say they have been for nine hundred years. The cobs look as if they had been picked this year and the corn and beans are in a perfect state of preservation.
 Dr. Stoltz has planted some of the corn and beans and he declares that he believes they will sprout and grow.

 The first result has been an alarm ing shortage of ministers and stud ents for the ministry. Theological seminaries are only half filled and hundreds of pulpits are vacant. Churchmen are faced with the prob. lem of filling five thousand expected vacancies with only 1,500 seminary graduates.
 Tt is the new spirit of material ism," MT. Hill said. Young persons are attracted to gainful pursuits rather than the ministry and schools of all denominations have suffered alike.r

NEW YORK CITY. Nov. What is 10 become of historic British ghosts, now that so many English castles and manor houses are being torn down or sold at auction to phebian newcomers?
 This question is deeply agitating the British Society for PsychicaI Re search, which has long been engaged in the scientific investigation of such old established family ghosts. In the breaking up of famous old English estates it seems the end of a valuable source of material. The ghosts, it believes, will disappear af- ter the castles of manors have changed hands and undergone elab- crate remodeling.
 Family ghosts" says one auth ority on the subject, "are by no means of a wandering disposition. Having established a reputation by haunting one particular house they stay there. Some ghosts as ancient family legends inform us. have haun- ted one house for centuries. never appearing anywhere else.
 And now that such haunted houses are being auctioued, sold and torn down, what will the poor ghosts do? They may find new homes to haunt modem lysCrapers. apartment houses and freshly painted green and pink studious-but there will not be any secret passages in which to clani chains, nor ivy-clad turrets to par ade around. and no myterious win- doWs to fit across in the moon light.

 Take the case of Windsor Castle. v continues this authority. which has housed several prominent ghosts, in cluding Queen Bess herself.

He declared it suddenly appeared and glided along in front of him. van ishing through a certain part of the wall in a room at the end of the cor ridor. Investigation showed that three centuries before there had been door, since sealed. at that very spot.
 That is the structure where the ghosts of the quarrelsome but beau tiful Duchess of Cleveland. the saucy tongued Dutchess of Mazarin and the unhappy Catherine Howard, slain by Henry VIII, are said to have been seen.

 Parade Arrangements
 Interest is growing by leaps and bounds in the big Armistice Day parade, as indicated by the large number of concerns which have sig nified their intention of participating. Tn addition to those mentioned in yesterdays Republican. the parade committee announced today that the following would be fittingly repre- scented. Phoenix Tent and Awning Co, Berryhills, Barrows Furniture Co, Sheldon Auto Top Co, Caldwell Auto Top Cc., Arizona Bottling Works.
 The Automobile Dealers associa- ton is planning a creditable turn out and every member is reported as cooperating to the fullest extent. One of the unique features of the auto dealers section will be an auto Pullman, a veritabIe house on tires. providing every possible convenience to the auto tourist. This car was manufactured in Phoenix by the Harry Jones Blacksmithing works.

 Ready for Exhibitors
 The big tent will be ready for the placing of exhibits today. it was an- nounced. Owing to the fact that the frames for the booth fronts were manufactured locally instead of being sent from Los Angeles, an extra day was required for the painters, and this has caused the slight delay to the exhibitors.
 More Funds Needed
 Lack of interest in the enterprise on She par of some is holding back the solicitors for the guarantee fund in their endeavor to raise an amount sufficient to guarantee a high class attraction staged in a metropolitan way. Only a few names were added to the guarantee fund list yestedray. They are: Phoenix Tent and Awning Co, Perry M. Williams. O. S.
