the champion corn exhibitor OF
Delaware. II not OF the Delmarvia
Peninsula. Last week at the Mary
land state Corn Show, held at Fred
erick in the open competitions oil

large number of corn growers from

championship on ten ears of yellow
corn, first and championship on
twenty ears OF white corn. In the
mixed corn class. Mr.. Trimble also
won first prize and he took third
place on his single ear entry. Not
before in sixteen years Of the Corn
Growers Association has one ex-
hibitor won as many prizes, cham
pionships and sweepstakes in as
many different classes and with the
three colors of corn shown.
These winnings OF Mr. Trmble are
not the result of accident but are
based on several years OF breeding
and selection Of improved seed corn

the facts in connection with Mr.
Trimble's success as an exhibition Is
the small acreage from which he
secures his show ears. His prize

produced from only one acre of
corn. Ordinarily an exhibitor re-
dulres from ten to fifty acres from
which to select as high a class an
exhibit at Mr.. Trimble showed.

Raise Distress Signal

One of the chief protestants against the So
called Tarafa bill for the consolidation of Gu.
ban railroads is the American Sugar Refining
company, whose protest has been filed with the
American state department, the company de-
claring that the proposal law" would unjustly
operate to confiscate the property and property
rights of the protestant and that the same is
discriminatory and constitutes an arbitrary tax
ing of the property of the protestant without
just compensation. "The company must admit
that the secretary has dealt justly In the matter.
Press reports say that cit is authoritatively
learned that the Tarafa interests have adopted
a compromising attitude, and will probably
agree to the contention of the sugar companies
on all disputed points"
The American Sugar Refining company is one
among other American concerns which raise
sugar in Cuba and refine it in this country.
while as n side line spending large sums of
money In propagandizing against protection on
sugar. OF course if they could get free sugar
they could reap additional profits and drive
the Louisiana and beet sugar men out of the
market. We would not get our sugar any cheaper,
be assured, If they succeeded in this enterprise.
In fact, with the American source of supply
killed off, the Cuban sugar would have the mon
opoly and the price would go up. Despite the
widely advertised assertion of these seaboard re.
filming companies that the tariff law adds two
cents a pound to the price of sugar, the house
wife would not get the benefit of a two cent re
duction should sugar come in free. But the
sugar companies that grow their raw sugar in
Cuba and refine it here, are mighty glad to get
the support of the American government when
their interests in Cuba are threatened.

Let 1t Be Helpful Criticism

In n letter to n southern editor, President
Coolidge points out that constructive criticism
does not accomplish its purpose by merely call
ing attention to that which is evil. at must not
fail to direct attention, with more emphasis, to
that which is good"
The remark applies with equal force to radi-
cal and Democratic editors who conceive it their
duty to pick flaws in the present Republican
national administration If they do not like the
way things have been done at Washington, let
them suggest other means for producing better
results.
Former President Wilson vetoed the budget
bill, which was afterward made law by a Re
greater financial success than the budget law
has proved to be? Allied with its administration
have been the cooperative purchases and use
of supplies by the government departments, from
which millions of dollars of savings have been
realized. What would the Democrats substitute
for that system?
The Republican tariff law has brought in more
revenue than any other tariff in the history of
the country, while not interfering with the flow
OF foreign commerce. How would the Democrats
accomplish n more satisfactory result?
Would they change the foreign policy by as
some of the entanglements that the in.
ternationalists are urging? If so, the people
would like to know it.
In leveling their attacks at the Republican
record in the future let Democratic editors make
other suggestions that they think are as good or
better. Let them follow President Ooolidae's
advice and devote their energies to the improve
ment of the public service rather than to mere
abuse of the party in power.

To AmeIiorate Japan's Distress

friendly people of the far east have suffered
a great calamity. One from which it Will be
difficult for them to arise. They have been our
friends and with them we have held uninterrupt-
ed business relations covering many years, In
their distress and sorrow they need our help.
II is not for them to ask, it is for us the great
Christian nation of the world to tender aid,
comfort and coincidence. 1t is for us to do this
at once and literally as befits our sympathy and
our sincerity.
All over this broad and prosperous land the
people have heard with great sorrow of the ca
tastrophe that has overtaken the people of ia
pan. They lie PROSTATE, their homes gone, their
kindred dead, their cities ruined. 1t is from no
fault of their own. 1t was an act of the Divine
Ruler, whose ways it is not given to human UNI
Outstanding to fathom. 1t is given, however, to
us to understand the needs in such a circum-
stance. 1t is to share with them what we possess
to render their state less miserable.
This we are called upon to do out of the pros
perity that has come to us. Through the local
chapter of the American Red Cross help is ask
ed for our unfortunate friends. Solicitation of
funds will not be made. 1t will all be purely vol
untary. Whatever your conscience and your
purse dictate is your share, will be your contri.
button to this humane object. Red Cross officials
and banks will not be difficult to find. VIII
our people need further urging?

A chance remark of Mrs. Lemira Goodhue the

for the launching OF a nationwide organization
which is bound finally to include many of the
best women of the country.

The motto of the association is mo man may

The originators and projectors hope to induce
the legislatures of the various states to set apart
a day and legalize it as "Mothers-in-Law Day"
They further announce that ut is time the
mother-in-law came into her own. 1t is time
cheap comedians and humorists stop maligning
her, and 1t is time she was treated with the dig

cultural interests of the country in an aggre-

in the opposite direction and the obligations are

Just what phase of the question the court would

presumably it would render an opinion as to
whether the United States ought to insist on
collection of the debts or should remit them in
the interest of world peace.
The Temps opens up a new view of Internal

than in liquidation of its just debts, the matter
