IRISH 'PULLLE.G'
Of j. s. PEACE
ENVOY
Francis J. Lowe Made Victim
of Practical Jokers During
Pacifist Mission.
By DANIEL O'CONNELL.
international News Service.

DUBLIN, April 11.-Ireland just
won't take Americas peace en-
voys" seriously.
It's latest laugh is at Francis ].
Lowe, the newest would-be peace
maker from across the Atlantic
and all Dublin has been laughing
over the gentle piece Of 'Ieg-pulI'
ing" that he has been treated to.
Lowe, who had threatened
peace by st. Patrick's Day, re-
ceived a letter from De Valera
stating that the writer regretted
that he could not see his way clear
to grant him an interview, but the
same night, following a telephone
message, Lowe received a type
written document, purporting to
give him directions for getting in
touch with the Irregular leader.
Follows Instructions.
Wearing a red tie and bunch
of shamrock in his buttonhole,
Lowe sailed forth the next morn
ing to keep his appointment. He
carried a stick in his left hand and
from time to time, according to
the secret signal arranged, fin
gered his horn-rimmed spectacles
with the other hand.
Arrived at his destination, which
happened to be an apartment house
in Merton Square, he gave the
prearranged staccato knock on the
door, which was opened by a
startled housemaid. In reply to
her query as to his business, Lowe
softly uttered the word "Siki"
three times, but the only result
he got from this mysterious pass
word was to have the door shut
in his face by the housemaid, who
ran screaming below stairs" that
there was a '1unatic on the door
STEP"
Lowe Gets Suspicious.
BY this time Lowe was begin
ming to feel a little dubious as to
the success Of his mission, and, on
the appearance of several more SER
wants in the area, who gesticulated
and pointed at him, he decided to
get back to his hotel.
At a safe distance, unknown to
him, followed the practical jokers,
who had watched the proceedings
from the shelter of a cab.
Later In the day he received q
telephone message purporting to
come from Free State Headquar-
tiers" and stating that his attempt
to see De Valera had been made
known to the military, adding that
he was lucky to escape being shot,
as the one who had given him the
instructions would be.
Narrowly Escapes"
This information was duly re-
tailed to his friends by Lowe, and
he received many Fluctuations on
his lucky escape and the wonderful
"sagacity" he had shown. He was
still rather dubious, however, about
what the Irregulars would do
when they found out that he had
miscarried instructions" The ar.
rival of an Official" message al.
layed his fears, however, and he
gravely told his nsteners-all in
on the secret-of how he had
escaped from almost certain death.
It is reported that Lowe Is still
wondering what the suppressed
laughter was all about.

Something to
Think
By T. II. WILKER
IMAGINATION
By F. II. WILKER

TN ALL that has to do with master
4 full effort and extraordinary achieve
ment, there must first be in the mind
of the prospective operator an mag
NATIVE activity.
In order to write q book or q play
1t is necessary in the beginning Of the
work of either, to set our Imagination
to work, going carefully step by step
over the plots and characters, and pic
turing them to the limit of our ability
as they appear when they make their
%obeisance to the public, for whose en-
tertainment they have been produced.
This same principle applies to every
form of labor, whether by the hand or
the brain, the man or woman possess
ing the greater power of imagination
having q decided advantage over those
who constantly have to be told what
to do and guided at every turning
point.
The artist first visions his picture
before he mixes his colOrs and takes
up his brushes; the architect sees in
his mind the outward form and pro-
portions of a building or a bridge, prior
to making the preliminary sketches,
and so 1t goes at the start of every
thing created.
Without imaginative activity the
world would soon retrOgrade.
Cities would become unsightly, there
would be no music or art, nc schools
or colleges-nothing to give inspiration
to the young and urge them on to sur
pass their elders.
The force of will, unless it is sup
ported by Imagination, rarely accom-
anything above the ordinary
never pens a poem that will go down
the ages, never chisels a statue whose
grace and charm excite enduring adj
o~ration, never writes a song that mil
lions of people love to sing over and
over again long after the hand that
wrote 1t is turned to dust.
The Pyramids, those Impressive
monuments near Cairo, Egypt, on the
vest side of the Nile, grew from
Imagination to imperishable piles
which have excited the wonder and
admiration of mankind for centuries.
"Where there is no vision" says the
Book of Books, "the people perish"
If you are blessed with an mag
mind, a conscious aiming at a
esult, give it free rein and let ii lead
'ou where it will.

Montana Seed Corn Days
September lst to 10th

Corn Growers are urged to select seed corn ample to
meet the needs not only of 1924 but to hold as a reserve
for 1925, in a proclamation issued by the Montana de
partment of agriculture which d~eslgnates the tlrst ten days
ing attention to the fact that the corn acreage in Montana
has multiplied 500 times in the past forty years, the proc
lamation emphasizes the fact that the progress OF Mon
tana as a corn-growing state depends largely on the use
Of homegrown, a~cclimated seed. The move to have an
nual seed corn days observed has the backing of the Mon
tana Seed Growers association.

Seed Corn Days
Department of Agriculture,
State of Montana,
Helena, Montana.
To the Farmers of Montana:
Corn is a factor of first import
ance in the evolution of farming
methods to meet conditions that ex-
ist in Montana. It's amazing adapt
ability to the eenvironment it found
in this state has resulted in such an
acreage increase that corr planting
in 1922 was nearly 500 times that
cropped forty years ago.
Records of corr acreage by de-
cades showing the rapidity of its
conquest of Montana:
Year Acres in Corn
1882 492
1892 1880
1902 3,714
1912 $4,000
1922 $4,000
This increase is made possible by
the adaptation Of corn to the entirely
new surroundings encountered IN
Montana. Varieties have been de-
veloped within the state that are
best suited to thrive under u vary
ing conditions. 1t is no longer neces-
sary nor desirable that the farmer
of Montana go beyond the borders
of this state for seed corn, and re-
peat the tedious process of readjust-
ment that has already been success
fully accomplished under the guild
ance of others. There is an abund-
ant supply of acclimated corn, adapt
ed to local conditions of weather
and soil, now growing in the corn
fields of Montana.
A Reserve Supply
Seed corr selection. timely in the
doing and adequate in quantity, is
the foundation upon which Montana's
corn progress must be built. Seed
not only to meet the certain require
ments of 1924, but to hold as a re-
serve for the 1925 planting as in
surance against shortage of good
corn, should be chosen in the field
and laid aside early in the month of
before danger of killing
frost, by the corr growers of the
state.
AS a reminder, therefore, of the
duty and opportunity at hand for
every corn grower of Montana to
