To Exhibit Corn Raised
on South African Farm

ChicagO.-An interesting feature OF
the International Grain and Hay
show, which will be held at Chicago,
November 20 to December 6, in con-
nection with the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary celebration of the International
Live Stock exposition, will be dis
play of corn raised in the Transvaal
of South Africa. This exhibit will be
eligible to receive special recognition
which is offered for superior foreign
exhibits.
This corn has an interesting his.
tory. Many years ago at one of the
early corn shows in the United States
Mr.. Palm of Newtown, Ind, was
awarded $1,000 trophy for the best
single ear entered. The widespread
publicity which was thus given the
corn reached to South Africa and
some leading farmers in the Trans.
vaal purchased seed from Mr.. Palm.
Under the peculiar climatic condi.
lions in it's new home, the corn gradu.
ally became changed in character, be-
coming harder, flintier and having
shorter kernels.

Congressman J. p. Hill
Wins Wine Case Point

Baltimore.-In the trial of Repre-
sentative John Philip Hill in the Unit
ed States court here for alleged vio-
lations of the Volstead act, Judge
Morris A. Soper ruled that the zone
half of 1 per cent? clause in the Vol
stead law does not apply to beverages
made in the home for home consump-
ton.
Judge Soper said:
Congress seems to have used the
word notwithstanding differently in
one section than that it did in an
other. To my mind congress plainly
intended that persons manufacturing
cider and wine exclusively for use
In their homes should be in a class
by themselves or otherwise there is
no apparent need for this section
(section 29).
'The only reasonable explanation
for congress singing out homemade
cider and wine makers is that con-
gress did not intend to punish men for
such manufacture unless the bever-
age is intoxicating in fact"

u. S. Estimates Corn Crop
at 2,478,OOO,O 900 Bushels

Chicago.-A corn crop of 2,47S,000,-
600 bushels is estimated by the De-
partment of Agriculture in its prelim-
mary returns for November. This
figure showed a loss of 568,000,00O
bushels from last years crop and was
considered bullish by the trade. How
ever, the estimate stood 100000
bushels above the forecast last month.
The crop of 1851, 100000 bushels re-
ported by the nine leading corn states
is the smallest, with one exception,
since 1913. Illinois, with a corn crop
Of 302,775,000 bushels this year,
showed a loss of 34,0O0,0O0 bushels
from last year, but a gain of 22,O00,-
600 bushels for the month. Indiana,
Ohio and Minnesota showed gains for
the month, but Iowa, the banner corn
state, with 326,640,0O0 bushels under
last years crop. Kansas, Nebraska
and Missouri also showed reductions
Owing to the early frost, the quail
ity of the corn is lowest in recent
years, being 632 against SO, the five
year average.

Monday in December.

Hon. Robert D. Carey, Careyhurst
Wyo., former governor of Wyoming.
0. e. Bradfute, president of the

Admiral Fiske Urges
u. S. Become Strong

New York.-Rear Admiral Bradley
A. Fiske, retired, speaking at a serv-
ice Of flags at the Church of the Heav-
States take adequate precautions to
achieve that higher destiny for which
we shall have to fight by understand
ing better what this wicked world is"
He declared that "our probable en-
emies are becoming stronger to attack
and we weaker TO resist" and that
"New York is the most vulnerable city
that ever existed"
Certain nations are becoming
stronger militarily while we are be-
coming efTeminrzed," he asserted. 1--WE
can see, for instance, that in japan
the people are sternly depressing all
tendency to luxury and that a nation
wide movement almost feverish in in.
tensity, is acting to aggrandize its
air force, even working women and
little girls contributing their mites.
We, on the other hand, are becoming
more and more addicted to luxury and
pleasure while gaudy fashion shops
almost monopolize our grandest ave
nue."
The admiral pointed out that if the
IRIS had come on a mission of de-
struction instead of peace, it could
have done a billion dollars of dam
age in an hour.
The admiral argued that competi-
ton among nations. while often lead
ing TO war, is the stimulus of progress
and that from this sit would be illog-
ical to expect human beings could es-
cape" He declared the United States
is surrounded by virile, ambitious and
intelligent but poor nations, and men,
toned Germany, Russia and Japan.
These countries. he said, cannot just
ly be blamed" If they envy Americas
wealth.

THREE MILLION VETS
FAIL TO SEEK BONUS

Washington, D. COT the 100000
World war veterans entitled to adjust
ed compensation only 1,450,000 have
applied for the bonus, according to
an announcement by Maj. Gen. Rob-
ert G. Davis. More than 100000 GER
tificates have been sent to applicants.
Applications have dropped from 3d.
600 day during July to only 5000
during October.
The War department, therefore, has
started a new drive to speed up the
work of gathering applications and
at the same time Maj. Gen. Davis is
sues a request that all veterans who
do not intend to apply for the bonus
communicate that fact to the depart
ment in order that the cocst of admin
istration may be reduced.
At present the department is ex-
aiming an average of $4,000 appli-
cants daily, returning $500 for cor
rection, comparing $1,000 with the
records, identifying the finger prints
of 10000, disallowing an average of
155, and issuing certificates or max
ing cash payments to 10000.
General Davis states that if the bal
ance of the applications were re
ceived at this time the department
could complete its task at minimum
cost to the government within three
months after the first of the year.

May Wheat Brings $3.50,
NelD High Mark for 1924

Chicago.-May wheat sold above the
S1.60 level on the board of trade Mon
day, a new high for the season. A
wave of speculative buying swept over
the pit. Reduced yields in exporting
countries aside from the United States
were the basis for the buying. De-
spite the advance in wheat of over
SOC bushel in four months, prices in
this country are still cheapest in the
world. May wheat in Liverpool on
Monday sold at $1.8O. United States
farmers have marketed probably IS
per cent of their crop to date and
have realized the best returns In sew

u. S. WANTS CHEMICAL
PATENTS RETURNED

lphia.-With a charge that
Francis P. Caravan, former alien prop
erty custodian, and other officials of
his department during the war had
violated the conspiracy laws of the
United States in the sale of more than
6,OOO seized German dye and chemical
patents, the government renewed it's
fight to regain the patents from the
Chemical Foundation, Inc, of which
Garvan became president while he
was still alien custodian.
United States Attorney General
Stone led a corps of federal lawyers
in battle in the United States Cir
cult Court Of Appeals here to have
a decision by Judge Morris of the Dis
trlct Court of Delaware set aside and
the patents restored to the govern
ment.
Henry w. Anderson of Richmond.
Va, special assistant to the attorney
general, opened the government side
of the case.
In his outline of the case to Judges
Burlington, Woolley and Davis, who
are hearing the argument, Mr.. Ander-
son made the charge that the whole
transaction was in violation of the
criminal code, and declared that in
spite Of the wide powers that were
conferred on President Wilson by the
trading with the enemy act" neither
the President nor any other govern
ment official could have legally made
a sale of these patents in the way
they were sold to the foundation"

GEDDES SEES j. s.
AS WORLD LEADER
Former Ambassador Warns
Britain Colonies Seek
America as Guide.

London.-In a lecture describing the
United States as one of the great en-
pires of the world, Sir Auckland Ged-
des, former British ambassador to
America, told an audience of 5000 at
Westminster hall how profoundly
American thought was influencing the
United Kingdom, and to an even great
er extent the British dominions.
Colonies Look to U. S.
The British dominions that look out
on the Pacific, he said, feel that in
Washington there is an instructive I'M
derstanding of their difficulties which,
when they come to Lopdon, they have
to explain laboriously in Downing
street."
The speaker seemed to surprise
some in the audience with the remark
that when the dominions look to the
mother country and find no satisfac-
tory understanding, "they are apt to
look to Washington, and Washington,
with inviting eyes, will look back at
them"
Takes Britain's Place.
The far-fung British empire, Sir
Auckland said, has yielded the leader
ship of the world in many respects to
the compact empire of the United
States. He cited the Washington
arms conference as an example
The former ambassadors address
was the first of series of Page me-
moral lectures, given In memory of
the former American ambassador to
Great Britain, and was delivered with
many dignitaries surrounding the
speaker The earl of Balfour, as chair
man of the meeting, introduced Sir
Auckland, and Prime Minister Bald
win, as guest, moved the thanks of
the audience, which Ambassador Kel-
logg seconded
Premier Baldwin declared the prop
er solution of the question of Anglo
American relations meant the peace
Of the world.
Learned Lesson From U. S.
The greatest lesson we, as a coun-
try, ever learned, we learned from
America $50 years ago." said he. "She
taught US how to manage our colonies
happily. AS does not always happen,
we got a second chance to learn while
the world was young enough to per-
NIT of colonial expansion. l always
think we English people, in thinking
Of America, ought to remember what
1t was that drew people of our stock
overseas to : merica. First, it was
to obtain complete freedom of con-
science; second, to make a new start,
and, third, to be quit of Europe"
Concluding, the premier said that
In the future the sea must be high
way and not separator.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22.-Wil- liam G. McAdoo, candidate for the democratic presidential nomination, re- turned homeo late today after testify. ing in the oil lease investigation at Washington, breathing a demand that the "spiity must be brought to punish ment." >- -.
 'The shocking revelations at Wash ington of betrayal of public interest must give profund concern to every lover of our institutions and to every patriotic American regardless of party" he said.
 ''These transactions must De probed to the bottom and the guilty brought to punishment. This is not a question of party politics; it involves the life of the nation.
 '"The duty of the government is no less to punish those, who are guilty than to protect those who are inno- cent. No attempt to divert attention from the guilty should be permitted.
 When men in high place. those to 'hOm the nation has the right to look with confidence and respect, betray their trust and prostitute their power, Il danger to democratic institutions, in iinitely greater than bolshevism or ny other ism confronts us. The sub- tie poison of corruption ultimately will 'lO it's deadly work
 All good citizens, therefore, must mite to drive corruption out of the government to elevate the standards of public morality and to administer the government up high conception that public office is public trust"
