CAPITAL IDEAS,
 SERMON TOPIC
Dr. George Stuart Tells. His Congregation Of Those Who
 Developed Thoughts

Sometime in his life every man will have capital idea. which, if acted upon, may change the whole course of his life from then on but only the un- usual man has the capacity of capital izings on such an idea" said Dr. George R. Stuart, pastor of the First Metho- dist Church, in his sermon Sunday night. ..Many people are like drove of cattle. They simply go with the gang and see nothing"
 "Capitalizing a Capital Idea" was Dr. Stuarts subject, based upon the experience of Paul at the time of. his conversion. In church affairs, in busi- ness and in all the relations of life, he pointed out, the person who makes the most of his. life must be, able to see and take advantage of opportunities for greater service.
 Goal InaLife.
 "Many people have fine purposes in life and work diligently to accomplish certain ambitions to which they have set their minds" Dr. Stuart said. i"Some have the ambition to be fair and square in their business relation ships and gain success in whatever en- terprises they undertake. Some have as their goal the accumulation of a large fortune."
 The speaker pointed out that, while wealth is not an evil in itself, many men resort to unworthy methods of get ting it. The man who gets rich through the liquor traffic was referred to as one of the worst examples of hu- manity.
 A. c. Gilbert, the multinillionaire toy manufacturer John Huyler, the wealthy New York candy merchant; Carrie Jacobs-Bond, author of "A Per feet Day." the song having sale of 5000, 600 copies, and Jenny Lind, the singer. were mentioned as men and women who became great by seizing their opportunities, while St. Paul was given as an example of such success in the work of the church.
 Striking Examples.
 Back in 1912" Dr. Stuart said, "A. c. Gilbert was trying to invent some kind of toy that would prove popular with. thousands of children; but he did not succeed. He would invent some thing, but nobody could demonstrate 1t properly so it did not become popular. Then one day he happened to be on train going from New York to New Haven. As the train was entering the station yards he saw the signal towers made of structural steel and suddenly got an idea which he developed as Mec- canno, the largest selling toy in the world except dolls.
 "We must put our hearts, as well as our heads, into our work" he con- tinued. Carrie Jacobs, Bond tried at first to keep her own sorrow ont of the songs she wrote and met with only mediocre success; but when she ex- pressed her own soul in her music, she wrote such song as A Perfect Day, which became one of the greatest ever written. The same thing was true of the singing of Jenny Lind. It was not until she put her whole soul into her voice that she. became one of the worlds greatest singers"

HANGINGS TO END
 ARCTIC, LOVE FELID
Caused By White Mans Desire
 To Marry Eskimo Maiden

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Jan. 20.- The final chapter of an Artic fued, caused by the desire of a white man to marry an Eskimo maiden, will be writ ten in the picturesque barracks of the Royal Canadian Mounted, Police at Herschell Island on Feb. l. On that date Alik Omiak and Eskimo" Teta- mangma, of the Universed copper Els kimo tribe of Prince Albert Sound, will be hanged for the killing of Corporal Doak of the mounted police and Otto Binder, trader of Coronation gulf.
 Binder, in his quest for the treasures of the north, met and loved girl who already was bethrothed to a member of her tribe. But the adventurous white man had made his friends among Hhe inhabitants of the bleak and bar ren regions2and the tribe was divided as to who should win the hand of the daughter of the Arctic. Bitter feeling grew into hatred and tragedy was the result. Besides the two white men several Eskimos were killed, including four-year-old girl who was strangled to. death after her parents had been murdered. Corporal Doak was killed by Omiak, whom he had arrested for his part in~the feud.
 In the unique setting of the Arctic island post of the mounted police, five persons were, tried before jury of steamboat men, trappers and traders Ekootuk, medicine woman and corceress was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to one year imprisonment, while two others were released.
 The death sentence for Omiak and Tetamangma aroused indignation in various parts of the dominion, but the Eskimo authorities declined to have them tried in the same manner as white men. After reviewing the case the dominion cabinet decided to inter vene and the execution date was first set for December ', but later 1t was changed to February l.
 Sergeant Tjorse, veteran member of the mounted, began his long trek to Herschell island with the death war rants early in September. His 2,OO0- mile journey involved many modes of travelling, including the ocean-going steamers in the Alaskan service, the primitive dog sled and the canoe.

THE SELECTION
OF SEED CORN
(By Prof. John Fonder)

One of the important jobs for the
farmer at this time is the selection
and storing of his seed corn. If the
farmer is expecting to grow corn next
year, he will be wise to prepare for
his seed this fall and not wait until
next year when he is ready to plant.
If farmer has succeeded in grow
ing a good field of corn this year he
has succeeded in the first step of seed
production. If a farmer has not
grown good field, then he would be
unwise to select corn from it with
which to plant next year. Like pro-
duces like in popular sense and so
next year he would have a field very
much like the field this year. Unless
it is certain that the quality of field
is first class no corn should be saved
from it for planting the next year.
In selecting the seed it is wise to
observe certain characters of the
corn. 1t is perhaps more generally
successful to base performance upon
what the plant has done than upon
merely the size of the ear. If the ear
is produced on short and weak stalk
it will produce a preponderance of
short and weak stalks the next year
And so plant selection is a better
method to follow than ear selection.
If the corn is gathered or separated
at the time the whole field is harvest
ed this is very easy to practice be-
cause the farmer can see just what
each plant was like.
In deciding whether or not an ear
should be kept, one should attempt
to determine its maturity, vitality and
power to germinate. Maturity can be
determined by whether or not the
grains are filled out and whether the
ears are tight and firm In case an
ear is not mature it will be possible
to twist it and to move the grains.
An immature ear will not give high
percent of termination and is not
safe selection at any time.
In order to show vitality the grains
must be hard and vitreous. If a grain

farmer out: The commission that he
has asked to work out plans for
putting agriculture on an equal econ
omic plane with other industries.
This commission has the oppor-
tunity of doing the farmer great
deal and if the personnel is of the
right mind some good things should
result for the farmer. Such steps as
this, if the motive behind them is
really honest, are very effective in
bringing above desirable adjustments.
Every one can appreciate the diff
cult task that faces the men attempt
ing to solve the agricultural situation
and any effort that is made should be
appreciated and sympathized with.
Perhaps there is something better in
store for the farmer.
