NEW MExIco's NEW SENATOR.

Politically, young Mr.. Cuttings rec
ord is varied. He has supported four
Democrats and two Republicans for
governor. He was an energetic
Roosevelt man in 1912, but backed
Hughes in 1916. He keeps a New
York address, % East Seventy-second
street, and membership in the Sleepy
Holley Country club and the Union,

SANG $50 SONGS A DAY. :
Farm and Fireside.

Billy Murray, who in the earliest
days of the photograph often sang
the same song $50 times a day, passed
his thirtieth anniversary of record
making in New York recently. h
Today he still is in the profession, but
when he sings once 100000 records,
instead of one single screechy cylin-
der, can be made from the reproduc-
ton plate.
Murray, who in his 80 years of ex-
perience has made more records than
any other entertainer in the history
of the photograph, said he started by
being a member of barber shop
quartet" in Denver as youth and
was engaged by road show company,
which went broke before it reached
San Francisco, where he first sang
for records.
Gin those days." he said, making
records was real job. A song had
to be sung and sung good and loud
at least once for each individual rec
ord, and great were the days when
we could get the man who carried
away the finished ones to stumble and
drop his tray. The broken records
had to be made over at extra pay.

prevention expert on the national

I'm Minnesota alone, according to a

Mr.. Richards said, "the preventabIe

caused losses to contractors of mora
than $5,000,000. Contractors have
not realized the economic importance
Of preventing accidents in their in
dustry"
Losses do not end with the pay
ment of accident insurance premiums
and replacement of damaged material.
The actual loss in manpower, dis
rupted schedules, morale in working
force and other indirect causes
amounts to four or five times the ap-
parent loss represented by the insur-

"Be careful with the seed corn
which you are going to plant this
spring" is a warning given BY Ed
Willim, Jr., acting County Agent of
New Castle County. termination
tests conducted by the County Exten-
sion Agents indicate that the corn this
spring is in very poor shape for use as
seed. Of about sixty samples tested,
not more than ten or twelve have had
a termination Of over 80 per cent.
Seed corn which tests only 80 per cent
termination is not usually very
good quality Of corn, says the acting
County Agent. Under conditions this
spring, with most of the corn testing
below this, 80 per cent termination
test corn could be used. 1t is not ad-
visable to use corn testing below this
amount this year. A termination test
will be made for any one who desires
it by getting in touch with the County
Agents at Newark Seed corn testing
