nF ALL the things that Bobby
wanted or had ever wanted or
would want, skates were at the head
Of the list.
He had had pair several years,
out they were the kind which he had
to strap on his boots, and they came
off just when he wanted to go fast,
and they never helped in the least.
Some Of the boys had been given
skates the year before and it really
made them skate faster and better.
Yes, Bobby wanted skates, or rath-

wanted the skates that would be
fastened on the boots.
Then he could play hockey. He felt
quite sure of that.

Future Homes May Be
Built of Paper Bricks

Already we have paper fire bricks
and paper car wheels, and now it ap-
pears that we may yet live in paper
houses.
A Serbian sculptor, Yovan Peshitch,
has invented an economical building
brick made of paper and seven other
ingredients, kept secret by the dis
coverer. Fire and waterproof, the
material is said to be unchanged by
mailing and to be suitable for use in
one-story and two-story buildings.
In it's astonishing use for fire buck
cts, paper is coiled into rope and
pressed into shape. A coating of
bright-red paint completes the bucket.
Car wheels are pressed from kind
of paper known as calendered rye
straw board under terrific force of
500 tons. a.u4.
Circular sheets are made into
wheels by being smeared with -four
paste and pressed together into solid
blocks. Steel tires and iron hubs
re added, and the finished wheel

Majestic. fruitful, wondrous plant!
Thou greatest among the manifesto
tions of the wisdom and love of God.
that may be seen in all the fields or
upon the hillsides or in the valleys.
Almost anywhere in the United
States at this time Of the year one
may look upon "ripening, waving
fields of glorious corn" For it is
grown in every state in the Union, al
though the eastern half of our coun-
try is richest in this splendid product
Of its fertile soil. No other form Of
plant life is so typical Of the North
American continent and none is so
closely connected with American his
tory as is maize or Indian corn. The
name itself speaks of its real Ameri-
canism for maize is the Anglicized
form of the Spanish "maiZ," which in
turn was derived from the Haytian
'mahiz" or "mahis," the name by
which the copper-skinned inhabitants
of the West Indies, who welcomed
Columbus, knew this plant.
There is every evidence that it was
cultivated by the prehistoric races of
the New world long before Columbus
landed on its shores and this daring
navigator carried the first grains Of
corn to Europe on his return voyage.
1t was staple article of food for the
first English settlers in America and
every schoolboy is familiar with the
story of how Massasoit's people
taught the Pilgrims to plant corn
when the leaves on the oak trees were
the size of mouse's ear" and how
to fertilize it by planting fish in
each hill with the grains of corn.
"Aye. the corn, the royal corn"
for indeed "Corn is King" in the United
States. From the beginning of our
history corn has been it's principal
agricultural product, far exceeding in
volume and value any one other. The
annual corn crop is around two and
three-quarter billion bushels which
far exceeds the one and one-quarter
billion bushels record of oats and less
than billion bushels wheat record.
The value of this gigantic corn crop
is well over two billion dollars and
the only other crops which can ap-
proach it in value are cotton with it's
value of one and one-quarter billions
and hay with value little over that
of cotton.

m VI one OF the principal PROD
uets Of his state and his
eulogy upon this princi-
pal source of her wealth
has become classic in
American oratory. The
governor was Richard ].
Oglesby, his subject was corn and this
is what he said about it:
But now again my mind turns to the
glorious corn. See It! Look on its
ripening, waving field! See how it
wears a crown, prouder than monarch
ever wore, sometimes jauntily and
sometimes. after the storm. the digni-
fed survivors of the tempest seem to
view a field Of slaughter and to pity
fallen foe And see the pendant
caskets of the cornfield, filled with the
wine of life, and see the silken fringes
that set form for fashion and for art.
And now the evening comes and
something of a time to rest and listen.
The scudding clouds conceal the half
and reveal the whole of the moonlit
beauty of the night. And then the
gentle winds make heavenly harmonies
on a thousand-thousand harps that
hang upon the borders and the edges
and the middle of the field of ripening
corn, until my heart seems to beat to
the rising and the falling of the long
melodious refrain. The melancholy
clouds sometimes make shadows and
hide it's aureate wealth; and now they
move, and slowly into sight there
comes the golden glow of promise for
an Industrious land.
Glorious corn, that more than all the
sisters of the field wears tropic gar
ments. Not on the shores of Nilus or
of Ind does nature dress her forms
more splendidly. My God. to live again

Aheeks and jewels of her lips and thus

@odied soul, woman.
Aye, the corn, the royal corn, within
whose yellow heart there is of health
and strength for all the nations!
The corn triumphant, that with the
aid of man hath made victorious pro-
cession across the tufted plain and laid
foundation for the social excellence
that is and is to be. The glorious plant
transmitted by the alchemy of God,
sustains the warrior in battle, the poet
in song and strengthens everywhere
the thousand arms that work the pur-
poses of life. Oh, that had the voice
of song or the skill to translate into
tones and harmonies, the symphonies
and pratories that roll across my soul
when standing sometimes by night up
on the borders of this verdant sea,
note a world of promise and then be-
fore one-half the year is gone / view
its full fruition and see its heaped gold

Chorus

Nebraska, which plants more than
100000 acres and harvests nearly
300,000,000 bushels, celebrates her
fame as the second corn-growing stare
by proclaiming to all the world that
her citizens are "Cornhuskers." Illinoi,,
takes third place with an acreage of
some 100000 less than Nebraska's and
a production of some 100000 BUSH
els less. Fourth place goes to Kan
sas and this state has also produced
a great tribute to corn-in the form
of poetry instead of prose. For the
states most famous woman poet is
Mrs. Ellen Palmer Allerton, who moved
from Wisconsin to a farm near Ham,
lin, Kan, just 90 years ago. There
was no house yet built upon their
homestead when Mrs. Allerton and her
husband arrived there and they lived
in a small granary (Which still stands
on the Allerton farm) until house
was built. All around them for miles,
stretched fields of waving corn and.
this gave her the inspiration for the
poem, "Walls of Corn" which she wrote.
in 1888 and which has been reprinted
many times as wonderful tribute to
a wonderful ''gift Of a rich and fer
tile land" ....
