How do you suppose they get that way? A certain amount of optimism is a fine thing but why try to josh any one into feeling that time.; have been extra good the past* few months?

About a hundred fanners braved the lain yesterday afternoon and attend'd the m: ling at the FonnCT stock' farm nor'h of this city, where they hoard many interesting facts and etatemenls about the corn borer, what It means Io let it get the best of a community and how much of tiie 'damage can be avoid'd.

The government is making an i fi’or to save the corn land of the' midrib.'West and we. believe it wise to aid them aud to cooperate with their j ’men.

General Gillium tor his attempt to p unload tiie Ku Klux Klan on the democratic party and his charges are just. It Is petty and unfair for GilMom to accuse democrat* of having Ijiny serious connection with the klan . aftit th* ivpublleun party has profitt cd for jears by catering to them and 'accepting their votes. It will be j n numbered that Carleton B. McCul- | lough declared his oppotdtion to the * klan before he was nominated at the I convention In 1924 and that Stephen- ) 1 j son was ejected from the convention t hall.
