TARIFF RESPONSIBLE FOR DECLINE IN CORN

Millions of Bushels From Argentine ' Republic Under Contract for Shipment to U. 8. New York, Jan. ft—Nearly 300,000 bushels of Argentine corn were being unloaded in this port yesterday, and millions more from the South American republic are under contract. The importations are the direct result of the removal of the duty oq the staple under the recent tariff act. More than 1,000,000 bushels have been received in the United States since the tariff jyent into effect, the first from Argentine ever brought here, and already the competition with American eorn .has forced a decline in cash values. Thirteen ships are, either enroute here are unloading with corn from Argentine, and one American manufacturing concern, which usep corn in the manufacture of syrup and kindred products, has 5,000,000 bushels from the country under contract for delivery. When the new Argentine corn crop is harvested the importations will increase. The corn already-here found the railroads unprepared to handle it and the port without adequate docking facilities. The fact that hitherto practically no com has ever moved west has also confronted the railroads with ,a new rate problem, as there is a movement on foot 1 among the importers to have the present nominated rate for western shipment reduced.

MONNETT-DE PEYSTER SCHOOL DOING WELL

Distinguished Visitors Approve the /School Management—A Business Asset, for Rensselaer: After a two weeks’ vacation, the Monnett-De Peyster School fioj Girls resumed ts work Monday. The fall term, while not characterized by any marked advancement, has been one of substantial growth. Some greatly needed improvements have been added which have increased the efficiency of the work.. The sanitary conditions have been greatly improved by a new plan of drainage which has put the base men | play and Store rooms in perfect condition; and also by an additional bath room with complete fixtures. A fine new cement walk adds much to the appearance of the front, and plans are already made for an attractive lawn and flower bed when the spring opens. A fine new kitchen range has added much to the comfort and economy by making is possible to do practically all the baking for the family. A hew school room has been fitted up for the seventh and eighth grades and new black boards placed in the primary room. A fire escape has recently been added and changes, made in the building to render it as safe as possible from fire, and Chief Montgomery will soon institute a system of fire drills.

In the absence of a gymnasium a rude but serviceable outdoor basket, ball court has been provided and a friend of the school has furnished the ball, thus affording an excellent means of recreation and physical culture for the girls. Another friend of the school has loaned a first-class piano for the use of the higher grade music pupils. The health, scholarship, morals and the sdhool spirit have been all that could, be desired. Miss Mary E. Lunn; Who has been, successively, superintendent of the Boston Deaconess Work, the New York Deaconess Home, and. recently of the Dos Angeles Deaconess Home, has taken up the work of field secretary and will solicit funds for the iminediate and future needs of the school. Mias Wilcox, who has been performing the -duties of house mother, will also give her time to the field work and Mrs. Bessie Barr, just graduated from the Chicago Training School, will take her place in the institution. The school has been fortunate in securing the attention of recent distjainguished visitors. Judge Bartelme, former public guardian of Cook county and now of the Ohh cago Juvenile Court, after a visit to the school, placed a little girl for whom she is guardian, in the school. Dr. Chas. Fordyce, dean of the teachers’ college of the University of Nebraska, in a recent visit, commended the homelike spirit at well as the educational standards employed. Miss Ethel Clark of the Indiana State Board of Charities, was an interested visitor not long ago and expressed her approval of the general management in the home and the school life. *

This should concern the people of Bensselaer as an indication that this school is already attracting more than local interest and that the town is being recognized be cause of it. Moreover, the supplies and the labor for the improvements mentioned above were all secured within the town. The business management is wholly in the hands of representative buisness and professional men of the town and practically all the money expended for the school is spent in Bensselaer and the institution is becoming more and more a valuable business asset to the community. The School management acknowledges with gratutude the courtesy and cordial co-operation of the business fimte with which it has had ’relations this year and also the kindness of individuals who have given their services without cost or at greatly reduced rates. The number of these is too great for personal mention tout not for remembrance toy those in charge. Nor can special mention toe made of the splendid Thanksgiving and Christmas donations, but we do take this opportunity to thank the modest, unknown friend who provided our Christmas turkey. We trust that his joy in giving was equal to ours in receiving. The gfts of cash and donations by many outside of Bensselaer have helped to make possible the meeting of our year's expenses thus far, tout more help of, this kind is needed. This is not the place to rehearse the stories which illustrate the need of sueh a school, tout one urgent need of the sdhool should enlist the interest of every friend of children. One young girl who has been a student during the year

Mr. Gaddis and Constable Ballard left for the place: arriving there the former identified his property but the thief had disappeared.

John Remley Tells About His Claims in Montana.

John Bemley and brother Will are planning to return before long to their homes in Montana, where John and two children, Opal and Estel, went a year ago and took out claims. The Republican last fall stated that they entered 160 acres each, but it should have said 320- acres each, their total holdings, being 960 acres. Two of the farms adjoin, while the third is a mile distant The land is in Dawson county, Which is almost as large as the state of Indiana, but as it Is populated it is divided into smaller counties and a plan of division is now on that will put their farms with 10 miles of a county seat while railroad surveys will put them within four miles of a road. John has 120 acres of his land fenced and will be able to raise a crop this year without having it destroyed, by range which happened last year. He has considerable land broken and tihe fall rains assure a good crop the coming season. Cows there are so high that the price is prohibitive and John expects to take tour or five head with him, as he will have room in a car he has arranged for.
