That Argentine Corn Bugaboo.

Concerning the Argentine corn bugaboo which, the more irresponsible republican newspapers are going' into spasms over, the Oxford Gazette, a republican paper published at Oxford, jßeaton county, says: “J. W. McConnell has a sample of the scary Argentine corn from the importation of which President Wilson hopes to reduce the higii cost of living. If the sample shown us b> Mr. McConnell is true to life 'here need be no fear that it can i ossibly come into competition with the native corn. The sample is an insign ifleent runty yellow grain and shows no trace of oil or fattening Pualltles so prominent in the corn of this country. It might compete "ith our corn in the making of the s’wculeut muah meal. In that it might lower the standard of living, for which it appears eminently well fitted, k may be that Mr. Wilson can get something else started to false the price of oats. Ho waver, May corn is sixteen cents higher than last year.”
