SHOULD

WORK TO IMPROVE J. S. Helms, State Commissioner to National Corn Show, Talks. WORKING FOR THE SHOW. HOPES TO AROUSE FARMERS OF WAYNE COUNTY TO SUCH AN EXTENT THEY WILL SUBMIT SAMPLES OF GRAIN. J. S. Helms, who has been appointed by Governor Hanly as a commissioner to the national corn show, which will be held at Omaha, Neb., December 0, Is endeavoring to arouse interest among the farmers of the vicinity in the subject of better corn and live stock. He will co-operate with the committee named to promote a county corn school, which will be held at Centervllle In November. He will select the prize winning ears of corn for exhibition at Omaha. In speaking of the "necessity for farmers to endeavor to improve everything of interest to them, such as crops and live stock, Mr. Helms .said: "Why not raise better corn?"' Every farmer and most people who are not. farmers realize the great work that has been done in ' improving live stock. They can see the vast difference between the long shanked Texas tteer and the blocky short horn. The great live stock shows have had a Great influence to educate the stockman to the value of Improving his live stock. "The scientific improvement of grain is something more recent and much progress has been made, but the work has hardly more than begun. The difference between a scrub ear of corn and the improved type is quite, as marked as between the long t.orned steer and the prize winning shorthorn. The improvement of hogs end cattle means more and better meat at the same cost for feed and more profit for the farmer. The improvement of cereals means more and better grain at the same cost of planting, cutting and harvesting, and more profit for the farmer. If a farmer can increase his gain ,?2 per acre on a field of grain he can afford to take pains in selecting the seed and tilling. A five bushel per acre increase In corn in Indiana would mean thousands of dollars to the farmers. The way to bring this about is by means of corn shows."

Tbe explosive harpoon, which is the modem whale hunter's chief reliance, Is a truly murderous weapon, six feet la length and strong in proio"tioa, made chiefly of malleable iron and admirably designed for the slaying of the immense creatures. Its most striking feature next to the bomb head, which is operated by a time fuse and explodes In the vitals of the whale, is the anchorlike device th.it prevents tbe harpoon "drawing" out of the body again under the terrltio strain of tbe wounded monster's frantic efforts to free itself. This consists of four hinged barbs, which lie along the shaft before it is fired, but which are forced apart and imbed themselves in the whale's body after he Is bit. so that It tbe prize escapes, which sometimes occurs, It is only by breaking tbe rop When "fish" are numerous and there !s a chance of killing: more than one in I day a novel method is adopted with the first victim. When it is seen to be Jead a hole is bored through its back into Its stomach and air Is pumped into it by a pipe from the steamer's engines until it is inflated like a great balloon, rhe orifice is then closed with a woodHi plug, and a man Is left alongside in a small boat to establish ownership, while the whaler steams off in quest of ather prey. As many as Ave whales have been killed by a ship in one day, four is not an unusual '-bag." and hrces and twos are commonly got. A lingle ship killed twenty-two In a week, ind the record year's work for one is an amazing number when it Is remembered that on stormy days it is Impossible to cruise at all, as the sprays bury the gun. and that during the winter months fishing is abandoned. During that period the whales "strike off" !Su' const to escape the ice floes, to ivhich the rorquals are not partial, ben; In this respect unlike their arctic ongenero. whose habitat Is now the remotest sect! m of Hudson bay and tbe :h.mnels which strike north from its 'arthest bounds Into the poUr a ltclf.

WORK ATTRACTED ALL WHO ATTENDED OLYMPIATE

Quite tho most picturesque and striking feature of the Olymplate which closed in a blaze of glory for the American contestants, was not on the regular program at all. It was furnished by six beautiful Swedish girls, who gave gymnastic exhibition. They wore costumes of cream color, blouses and skirts and bloomers with golden stockings.

Affairs of the Wonder if all this talk about good roads will benefit the whole road hog who will never give half the road to a bicycle or automobile. Good ball is being played in the local city league and some of tho fna who are so anxious to see a game that they will go out of tho city might do worse than watch any contest at Easthaven or Athletic parK on a Saturday afternoon. A new record was established ia the Wisconsin-Illinois league this weeks when tho teams of Oshkcsh and Fond du Lac battled twenty-three innings, Oshkosh winning 4 to 2. Oshkosh made eighteen nits and Fond du Lac but half that number. Both teams made two errors. Well, Livingstone and Haydcn rapped out homers for Indianapolis yesterday and the Browns closed in on Louisville by a to 1 count. One game won and now Indianapolis is going crazy again.

navy In the Fifth round. The fight was . witnessed by 2.5000 persons but no ' civilians saw it. After being suspended from tho . game two years ago, M. J. Kelley former player manager of St. Paul, was reinstated yesterday. He will re-' sume management of the team and . Lennon will not sell. Local fans remember when Kolly brought tho team to this city to train. Another jolt was handed the aspirations of Columbus yesterday by the M d Hens. Clymer was put off the grounds for disputing a decision made by Umpire Owens. The late start and wet grounds did not prevent the Reds from winning from Brooklyn in the only National League game yesterday. Detroit without the services of Cobb yesterday secured but four hits off Plank of the Phililes und the premier shut out. Philadelphia hit safely ten times. An error by Lajoie allowed Washington to score two runs, win the game and break Cleveland's winning streak. Washington out hit the Naps with Joss doing the flingmc. Local bicyclists are showing interest in the road race of Aug. 22. Each evening a group of probable contestants rides over the course In fast time. It is but a question of a few days until it will be time to pull the canvas trousers and padded jerseys out of the moth balls and give them their fall airing as the football season Is drawing near. LACKEY HORSE WINS BIG RACE Fair Oaks Takes Three Heats At Erie, Pa., Friday. Fair Oaks, owned by John Lackey, of Cambridge City, won his race at Erie, Pa., yesterday in three straight heats.

They include Riza Pasha, the former Minister of War and Raghib Pasha, one of the Court Chamberlains. Raghib was taken only after a stubborn resistence. He had barricaded himself in his house, and he opened fire on the police with a rifle from an upstairs window. Reenforcements were sent for and the officers then stormed the house and took Raghib to prison. The proclamation committee of the Union of Progress has expressed its satisfaction with the composition of the new ministry and has begged the people to cease their manifestations and permit those intrusted with matters of government to proceed with their labors.

The Turks have .1 singular manner of regulating drunkenness. If a Turk overtaken with wine falls down In the street and is arrested by the guard he Is sentenced to the bastinado. This punishment is repeated as far as the third offense, after which he is regarded as incorrigible and called "imperial drunkard" or "privileged drunkard." If he is then arrested he has only to name himself, mention his lodging, fay he is n "privileged drunkard." He is released and sent to sleep upon the hot ashes of the baths. The Carve.

STAGE MONEY NO! LIKED BY WILKIE Secret Service Chief to Wage War on It. Washington, Aug. 8. Chief Wilkie of the secret service proposes to test the law in relation to the right of persons to make "stage" money, much of which is freely sold in the form of a roll of $100 bills. A case in which one of these $100 bills has been passed as lawful money has come to the attention of the secret service and Chief Wilkie believes the issuance of such "stage" money wtll be adjudged unlawful when a test case is made against one of its manufacturers. LINCOLN'S CARELESSNESS. ilia Hat Hla Farortte Receptacle Fop Letters and Papera. When Lincoln was postmaster of New Salem be used to tuck the letters Inside his hat and deliver them whenever he happened to meet the persons to whom they were addressed. As this is a fair example of his business system, it may readily be Imagined that the office of Stuart & Lincoln was not a model establishment, where there was a place for everything and everything in its place. And it was not. Indeed, as a managing clerk the Junior partner would have been a hopeless failure, and as an attorney, in the technical sense of the term, he would never have distinguished himself. He disliked everything connected with the drudgery of legal routine, hated drawing the declarations and pleas, despised the artificialities and refinements which were even then beginning to creep into the pleadings and disregarded forms whenever it was possible to do so. There was nothing mechanical, precise or methodical about the man, and in all those housewifely virtues which characterized the careful, orderly, exact solicitor he was utterly deficient. He never knew where his papers were, and apparently the only attempt he ever made to better the disorder was to write on one of his bundles of papers which littered his desk, "When you can't find it anywhere else, look In this." But that was long after the firm of Stuart & Lincoln had dissolved, and even then we find him explaining to a correspondent that he had placed his letter Inside an old hat and had thus neglected answering It, which shows he had not wholly outgrown. the habit of his postofnee days. Indeed, his hat continued to be his favorite receptacle for papers as long as he lived, and he never acquired any sense of order. Frederick revor H1U in Century. Moon Core For Bald Heada. The superstition in agricultural communities that the phases of the moon affect the germinatiou and growth of seed has a parallel in a queer belief that the moon also influences the growth of hair on the head. Here is an old recipe. The baldheaded should take "two ounces of boar's grease, one dram of the ashes of burnl bees, one dram of the ashes of southern wood, one dram of the juice of a white lily root, one dram of oil of sweet almonds and six drams of pure musk. Make an ointment of these and the day before the full moon shave the place and anoint it every day." New York Tribune. Th e Brnte! "This hat of mine," stormed the wife, "has been out of date for tea solid years." "I should certainly have thought." responded her shameless husband, "that the styles would have swung back to it at least once in that length of time." Louisville Courier-Journal.

Kreidler, a repair foreman on the low grade line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, pursued a large copperhead snake to a rock along the Susquehanna River hills, and. upon removing the obstacle, unearthed a den of venomous reptiles. He was armed with nothing but a club, but succeeded in dispatching all of the forty snakes, none of which measured less than eighteen inches. Kreidler escaped without being bitten. THE MEXICAN OCELOT. A Great Jumper la Tbla Strange Little Spotted Jnnitle Cat. " One of the most Interesting animals of the caw world and yet one of which little seems to be written, even by sportsmen who have spent much time in Mexico and the Central American states, is the ocelot, the strange little spotted cat of the dense jungles of tropical parts of the two Americas. They are not nearly so heavy as the average lynx of the eastern woods and are Infinitely lighter on their feet. They run with tbe greatest agility up and down the almost perpendicular trunks of trees and follow a crippled bird out on limbs too slender, it would seem, to bear the weight of the parrot let alone the cat. Parrots are the ocelot's principal food, and their bunting is done almost altogether by day, though, like all the cat tribe, they are thoroughly at home In the blackest night The parrots which they hunt frequent the thickest of forests, coming to the ground only In the rare open spaces and along the banks of the many small streams where they drink. In order to follow them it Is necessary that the ocelots be great jumpers, and so they are. When I was following tbe hounds through the southern California hills after wildcats and aa occasional mountain lion I was watt to say that the latter was the greatest jumper on earth. The ocelot has any mountain lion that ever walked beaten a block, length for length and weight for weight Forest and Stream. Poaalble Explanation.
