Indian Corn

Corn is such a commonplace, ordinary sort of

thing, and so uninteresting to most' of -our-city-

bred people that perhaps few of them realize just

how important is the role it plays in the econom

ic well-being of the United States. Some of the more striking facts, as brought out in an article by Edward Albes in the Bulletin of the PanAmerican Union, Washington, D. G, may sur

prise some of them. For instance, the United

States produces three-fourths of the entire corn crop of the world. In 1915 the country's produc

tion amounted to 3,054,536,000 bushels, having a farm value of over $1,755,860,000. When it is stated, moreover, that if we add the value of the

record-breaking wheat crop of 1915, amounting

to $930,302,000, to the value of the big cotton crop of the same year, amounting to $602,393,000, the sum of the two still lacks $223,165,000 of reaching the value of the humble corn crop, some idea of the importance of the last named may Jae had. z The history of the great cereal is dealt with -by the writer of the article, as well as its manifold uses as a food for man and beast, as a beverage, and as an important factor in many kinds of manufactured products. Relative to its origin, the writer introduces the subject by a brief disquisition anent man's teeth, which show that he ris both carnivorous and granivorous, and continues: . "That maize was unknown to European, Asiatic and African peoples before the discovery of America is now well established. Aside from

the testimony of Humboldt, Darwin, and others, the matter of the origin of maize was finally settled by the celebrated Swiss botanist Alphonse De Condolle, who, after sifting all the evidence, makes the statement in the revised 1882 edition of his "Origin of Cultivated Plants' that "Maize is of American origin, and has only been introduced into the Old World since the discovery, of the New." Just where in the Americas it originated is a mooted question. According to Condolle, at the time of the discovery of the new continent maize was one of the staples of its agriculture, from the La Plata Valley to the United States. The natives planted it around their temporary dwellings where they did not form a fixed population. The burial mounds of the natives of North America who preceded those of our day, the tombs of the Incas the catacombs of Peru- contain ears or grains of maize, just as the monuments of ancient Egypt contain grains of barley, wheat and millet seed. In Mexico a goddess who bore a name derived from that of maize corresponded to the Ceres of the Greeks, and the first fruits of the maize harvest were offered to her. At Cuzco the virgins of the sun offered sacrifices of bread made from the meal of Indian corn. Nothing is better calculated to show the antiquity and generality of the cultivation of a plant than this intimate connection with-the religious rites of the ancient inhabitants. "It was not only in Peru and Mexico, however, that maize was extensively, cultivated. It was the

great food plant of practically all the American

Indians who sought the aid of cultivation in ob taining food. Columbus found it to be the prin

cipal food of the natives of the Island of Santo Domingo, and his was the first account of the

grain made public in 'Europe. Linguistic evidence shows that it was introduced into the

United States from the tribes of Mexico and from the Caribs of the West Indies, but the time of

this introduction can only be conjectured. That

it was long before the appearance of the Euro

peans is evident not only from its early and widespread cultivation by tribes of the area now embraced in the United States, but from the fact that indications of its cultivation are found in mounds and in the ancient pueblo ruins and cliff dwellings, while corroborative evidence is found in the fact that several varieties had already been developed at the time of the discovery, four being mentioned as in use among the Indians of Virginia."

THE BLACK TROLL'S TREASURE Hans was leaning over the well "when he heard his father's voice calling, "Hans, Hans, come at once!" So without stopping to lace his broken "shoe he ran into the cottage where )iis father lay on a sick bed. "Look, lad, behind the tin box on he top shelf of the cupboard and see "if my little black bag is there,' said the father. "I have kept in it my lite savings for years and now I have an idea they are gone." - TIans looked carefully but not a sign of a bag could he find, but Just outside of the door it lay empty. "What shall we do, my boy?" cried Ihe father. "It was all I had and now that my leg is broken we will have toothing to eat. I dreamed last night that the Troll from the Great Cavern 'slipped in here and took my little taoney. What a wicked thief! And I know not where to find him, even if I could walk." "Never mind, father, said Hans, bravely. "I will go search for your money and not return until I find it. Here are bread, meat and milk enough to last you for some time." " So within an hour the lad was on hl8 way through the fields. He noticed that in the dust of the path was a curious print as if of a tiny foot, and this footstep he followed for hoilrs till it stopped at the top of a Rroat black reck. Through a crack in the top he could see a vast chamber within, the walls of white stone, and about on the floor buckets and baskets of gold glimmering in the dim lltrht. At a marble table sat the Black

Troll. He was a strange, misshapen creature, with tiny twisted legs and a face like a gcat. In his hand was a small silver rod. ' . ' "Little rod, my slave today, Do exactly what I say." Sang the Troll in a low voice. "Bring all my bags of gold here and empty them on the table." ; In a moment the Eilver rod had js pun about the room, brought the bags and emptied them on the table tn front of the Troll. Hans watched the creature as he counted the money and placed it carefully in the bags again. Then the rod brought a big Class of wine and the Troll fell asleep. . . , . i nr 1 1 1 ,1

Wnen Mans saw me i run h ucau

severely over the shoulders. In spite of the creature's cries the whipping

kept on till he sank from exhaustion; then the rod whisked off through the

roof, with ten bags of gold from the

taoie. "As the gold has been stolen by

the Troll," said Hans, "and he took all we had, I have a right to some of

Ms. But I will leave most of it When he wakes up a hundred years from now he will be a better and more honest man, perhaps," and with this the boy climbed up out of the cave and ran home. Here he found the 10 bags of gold piled on the floor and his father speechless with surprise and delight. There was no danger now of starving, for within a few days they had a beautiful home on a big estate and everything they could wish. .When a man, Hans proved so kind to the poor and helpful to all that he was made the mayor of the city and lived in great splendor for many long, happy years.

YOUNG G. 0. P, TO MEET SOON TO FORM CLUB

Young Republicans of Wayne county have been called to organize for the campaign of 1916, at the court house on Wednesday, September 13, at 1:3(J o'clock. The call was issued today and active efforts are under way to make Wayne county's fighting force of young men one of the most effective in the state. One feature of the campaign upon which State Chairman William H. Hays, is laying special stress, is that of a state wide movement of the young Republicans, preferably, first voters. Recently there was held a meeting at the Hotel Severin, Indianapolis, of a representative of all the counties of the state except two, which were heard from, but unable to be present and which are also in line with the work of the organization. State Chairman Hays plans to have a state wide representation of the young men at a rally to be held in Indianapolis, during the month of October. He expects at this time to have three representatives of each township in the state, present and in a line of

march for one big event. If possible i

the gathering will be in connectic with the appearance of Candidate Charles Evans Hughes, for the presidency, in the capital. The young men's movement is organized first by districts and then by the counties. In the sixth district Cecil C. Tague, of Brookville, an attorney, is chairman. Edward Warfel is captain for Wayne county. Industrial accidents in Pennsylvania during the first six months of this year resulted in the killing of 954 workers and in the injuring of 100,287 others.

"Land Bakes, how you scared me, Mr. Morrdw!" she exclaimed. "You're up earlier than usual. I'll have your breakfast ready in the dining-room in ten minutes." She hurried on quickly, but not before the operative's keen eyes had noted in one lightning glance the contents of the tray. Upon it was a teapot, 'as well as one for coffee, and service for two. Peterson and Acker had both long since gone to their usual day's work. Mrs. Quinlan had lied, then, after all. She had two new lodgers instead of the single rheumatic old gentleman she had pictured; two, and one of them had entered his own room, and from the window fired that shot across the street at him, as he bent over the lamp in the Brunell cottage. He had one problematic advantage it was possible that he had not been recognized as the intruder in the deserted house. He must contrive by hook or crook to obtain a glimpse of the mysterious new. comers, and learn the cause of their interest in the Brunells and their affairs. They were in all probability emissaries of Paddington's possibly one of them was . Charley Pennold himself.

At that same moment Henry Blaine sat in his office, received the report of Ross, one of his minor operatives. "I tried the tobacconist's shop yesterday morning Bir but there wasn't any message there for Paddington, and although I -waited around a couple of hours he didn't show up," Ross was saying. "This morning, however, I tried the same stunt, and it irorked. I wasn't any too quick about It, either, for Paddington was Just after me. I strolled in, asked for a packge'of Cairos and gave, the man the office, as you told me. He handed it over like a lamb, and I walked out with it, straight to that little cafe across the way. I had four of th eboys waiting there, and my entrance was a signal to them to beat it over and buy enough tobacco to keep the shopkeeper busy while I made a getaway from the dairy lunch place. I only went three doors down, to a barber's, and while I was waiting my turn thsre I watched the street from behind a newspaper. "In about ten minutes Paddington came along, walking as if he was in quite a hurry. He went into the tobacconist's, but he came out quicker than he had entered, and his face was a studypurple with rage oneminute, and white with fear the next. I don't believe he knows yet who's tailing

him, sir, but he looks as if he realized we had him coming and going. He went straight over to the little restaurant, with murder in his eye, but he only stayeda minute or two. I tailed him home to his rooms, and he stamped along at first as if he was so mad he didn't care whether he was follow, ed or not. When he got near hs own street, though, he got cautious again, and I had all I could do to keep him from catching me on his trail he's a sharp one, when he wants to be, and he's on his mettle now." "I know the breed. He'll turn and fight like any other rat if he's cornered, but meanwhile he'll try at any cost to get away from us," Blaine re

sponded. You have him well covered, Ross?" "Thorpe is waiting In a high-power-ed.car a few doors away, Vanner in a ta, and Daly Is on the job until I get back. He won't take a step today without being tailed," the operative answered, confidently. "Here's the cigarette box, sir. I opened it as soon as I got in the restaurant, to see if it was the real goods and not a plant, as you instructed. It's the straight tip, all right. There were no cigarettes inside, only thi3 single sheet of paper covered with little marks looks like music, only it isn't. I don't know much about sight-read

ing, but some of those figures couldn't be played on any instrument!" Henry Blaine opened the little box and drew from it the bit of folded paper, which he spread out upon the desk before him. A glance was sufficient to show him that it was another cryptic message, similar to that which Guy Morrow had found in the Brunell's deserted' cottage, and which he had vainly studied until far into the night- ; . .-- ' - "Very good, Ross. Get back on the job, now, and report any developments as soon as you have an opportunity." When the operative had gone, Blaine drew forth the cryptogram received the previous evening and compared the two. They were identical in character, although from the formation of the letters and figures, the message each conveyed was a different one. The first had baffled him, and he scrutinized the second with freshly awakened interest. The three lines fascinated him by their tantalizing problem, and he could not take his eyes from them. The musical notes could be easily read in place of letters, of course, with the sign of the treble clef as a basic guide, but the other figures still puzzled him. All at once, a word upon the lowest line which explained itself caught his eye; then another and another, until the method of deciphering the whole message burst upon his mind. One swift gesture, a few eagerly scrawled calculations, and the truth was plain to him. - Calling his secretary ,he hastily dictated a letter. . "I want a copy of that sent at once, by special delivery, to every physician and surgeon in town, no matter how obscure. See to it that not one Is overlooked. Even those on the staffs of the diflerent hospitals must be noti

fied, although they are the least likely to be called upon. Above all, don't forget the old retired one, those of shady professional reputation and the fledglings just out of medical colleges. It's a large order, Marsh, but it's bound to bring some result in the next forty-eight hours." With the closing of the door behind his secretary, Henry Blaine rose and paced thoughtfully back and forth the length of his spacious office. The problem before him was the most salient in its importance of any which had confronted him during his investigation of the Lawton mystery probably the weightiest of his entire career. Should he, dared he, throw caution to the winds and step out into the open, in his true colors at last? It was as if he held within his bands the kernel of the mystery, yet surrounded still by an invulnerable shield of cunning and duplicity with which the master criminals had so carefully safe-guarded their conspiracy. He held it within his hands, and yet he could not break the shell of the mystery and expose the kernel of truth to justice. There seemed to be no interstice, no crevice into which he might insert the keen probe of his marvelous deductive power. And yet his exper.

ience told him that there must be some rift, some hiatus in the scheme. If only he could discover that rift, could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the facts which he had circumstantially established, he would ! not hesitate to lay his hands upon the culprits, high in power and influence throughout the country as' they were, and bring them before any court of socalled Justice, however it might be undermined by bribery and corruption. To Be Continued.
