“Corn will sell twenty cents per
bushel higher than wheat within the
next ten years and stay there,” is the
wview expressed by H. D. Wetmore, a
‘grain man and globe trotter, who has
given the subject much'stuay. “Corn
is very rapidly coming into its own,
which means that it is worth more
pound for pound than wheat as meat
and fat producer,” he said. ‘The
world has but a limited area of land
‘ldnptable to raising corn, as it can
only be produced at certain altitudes,
Wwhile the wheat area is practically
anlimited. The only reason that corn
has always sold lower than wheat is
because from the inception of the
trade in this country the foreigner
was unfamiliar with its uses and
value, and we have always grown
more than we could use at home,
This country has now come to the
point where it does not neced to ex
port corn and the grain therefore is
~rapidly assuming its rightful position
" awmong the cereals.” i

t PLOW UP COTTGN CROP
To at Least Ten Per Cent is Order Giv
en By Farmers’ Union Officers,
Atlanta, Ga.—Members of the Farm
ers’ Union nave been ordered by the
national officers to plow up at least 10
per cent., ¢f the cotton that has heen

lowed, and the same, it is belidved,
will result in an appreciable reduction
of the cotton acreage.
The order as sent out to every union
in the cotton states is imperative, and
makes the destruction of 10 per cent.
of each member’s cotton prospects a
certalnty, so far as the heads of the
organization can control those under
them.
A careful record will be kept as to
the result of the movement. Each sec
retary will be expected to report those
‘who cbey as well as those who oppose
the order.

the proposed new district, and it is
stated, is the direct result of recent

FINALE OF APPEAL
State Supreme Court Sends McNelis
Matter Back to Court of Appeals.
Atlanta, Ga.—The supreme court has
gent back to the state court of ap
peals the appeal in the case of Frank
McNelis vs. the State, from the city
court of Richmond county, in which
the constitutionality of the state pro
hibition law was attacked.
It is understood that this action
means that the court of appeals will
permit the withdrawal of the case in
accordance with the request of attor
neys for MecNelis. The case was
brought originally to the court of ap
peals, and as it contained constitution
al questions was certified to the su
preme court as the law requires. Fol
lowing argument in the supreme court,
attorneys for the defendant asked per
mission to withdraw the entire awpeal,
their object being, it is stated, to at
tack the prohibition law first in the
United States court.
Since the supreme court would have
to render the decision in the -case,
should a final decision be rendered, its
action in sending the case back to
the court of appeals is taken to mean
that the withdrawal as asked defend
ant's attorneys will be permitted.

SIGN OF A BEATEN MAN.,
Runner Who Looks Behind Almost
Sure to Lose the Race.
“There are many more good dis
tance runners now than in my days,”
said van old time champion after
watching the three mile scratch race
at the New York Athletic Clib games
in Madison Square Garden. “But the
habits of the runners have not chang
ed any, for I noticed one little trick
in the final sprint for victory when
that used to attach to it.
“To the casual onlooker there was
nothing to choose between the two
leaders when they were beginning the
last qmarter of a mile. Right from the
crack of the pistol they were run
ning almost stride for stride with the
low, graceful, easy action of the real
long distance runner.
“Neither had called into use the
reserve power ‘which must be utilized
in the final sprint for victory when
they turred into the stretch for the
final lap. Then one of them slightly
turned his head to see where the
third man was.
“‘That man is beaten,’ was the
thought which occurred to me at
once, and it proved true, as always
for when the dash for the finish be
gan he allowed his rival to get a
lead of five yards before going after
him in earnest pursuit. ‘
“From thaf point to the finish there
was no perceptible difference in the
speed of the men, but the man who
had turned his head to make sure
that he would get secoend place, ins
stead of bending every energy to win,
of course landed where his thoughts
placed him.”—New York Sun.
Concrete Belt Armor.
The use of re-enforced concrete
armor on warships has recently been
suggested. An Italian engineer, Lor
enzo d'Adda, has been led by the suc
cess of concrete land fortifications,
as revealed in the Russian-Japanese
war, to construct armor plates of re
enforced concrete, covered with thin
plates of steel, as a protection against
the immediate effects of the impact of
shells. Concrete armor plates, even
when re-enforced by stout and close
ly inlaid iron bars, must obviously
be much thicker than hardened steel
armor, but as the specific gravity
of the material is only one-third that
of steel the weight of the armor need
not be increased, while its cost may
be very greatly diminished. The sub
stitution of re-enforced concrete for
steel armor on a first class battleship
would effect a considerable saving.
The practicability of the substitution
will be decided by the result of ex
periments, soon to be made, on the
effect of shots on the re-enforced
concrete plates.—Scientific American.
A Severe Sentence.
Lord Eskgrove, a Scotch judgs,
while desaribed as learned in the old
law of Scotland, was given to saying
ludicrous and absurd things when pre
siding in court. On one occasion,
when condemning the accused to death
‘for having murdered a soldier, the
judge aggravated the offence thus:
“And not only did you murder him
whereby he was bereaved of his life
but you did thrust, or push, or pierce
or project, or propel the lethal weap:
on through the bellyband of his regi
mental breeches, which were his ma
jesty’s.”—The American -Lawver,

A TALE OF OLD ITALY,
Fra Antonio, the poet,
Of the old town of Pisa,
Oft saw in the city’s streets ¢
A falr young girl, spirituelle, !
With visage like an angel’s.
Ever alone she was
And so Fra Antonio never heard -
Her voice, albeit 3
It was his dream to.
After months ¢of vain longing ‘ s
To hear her voice, :
One day he espied her L
In the market place 2
With a companion. o
Ardent ear gave the poet.
She ywas speaking!
She said: Juliet,
I must leave thee. I would fain
Go and feed my face
In yon hashery.” ® 3
And then Fra Antonio slunk away
And hurled himself’ '
Into the River Ardo
And, under the circumstances,
Can you blame him?
