The hardest thing in the world for a woman to understand is why a man doesn't fall in love with her. Love must indeed be blind when it makes two people think as much of each other as they do of them selves. Some girls can't even wear an air of innocense without making it con spicuous. It is quite natural that when two hearts beat as one they beat in double quick time. A man's dyspepsia is sometimes due to the fact that some woman has been trying to reach his heart through his stomach. of alum and salts of alumina in food should b« prohibited." —Prof. Wood, Harvard Univ.

Twenty thousand dollars in prem iums is the inducement held out by the Iowa Corn Growers' Association to the farmers of Iowa, for exhibits at the annual show to be given at the Coliseum, Des Moines, Decem ber 5-17, inclusive. Corn is king in Iowa. The Hawk eye state leads the world in this im portant cereal. This is a bumper crop, and the 1910 show will be the greatest in our history. Every condition is right. The interest in proper selection and care of seed corn, the wide-spread teach ing on this subject through the pub lic press, Farmers' Institutes, Short Courses, Chautauqua lectures, and the schools—all theBe have aroused tremendous enthusiasm. The work recently done by the Soils Special in teaching rotation of crops, liberal and proper applica tion of farm manures, thorough drainage and the feeding of live stock—all this has culminated in intense interest in corn culture. How to double the yield and gain big returns from high-priced lands, how to get a better grade of corn, in fact the very best, and how to get the most money out of this mag niticient crop—all these are implied in the great Iowa Co^n Show. This show ca31s for not only corn, but wheat, oats and other grains. $1000 in cash, together with four silver medals and one gold medal has been offered by the Quaker Oat Company for the best Iowa oats, sixteen different classes with liberal premiums. The $20,000 in prizes consist of cash, merchandise, manufactured articles in imple ments, machinery and silos or live stock. You an ascertain all the facts by writing to the Secretary, Prof. M. L. Bowman, 1125 Flem ing Building, Des Moines, Iowa, for catalog and premium list. You can help the work by send ing to him at once a list of a few live corn growers of your locality.

Last week the official papers of Taylor county published the returns of the vote of 1908 as cast up by the board of supervisors of that county. After the election the newspapers were denied the copy by the auditor and the board of supervisors and the papers brought suit to compel them to cause the same to be published as any other board proceedings. The hearing was before Judge H. M. Towner who ordered that the officials of the county cause the same to be published as contended by the pub Jtshers. The county appealed the case to the supreme court and that tribun al has recently rendered a decision sustaining Judge Towner. It is a little late to give out the proceedings, but the newspapers will no doubt think it better lete. than never. Be sides finally having to pay for the publication, the county will have to pay for the expense of the suit. An other case of "penny wise and pound foolish."—Corning Free Press.
