Beaman married, Saturday, to Miss Bennett. Another of the un-terrified bachelors of the famous Elsmore organization has surrendered unconditionally, the terms of capitulation being written Saturday afternoon by Judge Smith at the court house.

Miss Dora May Bennett, of Elsmore, captured Ira H. Beaman and brought him into the matrimonial camp. Beaman lives between Elsmore and Bronson, the latter place being his post-office, but he was a member of the Elsmore club, and he made no effort to conceal the fact that he has seen the error of his ways and in fact seemed a bit proud of the complete surrender. The above young people were raised in this commuity and will reside on a farm near Bronson, therefore we don't need to speak the praise they Bob Ard has taken to the brush.

ATTENTION! CORN GROWERS Wre have a fine lot of white and yellow seed has been carefully picked and nubbed by hand. You should plant only the best seed, regardless of cost. Why? Land, as well as labor and all other items connected with the growing of corn, is higher than it was a few years ago. By planting good seed, you can hope for results, because under ordinary conditions good seed will produce well matured corn, which is very essential at this time. There has been a world of soft immature corn on the market for the last few years, and we believe a great deal of this trouble was caused by not having good seed corn to start with.

By planting the best seed, this trouble can be largely overcome. Corn seems to have lost that hardy well-matured flinty condition that it once had. Therefore plant good seed and get good results. High Germination produces strong plants. We have an unshelled ear in each sack to show the type of corn.

We also have a nice lot of cane seed and pure German millet seed. Call at the Elevator, look at thejeed, get our prices and leave your orders. Respectfully, -Adv. J. M.

COLTIVATIOH Discussions by Mon Experienced in Growing This Valuable Crop CORN BED FIRST TJHING CONSIDERATION t(By Luke Hood, Areola, III.) Iii racing broom corn, first thing be considered in raising and handling tho crop is (ho seed bed.

To good bed, plough the ground carlr in the spring as possible, five or six inches deepvat least let the ground lay you are iady la plant. This will $lve time or the weed and grass seed to get! Then disc it and work down with roHer, and harrow it. i The next thing Is seed, and for one not experienced in taking care of it will be much, better to get the seed from some good reliable seedsmen. If, however, the person prefer tosave his own seed, he should let the broom corn stand the field until good and ripe, then puX ad (ihaive iip, leaving it on the until it is thoroughly cured, after which it should be threshed and stored in a good dry place. testing seed, I find it a good way take a sample of the seed and roll it tightly in a piec of old wollen next, wet thoroughly warm water, and keep in a warm tlace for a few days.

Then unroll ftnd 'ou can see what per cent of good seed you have. Care should be taken however, to keep the cloth damp. Plant in rows three feet, four Inches apart about gixty s.eeds to the rod, jand plant two and one-half inches After the corn is up about an put the roller on it. Next give ft a jsoqd. plouhin wltji any good cultivator, or eagle claws.

The three shovel cultivator la preferable for the jfirst two cultivations, after which we use the surface cultivator. After the irpom is ploughed three or four times, it Bhoujd be laid by when about waist high. Cutting should begin as as the seed begins to fill out, or As soon as the heads are all out. It (the weather will permit, allow the pom to lay on the table until the fol lowing day. Corn, should be' sheded jvhile you seed It, and placed on slats bout three Inches deep, or a good Wmtul to an', eight foot slat.

The llepth, however, wil depend on the condition of the corn, and also wheth-, er the shed is an open or a closed jone. The air should be allowed to pass freely through the corn. (Leave tne corn on tne slats eight or jten days, or the 'stems are dry. Brpom corn should" be blocked before failing as it puis it In better shape Jo bale, makes a smoother bale and doesn't take as many men to handle it. -Let the corn lay in the bulk a week 'or ten days.

Care should be jta baling jto straighten the corn, or placgd in bunches while butted. We prefer the Australian variety of seed, as the brush is longer, and funs more to h.urj. pROOM MANUFACTURERS WILLING TO HIGHER PRICES FOR GOOD BROOM CpRN. By Herbert P. Gardner, of Gardner proom Amsterdam, N.

Fanners stand in their own light the way they prepare their broom corn for market. In the first place, J.hey are not particular enough with seed they select for planting; and after planting, not enough attention is paid to cultivation-. As a general rule, latjse on they are. careless about harvesting their brooincofri, and very often a little of it stands in the field for quite a long time, with the result that a lot of red corn is produced, yery many growers think that anything will do as long as it geiB Into (he bale, paying no attention to the yery important matter of seeding and baling. Here is where the.y make a yery sad mistake, for broomcprn welll seeded, handled and baled will bring from $10.00 to "20.00 pore Per ton at all times.

We believe that the broom manufacturers will be willing at all times to pay the farmers good prices fpr their broomcprn if they would be more careful with it. More attention Should be given by the growers, to broomcorn seeds, So that their corn pould bij prpperly cured and put In first class condition, as the extra price, they would get for their corn pay for the sheds, and after yards these same sheds could be gaed for other purposes, such aa storing machinery, wagons, etc. If you are a broom corn raiser ii will pay you to read this column erv week we run it.

H. Cramer heads the ticket for mayor, and F. C. Mooney comes next for police judge. The five men receiving the highest vote for councilmen were, Fred Krokstrom, Col.

C. C. West, Charles Braden, Charles Wilson and Bert Watson. Quite an amusing incident occurred during the election of councilmen, some person stuffed the ballot box with suffragist tickets. It wouldn't have been good for the guilty person's hide if Chairman Pittser had gotten a hold of him he surely would have been beheaded.

But the joke was laughed off and the meeting was harmonious. The attendance represented republicans, bull moose, democrats, progressives, socialists, suffragist (but the latter escaped), farmers, business men and the printer. Col. West was called on to make a speech, but declined, we suppose, because there was no moun tain dew to wet his whistled Then the caucus adjournede die. MS NEW LAW USELESS ON If there is a fire in any township, and there are 2,300 townships in the state, the township clerk is to be notti-fied and he is to notify the fire mar shal within two days that there has been a fire in his bailiwick.

Then within ten days the township clerk is to send complete report to the state fire marshal, showing the owner of the property, the tenant, if any, the origin of the fire, the actual damage, the amount of insurance and any other matter which mighj be needed in the preliminary investigation of the fire. For making these reports the township clerk is to be paid 50c for each fire. If the fire occurs within any small town within a township the township clerk is to be paid. If it occurs in any city where there is a fire department or where the city clerk is paid, then the state fire marshal does not have to furnish the 50c fee. This law is useless, but it will cost the state thousands of dollars annually.
