Oldenburg, John Minger. M. C Kafoury, T. D. Trick and B. F. Ramp. Not an exhibitor grew less than bushels to the acre and many had yields of almost 50 bushels. An interesting exhibit is composed of nubbins. The kernels are big and well filled out. Mr. Chapin points to It in his demonstration talks and says: 'Don't by anv means use corn like that for seed. It is not fit for seed. It will produce the same kind of corn as t is. Get the best acclimated seed ana you will grow the best corn." VICTORS LEAD BIG Pine Samples Exhibited and Ways to Produce It Revealed, IVhile Warning .Is Issued Against Untried Grain for Planting. SALEM, Or., Nov. 13. (Special.) That corn as good as that produced in any of the states can be grown In Ma rion County and, in fact, the entire Willamette "Valley, was demonstrated today, when the first corn show ever held in this city was opened. The object of the show, which is un der the direction of Luther J. Chapin, county agriculturist, is to prove to the farmers that corn can be grown here as profitably as anywhere. The ex hiblts. supplemented with demonstra tion talks by Mr. Chapin and other experts, are proving it. The first thing Mr. Chapin tells the people is that satisfactory results can be achieved only by the use of acclimated seed. Acclimated Seed Exhibited. He exhibits samples of corn from seed that is acclimated, and samples from seed that was brought from the Eastern states just before planting. The ears of the latter corn were large and the kernels were plump, but while the grain produced from it is on large ears, the kernels are shriveled and of no worth. Ears from acclimated seed are just as large and the kernels are plump and meaty. Another feature Of the exhibition 13 the seed testing demonstrations. Some times the grains do not germinate well because of an inexplicable lack of vitality or because of early frost. Mr. Chapin illustrates with various methods how to tell whether the grains have the desired vitality. Tvls he con siders one of the most important tea tures of the show. "The farmers generally have not been successful in growing corn here," said Mr. Chapin, "because they have not known how. But they are being shown and the valley is certain to become a great corn-growing section. Deep plowing in the Fall, if possible, if not in the Spring, is necessary. After planting the corn fields sho Id be har rowed twice first just before the corn comes up and again after the sprigs are four or five inches high. The first cultivation should be deep, and then there should be three shallow cult! vations. With the growing of corn generally in the valley the stock busl Hess would receive a grrit Impetus and tne people would find it even more profitable than the hopgrowlng Indus try." Gfgaitto Ear Numerous. Ears 12 inches long and four and elx inches in circumference are plentl ful at the exhibition. J. B. Hawthorne, of this county, has an exhibit of 100 earse taken at random from a field that produced 60 bushels to the acre, and it was a young prune orchard at that. No allowance was made for the land that was lost as a result of the trees. Because of the cultivation the prune trees grew In one year twice the size of ENGLISH ARREST STRANGER Mysterious Man With Many Names Detained in London. LONDON, Nov. 14. A mysterious oerson known under the names of Worst. Von der Goltz and Bridgman Taylor, described as a Major in the Mexican army and suspected of being German spy. was remanded In a police court today on the charge of failing to register as an alien enemy. The prosecution said that, altnougn the prisoner was charged with this minor offense, he was under the grave suspicion of the Foreign Office, the Admiralty and the police and that he might have to answer more serious charges. The man had in his possession a passport issued in Washington bearing the name Bridgman Taylor and descrlb- ng him as a Major in the Mexican army. . The prosecution mentioned sums of money which it said had been remitted to the prisoner by an official named F. Faber. The prosecutor said he did not as yet know whether the official was a German or a representative of the United States consulate. When arrested by a detective and asked whether his name was Taylor or Von der Goltz, the prisoner is alleged to have replied: 'Taylor, but how came you to know that I am Von der Goltz?"

A Western politician, well known on account of his baldness and ready wit, surprised his friends by appearing with a new growth of hair. Many of his old friends did not know him and others thought he had a wig. On being asked how he did it, he made the following statement: I attribute the remarkable growth of my, hair to the use of the following simple recipe, wnicn any lady or gentleman can mix at home: To a half pint of water add 1 oz. of hay rum. a small box of Earbo Compound and St. ox. of glycerine. Apply to the scalp two or thre.e times a week with the finger tips. It not only promotes the growth of the hair, but removes dan druff. scalp humors and prevents the hair from falling out. It darkens streaked, faded, gray hair and makes the hair soft and glossy. These ingredi ents can be purchased at any drug store at very little cost and mixed at home. Adv.
