(By Mail.)— While there is considerable indigna- tion and consternation in shipping circles here as a result of the passage at Washington of the Jones merchant marine bill, at least some Japanese are able to see Japan is not in posi- tion to object with any great degree of justice, as long as she herself has on her statute books laws which op- erate against .foreigners.

[CTUTH T 1 . ' o Farmers long ago found it was not advisable to depend on seedmen for corn planting stock. In northern Minnesota only corn that matures there is suitable for seed. The cen- tral zone has a somewhat longer sea- son and can grow larger corn than the north and in in a pinch can get seed from outside states. Southern ‘Minnesota can grow corn almost as large as corn raised in Iowa and Ne- braska. But it has been the experi- ence of farmers in all three zones of the state that homegrown and adapt- ed varieties of seed corn give far bet- ter results than can be obtained from imported seed. If the soil is cold and wet at planting time, seed of strong germination—the best seed obtain- able—is necessary if a good crop is to be had in" the fall. Only by select- ing seed at the right time and tak- ing good care of it after it has been selected can the best results be ob- tained. feed bill. will ‘‘combed.” The tension work with women.

Minnesota Brown of the put the BIENNIAL REPORT OF PRISON WARDEN SHOWS DECLINE IN NUMBERS Net Yearly Profit From Prison Labor for Each Inmate Was $538.36 — According to a recent biefnial re- port submitted by the warden of the ane_aota state prison at Stillwater, there is a gradual decline in the num- ber of inmates confined to the institu- tion. On August 1, 1918, there were 871 inmates, of whom 117 were wo- men. On June 30, 1920, there were 848, nine of whom were women. During the period covered by the report, $188,077.33 have been paid to inmates in salaries, of ~which a large portion has been sent to their dependent families and relatives. Night schools have been opened for such as wish to attend under the di- rection of the superintendent of schools of the city of Stillwater. Pic- ture shows are given once a week in the auditorium, which all inmates in good standing are permitted to at- tend. Religious services are held each Sunday by chaplains, protestant and catholic alternating. The statement of income for prison industries for the year ending June 30, 1920, shows gross sales of $5,- 294,703.84 and net income of $455,- 154.79. Assets of prison industries tetal $5,049,985.04. The average cost per inmate to run the institution for 1919 was $368.30, while the average net earnings were $906.66, leaving a net yearly profit from the labor of each inmate of $538.36. In 1879 the expense per capita was $206.84, or about $160 less than in 1919, while the per capita earnings were only $98.85, or $440 less than in 1919. 1In 1879 there was a deficit of $107.99 per capita as against a profit of $538.36 in 1919. It was not until 1898 that the earnings offset the expenses and with the exception of the years 1900 and 1901 the earn- ings have been.gradually gaining on the expense. The year 1918 was the most profitable, showing net earn- ings per capita of $566.14. The average attendance at school sessions in 1918 was 139 and in 1919 it was 152. 35.7 per cent of the inmates were married, 45 per cent single, 4.7 per cent divorced, 8 per cent separated but not divorced, and 6.5 per cent widows or widowers. The occupation of laborer has the highest representation in numbers, 192 coming under that head; farmers come next with 60; painters, 35; cooks, 33; porters, 22; waiters, 22; teamsters, 21, 90 were illiterate, 197 school, 21 college, two university and 78 business college training. As to religion, Catholics numbered 338; Lutherans, 138; Protestants (ng denomination given), 87; Methodists, 68; Baptists, 23; Congregationalists, 19; Presbyterians, 18. A sentence taken from a paragraph of the report says: “Ome of the sad conditions that corfront a prison worker for which society is much to blame, is the dense ignorance seen among quite a percentage of our in- mates.” SEED CORN TIME NEARS FO RMINNESOTA FARMERS Minnesota, once regarded as a no- corn state, now ranks eighth among the states of the union in the number of bushels of corn produced annually. In the last decade the production of corn in Minnesota has been doubled. Striking progress like this is not the result of chance. There is a rea- son for it and in this case, the reason is not hard to find. Seed corn selection, as preached by the Minnesota Agricultural College and practiced by the -progressive farmers of Minnesota, has played a large part in the wonderful corn growing record made in the state. Seed corn selection has helped to ex- tend the corn belt from the south- east corner of the state to the very extreme northwest corner. It has improved the quality of the corn as well .as the acre yield, and has aided in building up the livestock industry and in enhancing the fertility of the soil. The clean cultivation required by corn has helped to reduce the an- nual tax which weeds levy upon the farmer. Special attention is again called this year by the agricultural exten- sion division of the state university to seed corn time, September 10-20. Selected seed that has matured before those dates is very likely to mature before the corresponding dates in 1921. . Thus the danger of loss by frost is minimized. More than enongh corn ears for the requirements of planting next year should be selected —well shaped ears of medium size and good variety; ears with kernels that are well dented and that fill all the space on the cob and arc well shaped. * Minnesota can and will continue to improve its position among corn growing states in the .uture-as in the past. Seed corn selection time is well established 1n the state and results from it continue to gather force GERMANS RENEW SCIENCE RELATIONS WITH WORI.D (By United Press) Berlin.

While gray, faded hair is not sin- ful, we all desire to retain our youth- ful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so nat- urally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing all gray hairs have disappeared.
