The contestants for the corn prizes must enter and have their acres laid off before the tlrst day of May, 1914. The acre must in every case be laid off by some competent person and accepted hy the coin mit tee. All contestants will be required to make affidavit, in form prescribed by the committee, as to the. number of pounds of wheal or oats, threshed in dry condition, from said aero, to be signed hy himself and tin? party who threshed it. and tile the same with the chairman of the committee on or be fore I he 1 ["?th day of .Inly, I 9 I 4.

Chalmers, Chairman, A. il, Billson, H. L. Veiner, Committee. i\> the Public. . Fellow citizens, these contests not only help tho producer, hut are of beneilt to the non-producer, the banker, mendiant, doctor, lawyer, manufacturer and operative all of whom are non-producers, but have to bo fed; and what helps one ?lass helps all, and when we prove to the world what our soii will do hy pro ducing a hundred fold per acre of these necessities of life, it will en hance Hie value of our property and liring good people into our county. So let us all lend a helping hand and make a success that we will al] be proud of. Brother farmers, let us begin now and make a change in our mode of farming. Instead of planting a little of our land in corn and the balance in cotton, let us sow one-third down, plant one-third in corn and one third in cotton; but it would be better still to sow half (lie land and dix iib> the other half equally between norn and cotton. Wo would then he Kin to put vegetation (humus) in our soil, which is so badly needed. Tho lato Prof .1 S. Newman said that if we would seed our land, and then sow peas on the stubble, we would soon need no guano. Now. let us all join the contest for next year. Sow one acre in wheat and one in oats, after being well pre pared. Some ol' us fanners do not make as much as a hundred bushels of com a year. I.et us begin this fall to prepare our aero for corn next year. If the land is not In stubble, and it is possible to do so, it would do good to rake up leaves and rich dirt in Hie wood? and broadcast it. lt would nor take long to haul it if nearby, and it would be putting vege tation in the .oil; then turn the land close and deep, and if you have ma nure, broadcast and harrow in well; sow a buslu l irf rye, cross harrow and you will have a winter cover. Labor spent tills way will beat buying corn on credit three time? in the game, and the good pari about it ls tim stuff will bo made at home. Then if tho crib ls not harder to blow away and the farmer has not got a better smile on his face, old Uncle Brase .lohn failed to return from the battle, and Aunt Mollie, as good ns she could he, Is left a widow. Respectfully, T. Y. Chalmers. Chairman Committee. PROM HOl'SKTOl? TO DI Kuili IIHdreth Instantly Ki High Power Aeroplun Rochester, N. Y., Oct.

The electric spark that set off e blast was sent forward by Presi nt Wilson from Washington. The CODIplishment was In every way ccessf ul. Washington, Oct. 10.-President Wilson, at exactly 2.02 o'clock. East ern time, this afternoon pressed a hutton In tho Whito llouso which sent an electric current Hashing more than 4,000 miles over land and un der seas to blow up the Gamboa dike in the Panama Canal. .lust before sending tho signal President Wilson dispatched a mes sage to Col. Geo. Goethals, chief en gineer on tho Canal Zone: "My warmest congratulations." Practically no ceremony accompa nied the giving of the signal. The President, Immediately after lunch eon, went to tho ofllce of Chief Usher I. H, Hoover, in the Executive Man sion, where tho instrument was wait ing. Chief Operator E. W. Smithers tested tho line just before 2 o'clock, and scut four dots and dashes through to Panania as tho signal that the President was ready.-' "Gniiibott is Busted." Mr. Wilson stepped forward just as the hands of tho White House clock touched the hour and pressed tho button, (lashing to Panama the current which was to send tons and tons of the Gamboa dike Hying heavenward and perform practically the last act in uniting the waters of the two oceans. "Well, that is all there is to it." said the President with a smile as he turned away. "Gamboa is busted." Secretary McAdoo and Secretary Tumulty were the only other officials present. The electric spark which originat ed when President Wilson pressed a button in the White House was the silent agent which sped more than 4,000 miles over land and under wa ter and ignited tho immense chains of dynamite which practically removed the last obstruction in the Panama Canal. Experts calculated that with in four seconds after President Wil son pressed the button In Washing . The Atlantic and Pacific oceans were not actually united to-day when the Gamboa dlko was destroyed and the waters of Gatun lake were allow ed to flow Into Culebra cut, as lake and cut are, at the normal surface of the waters. 85 feet above the level of the sea. The destruction of tho Gamboa dike, however, removes tho last ob struction to the navigation of the greater part of the canal by light draft vessels, . i \ opens up connec tion between th great Gatun lake, which already is practically ready to discharge vessels ?tito tho Atlantic through Gatun locks and tho Pacific division. The waters of the lake rush through tho broken dike at Bamboa, sweep through Culebra cut until they reach tho locks at Pedro Miguel, which mark the beginnig of the descent from the top level of the canal to the Pacific. The first craft to enter will be the (team dredges, whose work is to clear and open the channels. The presence of small craft in por tions of tho canal, however, does not as yet mean ocean-to-ocean naviga tion. This will first be possible when Bach link in the canal has a sufficient depth of water and all the locks are working. In the Intermediate stage, naviga tion may be effected in local lengths af the canal and to some degree may be extended from length to length Hong the whole waterway. To-day's event served to demon itrate the nearness of tho canal to the operating stage, lt also formal ly brought to a close tho work of the central division in the cut. for the Hedging operations which are to suc ceed the steam shovel work will be Hider a different organization.

If the condition is allowed to continue grave ailments often result. There is, however, no occasion for alarm, and the sensible (lung to do but it should ho done instantly-is to give tho baby a small dose of a mild laxative-tonic. In tho opinion of a great many people, among them such well-known persons as tho parents of Hertha IA?O Woodward, !1 years old, of Moultrie, Ga., the proper remedy is Dr. ('aidwell's Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. 1. N. Woodward says that little Her tha was troubled with constipation for over a year, and that after trying several different, hinds of remedies she found her relief in Syrup Pepsin, lt is a mild, pleasant-tasting laxative, which every person likes, does not gripe nor cramp, and contains that most excellent of all digestants, pep sin. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is es pecially intended for infants, chil dren, women, old people and all otb- j ors to whom harsh cathartics, salt wat eis, pills, etc., are distressing.
