Wrbat a glorious promise! What man- ner of love is th1sl Lord, I would not exchange my cross and sufferings, much less thy dove, for the hove and honors of the world, Only make it more known to me how great ..thy lave is, and, hor3much tNhoti hast for- given hie, that I .may love thee .much again, and be thereby still °better purg- ed from the inordinate love of tem- poral thing's, I't is mine earnes1t de- sire, that the gates of my heart should 'be open to .none but 'thee, that thou alone mayesit dwell in hie.

PRESIDENTIAL CA'MiPAIG'N GETTIING UNDER WAY With the political stage set forga- therings of both national convention's in Chicago nextsuimier, the relative pos'itions oif the Republicans and De- mocrats is being examined in the light of the two national 'eo;nniittee meetings just concluded in Wasdiing t'an. The Republicans already have their oanelidaite, to all effects and purposes. He is President Hoover, With. him goes the 'p'arty platform. This con- sists, brielfly, --in su'pp'orting the pol- icies of Mr, Hoover as laid down tut - der his adm'inis'tration; It covers not only economic matters but the ques- tion of prohibition. '12r. Hoover is accepted to be dry, and so long as Mr: Hoover is the Republican candidate the national Adm'inistra'tion is expected to be dry, too, even though the' Republican con- veittioa ad'apts, some form of a com- promise plank.' Political observers of x41 shades of opinion in the capital re- cognize this. Perhaps the largest organized and c'ohesi've group of sup- porters which Mr. Hoover has is the dry b'lole, and' it would. be political suicide to alienate this group, even if Mr. Hoover desired to do so. Accord- ingly, with Mr. Hoover at the head, the Republican panty in its national leadership' in ad prob'abi'lity will con-' bhrue to take the dry side, alt'hou'gh in localmasters the several state leaders will very largely follow their.. own course as they are doing at pres- ent. On the Democratic side, the meet- ing just concluded shows almost cer- tainly the policy which the party will take at its Chicago convention, a week or two after the Republican convention has been co'nncluded. It most likely will adopt the Raskob proposal for a so-called • prohibi'ti'on "relferendum," From the political paint of view, this proposal has one overwhelming advantage; it does not, on the face of thigs, commit the party either to the wet or dry s'i'de. It is a proposal which, accordingly, the . dry 'South is expected by party l'e'aders tosupport, as well as the wet East. Party lead- ers may be mistaken in this viewpoint particularly .in view of dissatisfaction expressed over the terms of the pro-. posed referendum by groups of or- ganized drys that' have already be- come vocal on tite subject, but so far the proposal has been highly.success- ful, The. D'em'ocratic committee meet. in'g just held also 'brough't to a focus. the debate over the presidential can- didacy of Gov. Franklin D. Roose- velt of New: York. Champions off Governor Roosevelt believe they will carry the field easily. Some declare their candidate will be named by the party convention on the first ballot. At any rate they assert that he is the leading man in the field, and at pres- ent has far and away the most dele- gates pledged in his be'h'alf. ,',hese allegations de'veioped an en- dercoorent of considerable bitterness at the D'ciuocratic Oonemit+tee' meet- ing just concluded, which . was evi- dent to all observers. -Party lines will undoubtedly close up after a nomina- tion of a candidate is once trade.

'Draw a circle of eight -utile radius. Consider one- third of the /and ^ planted to corn—a city of 89,000 people would' have a 'c'onstant supply of gas from its corn- stalks. "Corn is winning itself a new row to hoe in the industrial and agri- cultural economy of this country, and the potential developments in this 'field are beyond 'conjecture," says Neil 'M. Clark.. 'Practically all but the kernel of corn is waste. Stalks, .cobs, leaves,' husks, have to be disposed of at a Considerable money or dalbo'r cost. However, for twenty years 'and more investigators leave been patiently delving into' corn's chemical secrets, In the last e'igh't years they have; met with .sensational success, One of the fist discoveries was that, dyes could be made from corncobs. Later, fol- lowing many experiments, it was. found that from five to 'ten cubic feet o'f 'gas can be obtained per pound of cornstalks, "Most of the corn wastes investi- gations have been concentrated at the Iowa S'ta'te. College at Ames. A late 'bulletin of the college l'is'ts well over 100 products that can now be made from different 'parts of the corn, including paper of several grades, papier-mache, wallboards, and other substitutes for, building 'lumber, ray- ons' acetic acid, acetone, a sugar that can be used by diabetics, oxalic acid, plastic materials, dynamite absorb- ent, proxylin varnish pipe covering, electrical and heat insulation, a hard rubber sul.,slitute, punk, library' pastes, a chemical that might replace :gaso- line as a m'o'tor •fuel, golf tees, pot- tery, -'Tubber' heels, -ash. trays," Regarding the effect on 'farmers, Mr. 'Clark says: "Estimates place the average cornstalk production- at one and. one -'h'a'lf tons ,per acre. At three dollars per ton, this means a' clear net yield to the farmer of $4;59 per corn acre—and even more, as a ''la'bor re- turn,; if be gathers and delivers. Fur- thermore, he can get all value that he no'w gets from the stalks. He can rue 'hags and cattle in .the field all winter, if he likes, and' gather the stalks in the spring after the animals have eaten as much as they will "Scien'tis'ts have made im'mense progress's" and revealed! surprising things that can' be done with corn wastes, 1I't remains to solve the busi- mess problems and, apply this knowl- edge >practically."
