Speaking of Red Willow county's *
hibit at the corn show, the Lincoln
Journal has the following complimentary
remarks to offer: "The east half of the
center table is occupied by Red Willow
county's exhibit, in charge of William
Coleman, of McCook. Mr.. Coleman has
a very fine individual display, and then
the county display ofabout forty varieties
is entered for the prize of SIS for the lar
gest number of varieties from any coun-
ty west of the tooth meridian. The corn
is of fine quality, though with thicker
cobs than that from most eastern coun-
ties. Some sod corn of excellent quality
that went forty bushels to the acre is a
sample product Of virgin prairie"

serious objection to Christmas
