~ ROM every section of Montana
come reports of active prepara-
tons for the celebration of indie |
pendence Day. In nearly every city and
town in the state elaborate preparations
are being made for the celebration of
the nations birthday and all over the
states wide area a commendable en-
thusiasm is manifested. There is every
indication that Montanas citizens will
celebrate the Fourth of July with de-
gree of enthusiasm such as has not been
displayed for many years.
Buttes share in the celebra ton should
not be neglected. The zenith city of the
state cannot afford to suffer by COMPARE
son with the other cities of Montana and
in the patriotic exercises attending In
dependence Day the capital of Silver
Bow county should set the pace for other
sections of the state. Objection has been
raised in Butte. in the form of mild
protest against the manner of defraying
the expenses of the days events and
attention has been called to the fact that
those who contribute largely to the cele-
bration often receive no direct benefit
in a financial way.
In Montana towns in other sections of
the state the preparations for the annual
celebration are carried on along the same
lines now being followed by the commit
tee at work in Butte. Residents Of other
cities of the state contribute willingly
to the patriotic plan and are satisfied
with the direct benefit that results from
their cities being found in the front
ranks of Montana towns. In the city
of Butte this year it is a question of
keeping up with the procession or falling
behind the other enterprising cities of
the state and public sentiment appears
to be overwhelmingly in favor of keep
ing Butte in the advanced position the
city has occupied for so many years.

purpose for which it designed.

The speaker was an old, gaunt indi-

gray beard hid the lower portion of his
tanned and wrinkled face. 1t was quite
evident that he was more at home be-
hind a pillow or on reaper than behind
a desk.
The ear to which he referred forms
the pinnacle of small mountain OF
corn in Missouris booth in the agricul-
ture building at the Pan-American ex-
position. The ear is u inches long and
Az inches in diameter. It has thirty
four rows of kernels. The corn is of a
yellow color.
THAT ear came from Nodaway coun-
ty, NO." said one of the attendants to
the old man. 81 don't know how it hap
pened to be so big"
Look here. young man, do you mean
to tell folks that any ear of corn like
that ever grew" said a buatling old
woman. who had been carefully exam
lining various samples Of oats.

one of thirteen ears on single stalk Of

You aren't the first one." said Secre
tary Yost. more question are asked
about that big ear of corn than any
other thing We have on exhibition. A
great many people think it is a real ear,
1t was sent to us from Nodaway coun-
ty. The cob is a piece of wood and the
kernels of corn are stuck to it in some
way SO that 1t looks perfectly natural
Why only half an hour ago a pipe manu-
facturer came here and asked me to save
the cob of it for him, when the fair
was over. He wanted to make some bic
pipes out of it. It's a clever niece nj
