ASSlSI . VAs ~ ~ VAVVSl1lSlls
The movement started by the
Woman's Club of this city toward
the development and final build
ing Of a Y. M. C. A. building is
in every way commendable. Mi
not is in great need Of such an
institution. While the Indepen-
dent is glad to see churches erect
ed, still the matter would not be
complete at all if we did not have
in connection with them a good,
well-managed Y. M. C. A. build
ing. Very few cities, in fact not
in this state, have 90 many young
men without homes as has Minot,
and they have no place to go
other than perhaps the pool
rooms, etc., where they can spend
their evenings. For this reason
and many others every earnest,
thoughtful citizen should help in
every way he can to support the
movement to get as early as pos
sible a good building.

At the corner OF Zarragossa and

hundred people gathered last night
and listened to a very interesting
talk on the Salvation work in India,
by Alex. B. Sherman, who was dress
ed in native costume and spoke of
women officers of the Salvation Army
who for two weeks slept in a prison
with a murderess. Another officer, a
native, he said, was stabbed seven
times by one Of her friends yet In
spite of all opposition Is today one
of the leading officers in Ceylon.
The crowd appreciated the talk,
to judge by the way the nickels and
dimes were thrown on the big drum
and from all appearances the collec-

PRIZES FOR THE BEST SAMPLES

Coming Festivities ana Drainage
Convention Combined Are Expected
TO Attract Large Crowds.
The chamber Of commerce, assisted
by the citizens Of Oklahoma City, o. r,
will. beginning Nov. 20 and lasting un-
til Dec. inclusive, hold corn carni-
val at Oklahoma City On larger and
more interesting scale than those that
q few years ago attracted so much at
tention to Sioux City and AtchIson.
says the st. Louis Fost- Dispatch.
For the past five or six years mer-
chants Of Oklahoma City have beenfof-
fering prizes for the best specimens of
different products Of the farm, thus In
teresting the farmer in the perfection
Of the quality of bis crops. The speci-
mems so accumulated would be prepar-
ed by the merchants and shipped to
their friends In other states to show
what could be done on bit of land In
Oklahoma. The summer Of the worlds
fair at st. Louis the merchants Of Ok
lahoma City interested the farmers of
both territories In the selection Of prize
samples Of corn, and small premiums
were offered for the best specimens.
So much interest was taken In the mat
ter and such fine samples Of corn were
selected that the merchants instead Of
sending 1t away decided to select the
best and make display at the worlds
fair. Great was their surprise to find
that when the awards were made on
agricultural products Oklahoma had
taken the prize on corn, having a bet
ter display Of corn than any other
country or state In the world.
Last year as souvenirs to friends and
others in ''the states" 5000 ostton bolls
just as they were ready to burst were
inclosed in small boxes and sent to all
parts of the United States. At frst, on
account Of the unprecedented corn crop
Oklahoma will harvest this year, It was
almost decided to send ears Of corn,
but when the cost Of postage was con-
sidered the expense would be too great
in relation to the result. Then the corn
carnival was agreed on. =
The promoters Of Oklahoma's corn
carnival this year. which Is the irst at
tempt to initiate those that have made
Iowa and Kansas famous as corn pro-
ducing sections, are George z. Gard
ner, one Of Oklahoma City's Oldest and
most enterprising business men, and
A. w. McKeand, secretary Of the cham
: Der Of commerce.
A new building, now almost complet.
ed, will be fitted up and used for the
corn palace. Three floors, 175 by 14O
feet In dimensions, will be devoted 70
various displays. and It Ia expected
there will be no room untaken. 1t ia

thirty-eight feet, and nine feet from
deck to bottom The steel bottom is
seventy feet long and the dipper-
the wonderful dipper which is destin-
ed to carry out this great undertaking
weighs four tons, with a capacity
of two and half cubic yards. The
dredge is fitted throughout with mod
ern machinery, is electric lighted and
has accommodations on the second
deck for all employed in its opera
ton. Eight men are employed as fol-
lows: Dipper man, oiler, runner, two
deck men, fireman, cook and a watch
man. The Everglade Is cutting a six
ty foot canal, ten feet deep, commenc-
ing at the mouth of Sabate Creek
Her course is ten degrees south of
west for mile and a half, thence
ten degrees north of west for a like
distance and then due west until out
of the rock infested portion of the
Glades. The course will then be
straight to Lake Okeechobee
The Okeechobee, the second
dredge to be built, by the Internal I'm

supervision of Messrs. Newman,
Skinner and Cassidy, all experienced
men in the construction of such
craft and who built the Everglade
Several weeks ago, Mr.. Reed A.

means the two territories because Of
the proximity Of statehood.

time Of the carnival The best exhibits
Of corn shown at these fairs Will be

there capture the prize On corn and
sustain Its reputation.
In the selection Of the exhibits each
variety must be strictly free from any
mixtures. Corn entered as white must
not have a tinge Of any other color in
it. The yellow corn will be required to
have no white capped grains and
should have oil red cobs. In fne, every
variety shown must be strictly first
class In every respect. The score card
and rules Of the Oklahoma Improved
Breeders association viii govern the
awarding Of the exhibits.
