Show Take An Interest In II For II
Will Benefit You.

Realizing that as fine corn as
can be grown on earth. is grown
in the Vicinity of Monroe City,
Mo, the Monroe City DEMO.
Graf some ten years ago estab-
lished a little corn show for the
benefit of agricultural sub
scribers.
The farmers have slowly tax
en- an increasing interest in it
until last year for the small
premium of l years subscription
of DEMOCRAT to the first white
and the same to first yellow
corn. the entries bad grown to
quite a respectable number.
This year James B. Gray, Joe
Wilson, Allie Wilson, Byron
Mcfarland and several other
farmers have taken an interest
in it and promised to back the
little Annual Show with their
aid and influence.
To that end, Tuesday, Mr..
Gray and a representative of
the DEMOCRAT invited some of
the business men to cooperate
with them in a small financial
way and this is the result:
There will be four cash prizes
given. IS for the best 10 ears of
white corn and So so fol next
best and one years subscription
of the Monroe City DEMOCRAT
for third And the same three
prizes for same grade of yellow
corn.
Quality, form and size of
corn will be taken into consid
Grafton when corn is judged.
Now MIR. Farmer, we ask
you to awaken and assist us IN
freely advertising you and
Grand Old Missouri. It is for
you not for US, for we are all
out and nothing in.
In the past the corn has been
given to those wanting it, who
would agree to use it for seed,
This year the farmers who have
taken an interest in the show
say: No don't give it away, re-
serve it and we will buy it for
seed Chat is why 10 ears is ask
ed for instead of 5 as in the
past and whatever 1t brings
can be placed in bank for prize
money next year,
So, now that you are in your
corn do not be afraid that John
Smith or Will Brown will have
better corn than you, but pluck
up nerve and energy and select
10 ears, that are alike in form,
E quality and as near length as
possible and bring them in any
time between October 18, 1902
and October &c, 1907 if possible
Entries must close October
, 80, 1907.

MORE POLICE
AS RESULT OF ATTACKS.
Two Little Girls in Bloomfield Were
Assaulted and Crowd Tried
to Find Man,

As the result of an attack last night on
Ethel and Kathleen O'Connell, daughters
of James OConnell, of Lake street, Bloom
field, following similar attempts of that
nature recently, many citizens of Bloom
field are loud in their demands for a
larger police force, and It is probable that
its Town Council will be petitioned to add
at least two men TO the regular force.
The little girls were attacked in a
lonely spot near their home. A rough
looking fellow caught one of the girls by
the arm and tried to drag her toward the
old Watsessing Lake property, but she
broke away from him and her screams
aroused the neighborhood.
A number of men ran from a hotel
nearby and searched for the fellow without
result. The father OF the girls. being noti-
fed in the meantime. Joined in the hunt
with a shotgun.
With Policeman Albert Drew, the girl
and her father. went to the home of a man
living In Bloomfield avenue. near Orange
street. The girl had said that she thought
that the mnn was her assailant. When
the suspect was awakened the girl had no
h%esitancy in saying that he was not the
man.
