When the editor of a country newspaper
gives column after column OF his space to
an institution like the National Corn eX-
position. It is assumed that that exposition
is arouslng considerable enthusiasm.
Scores of country editors in scores of
states have done this. but 1t has remained
for the editor of the Custer County Chief
to print several thousand circulars at his
own expense and to mail them out In his
territory. The same man has also for
warded his mailing lists to the general Of
fices of the corn exposition and urged that
additional matter be sent the men cata-
logued.
Facts like these prove beyond ques-
tlon that enthusiasm for the corn exposi-
ton has grown until 1t amounts to a veri-
table crusade existing not only in the mid
die western states, but all through the
Union.
Idaho, to quote only one instance, sends
word that it's special car will contain $50
separate entries of grains and grasses, the
car having already left Caldwell other
shipments are now piling In so rapidly that
1t became necessary Monday to open offices
In the Auditorium and the entire adminis-
trative department will be moved there
Saturday. although the offices in the Bee
building will. of course, be still kept open.
The importing OF shipments has also re-
suited in the increase of the clerical staff
of the exposition and forty clerks are now
at work receiving entries and attending to
other clerical details, OF which there are
a million or so.

The domestic science department of the
Corn exposition rejoices in the news that
DIR. II. II. Waite. professor of bacteriology

high power microscopes from the uni
versity laboratories. with suitable slides

have never seen a bacillus what a microbe
