Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1908-12-10
THE BEST
Of the Corn Shows Was the Tenth
Annual, in Satisfaction.

Ten years ago the Monroe City
Democrat became interested the
great cereal, Corn, of this country
and asked some of its farmer
friends to bring it five ears of corn
to exhibit in the office so that
strangers could see that our corn
stories were not so tall as our corn.
Then the farmers friend, the
Democrat began to offer the small
premium, years subscription of
the paper, for the best five white
and five yellow ears brought to the
Office. The offer had a slight slim
ulating effect and the display of
fine corn grew, until we decided
that it was too large and good a
thing to be kept in any ones Office
and that it should be placed where
not only strangers but the world at
large could see the perfect gold
EN- and Silvery grain grown in Mis-
souri,.
The change was made, L. M.
Wood the druggist kindly giving
us two large display windows to
hold the farmers offering and it
was then thought best to increase
the premiums. So after consulting
some Of the corn producers and
finding James B. Gray enthusiastic
we went to work to raise a small
purse and succeeding. offered SIS
and $3.50 and one years subscrip-
ton Of the Democrat for the First,
Second and Third premiums on
both white and yellow corn.
The result of which was, thirty
six lots Of ten ears each. was
brought US and then placed upon
racks specially made to receive
them and the result was there had
never been such an Eye Opener
placed before the Corn Grower Of
this section of the country. The
farmers talked of it, the varieties,
the breeds and the soils as well as
cultivation Of the greatest grain
grown in the Mississippi valley and
from talk it went to action and
that meant better seed and that al
ways means better corn and more
of it.
Last Saturday the exciting and
funny part of the show was on. for
many of the exhibitors did not
know their own displays Gall were
numbered and bookeO and were
wondering where the three ribbons,
blue, red and white would be tied,
for it was then in the hands of the
judges, D. M. Proctor. I. E. Willard

thank the progressive farmers for
assisting it in showing the world
that it takes more than an unusual
ly wet season to knock King Corn
out in Marion, Rails and Monroe
Counties. Missouri and with the
Democrat the Farmers thank L.
M. Wood for the many courteSies
extended us. and also to ]. Gardner
Wade who so materially assisted in
getting the corn securely bound so
as to make the best possible ex-
hibit.
Once again Charles L. Elzea has
proven his interest in the corn
show and its future by declining to
receive the $500 wanting it to re-
main in the small fund for premi-
ums next year. And James B.
Gray is made of the same material
for he left his $3.50 to keep COM
pany with Mr.. Elzea's $500. Har-
ley Williams not to be out done in
the interest of corn leaves his $500
in the fund and Harvey Gray disar,
pointed no one when he left hi;

His Row with President Murphy Not
Healed, and He and His Wife
Leave for Los Angeles
for Winter

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Frank Chance
and his wife departed for their winter
home in California last night, leaving
the breach between the Cub leader and
President Murphy unhealed. So far as
can be ascertained no effort has been
made by either side to heal 1t. The
manager did not call at the club Of
fees yesterday to say goodby, and IL
he had done so he would not have
found President Murphy there, the lat
ter remaining at his home in Oak Park
on account of sickness.
Chance appeared to believe that an
effort would be made to trade him
during the winter to the Cincinnati
club and repeated his statement that he
would be glad to go there. In addition
he made it plain that the next move in
the matter would have to be made by
President Murphy.
II would go to the Cincinnati team
if they traded me-" said the Cub leader
just before boarding his train, but L
would not go TO any other club in the
league. ] would rather stay in Cali
fornia than do that. I am going to buy
an orange grove out there right away
anyway and won't have to come back.

ARRANGE TWO
GOOD PRfLIMS
BARON LONG COMPLETESCARD
Fob NOVEMBER 10
BOTH BOUTS ARE UNUSUALLY
ATTRACTIVE EVENTS
Manager of Jeffries Club and Other
sportsmen Going to Arcadia This
Afternoon to See Mustaln
Workout

Some big doings in the pugilistic line
are scheduled to come off at vernon
on the night of the tenth, for, with
the completion of his card yesterday
Baron Long is prepared to offer the
fans one of the best entertainments
presented to them in a long time.
The main event, between Al hauI-
mann and Terry Mustain, ought to be
enough for anybody's money, but, in
addition to the bout between the Dig
fellows, Long has scraped up two pre-
1iminaries which should go wen. Inc
first. a. six-round curtain raiser between
Hobo Bougherty and Young Hugo, was
arranged several days ago, and yester-
day Long got busy and filled the caro-
by signing up Jeff Perry and Young
Dempsey to tangle in ten-act SEMI
windup.
These are likely little scrappers and
as each is making his debut here there
is no doubt as to it being case OF
''IeveT' on all sides. Perry is the lad
who did so well in workouts with Sat
Nelson. while the Dane was training
for his last two fights with Joe Cans,
and who is looked on as conner by all
those familiar with his ring tactics.
Dempsey is Freddy Welsh's pet and mas
assimiliated a lot of the speedy English
champs superlative knowledge OIL the
finer points of the game.
Terry Mustain is becoming prime
favorite with the fight fans at Arcadia
and already the race track crowd is un-
betting the bank roll to string along
with his chances on the night of the
tenth. Kaufman undoubtedly VIII De
a hot favorite, mainly because the 10
cal sports must be shown before
they will gamble, and already has Al
convinced them of his ability. Mustain
is making his debut here and incl
dentally is making his first real DID
for the championship crown he coVets,
and until he uncovers his real ability
the majority of fans Will retuse 10 take
him seriously.
At that, Terry can be expected to put
I'D a rafting good effort against kaut-
mann. The Frisco lad will have all
the best of it in weight and expert
ence. but when 1t comes to gameness,
cleverness and ability to hit Mustain
will not be far out of the running. Ter
ry is a two-handed fighter who can
throw in his wallops from any position
and in his workouts with Lee Flanders
has proved that he is extremely clever
for big boy.
Baron Long is planning an excursion
TO the Mustain camp for this after
noon and the newcomer will put ON a
varied and lively program for the bene-
fit of the visitors. He will box with
Flanders and whoever else can be Sc
cured to go against him and the fans
will be given a chance to get line
on the only man in the business who
ever made Jack (Twin) Sullivan Jump
out of the ring without any readily
believable excuse for his conduct.
