Class in the State.

Prof. Il. b. Cousins, state super.
intendent of public instruction,
and a member of the locating
board, said the West Texas Nor

largest by far of any Of the three
state normals now in operation.
Under the act of the Thirty first
Legislature creating this new ed
ucational institution it is pro
vided that it shall be completed
by October |, 1910, consequently
there is just one year in which
this is to be done. Even by rush
ing the Wook, some doubt is eX-
pressed as to whether the nor
NAL can be finished and ready
for opening by the timespecitied.
The locating board will leave
within the next few days for
Canyon City, where it will select
the site on which the new insti-
tuition is to be located, there be
ing seven sites. After this has
been done, then the whole mat
ter will be turned over to the
state board of education, chat

buildings, etc, and making pro-
vision for the employment of a
superintendent and also the fac
ulty.
While this new institution will
havo S150,000 to start with, the
value of any one of the other three
institutions does not aggregate

pected that the new normal will

in this vicinity is being exhibited and
The number of different kinds of corn
Is very large. The exhibit is one of
the largest ever shown in this vicin-
ity, there being specimens exhibited
from each township of the county
with. the exception of three and it is
probable that these districts will
come in with an exhibit before the
close of the show. salt Rock, Tully
and Waldo townships have no ex-
hibits. Some of the best corn comes
from Richland township. Each of
the exhibits is of unusual interest to
the grower and the whole collection
makes show of no small import
ance. c. A. Patton, of the Ohio Ex-
perimental Station at Wooster, ar
rived here this morning and spent
the forenoon judging the corn. In
general, Mr.. Patton thought the eX-
hibit magnificent and worthy of be-
ing seen by the farmers and grow
ers.
The collection of separate exhibits
should be of interest to others than
those directly interested in corn
growing. As one enters the show
he comes upon the display of corn
pone and hominy for the best OF
which there have been handsome
prizes offered.
The pop corn to be found I'm al
most all of the exhibits is of the best
and the sweet corn shows some in
teresting specimens. There is the
large yellow shelled corn, the large
ears of white corn the golden and
red corn in every variety. Aside from
the corn, there are a number pump
kins of enormous size. The indus
trial exhibit of the local merchants
adds much to the show. e. b. Main
has a splendid arrangement of car
iages and j. l.. Price also has fine
exhibit of his materials. The
Houghton- -Merkle company also has
an exhibit of buggies and there are
also a number of farm implements
and collection of specimens of ce-
ment work.
A display of a number of the
premiums to be offered also makes
an interesting feature of the show.
