was pitchers battle between Paul

being made off Shaw and S off
Witmar. Shaw struck out Z men
and Witmar 10. Shaw's support
was ragged at critical times and to
this cause was due most of the

IrelanI'S Old Home Festival.

One of the greatest home going"
schemes on foot is that of the Irish
in America to the old country next
year. 1t is proposed to get up an
excursion of $4,000, and the proba-
bilities are that it will be a 90
though the crowd may fall short of
the figures named. With a proper
arrangement of transportation and
reasonable rates it would seem
quite likely that the Irish home
going would be a notable event. Of
course, all the pilgrims would re-
turn to America, and in many
cases would bring home folks with
them. 1t might not, therefore, be
such good thing for Ireland, in
that it would serve to still further
depopulate that country Char

Tentine On the Old Camp Ground.

We're tenting tonight on the old camp ground
Give us a song to cheer
Our weary hearts, song of home
And friends we love so dear
Chorus
Many are the hearts that are weary tonight
Waiting for the war to cease;
Many are the hearts waiting for the right
To see the dawn of peace.
Tenting tonight Tentng tonight,
Tenting on the old camp ground.
We've been tentng tonight on the old camp ground,
Thinking of the days gone by,
Of the loved ones at home who gave us the hand
And the tear that said "good-by"
We're tird of war on the old camp ground,
Many are dead and gone
Of the brave and true who've left their homes,
Others been wounded long

How Firm a Foundation

How firm foundation, we saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent world
What more can He say than to you He hath said
You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
Fear not, am with thee; oh. be not dismayedl
l, am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to
stand,
Upheld by My righteous omnipotent hand.
When through the deep waters call thee to 60
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow
For will be with thee thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
The soul that to Jesus hath fled for repose,
will not, will not desert to His foes;
That SOUL though all hell shall endeavor to SHAKE
I'll never no, never, no, never forsake

Some Familiar Songs
Blest Be the Tie That Binds.
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Fathers throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

From sorrow toll, and pain,
And sin we shall be free;
And perfect love and friendship reign

THE IOWA CORN SHOW
Prizes Increased From $4,000 tt
$4,000 This Year.

The Iowa Corn Growers associa-
ton, which will give the biggest corn
exposition, embracing all kinds of
farm products, fruits and flowers, in
the Coliseum at Des Moines. beginning
November 80 and continuing until
December IL, is the outgrowth of the
Ames short course at the Iowa State
Agricultural college. The exposition
this fall will be the seventh, and $780,
900 will be given away in prizes for
the best corn, grain and farm exhibits.
After six years of struggling, the
association is now on firm footing,
and is considered one of the biggest
state corn growers, associations in
this country. 1t had it's beginning
among a few progressive farmers who
realized the need of Improvement in
seed corn and small grain and pri-
marily it was organized for education
al purposes. Today it still stands for
educating the farmers in the neces-
sity of improving the quality OF seed
corn and seed grain.
At the first exposition all the prize
corn was sold to defray expenses.
The association grew very slowly the
first three years, until Uncle Asa Tur-
ner was elected president and Prof.
NJ. l.. Bowman, secretary. The show
during their administration in the fall
of 1907 was so successful that ID. l..
Pascal OF Dewitt, Ia, paid $3.50 to get
back his singel ear of corn that won
grand champion sweepstakes. The
ten ear winners were sold back for
$35. At this rate, bushel would
have been worth $4,000, or Is cents
a kernel.
