Thousand Dollar
Cup Will Be Given
for an Ear of Corn
Gold and Silver Trophy Offered by
the Kellogg Company for
National Exposition.

gold and silver cup worth 1900 will be
given to the exhibitor OF the best single
ear Of corn a. the National Corn exposi-
ton. The trophy has been announced by
the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake company.
The Kellogg company became interested
in the National Corn exposition only
short time ago, but its zeal to help the
corn show may be judged not only by the
gift of the q 900 trophy, but by the fact
that II has made contracts to advertise
the cup and the corn exposition in 22s daily
newspapers and 800 weeklies in the states
of Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Kansas. These advertisements
will run until the late fall and will call
the attention Of the corn show to prac-
tlcally every farmer and newspaper reader
in the middle west
The Kellogg company is also planning to
use a good deal of magazine advertising
Of the contest, which will Of course give
national publicity.
The Kellogg company uses 1900 bushels
Of corn day in its factory for the making
OF corn flakes and is immensely interested
in the question of a big corn crop. Stan
ley Clague president Of the Clague-
Painter-Jones Advertising agency of Chi
cago. who is interested in the advertising
end Of the Kellogg company and in Omaha
to arrange for details OF the cup contest
declared that this years corn crop, barring
some national calamity is assured. Last
years crop was 1885, 100000 bushels" said
he, "and this summer 1t may go to 5000,
100000. The corn exposition ought to take
for its slogan three billion in the field and
two billion in the pocket for three-billion
crop actually means $1,000, OOO."
Corn show officials are exceedingly re-
joiced at the trophy offer, which is large
enough to make the competition attractive
to every corn grower Competition is open
to members OF the National Corn associa-
ton.
The cup will be three feet high and will
be made either by Tiffany or the Gorham
company.

Brown Lines Up
Support in House
Senator Working for Passage of His
Constitutional Amendment
Proposition.
CFrom a Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, July s.--(Special Tele-
gram )-Senator Brown is not permitting
any grass to grow under the feet OF his
constitutional amendment to vest in con-
gress absolute authority to place tax
on incomes. Today he had numerous con-
ferences with house leaders from Speaker
Cannon down, and found that his amend
ment would encounter little or no opposi-
ton in the house of representatives. He
has practically secured a promise that
his income tax amendment will be taken
up by the house next Monday under sus-
pension Of rules, and has small doubt 1t
will carry by at least comfortable majority.
Who is to have the naming of two super
visors OF the census is now question
agitating the South Dakota delegation in
congress. WIN Gamble and Crawford name
them, or will the recommendations Of Rep
resentatives Martin and Burke have
greater weight with President Taft? is
the question. During the closing years Of
fromer Senator Kittredge's term he and
Senator Gamble became involved in a poe
Iitical feud and the federal patronage in
South Dakota. which falls to the lot of
United States senators, was held UP by
one or the other. and matters were In an
almost hopeless tangle. Prior to this row
among themselves TSittredge, Gamble,
Burke and Martin worked harmoniously in
all matters. But the split resulted in the
retirement from the senate of Kittredge
and the temporary eclipse OF Burke and
Martin from the house roll. Martin and
Burke are back. but they do not now
work in harmony with Gamble and Craw-
ford. The senators contend they should
name the census supervisors and the rep
resentatives assert that these plums should
be theirs.
