article In to-day's issue Of La Foslstts's

atOr La Toilette has often attacked fellow
SENATOR, but this Il the first time that he
has ever ventured to attack the President,
and his thrusts are unmistakable. al

posed to credit him with high motives
and unwilling to criticise any public act

prevailed for Mr.. Taft and no one would
be more reluctant to believe otherwise.

LIBERAL PRIZES
AT CORN SHOW
Premium List Aggregates TWen-
" Thousand Dollars.

A glance at the attractive list of
prizes which are being offered for the
best corn in Iowa is enough to make
anyone long to be corn grower. The
prize list aggregates $4,000. This is
considerably the largest list of prizes
that has ever been offered by the Iowa
corn show. This increase has been
largely due to the Des Moines Com.
mercial club, which, in consideration
of the change in the location of tire
show from Ames to Des Moines, have
been giving it their strongest support.
The grand sweepstakes prize, which
Will go to the fortunate exhibitor OF
the best ten ears of corn. is a $3.50
kimball piano. The sweepstakes
prize in the single ear class will be a
$40 Hayes corn planter. This prize
has been made smaller than usual, as
compared with the ten ear prize. This
is because there has been a growing
sentiment among the corn growers
that finding sweepstakes single ear
is largely matter OF. luck Ten ears
! OF uniform type, on the other hand,
can only be obtained by consistent
breeding.
A number of very liberal prizes have
| been offered in the bushel classes.
The sweepstakes prizes for the north
en- and southern sections are a 500
wagon each. The winner in the north
central section will get top buggy,
