where large corn is not produced,
does not mean that he does not have
an opportunity to compete, for the
state is divided into districts SO that
everyone has an opportunity to take
some of the premiums.
Farmers interested are urged to
send for a premium list. look 1t over
and then make their plans to attend
the school and send their best corn
to be exhibited at the show. They
should get the premium list at once
and look over the rules governing the
exhibits so they will not make ny

SECRETARY WILSON SAID

In q speech, recently that the best OPP
portunities in this country today
were in the south. and not long ago
said II he were twenty years younger
he would pack his grip and go to
Houston, Texas. Is such testimony
as this worth anything? Is the fact
that we can sell you land close to a
railroad and not far from a city of
100000 any attraction? Don't buy
where yuo may or may not
get a railroad, but go with
us and see the new south:
study the soil; see what is being
done, and place your money where
it will double sooner than anywhere
else you can place it.
Have a special bargain in a 40.
acre tract Il mile from small town.

BOTTLES WERE UNcoRkED
At the Baptist Church Monday Night
by Evangelist Thompson and
Were Discussed.

With a table full of bottles of all
sizes and styles before him, Mr..
Thompson gave his sermon on bot
ties, and with an imaginary bucket of
water over the table he made the at
tempt to fill the bottles which repre-
sent the hearers. Thus there is
among the people of the congregation
persons of different capacity and
ability to receive the message. AS
there + bottles with small necks
and wide necks, bottles that are cork
ed and those that are cracked, SO
the hearers nave small capacity to
receive and large capacity, they have
no capacity to hold any more than
the broken bottle, or they have cap
acity but they r corked against the
message. The tiny bottle is soon
filled so that sort of person is able
stand only a ten minute sermon. SO
the one with large capacity could en-
dure a sermon hours in length but
are corked against the word. Some
of the corks are %conceit, prejudice,
covetousness. frivolity and the habit
of making every sermon fit the other
fellow. The narrow neck bottle rep
resents such a person and as the
bottle. must be filed although a
funnel, so he must be taken out of
the congregation and the truth put
into him by personal work.

BODY TO MEDICAL COLLEGE
William Madden's Body Was shipped
to State University to be Hello
sixtyDays.

The body Of William Madden was
shipped to Vermillion Saturday
where it will be held awaiting the In
structions of relatives. Sheriff Plot
ner this forenoon received a message
from Miss Katie Madden Of Philadek
phia asking that the body be held.
According to the law passed by the
legislature last winter. the body Of
any unknown person shall be ship
ped to the medical school Of the state
university 48 hours after death ana
there held after being embalmed for
60 days. awaiting orders as to It's
disposition from any relatives who
may turn up. This is the reason that
the deceased was sent to vermillion
instead Of awaiting disposition here.

sister of the dead man and that she
will have the body shipped east for
burial.

afternoon, Ed Clark, one of the pris-
oueiS dl tue JAIL, WHO mas OeeQ MAD

months in the northern part of The

deceased had spoken at various times
of having relatives in Pennsylvania
and that a brother was killed In
railroad wreck there four months
ago. However, he did not remember
of having heard where they lived or
any further particulars. A search

MARTIN QUITS HIS PLACE
Will not Serve on Public Lands Com.
mittee, Saying Cannon did Not
Treat Him Fairly.

= 1
Washington, D. c., Dec. 7.-Spec.
ial: Representative Martin of South
Dakota. has rendered Speaker Can.
non his resignation as a member OF
the public lands committee. Mr.. Mar.
tin feels the speaker did not give
him proper consideration in the as.
Segment on the committee. When
Martin was in congress before he was
a member of the public lands com.
mittee, ranking next to Mondell, OF
Wyoming, whom the speaker recent.
ly made its chairman. On his return
to congress, succeeding Col. Parker
after having been out only one ses.
sion, Martin asked to be restored
to his place on the public lands com.
mittee. The speaker is said to have
intlmated this was possible to do in
view of the peculiar situation, Martin
not having been out an entire con.
gress. Accordingly, when Mondel
was made chairman of the commit.
tee Martin thought he would resume
his rank next to the Wyoming mem.
Der and thus be second on the com
mittee.
Speaker Cannon, however, sur.
prised Martin by putting him dowr
to eighth place, advancing ahead oil
him such men as Parsons, of New
York city, who is said not to know
any more about public lands than
Martin does about the Bowery. Mar.
tin had informed Cannon he desired
his old place on the committee next
to Mondell or did not want it at all.
He also expressed a hope for a place
on the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, owing to his act
tivity in such legislation, but the
speaker evidently gave this sugges-
tion no more consideration than he
did Martins request for the ranking
place on the public lands committee.
Just why Speaker Cannon chose to
ignore MI. Martins desires for COM
mittee assignments is not known,
but friends of the South Dakota con-
gresham believe the South Dakota
congressman believe they see some
connection between the speakers ac-
ton and the fact that Martin made
a severe criticism of the cotton tariff
schedules at the last session.
Martin sought to get the president
to demand a reduction of the cotton
rates, and his activity in this regard
is said to have aroused the ire of the
Cannon-Aldrich leaders in congress-.
Soon after. at any rate, the speak
er announced his committee appoint
ments. which were somewhat disap-
pointing to Mr.. Martin, and caused
his resignation from the public lands
committee. Mr.. Martin has been
counted on as one of the strong stall
warts in the house. and there is
much interest in his future attitude
toward Cannon.
