THAT OFFICIAL COUNT WILL

New York-Control of the next
House of Representatives hinges upon
the result of the fall elections in thir-
likely to be so close in these that the
official count will be needed to decide.
This prediction is made by an eastern
magazine as result Of it's confiden-
tial canvass of $4,000 of its life SUBJ
scribers scattered IN every SECTION of
the United States.
Two years ago this magazine in the
same way predicted the election of
President Taft, its poll of the states
agreeing absolutely with the official
result, excepting in Missouri which it
gave to Bryan.
The present poll was compiled from
the replies of $4,000 that answered
and presents what the publishers be
lleve TO be fairly accurate portrayal
of the sentiment in the country at
large.
Division Close.
The result of the poll indicates that
16O congressional districts are safely
Republican; 1853 safely Democratic;
20 probably Republican; 81 probably
Democratic.
This being true. the two parties
would be tied with 1S9 each and on
the remaining thirteen districts would
hinge control of the House.
Colorado is given three Democratic
congressman and Wyoming goes into
the Republican column.

SECOND
CONTEST
Corn Growers Association Will
Be Held at Infrmary
Farm Monday.

Members of the Mercer County Corn
Growers Association are called to meet
at the county infirmary farm next
Monday, when the second corn contest
will take place. Prof. w. A. Lloyd, Of
the State Experiment Station at Woos-
ter, will be present TO superintend the
test. Nearly thirty varieties of corn
were planted on the plot of ground set
apart for the test, and as there is much
speculation on the result of the con-
test, great numbers of farmers who
have never evinced any decided inter-
est heretofore are making plans to at
tend this one. At this contest Mon
day the corn will be husked, weighed
and its merits pointed out and the
WELD per acre obtained. Prof Lloyd
is regarded as an expert in his field,
aud if any evidence were needed to
ptove his high standing, it would only
be necessary to point out the fact that
he will have charge of the great corn
show at Columbus, January 80 to Feb
ruary IL, which meets there in connec-
tion with the National Corn Exposi-
ton. Make arrangements to attend
the contest at the infirmary farm next
Monday.
