NORTH DAkOTANSAND
NtBRASKANS PICNIC
THREE THOUSAND MIDDLE
WESTERNERS MEET
Orators Discuss Bad Weather Back
Home and How Good 1t Is to
Be in Southern
California

Fifteen hundred yellow Nebraska
bons floated in Eastlake park yester-
! day on the coats and waists of the
! California representatives of the two
states, who had gathered at their an
nual basket picnics. Neither Of the
two state associations had known that
the other was planning to meet at the
park, but when they arrived on the
grounds they Immediately joined forces
and planned their programs in such a
way as to make one great picnic of
the day.
In the morning the Nebraska people
had charge of the festivities. Ne
| braskans and North Dakotans mixed
and listened to the Nebraska orators
talk of the good times and the bad
weather back home and the good times
and the fine weather in Southern Cali
| fornia. w. H. H. Morris, president of
the Nebraska society, presided. Among
the speakers were j. j. Copper and A.
b. Taylor. At the conclusion Of the
program NJ NJ. Davidson, secretary,
led the Nebraskans to one side and
showed them how to register
After the picnic dinner the North
Dakota faction stormed the platform
and told the Nebraska people how glad
they were to be with them-away from
the snow that they might be fighting
if they were both at home. Then, of
course, they told about the things they
raise in the middle west, especially in
/ North Dakota, and finished always
with glowing tributes to the California
climate. Among those who talked
were Edward Winterer, president Of
the society; DR.. S. p. Johnston, Rugby;
Dr. w. A. Bently. Bismarck; Rev.
George A. Henry and Maj E. r. Ken
nedy. Miss Nellie Pearl Mitchell played

The doctor is fully able and pre-

TEACH THE CHILDREN
TO SAVE MONEY

1t IS often and truthfulIy said that a
penny saved is a penny made. The
foundation of many of the greatest for
tunes was begun by saving a penny.
The habit of saving is one of the best
that can be formed. Every child should
be taught to save something each week.
The satisfaction of counting these pen
uies when the bank is emptied is one
OF the pleasures that we never forget:
perhaps every one of us can remember
the thrill of JOY we had when we emp
tied the contents of the bank on the
table and counted and recounted this
mountain of wealth; how eager we
were to tell our little friends the
amount of our great fortune, and raced
with them in refilling the bank.
To bring this pleasure within the
reach of every child and help the form
ing OF the penny-saving habit, Messrs.
Scott & Bovine, 400 Pearl Street, New
York, the manufacturers of Scott's
Emulsion, are offering to send to any
address, for 10 cents, beautiful little

NEWSPAPERS WILL KEEP OUT COLD

Half a dozen blankets are not neces-
sary to keep warm, nor are thickly
piled quilts essential to keep out these
chilly January blasts. The great Ameri-
can newspaper will do almost as well.
At least, such is the view of a promi-
nent Health Worker in a statement
given out recently.
1T is, of course, highly desirable, -
he stated, "to have ample covering OF
blankets and quilts on cold nights; but
where these cannot be had few simple
makeshifts will greatly reduced the
amount OF suffering. If newspapers are
spread between blankets, they will keer
the sleeper as warm as several add
tional blankets, If heavy newspapers,
or folds OF wrapping paper, are placed
under the mattress. next the springs
they will prevent the chill from below
and greatly Increase the comfort of the
bed. This is especially important since
many persons, sleeping on single mat
tresses. overlook the fact that as mucl
cold air comes through the mattress a
through the covering.
In the same way, persons riding TO
long distances in the country will fin
paper a great protection against cold
If newspaper is folded under the Goa
aerosssthe chest and another across tn
back, they will effectually protect a ne,
son from cold.

LOVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY" "

When the forlorn sunsets fare anc
fade
On desolate sea and lonely sand,
Out of the silence and the shade
What is the voice of strange com
mand
Calling you as friend calls friend
With love that cannot brook away,
To rise and follow the ways that wend
Over the hills and far awayl
Hark in the city, street on street
"A roaring reach of death and life,
Of vortices that clasp and fleet
And ruin in appointed strife,
Hark to the calling, calling clear,
Calling until you cannot stay
From dearer things than your own
most dear
Over the hills and far away.
Out of the sound of ebb and flow.
Out of the sight OF lamp and star,
1t calls you where the good winds
blow,
And the unchanging meadows are;
From faded hopes and hopes agleam,
1t calls you where the good winds
blow,
Beyond the dark into the dream
Over the hills and far away.

BIGGEST EAR OF CORN.
Prize Awarded for the Worlds Best
Corn.

Fred c. Palm, of Newton, Ind. ba,
the best single ear of corn in the world
while another Indianan, ]. r. Over
street, of Franklin, has the best ter
ears of corn the world has ever seen.
according to the judges at the National
Corn Exposition in session at Omaha,
Neb., who have awarded the $50. 600 in
prizes offered by the show, and have
given first place in both sweepstakes to
Indiana farmers.
This is the third successive year that
the first prize for ten ears of corn has
gone to Indiana.
i spent seven years producing that
ear OF corn, said Mr.. Palm, who had
produced the worlds best ear.
My parent stock consisted of Reeds
yellow Dent seed, as the male plant
and the mother plant was from Alex-
ander Gold Standard variety. The corn
was planted two rows of Yellow Dent
and then two rows of Gold Standard.
The two rows of Standard were de-
tasseled the first two years. This pro-
duced the seed from which the worlds
best ear of corn has been produced.
my system of farming is to rotate
wheat, oats and corn, and used some
commercial fertilizer. Farming 2sC
acres of land, the yield in the field from
which this corn was selected. was about
ninety bushels to the acre.
The ear came from among those Sc
lected by my men for seed, and as soon as
we examined it carefully, we decided |,
was prize winner. The credit il duf
to my wife or hired men for selecting
the ear. l don't take any credit for it.
According to l.. B. Clore. superinten.
dent of judges, the Palm ear is not only
the best ear of corn this year, but it is
finer specimen than the famous Pascal
ear, which sold for $3.50 two years ago.
1T is the best ear the world has ever
produced, says Professor G. /. Christie,
of Purdue University. who was one OF
the judges. ''It is all corn-very little
cob. The kernels are three-quarters
of an inch deep, and in perfect rows.
There is no way of telling its worth,
no way of estimating the influence the
seed from the ear will have on the corn
OF our State, and it is to be hoped
some Indiana man will buy it."
At the close of the exposition, De-
cember Is, the Palm ear will be sold to
the highest bidder. Judging by the
prices paid for other famous ears of
corn, it is expected the ear will sell
for more than $500.
