the evening the Christian celebration
is brought to close by the spectacle
of Christmas tree on board ship In
fact, on each ship there are always TWO

OF far more dramatic interest was
heated controversy among the steam

doctor asserted that he believed he

Prize Winner
Had Gay Time
At the Capital

Ardmore, Okla, Dec 23-Floyd
Gayer, who won the Washington trip
offered by Senator Gore, has returned I
from Washington. Floyd raised the
best corn in Oklahoma and won his
free trip Senator Gore bought his
ticket, paid all his expenses and gave
him yt4y nice watch
Floyd is strip Of a boy, weighing
less than a hundred pounds. He won
nicely in the Oklahoma contest and
has been well paid for his work in
raising the best corn in Oklahoma. He
has many interesting things to tell Of
his trip. He went alone all the way.
At Philadelphia the conductor misread
his ticket and threw him off the right
road for few hours but he was soon
on the right road again Congressman
Carter, Senator Gore and others, he
says, were very nice to him. There
were eleven southern boys there at the
same time. Floyd says one OF the boys
from Georgia would not get on the boat
going to Mount Vernon for fear it
would sink and the boy from the Crack
er state went home early in the game.
When the boy from Tennessee arrived
at his home depot ready for depart
IRE, his father and the Tennessee chap
would not leave him. Floyd visited
both houses Of congress. went TO the
White House and shook hands with the
president. went through all the depart
ments Of the government and attended

Il am going to win the prize next
year, if ] possibly can, said the boy.
one significant fact about the corn
growing in Oklahoma is that the Ok
lahoma representative was the only
one that used no feltilizer. Some of
the states came lower in production
and used fertilizer. The cost per
bushel in some of the states was as
high as Acc, while in Oklahoma, the
cost was only SC.
The south has always bought mil
lions of bushels of corn from the
north, but the demonstrations made
in the past few years are sufficient
to prove that the south can raise al
the corn it needs.
