 Mayor Mahan of New London, has enforced a, rule in his city whereby the public service corporations are forced to lay their mains and laterals to the curb line before the city will spend one cent for macadam on the streets. The result has been that the pipes have been put in awaiting the build ing of houses on the street
 The Mayor who has the contract for the building of the Barnum avenue line, was surprised when he heard that a city the size of Bridgeport does not insist upon the pipes going under ground before macadam is laid

If he lives up to his reputation

Now the maker Of the automobile
has pursued the typical American
policy in placing his product upon
the market through the independent
retailer. but he has not financed his
distributing agencies. AS matter
of fact, from the beginning, the dis
tributing agencies have financed
him. With their contracts for cars
the agents have been compelled to
surrender a considerable bonus to
the manufacturer and to pay in
ready money the remainder due
when the cars are delivered. The
automobile maker has been getting
the cash and with this cash he has
built up his marvellous business in

reasonably sure of growing the fol
lowing year. should be selected early
enough in the fall, so that it may be-
come quite thoroughly dried before
cold weather comes. In Minnesota,
seed corn should be picked and
husked before October LIST. One is
usually busy in September, and dis
likes to spend the time to select seed
corn, but it is often possible to Sc
lect enough seed corn in one day in
September to increase the value of
the crop the following year from
$25 to $50 over what the farmer
would receive if he neglected to save
his feed corn in good condition, and
consequently was obliged to use
rather weak seed.
One cannot afford not to select
his seed corn early. A good way to
do this is to go through the field
with a sack over ones back and Sc
lect desirable ears Of corn, from de-
sirable stalks, and of the right type
and size. 1t is very safe policy to
select great deal more seed corn
than one anticipates he will need. as
he is then able to make a more care
full selection of these ears for plant
ing, before the following spring.
When selecting seed corn, one
should have an ideal we'll in mind.
1t is good plan to have an ear Of
corn that one keeps from year to
year as a standard of the type he is
after. Looking at this standard ear.
and comparing it with the ear of
corn in question, often enables one
to decide whether or not he shall
keep certain ear of corn for seed.
Since a bushel will plant seven
acres, which may yield $4,000 to
$500. 90 worth of product. according
to the crop secured, it seems wise to
put a great deal of stress and
thought into the selection of that
bushel of corn.

THE PAGEANT OF NATIONS
Mammoth Spectacular Production to Be
Presented at the State Fair
Each Evening.

4 Many large and expensive attrac-
tions have been presented at the
Minnesota State Fair. but ithas beer
left to the fair of 1910 to offer a
Spectacular production so unique in
character and so tremendous in pro-
portion as to astound those unfamiliar
with catering to the likes Of State
Fair patrons.
In 1893 Mr.. C. R. Smith of st.
Paul, then vice president of the
State Fair, conceived the idea of
keeping the fair open nights and
putting on night performances in
front Of the grand stand. He fin
ally succeeded in inducing the board
of managers to try it. Arrange
ments were made with a Minneapo-
lis producer and an evening specta-
cular production known as 1.-THE
Burning of Manila was presented.
The success of the venture was COM
plete from the start, and since that
time each year something new and
more up-to-date has been shown be-
fore the grandstand.
In 1908 the State Fair managers
concluded they had practically ex-
hausted the supply of outdoor at
fractions and determined to build
and produce a historic spectacle
under their own direction. Expert
scenic artists, stage mechanics, prop
erty men, electricians and stage di-
rectors were engaged, and the at
tack by the Sioux Indians on old
Fort Ridgley in 1852 was taken
as a basis to work upon. The
scheme was a huge success.
Last year different subject was
selected at an enorm Gus expense
Minnesota at Gettysburg was Of
fered. All grandstand attendance
records were broken, the evening
receipts reaching the handsome sum
Of $33, 900.
Encouraged by past success, and
believing that each year should excel
its predecessors, something entirely
different from anything ever before
exhibited was sought for 1910.
After three months of experiment.
ing, building models, searching libra
ries and corresponding with amuse-
ment concerns. both in this country
and in Europe, a suggestion was
made that something representative
Of several of our large nations be
produced, and as a result the board
of managers announce for this
years evening grandstand program
the most gorgeous open-air spectacle
ever conceived, to be known as ''The
Pageant of Nations. = Prominent
buildings of seven different nations
will be reproduced and set in the In
field directly opposite the grand
stand. In the center will be repre-
sentation built out of canvas and
painted with oil by an expert artist
of the United States Government
Building at the Paris Exposition.
To the right and left will be build
ings of Sweden, Germany. France.
China. Japan and Italy. All these
will be built from photographs taken
by Burton Holmes, the famous ira
veler. and will be as nearly correct
as conditions requiring the scenery
to be lowered in the daytime will
permit. Several of the buildings
will be outlined by electricity. All
will be rediantly Illuminated. Some
600 men, women and children, rep
resenting the different nationalities,
will present dances and songs SYM
bolic of the various countries.
