tasks GOVERNOR TO STOP
FIGHT PICTURE EXHIBIT
Rev. Mr.. Briggs Appeals to
Maryland Executive Regard
ing Ruppert's Park Show.

In an appeal to Gov. Crothers of Mary
land today Rev. John L. Briggs. vice
president of the District Conference of
Baptist Ministers and pastor of the Fifth
Baptist Church. urges the Maryland
executive to at once suppress the exhibit
ton of the Jenries-Johnson prize fight
pictures each afternoon and evening at
Ruppert's Park, just across the District
line. near Bladensburg.
The clergyman takes the stand that the
exhibition does great harm to the general
community and he believes it should b..
suppressed. He concludes with the re-
quest that summary action be taken.
Rev Mr. Briggs led the fight for the
Baptists when ii was first proposed TO
show the pictures in the District of Co
lumba and was much gratif1ed when the
authorities here placed the ban on the
proposed exhibition.

CIRCUS PARADE.
Reveals the Character of Coll
mar Bros. Show.

The GolImar Brothers Show which
exhibits in Morris, Saturday, July 9th,
features everything connected with
it, from the street parade to the con-
cert. The press of other cities have
made only the most favorable COM
ment for GoIlmar Brothers parade.
Even when the show visits territory
where it has never been, its magnifi-
cent street pageant so agreeably
surprises the public that they are
sure to crowd the immense tents.
1t is in the parade that the manage
ment of a circus can show to good
advantage the stability and character
of the aggregation. If it is cheap
concern, giving only ordinary per-
formances, its parade will tell the
tale. If it is really meritorious the
street display will demonstrate the
fact. The splendid equipment of the
great Gollmar Brothers Circus is
shown to excellent advantage in the
big parade, and it is always compli-
mented. The horses are in fine trim,
and the tableaux, wagons, dens, cages,
and chariots are resplendently deco
rated with costly carvings, gilt and
varnish. An unusually large number
of dens are open in the parade, and
the general public is given free
exhibition of fine array of wild ami
mails. All in all, it is pronounced by
many, the finest and best circus dis
play ever seen upon any streets. But
it is in the circus performance that
the show excels.
The parade of the Gollmar Brothers
Show will start from lot at 10 o'clock
sharp, and traverse the principal
streets.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.
Do You Want A Handsome
Piano?

Young ladies, have you room in your
home for an instrument? Do you want
a handsome piano? You can get one
very easily in this contest. There
are many homes in this county where
young ladies long for pianos, yes ask
and some even beg their parents,
year after year, for an instrument.
Now that there is an opportunity to
win one for little work, will you
sit still and make no move to get it?
This question you alone can answer.
Not by mere words, but by actions.
Parents who have been asked for an
instrument will now see whether
their daughters are really in earnest
or not.
People are always ready to help
those who try to help themselves.
Get out among your neighbors and
show them that you are worthy of
such prize and have enough energy
and determination to win it and they
will help you. They will work for you,
talk for you and secure votes for you.
But you must start the work yourself
and keep att until the goal is reached
and the prize is won. If you wait
for your friends to start the work for
you, they will wait for you to start the
work for yourself, and it will be "wait-
ing' all around, nothing else.
Remember too, that the girl who
gets out and hustles for piano, tho
she fails to win it, is better known,
has more friends, and is regarded by
all as possessing more worth than the
girl who is afraid to put forth an eff
fort for what she wants even though
her father is able to buy several
pianos for her. Below is given the
standing of the contestants for this

The Morris School of Agricult
ure and Experiment
Station.

The Board of Regents of the uni
versity of Minnesota have directed
Dean Woods of the college of agri-
culture to make plans looking toward
the opening this fall of the Morris
School of Agriculture. The work
will begin October 3rd and continue
thru the six winter months. Young
men and women interested in farm
life and home making who have
completed the work of the rural
schools will be admitted to the courses.
The buildings are being repaired and
put in shape and competent teachers
have been selected. Instruction in
the following lines will be given:
soils, seeds and plants, cattle, sheep
and hogs, woodwork, iron work and
drawing, English, accounts and his
tory, sewing, cooking and laundering.
No charges except for board, wash
ing, books and few other necessary
things will be made. The boarding
hall will be run on the cooperative
plan SO as to make that expense as
low as possible. Undoubtedly there
will be a chance for number of
students to earn part of their way by
aiding in the care of the buildings,
waiting on table and such other work
as it may be possible for them to un-
dertake.
1t is the desire of the management
to get into communication with as
many prospective students as possible.
In order to do this, much aid will be
rendered if any one will send names
and addresses of young men and
women who they think might be
induced to enroll in October. Send
for bulleton. Address, Morris School
of Agriculture. Morris, Minnesota.

CORN FOR SlLAGE.

Censerves Much OF lee Food Value
When Stored in Silo.
There is no other way by which o
crop of corn can be handled that will
conserve so much of it's food value, as
by storing it in the silo. Where one
can afford the necessary buildings and
equipment, as much corn as can be
fed in that form to advantage should
be stored in this way. For silage, corn
is usually soWn in drills at the rate OF
about one-half bushel per acre. How.
ever, many of the farmers, who have
had leng experience in handling corn
in the silo, are reducing the amount
Of seed used per acre down to about
one peck, and often the corn is plant
ed in the same manner as for ears.
For silage, one should use the varie-
ties of corn that gives best results in
