Servian King Wants an American Heiress

Now it turns out that King Peter
commissioned him to come to this
country and report what opportunity
his two som might have toward max

Servia does not maintain a diplo-

A report that the Servian princes
want to marry American girls reached
Washington last spring. Gar Mich
oias. Emperor Francis Joseph and
King George of Greece tried to plan
an alliance for the sons Of King Peter,
but non of these would consider an
alliance with any princes to whom
they were individually related.
This is why the prince will seek to
marry merely money.

The Mitchell Corn Show

Mitchell-Now that South Dakota
is becoming a corn state, having pro-
duced about $4,000, 600 bushels of
corn the past season, interest is being
taken in the fourth annual state corn
show, which will be held at Mitchell
commencing Jan. II and continuing
until the 22nd inst.
1t is expected Governor Eberhart OF
Minnesota will make a address. 9TH
ers who have been invited are Profess
sor Crossley of the Iowa Agricultural
college at Ames and Professor Holder
the famous Iowa corn expert.
The, seed corn situation in South
Dakota is somewhat critical because
of the hard frost coming so early IN
the season. On this account it is
pointed out that the corn school
should be attended by every corn
grower in the state, and, in fact, by
every one who is interested in seed
corn.
The school will be in charge of
Professor Willis OF the South Dakota
Agricultural college, He will be as
sisted by corn experts from within
the state and from other states of the
west and northwest.
BY dividing the state into these dis
tracts every one who raises fine corn
stand an equal nance with other
competitors to capture some of the
premiums.

made a speech in which he said that
we of the west would probably be sur
prised to know that the state of New
York had set aside 1000, 900 acres of
land for a forest reserve. 1t fell to
me to reply to the speech of the gov

governor that if the forest reserves of

side by side in one contingent body of

York could not only be put down in
the middle OF it, but a man could walk
around the boundaries of the forest
reserve and still be unable to see the
