FARE TO C0NEY ISLAND
New Rate for Going in Early
Morning ard Returning in
Early Afternoon.
CONCESSION IS VOLUNTARY
President of Company Tells Pub
lie Service Commission Re-
duction Is Only for Rest
of This Season.

Colonel Timothy &. Williams Informed
Chairman Wilcox OF the Public Service
Commission yesterday that his company
would voluntarily try the experiment Of
giving a fve-cent fare 10 and from
Coney Island over its elevated lines dur
ing certain hours Of the day. The ex-
pertinent is 10 be tried for two months
Colonel Williams took pains 70 declare
that his company believed a 1O-cent fare
was reasonable. and that the concession
was made simply as a charity 10 those
who would be unable 10 get 10 the sea-
shore under a l0-cent fare arrangement.
lie could not promise that the company
would voluntarily make the concession
another summer
II is understood that the Coney Island
& Brooklyn Railroad is considering
making a similar concession.
The plan Of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company is 20 sell special round trip
tickets fQg 10 cents at all Of its ele-
waited stations except Sundays, satur-
DAYS and legal holidays, good going 10
Coney Island between & and Q a. m. and
returning between and 430 p m.
Commissioner J. Sergeant Cram re-
Gently suggested that the Public Service
Commission reopen the old question as
20 whether the companies should not be
compelled 70 give a fve-cent fare 10
Coney Island. At his suggestion the
commission ordered a hearing on the
reasOnableness OF the company's giving
five-cent fare. going between 8 and .
a. m. and returning between and !
p. m. There was no suggestion OF a
round trip ticket. An adjourned hear
ing on this question was set down for
tomorrow at noon. In view Of the VOL
untary reduction Of fare by the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company II was said
at the offices Of the commission yester-
day that the hearing would probably be
adjourned until October 10.
The company proposes 10 put the ar
rangement into effect as soon as the
special tickets can be printed, and 70
run il through 10 October I.
After comforting with Chairman Will
cox for some time yesterday afternoon
President Williams handed him the fol-
lowing formal letter on the subject:

Wins Worlds Corn Championship
Roy Clore, Nineteen-Year-Old In
diana Youth, Takes Trophy Be-
cause He Used His Head as
Well as His Hands to Grow Fine
Maize.

A nineteen-year-old Indiana boy
was the hero of the national corn
show this year. This boys went
to Columbus, o., with ten big ears
of Johnson county white dent corn
and he goes back to Indiana with
the honor of having won the ma
tional grand sweepstakes and the
Indiana corn growers association
trophy, the blue ribbon of the
maize craving world.
This boy, Roy d. Clore, comes
from the worlds greatest corn
growing section, that is to say teh
section where the choicest corn
is grown, south central Indiana.
He lives on a farm near Franklin
Also he comes of a corn-growing
family. His father, L. B. Clore,
now of the Indiana state legisla-
ture, won the grand national
sweepstakes in Chicago in 1907
and in Omaha in 1908. Under the
rules of the corn game the elder
Clore couldn't enter the grand
prize at Omaha last year, but dur
ing this past season the boy, Roy,
took charge of the corn growing
on the Clore place and again lift
ed the cup for the honor of In
diana and of the Clore family.
Roy Clore is a sturdy youngster,
a typical example of the farm
youth of the new regime. There
is nothing of the unsophisticated
about him, nothing of the tradi-
tional air of the clodhopper, yet he
is true son of the soil and proud
of it. He says he proposes toI
stick to the farm. The lure of the
city has no especial charm for the
boy who won the 1910 national
grand sweepstakes.
Matter of Brains.
The winning of the big prize at
the national corn show isn't al
matter of luck, or of hard work.
It's a matter of brains. Mere care-l
full planting and cultivation won
turn the trick. Years of careful
breeding and rigid selection are,
