What Crop Exhib-
its Accomplish
By T. W. Hubbard

Seward county was awarded 3rd
premium on Agricultural exhibits
at the Kansas State Fair, held at
Hutchinson last week. The creden-
tials are properly signed, sealed,
certified and delivered, and there
is no dispute as to Seward county
being justly entitled to ali she re-
ceived. There is more than pass
ing significance attached to the
fact that Seward county ranks
third in the counties of Kansas in
the matter of Agricultural accom-
plishments as revealed by the high
class exhibits at the fair. The
public in general was amazed at
the merits of the exhibits and
those counties that heretofore
boasted of superiority in the field
of agriculture were more than
surprised that they had a danger
GUS competitor in the county of
Seward, whose light until now has
been hid under a bushel. They
had been guessing that farming
in southwest Kansas was a failure,
but When the judges were consid-
ering whether or not Seward coun-
ty was entitled to the highest
award, their skepticism was trans
formed and hence forth they will
look to their laurels, lest they be
wrested from them by their
younger sisters out west. With
the award of third place confront
ing them, and the most excellent
crops in evidence to back it up,
there is nothing for them to do
but take to the tall timber and die
while they are converted, as Sew
ard county has crossed the thresh
hold of agricultural excellence
and must be recognized as a factor
in the makeup of the greatest agri-
cultural state in the world. 1t
further signifies that the idea,
that Seward county, being in the
so called semi-arid region, Is not
a first class agricultural section, is
without foundation. The delusion
is smothered with the preponder-
ance of evidence to the contrary.

In short, we were not the only

to Detroit 1 was just a little skept-
ical of the ability of any company
to build $4,000 automobiles in
twelve months. l had expressed
that skepticism in a letter to Nlr.

he provided special train of such
sumptuous appointments and are

just and truthful to say thai
Champ Clark is the most univer
versally popular speaker that has
occupied the second station in the
government within the quarter
century. Although from the be.
ginning the speaker has subordin.
ated himself and his personality to
the welfare of tue party, his SER
vices have been of the highest val
ue to the government. His long
experience and admirable temper
and equipment have made him in
valuable in counsel, and only the
records of the cancus can disclose
how vital Champ Clark has been
to every democratic policy. The
democratic speaker energies into
the campaign with remarkable
force and aggressiveness, in as
serting the Congressional Record
of the house, and with tremendous
vigor in defending it against the
attacks of the republican president
and republican partisans. The
man who figures the democratic
possibilities of 1912 without as
signing large and compelling
place to Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri,, does not know either the
speaker or the people.

THE BANQUET

AElC DANNOEl
At the Hutchinson State Fair, 8
banquet to the Governors of the
states, who we're there, was giver
at the Bisonte. which is under the
management of the Harvey peo.
pie, who have all of the hotels on
the Santa Fe system. This is the
first big opportunity the Grier
people have had to show the pos
sibilities of their new Hotel Cim-
marron here, and the entire Grier
system has become interested in
making this the best affair of its
kind held in the state. 1t is their
idea to eclipse that given by the
Harvey people at Hutchinson, and
no money or trouble will be spared
to make this a glowing success.
The head chef of the Grier sys-
tenn will be sent here from Kansas
City the last of this week, and he
will at once begin preparations for
the banquet. A force of dining
room girls will also be sent here
several days before the banquet,
and will be trained for several
days on the service of the big
function. The menu is seasonable
and sufficiently foreign to satisfy
the curiosity of most of US. The
menu follows:
Little Neck Clam Cocktail
Celery Hearts Queen Olives salted Almonds
Consomme Royal Brook Trout, Menulere
Parlsienne Potatoes Cucumbers in gelee
Larded Tenderloin of Beef Bearnaise Sauce
Tomatoes stuffed with corn
Clmarron Punch
Squab Chicken Farcie, Trufle Sauce
French Peas Grilled Potatoes
Lettuce and Artichoke Salad
Golden Flake Crackers
Frozen Nesselrode Pudding Assorted Cakes
Roquefort Cheese Demi Tasse
Hon. H. V. Tucker of this city, |
has been chosen to preside as
toastmaster. The speakers of the /
evening include Champ Clark,
Hon. George Neeley of Hutchin-
son, Hon, Henry Block of Syra-
cuse, and Hon. William H.
Thompson. One of the souvenirs
of the occasion will be an elabor-
ate menu with the names of the
speakers of the evening, etc.
ABOUT CHAMP CLARK
Champ Clark, the representative
from Missouri, who holds the
second place in the nation, is one
of the most capable men who has
been in the House of Representa-
tiyes in many years. The superb
record of the democratic majority
in the house; the unbroken unity
which it has maintained; the leg
islation which it las passed are due
as much to Champ Clark as an liv-
ing member of the Democratic
party. This essential fact can
have no better attestation than in
the frequent and overwhelming
tributes of confidence and affec-
tion which the democratic house
mas given him, and which has
oeen supplemented, remarkable to
relate, by tributes of confidence
and affection no less hearty and
unanimous from the republican
minority. Champ Clark is essen.
Tally man. There is something
n his rugged personality, with its {
nasterful sincerity which under ]
