Corn Shows.

Corn Shows.
The corn show held by the Shepherds
town Graded School this week was de-
cided success, nearly all of the country
pupils bringing in an exhibit. We have
never seen finer lot of corn than that
shown at the school. Thirty-three lots
of ten ears each were exhibited. The
corn was judged on Tuesday by Messrs.
H. L. Lyme, E. E. Billmyer and Geo. r.
Turner, and they awarded the prizes as
follows: First prize, $3.50, to Amelia
Demory, daughter of MIR. and Mrs. Walter
Qemory; second prize, $3.50, Bernard
Whiting, son of Mr.. and Mrs. g. h. Whit
ing; third prize, s1.O0, John Unger, son
of ]. c. Unger. Besides the corn exhibit
some fine apples were shown, also some
fruit curiosities.
Shepherd College had corn show the
past week. There were some very fine
spe linens of corn in the ear that had
been brought in by the students, and a
good deal of interest was manifested in
the exhibit. Grove Banks won the first
prize of $500. Franklin Chaplain second
prize of 81 so, Emily Sampsell third prize
of 81 90, and Raleigh Donley and Mabel
Hill each got prize of so cents for the
next best corn.

The boys are not confident of vic

best game in their power and to make
a creditable showing. They will make

that most OF them will have. The

to be on the long end.
Quarterback Rusch accompanied the
team, but 1t is doubtful If he will be
able to get into the game With one
or two exceptions the rest of the team
is in excellent condition. Coach Rob

SCRAPPING over
FOOTBALL GAME

Minot Optic: The management OF
the Minot football team takes excep-
ton to the article in The Grand Forks
Herald Of yesterday morning in which
1t was asserted that the magic city
team was four flushing and trying to
back out of game with the Grand
Forks aggregation. Manager Baar-
man OF the Red river team seemed TO
have terrible crouch when he inspir-
ed the article and he brings forth SO
many excuses and makes such uh-
reasonable suggestions that 1t liz APP
parent that he and his men are not
especially keen for a game.
Minot has been trying Its best to
get game with Grand Forks all sea-
son but the fasteners have always In
sisted that the magicians play them on
some date when Minot happened to be
already tied UP. The reason Manager
Baarman gives for not signing up for
Nov. Is Is that their ground is liable
to be froze up or too much snow on
the ground. There may be something
In this but Minot Is perfectly willing
to go through with the deal, play
Grand Forks on Nov. Is and paw all
expenses.

The Educational Programme
Of Late Wednesday Afternoon

Contrary to expectations, DR.. George
II Vincent. president OF the University
OF Minnesota, arrived in the. city yes
terday afternoon on No. 5 on the N. p.
and was enabled to pay a visit at the
general session of the North Dakota
Educational association q little after
O'Clock DIR. Vincent's appearance
was brief but in the time he occupied
the platform he created most pleas
ant impression and made the teachers
or the fiickertail state a little talk that
was well worth the while.
DIR. Vincent is a man az n1aasine,
personality and in a few words he told
the North Dakota educators lust how
TO make their work pleasure and
their drudgery agreeable work. He
said ne was greatly reminded in his
appearance before the convention Of
the chaser vaudeville performer in the
big vaudeville houses where continu
Gus performances are given. The
chaser is usually OF poorer talent than
the headl1ner attractions and liz used
for the purpose of clearing the house.
So he felt his speech was of chaser
variety and should be used for the
purpose Of clearing the house and
making room for the Others who might
want to come In and hear the better
attractions that were to follow.
President Vincent's talk lasted bare
ly Ave minutes but In that time, for he
speaks rapidly, he told the North Da-
kotans much that will help them In
their every day tasks during the COM
ing winter and in the years to come
FOR he gave them many pleasant and
helpful thoughts to dwell upon and re-
