u. B. Church News.

One of the best revivals our
church ever witnessed closed Mon
day evening. Twenty-seven accept
ed Christ and twenty will unite with
the church. The spiritual uplift
was one that was so much needed
and all Christians that attended
seemed to receive benefit. Credit is
due Rev. Lineberry and wife, Rev.
Smith and wife Mr.. Splitter and
Mr.. Washburn and other workers
from the sister church for their
good help and sweet Christian spirit
manifested. DR.. E. r. Wood gave
the best of satisfaction as leader
of the song service. His solos were
well rendered and full of spirit
and was an inspiration to all. One
mist blessed feature of the meeting
was the unity of the Christian
people. Nearly all the churches of
the city were represented each eve
ming and all joined as one church.
To say the least it was glorious
time and a victory of the cause.
The second Quarterly meeting
will take place Thursday evening,
Feb. 13. Rev. J. A. Groves of War
saw will preach and the business
session will take place after the
sermon. All invited.

Jane Coleman.

Mrs. Jane Coleman, widow of
Stephen Coleman, died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Martin Lowry,
near Hubbard, Sunday morning about
$50. She had been in bed only
about week, and suffered first with
grippe, but had heart trouble also.
She had reached the advanced age
of 80 years and this made her less
able to resist the disease. Her hus-
band, died Feb. %, 1909, since that
time she has made her home with
her daughter, Mrs. Lowry.
Mrs. Coleman came to this coun-
ty with her husband from Canada
about fifty years ago. For ten
years prior to Mr.. Coleman's death
they lived at Burr Oak, and before
that at Sligo. Five children are left
in the family: Mrs. Martin Lowry,
Rev. j. ]. Coleman of Marion, Ind,
Mrs. Chas. Vancamp of Plymouth,
Edwin Coleman of Ayr, Neb., VIM.
H. Coleman of Clinton, Okla.

detasseled rows he picked for seed
only the ears carrying the char
acteristics he wanted to reproduce,
planting these in breeding plots
and maintaining careful selection, so
that in nine years time he had de-
veloped well-settled type.
The Palm champion ear was the
first winner of the w. K Kellogg
National Corn Trophy, a handsome
silver and enamel cup made by
Tiffany of New York at a cost of
1000. Mr.. Kellogg as the origina-
tor and manufacturer of Toasted
Corn Flakes naturally has a deep
interest in the development of the
higher grades Of corn, for the CON-
pany of which he is president, the
Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co., re-
quires ten thousand bushels of corn
a day for the making Of its product.
The Kellogg trophy was offered to
be awarded in annual competition
for the best single ear of corn until
won twice by the same producer.
The fact that the Kellogg product is
made only from selected white corn,
while the winning ear was of a pro-
nounced yellow type, was peculiar
feature.
The Kellogg trophy was won in
1910 at Columbus, Ohio, by R. A.
James, of Charleston, ILL.,, with a
magnificent ear of Reds Yellow
Dent, but not so perfect an ear as
that which originally won the trophy
and which has become known as
"the best ear of corn ever grown. -

just countryman-tha s all, I"
Is the way the grower of this re-
markable ear of cor, Mr.. Fred c..
Palm, styles himself. Though he
Is admitted to be one of the lead
ing corn experts in the country
one whose services are greatly in
demand as judge of corn ex-
hibits, Mr.. Palm asks for no great
er honor or distinction than to be
known as a plain Hoosier farmer,
and while he openly processes q
reasonable pride in the achieve
ment of growing the famous ear Of
corn which was adjudged the most
perfect ever grown, it is without
a shadow of ostentation.
The champion ear of corn was
not an accident. There can be no
greater lesson in the value of
careful study and painstaking Sc
lection of seed and breeding than
the experiences Of this same Palm.
The farmer who thinks he stands
a chance to go into his corn field
and by q piece of luck pick out an
ear which Nature has fashioned
even more perfectly and with it
wrest the honors from this Indiana
man, cannot do better to disabuse
his mind of this fallacious notion
than to read the story of Palm and
his champion ear.

In the first place, Palm knows
corn. If there were no more proof
of this fact than the bare story
of the development and discovery
of the champion ear, it would be
enough. And in proof of this fact,
here is the story as he told it him
self:
SIT was in November, 1910, and
we were a little late with the har-
vest. The men were going through
the fields with the. wagon in the
usual way gathering the corn, and
the harvest was promising one.
ave have sort of corn show at
my farm all the time, and there is
always an award for exceptionally
good ears of eorn-ears sufficiently
true to type to permit of their being
exhibited. There is small box on
every corn wagon In which the most
perfect ears are thrown These,
when properly selected, constitute
the seed corn, and among these more
perfect ears we occasionally find an
ear that we are willing to exhibit
In a contest.
"On the day the champion ear
was found, / was at the house and
at dinner time one of the men
brought it in and laid it, with mum
Der of other ears, upon the window
sill In the well room for me to take
and put away In the seed house.
WELL / said, do you think
you've got a good ear therea'
/" Tt looks to me like a good ear,"
he said. what do you think of iti'
CT picked it up and looked it
over. Well I said finally, Il think
it is the most perfect ear of corn
1 ever saw. It's good enough to
win the W. K. Kellogg, $1,000
trophy this year at Omaha.
"And I was confident the moment
l saw it, and looked it over, that /
held the trophy winner in my hand.
So much so that when 1 left for
Omaha to exhibit the ear, / took it
out of my grip and showed it to
the station agent with the words,
THAT'S the ear I'm going to win the
81 900 trophy with"
So there's the story of the cham
pion ear as Palm told it himself
And on the strength of it who will
saw that Fred G.. Palm doesn't just
" merit the title, "The Man who
Knows Corn?
But that's not all of Palm Z
story. He tells it willingly, though
modestly, for he knows that his
story whenever told is source OF
great encouragement of the thous-
apds of farmers who never had q
better chance than he had himself
Palm was born and brought up or
a farm near Newtown, Ind. He was
never owner of q foot of farm land IL
his life, and the 360-acre farm OF
which the champion ear of corr
which won the Kellogg Trophy was
grown is rented farm.
Mr.. Palms real experience as
farmer began about sixteen years
ago. He had been on the road az
a grocery speciality salesman, whel
he took a notion that he, would
rather be an agriculturist, so h
took a few short courses at Purdue
Univerni>g. and rented a portion o.
the To- Re now occupies. Nin'
wears ago d began carefully breed
ing this new variety Of corn. Fq'
