"We have a sort of corn show
at my farm all the time, and
there is always an award for ex-
ceptionally good ears of corn,
ears sufficiently true to type to
permit of their being exhibited,
There is a small box on every
corn wagon III which the most
perfect ears are thrown. These
when properly selected, consti-
tute tho seed corn, and among
think 1t is the most perfect ear Of
corn I ever saw. It'e good enough

HI CHAMPION EAR

"Just cou-tryman, shafts
ALL" is the way the grower of
this remarkable ear of corn,
Fred G. Palm, styles himself .
Though he is admitted to be one
of the leading corn experts in the
country, one whose services are
greatly in demand as a judge of
corn exhibits, Mr.. Palm asks for
no greater honor or distinction
than to be known as a plain
Hoosier fsrmer, and while he
openly processes a reasonable
pride IN the Achievements of grow
ing the famous ear of corn which
was adjudged the most perfect
ever grown, it is without a shad-
ow of ostentation."

The champion ear Of corn was
not an accident. There can be
no greater lesson in the value of
careful stu1y and painstakil G Sc
lection Of seed and breeding than
the experience of this same Pa
lin, The farmer who thinks he
stands 3 chance to 60 into his
corn field and by a piece of luck
pick cut al ear which nature has
fashioned even nor perfectly
and wrest the honors from this
Indiana nah, cannot do better
to disabuse his mind of this fa..
lacious notion than to read the

Fears are entertained that there will
not be shipping facilities at hand to
bear to market this tremendous yield.
The consequence might be that
there will lbe larger quantity OF wine
made there than usual in order to
save the large crop thus left at home

SEARCHING FOR
RUNAWAY LAD
Sixteen Year Old Freeman Grigss
Went to Carnival Yesterday and
Forgot to Return Home.

Grief of mother for her runaway
son led Mrs. Malinda Griggs to the
police station today where she implor-
ed the police to restore her son to
her. Freeman Griggs is the runaway
lad, and his age is sixteen.
Mrs. Griggs told the police today
that Freeman left home yesterday at
/ o'clock to attend the carnival, and
that was the last seen of him. The
Griggs home was uneasy all night lest
the son should have met with an acct
dent, but this morning the mother re-
ceived a letter from the son which in
dicated that instead of meeting with
mishap, the lad had very probably
decided upon a life of his own way OF
living. The letter stated he was In
the country, but there was evidence te
show that the son was not in the
country, and that the letter was writ
ten to throw the mother off the
track.
Freeman, said Mrs. Griggs, was
very fond of the life of a Snowman
and in her opinion he had Joined the
Snyder company and could be found
at the carnival grounds Detective
Wilson went to the carnival grounds
and made search for the youngster
but he could not be found.
