 most beautiful flights of his career The weather was ideal The day was waning
 and the sun commencing to drop behiad the somewhat fog screened hills around Jones valley. There was little wind and 1 Peck made a remarkable getaway. aris- in.I in very short space forward and climbing upward in shorter distance for

Eddie Single Black, who Is associated with Johnson Broth CTS of Birmingham Brindley kept close to the ground so that the pas senger could enjoy the novel sights and see the crowds although at various times during the flight he arose to an altitude of about 1900 feet The flight was d great success and MT Black was delighted. While in the air he dropped out advertising matter. which floatcd to every part of the grounds, waited onward by the gentle air currents which were blowing across the hell.

The White Slave as presented at

Of mention. While the lecture did not
iaLk very high, the pictures spoke

ing to listen. They certainly pro-
claimed the facts as far as they could
oe in compatibility with decency.
The pictures were not In any sense
,verdrawn, as those conversant with
the facts well know.
Only the shortsighted will fail to
take warning. The truly intelligent

and guard with greater zeal the girls
in whose hands must be placed the

ed farm
Mr.. Palms real experience as a
farmer began about sixteen years
ago. He had been on the road as
a grocery specially salesman, when
he took notion that he would
rather be an agriculturist, so he
took few short courses at Purdue
University and rented a portion of
the farm he now occupies. Nine
years ago he began carefully breed
ing this new variety of corn. For
two years he planted two rows Of
Reid's Yellow Dent, then two of Alex
ander's Gold Standard, detasseling
the Gold Standard. From the detas-
seled rows he picked for seed only
the ears carrying the characteristics
he wanted to reproduce, planting
these in breeding plots and main
tanning careful selection so that in
nine years time he had developed a
we'll settled type.
The Palm champion ear was the
fist winner of the w. K. Kellogg
Matte nal Corn Trophy, handsome
silver and enamel cup made by Tiff
fany of New York at a cost Of 81, 600.

manufacturer of Toasted Corn Flakes

FAIR GROUND FARM CHANGES

Mountain Home is truly to be con.

whereby Mr. Brady becomes the own.
er of the Fair Ground Farm.
The deal was made by K. J. Col

for the purpose.
Consideration, SIS 5000.
This deal will place very import
ant county asset in clean, competent
hal ds and, will in all probability,
assure an opportunity for the future
exhibition of Elmore County prod
lcts, as Mr.. Brady is not the man
to permit grass to grow under his
feet, or to allow a valuable advertis-
ing medium to remain idle.
The purchase gives further proof
If such were needed, that Mr.. Brady
is In dead earnest about the matter.

Safeguard Our Youth.

therefore an absolute ne ,essiry that
proper laws be passed in order to
lessen the chances of infection. More

these criminal diseases which have

Just a cOuntryman-that's all"
is the way the grower of those re-
imarkable ear of corn, 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 exhibits,
Mr. Palm asks for no greater honor
or distinction than to be known as a
plain Hoosier farmer, and while he
openly rofesses reasonable pride in
the achievement of growing the fam
GUS ear of corn which was adjudged
the most perfect ever grown. it is
without a shadow of ostentation.
In the first place, Palm knows corn.
If there were no more proof of this
fact than the bare story of the de-
velopment and discovery of the
champion ear it would be enough.
And in proof of this fact, here is the
story:
