The City Commissioners Have
Established i Public Rest
Room in Watsrtown.
FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Matron Everything Com
Portable and Convenient.

Mayor Wagner and the members OF
the city commission, have had in mind
since they took office. the necessity
of a rest room in some kind OF q
building on the lot east OF the city
hall, but this would be expensive, more
than the commission felt that they
could handle at the present time.
H A short time ago. as Mayor Wagner
was walking home to his dinner, as
he passed the public library building,
the thought came to his mind, that as
the basement was not ii use. he would
try and get that for a temporary rest
room. He Immediately took the mat,
ter up with the library board, and
they gave their consent quickly. The
rooms are large, have water connec.
tions, toilet and other necessities, and
will be in readiness for use in about
a week, when announcement will be
made and more said.
The rest room Is great necessity
and is a very convenient place for
women and children. ls3

Corn Contest on
''Seed Corn Day.

Last February the Citizens National
Bank offered prizes to the growers OF
the best field OF corn Of 90 acres or
over, who would agree to signify their
intention OF contesting before May 4.
1912. A good number esponded and
while the backward summer made
discouraging work, the contest bids
fair to be very. interesting and an in
centive to q real advance in corn grow
| ing In this county.
Prof. a. N. Hume, the we'll known
agronomist Of the s, p. Agricultural
College has consented to come In
person if possible and examine the
fields September 10th.
In a letter to the bank, he says n
part, September 10th should really
be known as Seed Corn Day At
least one year ago 1t was declared
such by the governor, and it will be
good time for Watertown to set the
pace by judging this field contest that
day. This department will certainly
appreciate the opportunity to Judge
this contest. This kind Of a contest
has certain distinct advantages over
the ordinary ear exhibit. The proof
of the pudding is in the eating and
the proof Of the corn is in the yield,
and the only way to get at the yielding
capacity OF corn is to measure it in
the field. After all Is said and done,
our ear exhibits are merely means Of
approaching high yields as nearly as
| possible. There are many advantages
Of having corn shows in the winter,
but there are some advantages IN
Efeld contests which cannot be arrived
| at by ordinary shows.

the bank is far the best 10 ear sam N /
