high and the ears looked as long as
stove-wood.
An old lady from Vermont gazed at
it and declared that the stalks were
spliced. Then she took another look
and changed her mind. "But," said
she, "it didn't grow that big in one
year. 1t must have grown for two
seasons"
The man in charge of the Kansas
exhibit was somewhat of a prevarica-
tor himself. 'Lady," said he, in
great solemnity, 1--WE are almost
ashamed to exhibit this corn. This
has been hot, dry year in Kansas
and we have not been able to raise
very large corn But we felt that it
wouldn't do to have Kansas ex-
hibit without corn, so we brought
this little stuff along. In a really
cool year the corn grows so h gh in
Kansas that eagles build their nests
in the tassels, knowing full we'll that
they are out of range of the farmers

bye. That's what 1t cost Chanute
to have good time Tuesday and
not a mothers sou has kicked on
the price. Tne doctor himself
could not have precribed better
day for circus. Hot, sure it W IS
hol-hot as-wel something like
Texas in he summer time. That's
why Sc few people caught cold.
Tne heat helped the favor of the
red lemonade and made business for
the laundrymen who have families
to support.
The baring bands, the roaring
lions, the steam calliope the
crowded streets, the den of snakes,
the pranclng horses, the antics o.
the monkeys, the sportive clowns
the beautiful costumes of the per
formers all pass before the memory
in kaleidoscope efect-the whole
remaining as muddled memory o

Spiders Get Busy Along River

No less than half dozen people
have been receiving treatment from
city physicians this week from the
effects of poisonous spider bites
they received while fishing or camp
ing along the Neosho river. In
each instance where they were bit

and seems to spread badly. If this
thing continues fishing on the river
won't be pushed much and we will
hear of big catches later on when
the spider makes his getaway.

OBJECT TO WHEAT GRAD
Ruling Would Cost Farmers a Million
Dollars; 1t is Declared.

Wichita Kan. June 6.-Kansas and
Oklahoma grain men are opposing mill
ers in the controversy relative to state
inspection of wheat.
The millers have asked the state
grain commission not to grade wheat
higher than No 3 when it contains
more than 1 per cent foreign substance.
A. the annual conference of grain men
from Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas,
held in Wichita today, this subject was
brought up and it was decrded by vote
that the millers are wrong. 1t IS
claimed that it will prevent the sales
of wheat on contract and will cost the
farmers of the wheat belt 81 000, 900. 1t
was also decided that the best way TO
sell wheat, is not by test, but by
samples.
Everybody had favorable crop reports
to make, harvest is on in full blast or
will be by the first of next week IN
Texas and Oklahoma. Kansas grain
is reported ripening rapidly and har
Vesters will be in the fields next week.
Fully 400 grain men attended the con-
Vention. In the afternoon an entertain
ment was given in a suburban park at
which athletic exhibitions were given
by professionals.
The meeting was called by request
OF the Wichita board of trade. E. J.
Smiley secretary of the Kansas Grain
Dealers association had charge of the
eEtertainment.
