COUNTY CORN
GROWING CONTESTS
Judging Results at Medina and Other
Points.

A. F. Borchert left Monday for Me-
dina to take part in a district corn
judging contest at that place, the
prizes being awarded by leading
merchants of that town.
Geo. Berg, a merchant of Kensal,
has also awarded prizes for the best
ten ears of corn grown this year, CIV
ing IS for the first, So for the Sec
ond and 50 for the third prize.
Pingree and Courtenay also offer
prizes for best corn in certain dis
trtcts. .
Mr.. Borchert thinks there has been
better quality of corn raised this
year than ever before, much of it al
ready cut and in shock, and now is
the time to secure it all, as the frost
is likely to damage it at any time.
A great deal of corn fodder of su-
perior quality will be produced this
year. There have been some good
fields of Minnesota No. 13 raised,
one of them by J. Yeager Of Bloom
township. This is large cared va
riety and shows what can be done in
selecting the proper seed and cul-
tivating the corn under the condi-
tions that have prevailed this year
in this state.

ship, west of Edmunds. Rev. Ira E.
Hammer by his untiring efforts has
succeeded in securing the new
church at Woodwork, which is COM
plete throughout, as is the Bethel
church in the Pipestem Valley. The
new M. E. church at Woodwork is
30x36 feet, and presents very sub
stantial and handsome appearance,
with square tower, corner entrance
and a fine auditorium or assembly
room.
The church was organized in 1911
and the following year plans were
laid to build the church; excavation
began in May, 1912, and the frame
work was erected in August. A
temporary residence in the church
was fitted up for the pastor and fam
ily
The finances were handled without
raising money by church suppers, fair
or entertainments.
Near Vashti the Methodist people
also desired church building, and in
the summer of 1912 formed a socie-
ty under the title of the Bethel M. E.
church, at Pipestem Valley. Steps
were taken at once to provide for
church building. Frank Archibald,
one of the we'll known farmers of the
county, gave an acre of ground, and
the foundation was laid in 1912. The
building was enclosed and used first
for a series of revival meetings, con-
Quoted by Rev. Geo. A. Finch of
Washhurn, this state. At the pres
ent time the building is completed
throughout, and recently Ed. Nc
Cleary presented the society with a
first class gas lighting plant which
has been installed.
The trustees of this church we're
able to present the same to the bish-

Dor paid, and no outstanding debts
against the society.
Among the new churches in Mid
land Continental towns will be an M.
E. church at Nortonville and q Ger

suggestion of the court with alacrity
and started at once to the country.
E Cole, a transient arrested for
drunkenness, was in Justice Muir
phys court Friday and fined SIS and
costs. which he paid into the city
treasury.
r. L. Brady, transient, was also
before the police magistrate charg-
ed with drunkenness. He was as
sessed fine Of $40, and in the alb
sence of same was committed for five
days at hard labor to care of the
sheriff. 1t was learned through a
partner that quantity of bootleg
whiskey had been shipped by ex-
press to Brady from Moorhead. This
proving to be the case the booze was
confiscated by Chief Obermiller, and
two telescopes containing the stuff
were taken to the city bastile. Bra

SELECT ROUTE FOR
 NEW ROAD

State Engineer E. A. Kingsley. Judge J. M. Thomas, Jno. A. Davis and N. E. Ward yesterday went over the route for the road to be built connecting Clark Ne vada and Hampstead counties. The road will lead through Bou- ghton. This makes it slightly longer than the old one but it can be more easily constructed.
 State Engineer Kingsley states that there is great abundance of material all along the route and that the highway should be constructed for a very small amount of money. It is very probable that if this road is put in the proper condition the Nat ional Highway will select the same route and run through this city.
 The trip to the adjacent coun- ties was made by these gentle men in Mr. Davis Apperson Jack Rabbit" and returning from Emmet in the afternoon the distance, nine miles, was coy cred in 33 minutes.

Commercial Appeal Says BruBdidge's Former Supporters Will Vote For
 Democratic Nominee

A news story in a big news. paper, unbiased in Arkansas po- litics says that almost without exception former Brundidge supporters are now working for and will vote for the Democratic nominee, Judge Hays. The story which appeared in Wednesdays issue of the Memphis Conner cial Appeal in the Memphis news section, is as follows.
 Judging by expressions of opinion heard around the local hotels during the past few days from residents of Eastern Ark. |, the voters of the eastern tiers of counties who were supporters of former Congressman BrundidgC in recent Democratic primaries have decided to cast aside their factional difference and support Judge Geo. w. Hays, of Camden, the Democratic nominee in the coming election.
 The election will be held on July 23, a week from today. Owing to the dispute as to the primary nomination between Judge Hays and MT. Brundidge the party has been seriously split and there is more doubt as to the outcome of the election than in any similar race in Arkansas, for years.
 Residents of Arkansas, who have been in Memphis with in the past week generally believe that in spite of the threats of Brun- didge's friends that they would refuse to support Judge Hays, that most of the formers sup porters will vote for Hays rather than risk the election of Harry Myers the Republican nominee or of c. w. Murphy, the Bull MOOSp candidate
 A number Of Arkansans have been at the local hotels this week and almost without exception those of them that were support CTS of Mir. Brundidge before the primary have decided to vote and work for Judge Hays rather than see the state turned over to any other than Democratic governor.
