Audrain County corn, for the first
time in its history, will be shown
at the National Corn Show in CO.
lunlbia, South Carolina, which
starts in few days. G.. H. North
land, one of Audrain's progressive
young farmers, and a graduate OF the
University Of Missouri Agriculture

make the entry.
For several years Mr.. Morthland
has been experimenting with Legal
Tender and Reid's Yellow Dent and
during Farmers Week, in Columbia,
several corn men Of prominence urg-
ed him to place an entry in the
National exhibit. While the corn he
has shipped is not perhaps the choice
Of his yield, because he did not pick
it for that purpose, yet it will rank
high with the entries in the great
National Corn Show.
In 1911, Mr. MorthIand won med
al for being the best Judge Of Hol-
stein cattle at Missouri University.
He is a young man of ambition and
progressive ideas and with two OF
his friends, R. B. Atchison and H.
e. Hopkins, also OF Audrain. enjoyed

more young men like these up-to-date
boys to Farmers Week every year.

HOW AUDRAIN
w A S II AM E ID

In 1916 he moved with his family to
st. Louis in flat boat, but soon
after bought farm on Peruque (or
AVig) Creek, st. Charles county, and
erected on it a tread grist-mill and
a distillery, He used bulls on his
tread wheel and his mill was soon
called Bulls He'll Mill" He be-
came reputable and prominent citi-
zen and in 1920 was elected mem
her of the Legislature from st.
Charles county, whose area was then
much larger than it is now. Col
Audrain died November 10, 1881, at
the residence of Gov. William Clark
in st. Louis. Clark was of the
celebrated Lewis and CLARK expedi-
tlon, sent up the Missouri river by
President Jefferson In 1866, and
the first governor of Missouri Terri
tory.
The remains of Col. Audrain were
borne in hearse from st. Louis to
his home on Peruque Creek, st.
Charles county, and 1t was the first
hearse ever seen IN that county.
On December 13, 1886, Audrain
county was organized by the Legisla-
lature and called Audrain in honor Of
Col. James H. Audrain.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
TUESDAY NIGHT


One Of the most disastrous fires
that has occurred in Mexico with
in recent years destroyed the Ferris
Grand Opera House about II o'clock.
Tuesday night. causing loss estim-
ated at $4,000. The building was
owned by Miss Katie Ferris, who had
only 5000 insurance.
Il 10 thought the lire was Of In
|cendIary origin, as the electric wIr-
ing IN the building was In conduiss,
the heat was supplied BY the city
and Wat Nichols. who passed the
building shortly before the alarm
was sounded says he saw man
leave the structure by the front
door, but, being across the street,
and suspeeting nothing, paid little
attention to whom II was.
The fire was discovered by men
passing along Washington street at
about 1910 and as far as can be as
ertained the flames started in one
of the dressing rooms on the east
side of the stage.
Miss Ferris, owner of the build
ing, is undecided, as yet, what move
she will make toward rebuilding.
The Ferris Grand Opera House, as
it was called, was built by the late
G. D. Ferris, about 25 years ago. at
a cost OF about $4,000 At the
time 1t was the largest theatre be-
tween Kansas City and st. Louis and
when first opened, the crowds could
hardly be accommodated, they were
SO large. The house was opened by
g. L. Ferris, who managed 1t for
nine years, At that time there were
no regular companies travelling
through the West and Mr.. Ferris Sc
cured company of actors from Chi
cago and Kansas City. who ran
week here. He also had the Bakers
Lady Band. which was quite novel
ty in those days. The opening week
sis750O in business was done in one
night.
