secretary Bryan to break down that
system In their scrutiny of the
changes made UP to date in the per-
sonnet of service.
During the last two Republican adj

There are now twenty men In the

President Wilson has made COM

to drive home his pet calf and, child
fashion, he fastened one end of a

evidently ran across fields for a con-
siderable distance, dragging the boy
over the rough ground and through
fences until the rope broke. When
the boy did not return in the evening
the family became alarmed and began
a search for him. Later. the neigh

having been extinct several hours A

.kANDIYOHI COUNTY
AT The VERY y E Y TOP J ?
Corn Exhibits Win Two First
Prizes at the Big Show
at Morris.

Kandiyohi county won the distinc-
tion of winning two first prizes at the
Corn Show at Morris last week. Her
man Tallackson, the young progress
sive farmer living three miles east
Of Willmar< won first prize for the
best ten ears of white dent shown at
the exposition. THIS is no small hon
or, considering that the show was so
large and representative. Mr.. Tai
Jackson was urged to exhibit his corn
by County Agent Poe, who had an
opportunity to inspect the corn on
the place. Mr.. Tallackson decided
finally to do this, not thinking that
he would win prize. AS it turned
out, his was the best white dent in
the whole show, and it lay between
his corn and the winner of the yellow
corn prize, who should get the grand
sweepstakes prize of Playford Ce-
ment Silo. This was finally awarded
to the Appleton man. If anyone
thinks good seed has but little to do
with raising good corn, let them con-
slider that the acre from which Mr..
Tallackson raised his prize corn was
planted with ten ears of prize corn
which he purchased from John Ahl-
strom, paying five dollars for same.
Mr.. Tallackson will also get the first
prize for the best corn exhibited from
Kandiyohi county from the Willmar
Commercial Club.
Another first prize captured by
Kandiyohi county was that for the
best bushel of corn in the boys acre
yield contest, by Paul Norling of
Svea. The Norling boys are taking
much interest in improved farming
and that they get results is testified
to by the number of prizes they carry
off in different corn shows. Paul will
get a free weeks trip to the State
Fair next fall with all expenses paid
for winning this prize at Morris.
We noticed other Kandiyohi exhib-
it's marked for. prizes, but have not
been able as yet to get complete
list of the awards. -z.s.. ..z.. 4:

Friday morning, when the editor
made his visit, there were about
twenty persons who boarded the
special train at Willmar and it was
crowded before Morris was reached.
We stayed over until Saturday to Wis

where courtesies were shown us by

newspaper boys had an interesting

splendid hosts. Atty. r. C. Ronken,
