Two or three years ago John Tupper

given quite free range, taking to the
timber and rearing their young, but
quite frequently they come up about
the house and feed yards, in fact they
are quite tame. This fall there are
probably about two hundred OF the
birds about the place. They are get.

be tempted to drop one occasionally

Ute Tribe No. 90, Imp. o. R. NJ, had
a big meeting at their wigwam last
Wednesday evening. 1t was one of
the best meetings the tribe has held
for some time and marked the opening
of their activities for the winter
months.
1t was expected that Great Chief of
Records F. A. Day of Des Moines,
would be present and he had accept
ed an invitation to be here, but on &C
count of illness was unable to attend.
However, he had E. A. Patterson, of
Des Moines, Great Sachem, come up
for the meeting. and all were pleased
to meet him. During the lodge session
he gave long talk, in which he out
lined briefly the work of the order in
the past and what he had planned for
the coming year. 1nasmuch as the
Ute tribe has been so greatly honored.
having two Past Great Sachems in
the tribe, he said he expected much
from them and that he would be glad
of their cooperation. All We're glad to
listen to Mr.. Patterson and learn
something of the outlook for the or

A smoker was held after the lodge
session and cards were INDUCED in,
also were some refreshments, consist
ing of pickle, sandwiches. coffee and
doughnuts. Mr.. J. V. Barborka was
present with his harp and all enjoyed
the several selections rendered.
The Utes were pleased to have with
them at this time several visiting
brothers from Woodbine and it was
plain that they were glad to be pres
ent, and will undoubtedly come again
when there is something doing. AL
together it was very successful and
enthus astic meeting and without a
doubt there will be many more such
before the winter is over.

COLLEGE HALLOWEEN PARTY.
Novel and Original Program Is Car.
ried Out to the Delight of
All Those Present.

On Friday evening the members
of the Booster Club of the Denison
Normal and Business college gave an
amusing Halloween party. The col
lege students and few invited guests
made a very jolly group, and each
member of the party was there to
enjoy himsen. and participated in the
''spooky" tricks which had been pre-
pared.
The party met at the dormitory at
seven o'clock, and after the officers
of the Booster Club and two of the
college teachers had donned their
spirit costumes, they proceeded to the
dormitory. and invited the guests
for stroll. A by-path through
the jungles led the guests to the col
lege athletic grounds, north to Chest
nut street through the dismal campus
and into the unknown depths of the
college basement. A tour of the base
ment, darkened and paper strewn, Civ
ing one an idea of the internal regions
was interesting as we'll as "spooKy.'
Upon arriving in at atmosphere
more familiar to those who were sup
posed to be good, bill boards announc
ed circus and side show in waiting,
and proclaimed, in large letters. an
admission of two cents. For side
show attractions there was the living
skeleton and wife, represented by
Otto Bliesman as the skeleton and
Gordon Luney as his wife; Ground
nog shows and a number of African
attractions, all tending to make up
the usual freak side show attraction.
John Riggleman was the chief enter
tainer in the circus proper and many
were the magic feats performed by
the great magician. Hindpaugh.'
He was ably assisted in his work by
two clowns, Messrs Lamberty and
Parchin, who took their parts well.
Mr.. kitson, in his African stunts and
as a strong man, elected much ap-
plause Miss Hugg, as fOrtune-teller
had an apartment of her own and
read the future of many.
Special music was also provided
and rendered in regular circus time.
Delicious refreshments were served
the guests and the remainder of the
evening spent in various games.
The evening proved one of the most
enjoyable entertainments furnished by
the college pupils and those FORUM
ate in attending trust for a repeti-
ton at some future date. The men,
bers of the Booster Club are to be
on the originality of the
program. which entailed considerable
labor.

CEREAL OF THE FUTURE.
Americ an Corn Driving Out Rice As
Staple Article of7Food in
Philippine Islands.

Accord ing to the Washington dis
patches, American corn is driving out
rice in the Philippines as staple ar
ticle OF food. This was the statement
made by United States Commissioner
of Education Claxton. The result was
brought about mainly through the
vigorous crusade conducted through
the schools of the archipelago by the
insular bureau of education. Rice
hitherto has been the chief article OF
diet of the Filipinos.
The opening of that new market Will
add few more dollars per acre to tie
price of all good corn lands and Iowa
is the heart of the corn lands of the
world. Corn is still in its infancy as
food product. It's ultimate posi-
bilities have hardly been guessed at.
1t is the cereal of the future. 1t will
more and more serve as a substitute
for what and as for rice. it is already
displacing that in some of the tradi-
tional rice countries. We are told that
rice has no such food value as corn.
Corn is a great life sustainer and a
great life developer One would not
be surprised if in the future corn. like
wheat. will be regarded as almost too
valuable to feed to hogs and cattle
and yet no substitute for it will ever
be found when it comes to making beef
and pork.
The days of corn are still before us.
We shall see the greatest development
of this cereal. Those who own prime
corn lands will do we'll to hold on to
them. handing them down to their
children and to their children's chill
