Lisbon, N. d., Aug. 25.-The third
annual Ransom County Corn Festival
will be held Oct. 2, 3 and A, at Lis
bon. 1t will be by far the largas.
corn show held In North Dakota, and
the person who still believes that
corn cannot be successfully grown in
this state will have an opportunity
to prove to himself that he is living
in the cOrnbelt. Here he will see the
cream Of the 10000 acres Of corn rails
ed each year in. Ransom county.
There Is $500 in cash prizes offered
to lure this into Lisbon. When it an.
rives the Commercial club will vel
come it and dress it in its very best.
Lisbon welcomes the corn world and
all the followers Of the golden car
during the first week Of October.
Lisbon is the home OF the corn
show as far as North Dakota goes
The first corn show held in North
Dakota was staged 1T Lisbol during
the fall of 1911, ana proved beyond
all doubt that Ransom county wa
in the corn belt. Hundreds OF prize
ears were there, some of which were
shipped east, where they also captur-
ed some ribbons. But the corn festi-
val Of 1912 was SO much better than

methods of diversified farming and
soil enrichment. The object of the
Commercial club is to encourage bet.
ter methods of farming and to teach
the people Of Ransom county and
North Dakota the place corn should
have on every farm.
Corn has long been a resident Of
NoIth Dakota. Lewis and Clarke, in
the account Of their trip up the Mis-
souri, mention the fields OF corn that
the Mandans grew. But within the
last half dozen years this state has
awakened Ito the fact that corn is not
an experiment, but a real crop, that
puts real dollars in the banks. With
this in mind the progressive farmer
Of North Dakota has moved towards
the methods of farming employed by
his eastern brother. Some have
made rapid progress along the better
farming lines, others are going slow.
Silos with their dairy herds are creep
ing in around those red barns that
dot the state. The hog is here.

farming has been established and in

the state better farming experts have
been employed. Corn has come back
to stay.
; The Lisbon Commercial club, that
progressive organization that has
mdae Lisbon, saw this movement aud
with all the force that cooperation
and organization can focus on M
pushed the Corn Show. No
wonder that it has been a success.
No wonder Ransom county is in the
corn belt. This is not all that the
business men of Lisbon did for the
betterment of farming methods. Dur
ing the past year they have employ
ed a better farming expert, who is
also q corn expert, to teach the farm
'ers the very best ways to make
King Corn prosper.
Prizes this year will be given for
other vegetables and for the best
bushel of small grain grown in the
county. There will also be the usual
prize for the best five pounds OF home
made butter and the best loaf OF
bread. Additional prizes have been
added for the best article Of certain
kinds OF needle work.

AN open SECRET !

Washington, Aug. 25.-Two big
touring cars stood near the north por-
7tico of the White House late yester.
day. One of them bore on its door
panels the seal of the United States.
which identified 1t as Il Of the pres
idential automobiles. The other was
a plain car that attracted attention
mainly by reason Of the letters, "U.
S. S. S." large enough to be read a
block away, which doomed up from
the front between the headlights. A
policeman on guard at the White
House entrance was appealed to for
information by some pedestrians,
whose curiosity was aroused.
What kind Of a steamship might
that be-" the policeman was asked,
"What does U. S. s. S. stand for?"
United States secret service was
the reply. j
That's surely what you would call
an open secret" cried one Of the pc.
destrians. a t nt
Heretofore it has been the case
that the secret service operatives as
signed to SHADOW" the president have
worn no badge nor device to adver-
tise to the world who and what they
we're. But this is an administration
which believes in publicity in some
things.

The boys corr growing contest
will be held on the same dates and
the hundred dollars in cash prizes
will be given to the boy between IL
and Is years OF age that grows the
best bushel of corn. With this event
will be combined the school childre1's
industrial contest, in which prizes
are given for the best bushel of corr,
or manual training work to the boys,
while the girls obtain prizes for the
best loaf Of bread or the nearest piece
of sewing. :
Another thing that shows that the
Lisbon Commercial club has the right
spirit is that there are no charges
made from entrants or for the rent
of the building. Everything is free
to the farmer. ...
The farmer is the source OF North
Dakota's prosperity. Why not COOP
crate with him and show him that we
appreciate his work? This is the
