Fred Killing has decided, after Civ
ing some thought to the matter, that
it doesn't pay to be careless. Mr..
Killing came to this conclusion since
the state corn contest at Mitchell last
week, when a little piece Of carlessness
of his beat him out of a first prize.
He selected his ten ears of corr for
the contest, but in the hurry of packing
them got n ear from the lot that he
had rejected. This was a good ear of
corn, but it had a white cob, a rarity
among his corn, and the penalty of the
judges for this ear was five points off
The winner of first prize scored $50,
while MIR. Killings corn was given
76.5, and the five points taken off
would have given him S1.5 and first
place. He says that the joke is on
him, but hereafter there will be no
carless packing of the Killing exhibit.
