GREAT DISPLAY OF CORN.
eplsndid Exhibits ae otate Show
Progress at Amos.


Ames, Dec. 31.-More than 10000 of
the finest ears Of corn ever grown in
the state Of Iowa are being exhibited
at the annual state corn show here this
week and next, making 1t the most
notable of all the state exhibits.
More good corn OF higher quality is
being shown this year than ever be-
fore, according to H. L. Eichling, Sec
Rotary Of the Iowa Corn and Small
Grain Growers Association.
More than so per cent Of the entries
are from farmers who are exhibiting
this year for the first time, and the
quality Of their corn shows a big i'm
provement in the farm methods in
vogue in Iowa during the last few
years. and indicates that the campaign
Of education which has been instituted
has interested farmers in the growing
of good seed corn.
The samples which are being exhib-
lied this year will be returned to the
farmers. thus giving them an oppor-
tunity to use the grain themselves OF
exhibit It at other shows. Heretofore
the corn has always been sold at auc-
ton after the convention was over.
Nearly 100 first prizes went to anna
teur exhibitors, farmers who had never
shown their products before. Reds
Yellow Dent and Silver King were the
two biggest rivals for first prizes. The
Silver King sent from northern Iowa
was Of unusually high quality and
south central Iowa was also well rep
resented. Excellent exhibits Of alfalfa
and small grain were shown.
Several hundred farmers organized
this afternoon to promote the passage
of law thru the next legislature
which would secure state aid for farm
improvement: and put the state corn
show on permanent footing. Here
tofore the show has been supported by
donations.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: F. D. Steen. OF
West Liberty, president: J. II. Petty
Of Elliott, vice president; H. L. Eich-
ling, of Ames, secretary: D. HI. Dent
mire, OF Ames, assistant secretary; Ray

Z For years and years these bonds
have been considered non-existent. It
was during the administration Of John

Gil, tired OF having the city warrants
hawked about at IS cents on the dollar
decided to put the city on q cash basis.
To do this It passed resolution, Oct. 6.

Mayor Redmond And City Clerk John

In tho usual way and 1t was supposed
that MI. Bechtel and the First National
Bank Of Chicago, for which he was
the agent, had received all the bonds.
He may have done SO. But the strange
fact is that only the first 201 Of the
bonds have been accounted for until
now. Nos. 202, 203. 204 and 205 Of the
bonds have never been heard from
from that day unul now. No interest
has been collected on those four bonds
for the fifteen years since they were
issued. Ono Of the bonds was missing
until yesterday afternoon. The three
found by Mr.. Devendorfs family in the
vault where the papers were kept are
numbered 2O3. 2OA and EOS. Shortly

providex that both the principal of
these bonds and the semi-annuA in

FIRST NAVAL ENGAGEMENT
BETWEEN REBS AND FEDS
Results in a Draw-No Damage Done
After Half Hours
Firing.

Washington, March At became
known tonight that facts and data,
concerning the number OF foreigners
killed in Mexico since armed revo.
luton began there, is being gathered
for the state department by Senator
Shiycly, ranking member Of the for
eign relations committee, Which is
expected to present official records
about conditions in the southern
republic.
II was reported that Senator Fall
of New Mexico, would open the IL
bate with speech pointing to the
conclusion that McXico's past ana
present actions urged u change o,
policy.
Incidentally, the New Mexican
senator, presented the foreign rela-
tons Pedro Del Villar and Ceceiiio
Ocon, representing the political in
tercsts Of Felix Diaz. Members o.
the committee were frankly amazed
when tLc Mexicans sought the moral
support of the United States govern
mcDt TO bring about peace in Mex
leo, b. another revolution, headed
by Diaz
The committee had no idea. it is
said, of the exact purpose of the r
visit other than that they wished
information about the situation in
Mexico.
Members Of the committee declar-
ed tho United States would not rec
ognize any such a movement. Villar
and Ocon severely arraigncd Iluer.a
as corrupt, and Villa as bandit,
and argued that Felix Diaz had .
host of loyal Mexican citizens bc
hind him, who would rush to his
support to establish a real govern.
mcnt in Mexico. They wanted TO
get a promise, if possible, from th3
American government that it would
uphold Diaz and recognize him il
tho revolution succeeded.
Several members of the commit
tee characterized the proposition as
