Mishawaka will IN all probability
have a corn school which may be
known by some other name. however,
during the fall OF 1915. The idea has
been in the minds OF the members Of
the Chamber OF Progress for some
months past, and at a meeting OF this
organization held Tuesday evening in
the Hotel Mishawaka fne matter as
sumed a definite shape. +. NJ. Bar
rows, president OF the chamber, has
been much enthused over the success
which has attended similar celebra-
tons In La Grange, and has at var1-
Gus times brought the matter before
the attention Of the local association.
Monday evening he spoke 20 the meet
ing OF the benefits likely TO accure to
the farmers, ard the city itself. by
the holding OF a corn show in Mish-
awake at the time mentioned aOOVe.
OF course, ne explained, 1t seemed a
long time of, but he believed IN start
ing the ball rolling before the snow
caught 81. Should they decide TO
emulate Lagrange the sooner they be-
gan 10 organize the better would the
chances of success be. Such an un-
dertaking would enhance the value
OF farming around this district i'm
mensely; the farmers would, he be-
lieved, eventually go deeper into the
cultivation Of products, and IL should
be the aim of the city, irrespective OF
any particular body Of business men,
to encourage the farming industry in
their neighborhOOd. The proposed
celebration should be a city affair;
every one should cooperate towards
its success, and he felt sure they
would have the backing OF the farm
ing community in their efforts.

the members present, and on the mo-
ton Of J. O. Swanger, IT., it was de-
cided that the president call a meet
ing Of the directors and committee OF
the organization TO launch the under
taking after the home coming week.
