Corn Is King
In St. Paul

St. Paul, Dec. 16.-Corn is king just
now at the First National bank, where
coin generally reigns supreme.
The big First National corn show
opened this morning. 1t will continue
until Dec. 81 and will be open to the
public from $3.50 a. m. to p. m.
Great shocks of corn festoon the en-
trance, Fourth and Jackson streets.

yellow corn, First National Corn
Show"
The slogan of the corn show u.s.,
Corn and cattle contributed capital
for bigger balances"
The object is to encourage farmers

Trust company and the Great North
ern ticket office look like agricultural
departments at the state fair.
Scores of racks contain the entries,
of which there are more than 1000,
from Washington, Minnesota, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
Ears of corn from Washington and
Oregon measure IL inches long and
six inches in circumference.
One of the most interesting exhib-
it's is that of the boys display at the
Northwestern Trust company.
The boys of the Northwest must
have been working very hard with
their corn clubs, for their exhibit ri
walls that made by their fathers. More
than 200 boys are represented.
A $50 silver loving cup goes to the
boy in each district with the best TO-
ear display, while the second prizes
are bronze cups. The winners will
be given diplomas.
Prof. F. r. Crane, agricultural ex-
tension department of the Great North
ern railroad, is in charge of the infor-
nation headquarters at the corn show.
Today special invitation was ex-
tended to the state farm school stu
dents to attend the show.
The Judging will take place Dec. 20,

tiveness, breed type and general ap-
pearance. "

Prof. Ladd Sees Menace toN.D.
Wheat in Bill Before Congress

That the wheat growers Of this state
are just now being threatened with the
realization of a gigantic scheme to de-
fraud the industry, says Commissioner
of Agriculture R. F. Flint, is evidenced
by the introduction Of a bill in the ma
tional congress known as H. B. 21540
and fathered by Congressman Henry
T. Rainey, of Illinois. The proposition
is apparently desperate effort to
cheaper the market value of wheat
-four by injecting an inferior grade of
the product made from corn.
Briefly this proposed legislation
calls for the repeal of the present law
which imposes an internal revenue
tax upon -four composed of wheat
-four mixed with corn or any other
-four and which tends to cheaper the
predominating product.
So far as known the millers of the
country, as body, are not asking for,
nor desiring this change in the laws.
1t appears to be sought by only few
persons who no doubt have process
for manufacturing cheaply corn
flour that mixes readily with wheat
-four. Here is what Professor E. F.
Ladd, food commissioner of the state,
and probably the best posted man in
the United States on this subject, has
to say concerning this proposed legis-
lation:
AT the present time any baker in the
preparing of bread can mix all of the
corn -four he desires with his wheat
-four. Any private individual in the
home or elsewhere can buy corn -four
and wheat -four and mix in any proper
ton he desires. The millers of this
country have not asked for the priv
ilege of mixing corn -four with wheat
flour. AS nearly as ! can figure out
there are just six men in the combine
who have started this agitation of CIV
ing the privilege of mixing corn -four,
a cheap -four, with wheat -four, a more
expensive flour at more nearly the
price of wheat -four This is a fraud,
pure and simple, ingeniously devised
by one possessed of devilish inclina-
tons to again dispose of adulterated
food products to the detriment of the
American people"
This combine of promoters referred
to in Prof. Ladd's letter, are becoming
extremely active through their repre-.
sentatives in congress. These men
seek to influence assistance in the in
terest of legislation that would enact
a national law granting to manufacture
ers the privilege of mixing corn -four
with wheat -four. Anyone can readily
perceive the damaging results to the
wheat industry of this state, providing
such a law is passed, and it behooves
the people generally who are SO vitality
interested in maintaining the states
present high standard of reputation
for producing the best grade Of wheat
in the world, to take concerted action
at once to defeat this proposition and
thus preserve the integrity of -four
made from North Dakota wheat.
Show your interest in this important
matter by writing Senators P. J. Nc
Cumber and A. J. Gronna at Washing
ton, and also the congressman from
your respective district, urging them
to earnestly and forcefully oppose the
passage of the bill known as H. r.
2154O.

Industrial School for Blind Men

One of the bills that will pass at the July session of the legislature is that appropriating $25, 1000 to estab- fish an industrial school for men who are blind. The sum named is to pay only for the building.
 The city selected as the home of the proposed institution must give the site. John s. Laverty, member of the appropriations committee of the lower house, himself blind, is taking a lively interest in the measure, and his committee will report it favorably. It has already received the unanimous indorsement of the committee on edu- cation. It will have easy passage in both houses.
 It is the consensus of opinion among those who are championing the bill that the school should be situated either in Montgomery or Birmingham, preferably Birmingham, because about one-fifth of all the white blind men in Alabama live in Jefferson county.
 Montgomery will not be slow in offering a good site, and it may be assumed that some realty company or individual property owner of Bir- mingham will offer an attractive acreage parcel of ground-in one of the outlying sections-four or five acres at least. There are certain trades which blind men learn readily and at which they succeed, among them piano tuning, chair repairing and hammock making.
 The S25,0O0 named in the bill for providing the school structure is rather meagre, even for the first unit, but the institution once established and it's benefits demonstrated, addi- tional appropriations will be made as conditions may justify.
 But whatever is done in the matter of offering free site must be done soon MT. Laverty should be able to report to the legislature all the sites offered early in July.
