First National" Corn Show.

The featuring of exhibits
from boy corn growers of the
Northwest will be given speci-
al attention at the Second An
nual First National" Corn
Show which will be held in St.
Paul, December 11th. to 18th.
Inclusive. Advices received
i by the management of this pro-
ject from corn producing boys,
State Club Leaders and Coun-
ty Agriculturists, indicate that
exhibits in excess of the 500
enteries received in this class
at the First National" Show
which was held in St. Paul
last December will be greatly
outnumbered. Special space
is being reserved for the Sc
gregation of boys exhibits and
all publicity possible will be
given to show the important
part the boy 8 are taking in the
the production of corn in Wis
consin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho, the
states included in the Corn
Show territory. Each of these
States have been divided into
districts in such a manner that
boy exhibitors will only have
to compete with contestants in
their dividual district, who
have grown corn under similar
soil and climatic conditions.
The first prize for boys in
each district will be a beautiful
engraved silver LOVING cup; the
second prize a suitably engrav-
ed "Goldyn' bronzIloving cup.
Each prize will be accompani-
ed by an attractively engraved
diploma. These .ioving cups
will be identical in design and
of the same value as those
awarded adult exhibitors.
The First National' Corn
Shows are held under the aus
pices of the First National
Bank and Northwestern Trust
Company of St. Paul and
bankers of the Northwest, with
the object of interesting farm
ers, and farmers sons in the
growing of more corn, which
has contributed more to make
the United States a nation of
great wealth and prosperity
than any other product of the
land.
Contests in connection with
the Second Annual First Ma
tional' Corn Show are open to
every farmer, and farmers son
in the Northwest. Ten ears of
any variety of Indian corn will
constitute an exhibit. No entry
fee is charged. Entries will be
returned in eevery instance
where request is made that
this be done at the time of
making entry. Exhibits will
be received for judging up to
and including December 9th.
Pamphlets giving full details
regarding the Second Annul
First National Corn Show,
and form of entry blank may
be obtained on request, from
any Northwestern banker.

THE MONEY MARKET
AND THE FARMER
BY James E. Boyle, N. D. Ex
pertinent Station.

According to government
report, the farmers of the
United States have a farm
mortgage debt of So, 598, 985, 600.
This money is loaned to farm
ers by banks, by life insurance
companies, by mortgage com
panies and by private invest
ors. The life insurance com.
panies have loans of five billion
dollars, only ne.seventh of
which is loaned to farmers. The
estimated farm mortgage debt
of North Dakota is 500, 364, 600.
About twenty million dollars
of this amount comes from life
insurance companies. The
agents of these companies
charge a commission on the
loan, ranging usually from one
to two per cent, and averaging
1.8 per cent. The interest rate
paid by the farmer averages
81 per cent for the whole state.
North Dakota Banks loan
about So, 100000 of their funds
on North Dakota farm mortga
ges. These banks handle
about $42, 100000 of outs ide
money, on which they receive
a commission. A person or
corporation borrowing money
goes to the money market for
the loan, thus there are many
money markets. The state OF
North Dakota has a debt of
$578, 700 bearing interest at
four per cent. This money
was borrowed from state school
funds. These funds will even
tually amount to about 30, ,OOO,-
600. Many counties have a
bonded debt. One county re-
Gently built new court house,
borrowing for that purpose
5000, 600 from the State School
fund, at four per cent for
twenty years, to be paid back
on the installment plan. Most
North Dakota cities have
bonded debt, bearing interest
at rates ranging from four to
six per cent. Hundreds of
school districts are likewise
borrowers on their bonds, the
rate of interest ranging from
four to seven per cent. Thus
the farmer is seen to pay more
than his school, county, mum
c1pal or state government, al
though they occupy the same
territory. The great industries
of the country, such as traspor
tation or manufacturing, have
access to the central money
markets, such as New York.
Boston, and Chicago. Thus
the railroads have a mortgage
debt of ten billion dollars, the
interest on which ranges from
four to seven per cent. They
have two advantages over the
farmer: They have almost di-
rect access to the money mar
kets of the east, consisting
chiefly of banks, saving banks,
trust companies and insurance
companies.) They have stand
ardized liquid securities; stand
ardized, in that the railroad
bond is well known on the
money market, is familiar to

The program for the coming week

The opening feature for tomorrow

which Geraldine Farrar established
her fame as one of the great apera-

dances will not detract from the
the pleasures of the evening. The

On Tuesday night the patrons of
the Mutual will get an opportunity to
see ourselves, others see u.s. Messrs.
Hamlin & Kiger have been very busy

They Won't Crack.

In spite OF all the prophets. those
Cleveland Indians Just won't crack
under the strain of the best pennsnt

In other words. boys. the Indians
didn't crack under the strain. They
just went out and played winning
baseball. As fast as Lee Fohl had
to use green players. he used them.
They didn't get rusty shining up the
bench. They got into the lineup. and
had to make good or quit.

to crack between now and October.
They may not win the pennsnt. Luck
enters into that project. and they
may not get enough of II.
But don't bet any money that the
Indians will do any cracking. They
have the courage that goes to make
pennant winners.
