Five Hundred Corn Club Boys.

Three days last week, Tuesday to
Thursday, were a great occasion for the
boys of Maine who were in the corn
clubs, aud had raised each his quarter
acre of sweet corn. They we're enter.
tanned at conference in Portland, all
expenses being paid by the Maine Can
uers' Association and the Portland
Chamber of Commerce. In addition,
cash prizes to the total amount of $4,000
are given by the Gamers Association.
The program of the three days includ-
ed meetings in City Hall, where they
beard addresses, were entertained by
City Organist Macfarlane with selections
on the big organ, read their essays, and
enjoyed social time. On registering,
each of the boys was presented with a
badge. Not all the time was devoted to
meetings, as the boys were taken on
trips about the city, and spent Wednes-
day evening at Keith's Theatre.
Nearly five hundred boys we're in at

omitted of the fact that there were also
a number of girls who had qualified as
