and says in part:
"The rules of the contest are very
simple. The boys and girls need not
plant and cultivate the corn themsel-
yes, but they must select the bushel
which is to be entered in the contest.
Any boy or girl between the ages of
10 and 16 years may take part; and 1t
is permitted that more than one child
of family participate. The contest
will be held sometime in September.
The contestants should select one
bushel of any variety of white or yell
low dent corn and bring to the place
designated by Mr.. Thielman. Those
living outside of radius of ten miles
may send their corn by express and

Mr.. Thielman will pay the expense.
The selections will be made by expert
judges. However, the corn sent will
not be returned. Remember, that,
contestants are not confined to any va
riety of white or yellow dent corn.
And owing to the scarcity Of good
seed corn it advisable that those de-
string to take part should secure a.
sufficient supply from a reliable
source at once.
"You will, therefore, make list Of
the boys and girls of your school,
ranging between the ages above set
forth, who wish to take part in this
contest and forward the same, togeth-
er with postoffice and rural route adj
dress, age, and number of district to
this office. To make this success it
is necessary that we reveive these re-
turns within as short a time as pos
sible, and hope that you will give
this matter your immediate attention

HOUSE COMMITTEE ? RECON-
(MENDS FORCE OF 137,7OO. ~.
AND SENATE 100000 gsa = !,

Washington, March 8-Both senate
and house military committees will
recommend to congress a larger
standing army than the war depart
ment has asked for.
The house military committee late
today voted for regular standl~ g
army with a peace footing on $4,000
men, with a 2 per cent allowance for
recruiting, bringing the number up to
100000, which is slightly more than
the war department asked.
The senate committee late today
tentatively agreed to ask standing
army of 100000 men.
The senate committee has about de-
cided to ask in addition to the stand
ing army of 100000 men a volunteer
reserve, aside from state militia, of
10000 men. This is in keeping with
the plan of former Secretary of War
L. M. Garrison.
The plan adopted today by the
house committee, in addition to call
ing for a regular standing army of
137 900 men, provides for the reorgan-
ization and federation of the ma
tional guard to maximum strength
of 424, 200 men, of which so per cent
must be recruited within two years.
There would be a maximum of 800
men and a minimum of 200 in each
congressional district.
The regular army, in the proposed
senate measure, would be so organ
lied with skeleton regiments that it's
number could be doubled in a few
days without detracting from its fight
ing effectiveness. The tentative fig
ures are:
SiXty-fve infantry regiments as
against 81 now.
Nineteen cavalry regiments as
against Is.
Twenty-six thousand men in the
coast guard as against $4,000.
Training of school boys and volun-
teers by army officers and compulsory
service for limited period each year
also will be recommended by the SEN
ate committee, but perhaps not in the
army bill.

Lamb Besides Raymond Hitchcock,
one Of the foremost comedians of the
age will be seen in a Triangle-Key-
stone comedy entitled, "My Valet, !"
in three reels. You will miss some
thing really worth while if you pass
up this program. The Symphony or
chestra will furnish the music. The
admission will be rs and IS cents. The
story of "The Lamb" follows:
A sprig of an old Knickerbocker
family has won a beautiful girl as
fance, and everything seems merry
as wedding bell, when the girl Mary,
discovers yellow streak in her lamb.
Mary gives the man the mitten.
Later he goes to Arizona, where the
girl and her friends are enjoying a
visit at a ranch. The lamb leaves
the transcontinental train to buy
some Indian trinkets. The train goes
on without him. Crooks offer to take
him to the train by short cut route,
then pack him, and he is left for dead
on the desert. Later both Gerald and
an aviator, whom he meets on the
desert, are captured by Yaqua In
dams, taken across the Mexican bord-
er and held prisoners. A thrilling
fight ensues between the Yaquas and
Mexican soldiers in which the Indians
are victorious. Gerald's sweetheart,
in an automobile party that ventures
across the line, is captured by the
Indians too. Gerald and Mary are
left alone together. The real quail
ties of the lamb assert themselves.
