COUNTY CORN SHOW
Annual Exhibit to be at Linneus
December e and 20

The Seventh Annual Linn Coun-
tY Corn Show will be held in the
opera house in Linneus, Missouri,
December 28th and 29th, and prom
ises to be one of the most interest
ing events of the year for the farm
ers of the county. More than $3.50
will be offered as premiums on
bushels, tens, and singles. The
classification also includes wheat,
oats, soybeans and clover. One
peck each will be required in the
competition in these latter classes.
The one-hundred dollar Linn
County corn trophy will be offered
for the sweepstakes. ten ears of
corn of the entire show. This is a
prize worth working for and will,
no doubt, bring out some very
good samples of corn. Will you
be one who is in the race?
All exhibits will become the prop
erty of the management and will
be sold to the highest bidder on
Saturday afternoon, December 29th
at two o'clock.
This sale of show corn will give
you chance to secure some first
class seed for next years planting
at a time when good seed corn will
be hard to find. All agricultural
experts agree that next year will
show up the greatest shortage of
seed corn in many years. You
had better plan to get some of this
good corn.
Mr.. J. G. Hackleman of Colum-
bia who is known to many of the
people of Linn County will be pres
ent and award the premiums and
will also deliver a lecture in the
Opera House on Friday night. We
have asked Mr.. W. L. Nelson of
Columbia who has been Assistant
Secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture to be present on Fri
day night also and deliver Lecture
on Farmers Organization. On
Saturday night we hope to have
Mr.. J. Kelley Wright with US to
give an illustrated lecture on
Greater Missouri" Mr.. Wright
needs no introduction to the people
of Linn County.

Gov. Harris has misread the signs and is
doubling the usual dose.
Whlle the Governor has the legislature OH
his hands this time we hope they make COM
pete JOB OF prohibition and be done with it
that they make it SO bone dry that the prohi-
bltlonst who takes PerWa for catarrh viii
be prohibited Just as the ordinary citizen who
takes drink because he loves the liquor.
Make 1t bone dry, gentlemen. so drv that
no one can say you left loophOe for another
extra sessiOn-take the Governor into con-
ference and let him be satisfied with the law
before you enact it, and then enact it without
delay that will cost the State thousands Of
dollars
Give us sure enough bone dry legislation
while you are at it-and see who sQueals first.
When the legislature is preventing the ship
ment OF Tennessee cheap liquor into Georgia,
the question of $4,000 deficit in the pension
fund will also be attended to.
1t seems that our State is in a pretty bad
way, financially, and the best way to get rid
of the debt is to increase it by lacking on the
expense Of an extra session of the legislature.
This session will cost between $4,000 and
$4,000, and that subtracted from the $4,000
pension deficit would reduce the amount con-
slderaby, and when you add to the $2O.O 600 or
$4,000 that this session will cost the sum that
the other extra session cost and subtract the
total cost of extra sessions from the $4,000
the $4,000 would dwindle like the proverbial
SNOWFALL
But Gov Harris says it is worth the price,
and we will humor the Governors feelings
we don't want him doing any more Lake
