A Bit OF History

The first national corn show was
held in Chicago in 1907 under the aus
pices of the business men of Chicago.
This brought together large exhibits
of corn and grain and was deemed
worth while. At that time a national
corn association was organized and
took up the matter Of holding nation
al corn shows. The next shows were
held at Omaha in 1908 and 1909. The
show was then moved to Columbus,
Ohio, in 1911. The next national corn
exposition was held at Columbia, S.
c., in 1913. The exposition then went
to Dallas, Texas, in February, 1914.
Since that time no national corn show
has been held. 1t was found that corn
and grain interests appreciated the
show and made large and worth while
exhibits. On the other hand, it was
not possible to get a sufficient number
of people attend the shows TO warrant
the holding of the same, or to finance
them in the proper way. For this rea-
son they were discontinued.
1t has been the feeling of a great
many years that corn and grain
show could be held in connection with
the international Live Stock EXPOSE
ton. The live stock business is found
ed upon the grain and hay crop of the
country. Live stock men are interest
ed in the development of grain and
forage crops. Since these two inter-
ests work hand in hand, there is every
reason why they should be joined and
operated together.
Dean G. F. Curtis was elected pres
ident of the international Live Stock
Exposition Association this past year
and at once proceeded to arrange for
and international Grain and Hay show
He approached the Chicago Board of
Trade, which body agreed to ccntr;,
butte $4,000 in cash premiums. With
this as a basis, the live stock man.
agement agreed to meet the overhead
expense. All is now under way and
there are big prospects for fine dis
play. In addition to competitive ex-
hibits, there will be a large number
of educational exhibits at the master
show, to be held in Chicago from No
vember 10Th to December 9th.

To and fro, up and down the long ward
Like ministering angels they go;
Their faces are sweet, their garb is

Their voices are soft and low.

BY fingers that know just how;
And the angel Of pain flew off in a

AS before their sway he must bow.

A patient at an insane asylum was
pushing a wheelbarrow around the
yard upside down. A visitor watched
him for some time, then asked, "Why
don't you turn it the right way?" The
insane man laughed, 81 did, one night
and somebody put bricks in it." A
-lot of merchants have a newspaper,
that reaches a good percentage of the
population. It's business is to carry
your message, or advertisement; to
let people know what you have to
sell. Haven't you been pushing the
wheelbarrow upside down about long
enough?

lays eggs. So does the goose, but we

He just got back from France.
Twenty some months of it. Home
again, tired but happy. His job would
surely be waiting for him, because the
boss had said so when he marched
away. Yes, it would, for wasn't that
a large service flag in the window, as
he drew near? And wasn't the other
window plastered up with Liberty loan
stickers? When the boss told him
his job was filled, he thought he had
misunderstood, you know twenty some
months within hearing of the big
guns hadn't improved his hearing.
But the boss repeated it-said he was
sorry-but, land the soldier clicked
his heels together and turned, and as
he walked by the service flag and the
Victory loan stickers-he smiled.
