The critical corn situation was de-
picted by n play in which King Corn,

as the chief character. With him sat
Queen Minnie Wheat. Characters
which depicted the plight Of the corn
grower were Hard Times, III Taxes,

finally we're crowded from the stage
by High Prices and Prosperity. A
proclamation was issued by the High
Chancellor calling upon all subjects

the banquet, pledged themselves Go
eat more corn and corn-fed meat and

menue Of corn foods combined with

big way with the result that many
other cities have requested the same

sibly this crib" helps account for
the large number Of requests coming

In the selection of officers people often take into
consideration qualifications for the office which they
seek. from the viewpoint Of progressiveness OF
seem to lose sight Of the moral features Of the pro-
position at all Leaders in the city should be men
who are Interested and active in the moral upbuild-
ing OF the community. They should If possible be
men who are in harmony with church and schools
who have at heart the advancement Of the city in
every way. In selecting men for important posi-.
tions from the President Of the United States down
to the most humble office these things should
be taken into consideration.
