CORN GROWERS WILL
 BE LIVELY RIVALS

If the inquiries that are reaching SecretaryManager w. R.

An exceed ingly interesting exhibit is assured. Having long ago begun to realize the mistake of raising only one crop. the farmers of Louisiana nowadays are de- voting lots of earnest attention to the growing of corn, and the ears entered in competition in the Agricultural Building at the State Fair this year will give an idea of the measure of success they have attained in their diversification work.
 w. R. Hendrix of Louisiana State University, will serve as superintend- ent of this department, while Prof. C.. A. Helm, of the Mo. State University, will be the judge. The indications are that they will have their hands full of responsibility, owing to the antici- pated number of entries and close ri valry.
 If the efforts of the Junior Exten- sion management are successful, prac- rically every parish in the state will be represented with exhibits from the boys and girls corn clubs. These exhibits will occupy a prominent loca- ton ia the Agriculturss Building. At least 2,000 members Nof these clubs are expected to enter the comptition, each showing ten ears. Attractive premiums have been offered them.
 The feature e the juvenile corn show Will be the annual interstate contest. This contest is onea to the junior extension clutg oe au the states in tho unica north aoath east and west Handsome trophies are offered the winners.

TOO MUCH FOR MRS. SMITH
She Couldn't Allow Her Old Friend,
Mrs. Brown, to Keep UP Her
Dragging Remarks.

Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Smith were
neighbOrS, both were fat and both
were extremely sensitive about it..
Both tried every method they could
hear of for losing weight, and, until
this summer, both continued to gain.
Mrs. Brown went West early in the
spring and while there managed in
some way to lose nearly thirty pounds.
When she came back Mrs. Smith saw
her step from the taxi and realizes
that her neighb0r had accomplished
what to her seemed unattainable.
"HellO, dearie," called Mrs. Brown.
Don't you think my trip has agreed
with me? Four months in the West
certainly make difference in one "
Jealousy seized Mrs. Smith. The
idea Of Mrs. Brown Dragging that way
just because she weighed few
pounds less
"You have fallen off marveIouSly,
dear" Mrs, Smith replied. when
you stepped out Of the taxi | never
would have known YOU, only for your
hat"

Photography 100 Years Old.

This is the centenary Of photOg-
raphy. So rapidly does the world
progress, so essential a part Of our
civilization has become the taking of
pictures, that it is difficult tC realize
that the art was unknown when Mon
roe first entered the White House,
Yet in 1920 Nlepce, first of all men
succeeded In producing what might be
called a photograph, rude impression
on silver plate rendered sensitive by
a layer of asphaltum saturated with
oil of lavender.
And though this discovery awakened
worldwide interest at the time, this
method could not be put into general
use, and not until 1889 did Daguerre
succeed in producing the first practical
photograph. After that date the art
advanced rapidly, so rapidly. IN fact,
that before 1850 the daguerreotype
was common in every village il every
family. From the silver plates of
Niepce to the motion picture Of today
is long step, step which but Illus
trates the rapidity with which moderi
civilization advances.

DuckbilI Freak Of Nature.

The duckbill, or platypus, is one
of the strangest and most paradoxical
of all the animals of nature. 1t is
sometimes called natures Joke. 1t has
a bill and webbed feet like duck and
can swim and dive like a fish. The
most unexpected trait of the animal
is that it actually lays eggs. He
makes long tunnels in the banks of
streams in his native home in Aus
tfalia These are made barely large
enough for his body to pass through
80 that if he desires to return at any
time he simply backs out, which he is
enabled to do, since his fur is like
that Of the common mole, set in such
a way that no matter what direction
he moves his fur neither hinders him
nor gets full of dirt, The duckbill is
all that is left of large family.

Niqht in Battery Park.

Battery park at dusk is filled with
people seeking relief from the City'S
heat. From the benches one may gaze
upon the Statue of Liberty, Governors
and Ellis islands. The harbor is filled
with craft and now and then an ocean
liner noses its way out to sea. 1t is
one of the most picturesque spots in
all New York. In the background is
the New York sky line-a nest Of
cloud-pierced buildings. On the top Of
these buildings many rich men are
building fine bungalows. One has a
sleeping porch adjoining his bedroom,
and by pushing button his bed rolls
out onto the porch At nightfall the
section has the peaceful quiet of the
village churchyard, and the only noise
Is the soothing chimes of Old Trinity
striking the hour. A visitor along
Wall and Broad streets, SO thick with
jostllng humanity during the day, is
rare at night, and his very presence
exctes suspicion. He is Swallowed
from the time he arrives until he
leaves.-New York Correspondence of

STOLE HER FLOCK o. CHICKS
How Leghorn Hen Procured Large
Family Without the Formally
Of Matching Them.

The fox is no cleverer than a Leg
horn hen. so at least thinks one
reader of the Companion who has
read the numerous stories that it has
printed to illustrate the cleverness Of
foxes. TO justify her opinion she
tells story of hes own. Here it is:
In our flock of chickens we had
only one brown LeghOrn, but She was
hard to beat. one day she stole her
nest, and. though Leghorns do not, as
a rule sit, some time later she came
marching proudly into the yard fol-
lowed by a dozen little brown balls.
In week she had following her 20
chicks Of all ages and descriptions;
she had stolen them from other hens.
And besides attending to the needs
Of that large family she began short
ly to have an egg in her coop every
morning.
An interesting incident occurred on
a neighbOring farm. A persistent lit
tie hen that was repeatedly prevented
from sitting finally disappeared and
returned some days later with seven
fluffy baby quail, She had evidently
driven the mother quail from her nest
and Matched the eggs herself. The
baby quail Obeyed her commands, and
she was very proud of them but in
the words of my small brother, won't
she get the surprise Of her life some
day when these little quail learn to
fly !-YOuths COMPANION.

Conserve Heat From Suns Rays,

Long years ago, a gentleman in In
dia cooked Il meal for some of his
friends by refecting the rays of the
sun from mirror on his cooking
utenSil, says Popular Mechanics Mag
a2inc. This was, of course, out Of
the question on rainy days and dur
ing the night Now comes mechan-
zeal harness for the heat of the suns
rays wherein it is preserved for night
and Cloudy.day use At the SmthSon-
ian solar observing station ON Mount
Wilson in California is such device.
A large I by l0-foOt mirror, built
Semi-cylindrical in shape and made OF
aluminum-cOvered steel plates, focuses
the rays of the sun ON l12 inch pipe
placed centrally in its frame. This
pipe carries an oil of high boiling
point, which, after heating from the
reflected rays, rises to reservoir that
is insulated to retain the heat for a
long time. Oven compartments are
embodied in this reservoir in which
the foods may be placed for cooking.
