Corn Palace is an annual event
at Mitchell and is held in a very
large building built especially for
it. The decorations on the out
side were certainly fine and a
person can hardly imagine the
various designs that can be made

building there are two very
striking examples of handiwork,

WINS, FIRST PLACE IN
NATIONAL CONTEST

Arthur Fleming received a
very pleasant surprise on his (O
birthday Tuesday when he receiv-
ed notice that he had won the
first prize in the national con-
test for commercial designing. ac-
companied by a three-page letter
congratulating him on his SPLEEN
did success.
Nearly everyone in this COM
munity has seen many samples
of Mr.. Fleming's work at the big
store where he is employed and
also on handbills, big painted
signs, etc., and knew that he was
especially clever with the brush
es but even he did not know
how his work would be classed
with the many others in that
line of work.
Several weeks ago he received
a notice of the national contest
put on by the Federal Schools of
Commercial Designing of Mime
apolis, the notice also containing
the rules and regulations of the
contest. During his odd mo-
ments he filled out the papers
and made up the designs required
and sent them in lust for the
fun of the thing" He had no
expectation of landing prize in
competition with so many old
men and with those who have
passed through schools of design
ing, therefore. his surprise was
complete when he landed the
highest award which includes
free tuition for a course at that
big school. This is a big honor fol
anyone to win and will be worth
a great deal to him in his line
of work in years to come. Hi:
many friends here are glad to
hear of his success.-Pine County

Birds in Fellowship
at Hungers Bidding

Class distinction among the
"birds Of the air" is q matter Of
seasons. 1t is all very well for the
meadow lark to spurn the society Of
the noisy and common English
sparrow, and for the blackbird to
look with scorn on the gossipy blue
jay, but winter in Indiana does
away with castles when the question
Of food arises. Better to mingle
in the good fellowship Of all fowls
and be fed than to stand aloof and
90 hungry.
So reasoned eight meadow larks,
one blackbird, one bluejay and .
dozen or 90 English sparrows who
frequent the Broadview apartment
house in Broad Ripple in quest Of
sustenance. And rarely are they
disappointed, for the tenants have
made it Q point 10 put out food
regularly for their feathered friends
The first meadow lark appeared in
the midst Of the snowstorms New
Years day, and afterward at each
feeding time brought in other
birds.-Indianspolis News.
