WIFE
WINS MEDAL
AS BEST LIAR


CHICAGO. Dec. 80. U.P)-A "dia-
mond studded" medal for the best
lie Of 1896 went today TO a Michi-
gan farmers wife. Mrs. Gale Barn.
house.
Mrs. Barnhouse's story of the
mosquito that dined on livestock
brought her first place in the 1886
Burlington Liars club contest and
the unofficial title of worlds best
liar.
The mosquito described by Mrs.
Farmhouse started out young on
chicks. advanced through roosters,
turkeys. calves and COWS. One day
Il tried TO eat a tough old mule
named Maud"
Half way down the mosquitoes gul-
let. Maud unleashed terrific kick,
broke the mosquitoes neck, and
saved the town.
That was the best of $500 whop-
pers entered from all parts of the
world. said o. c. Hulett, president.
Hulett. Gilbert Karcher and L. j.
Stang judged the contest.
Mrs. Farmhouse drove her horse
and buggy nine miles into Fowler
vile. Mich, so she could telephone
the judges to send the award out
by mail. as she couldn't attend per-
sonally.
Roman Links San Francisco fog
won second place. The fog was so
thick you couldn't cut it with
knife.
1T looked like an opportunity TO
me-" Links said. so I sprayed it
with black ink. hacked out the ink
stained fog. and sold it for coal"

out Of a citizens four-in-hand tie,

the tie around a greeting card and
then delivered the package TO the

OF a travel lecturer who projected

B RIGHT FAR N
FUTU RE SEEN
BY HARRIG AN

Agriculture faces an optimistic
future in 1897, b. A. Harrigan, agri-
cultural commissioner declared to-
day in commenting on Imperial
Valleys prospects.
Even lettuce, which SO far has
not had a particularly encouraging
season, is meeting with slight in
crease in prices and prospects are
good for better markets, said Har-
rigan.
The future is bright for grains
and alfalfa in particular: the dairy
industry is in a better condition
than in previous years; feeder cat
tie are doing well and rising mar
kets for the hogs, cattle and sheep
have been anticipated: in fact, all
the valley crops, with perhaps the
exception of grapefruit, have eX-
cellent prospects for good harveStS
and markets during the coming
year.
