Oyer » Ss a billion dollars were paid for them. More than a million and a uuarter extra dollars went into the poeiceteuf the » SB farmers for corn this year than they received for the previous year s crop. St The reason for this may be found in the fact that the people of the United States are beginning to learn how delicious xS K corn is and to realize its full food value. ws 3 Kellogg’s Toasted Corn Flakes has placed corn among the indispensable items of daily fare. S B The makers therefore are interested in the development of the King of Cereals, and have decided to award a beautiful sis trophy for the man. woman or child who can produce the best ear of corn in two different seasons. SB. Professor Holden of the lowa State College, the greatest authority on corn in the world, will award the prize at the a® ® National Corn Exposition, to be held at Omaha. Neb.. Decemberfth to 18th. 1909. Two single rules will govern the plan. 3S 98} and they are —that you send your best ear of corn to the National Corn Exposition. Omaha. Neb., before November Ex c 3 2i 1909 and that you are a member of the National Corn Association. Full particulars regarding which can be had by fig f® writing to National Corn Exposition. Omaha. Neb.

It will be open Ms to every state in the Union Profewor Holden will judge the corn particularly on the basis of quality. The growing Sfg Sfi. of more corn per acre is one object of the award, but the main purpose of the founder of the trophy is tor «ti Increasing the Quality of Com Used in Making Kellogg’s % TOASTED CORN FLAKES / Many people think we have reached the point of perfection in Toasted Corn Flakes as it i£kF WSgk now is.

THE BISHOP HERE (Continued from bage 1.) comes to doing work of this kind, in fact he cannot be beaten at any place in the game. Clyde Graham and others from Laporte are arranging a slock of clothing and notions in the W. W. Briggs room on Line street, and on Wednesday morning and they will begin a sale which they expect will be well attended. Mrs. Ben Christman, of Kendallville, is here visiting with her many friends. Miss Nellie Pyle, one of the telephone operators, has gone on her vacation and will spend a week or so with friends at Fort Wayne, and Huntington. Work is making rapid progress on the grade for the interurban. Yesterday was pay day and the men ail got their money, and last night was a happy one for many of them. At the rate the work is now being done, it will be an easy matter for the contractcfrs to finish the job by. the time designated in their contract. o ONLY SEVEN THIS SUMMER ______ » Seven Bank Clerks Under Arrest for Defalcations. There are already in Indiana seven bank clerks whose shortages have been discovered this summer and who have been placed under arrest since the last session of the federal grand jury at Indianapolis. These men, of which Nicolai, of Auburn, is the seventh, are all out on bond to appear before the federal grand jury the second Tuesday of next November. This large number of alleged dishonest young men is startling and it really is a question just where the epidemic will really end. Os the seven cases mentioned, Indianapolis furnished three, Terre Haute one, Tipton one, Fort Wayne one and Auburn one. o Mrs. Elizabeth Deval and Miss Leonore Gibbons returned to their home at Zanesville, after a visit with Mrs. Clark, Mrs. J. S. Coverdale and Mrs. Elias Coverdale and other relatives.
