A call has been issued for a meeting at that time. It is said that the committee will consider action necessary for the enforcement of the liquor laws in dry territory, but it is understood also that some decision will be reached as to what the league will ask of the next legislature. Probably no other conference to be held this year will be of so much Importance to the state generally and to the two old political parties in particular, as the attitude the league will take Is expected to influence very largely the demands for more temperance legislation. If the radical members prevail it is expected that a decision will be reached to ask for a statutory state wide prohibition law, which, it is feared by party leaders, may inject the temperance issue into the campaign in away that will make it very hard to handle.

ZSOLID GOLD a SILVER AWARD\ For the Best Ear of Corn % To be Known as the National Corn Trophy $ To be Awarded at the sS. f National Corn Exposition, Omaha, 6 to'T™ *l9o9. S Over one hundred thousand million (100.000.000.000) ears of corn were grown in the United States last year. Over sis a billion dollars were paid for them. More than a million and a quarter extra dollars went into the pockets of the SB farmers for corn this year than they received for the previous year s crop. B The reason for this may be found in the fact that the people of the United States are beginning to learn how delicious Bl corn is and to realize its full food value. 9 gs Kellogg’s Toasted Corn Flakes has placed corn among the indispensable items of daily fare. B The makers, therefore, are interested in the development of the King of Cereals, and have decided to award a beautiful R aS| trophy for the man. woman or child who can produce the best ear of corn in two different seasons. gl Professor Holden, of the lowa State College, the greatest authority on corn in the world, will award the prize at the g ® National Corn Exposition, to be held at Omaha. Neb., December6th to 18th. 1909. Two single rules will govern the plan, s and they are:—that you send your best ear of corn to the National Corn Exposition; Omaha. Neb., before November g M 27.1909; and that you are a member of the National Corn Association. Full particulars regarding which can be had by writing to National Corn Exposition, Omaha, Neb. Tie a tag.securely to your specimen and word it. For the fig B Kellogg Trophy Contest.*’ and write your name and address plainly. If yours is judged the best, you will get the @ trophy for 1910. If you succeed again next year or the year following, the trophy will become your property for all time. In other words, you must produce the best ear of corn two different years. ££ Be There will be no restrictions. Any man. woman or child belonging to the Association can enter. It will be open SB. to every state in the Union. Professor Holden will judge the corn particularly on the basis of quality. The growing J*? W. of more corn per acre is one object of the award, but the main purpose of the founder of the trophy is for 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 $8? now is. Perhaps we have. If you haven’t tried it, begin your education in ‘good things to •TH eat” today. All grocers have it. rgjgSF lUS . KELLOGG TOASTED CORN FLAKE CO.. Battle Creek.

Tomorrow is September first and we are all asking, "where has the summer gone?” There is some satisfaction, however, in the thought that autumn is next, with its golden leaves and frosty air that seems good enougn to eat, the most delightful time of, the year. Millard Gilliam, custodian of the state museum, at the state house, Is preparing the museum for the annual influx of visitors which always comes with the state fair weex. The curios preserved by the state geologist for present and future generations, always present as interesting an exhibition for many hundreds of residents of the state as they find at the fair, and a trip to Indianapolis for the fair I would not be regarded by them as 'complete unless the annual visit to the museum is included. Extra precautions are taken during the week to avoid broken glass and injured specimens from accidents due to the unusual number of visitors. Gilliam has been in charge of the museum for five years and has a fund of information I concerning the exhibits in the museum. He is now spending much of his time polishing up this fund for the benefit of the ultra carious, who draw heavily on him during fair week. Although they give me much more work to do, I always enjoy the state fair crowds who visit here said Gilliam. The people out over the state are one.’ who get the real enjoym mt out o’ the museum. i ( e— —
