CORN EXHIBITS TO BE JUDGED In looking over an exhibit of corn such as may be seen at any corn show all samples look very much alike to many people. In order that farmers of Adams county may have a better understanding of the practical points of corn scoring, County Agent Ferd Christen is asking all those attending the corn show to bring ten ears of their seed corn with them. The meeting to be held on Friday, March 8, in the basement of tlie Monroe high school building, will! start at 10 o'clock a. m., and the corn judging will be conducted by M. O. Pence, of the Soils and Crops Department of Purdue. In this way, farmers can go over their own corn, study its strong, and weaik points, compare it with other strains of corn i grc.wu in tlie community and become generally familiar with all the points that go to make up a tyipe of corn. At. the same time, the samples of corn will lx? studied from the standpoint of seed selection and seed condition. The practical points of starchiness, visible indications of disease, maturity, etc., will be gone into thoroughly. Those attending the corn show should bring pencil, paper and a short ruler or tape. Arrangements have meen made • with the Monroe Ladies Aid society to serve lunch at the school building during the noon hour. The seed corn school is open to everybody and anyone interested is invited to attend Both Mr. Pence and Mr. Gregory have spent a lifetime studying seed corn problems, especially concerning seed corn diseases and they are considered as autlkorities in this line ot work. o Italian Singers Italy has produced much more than her proportion of singers of world renown. Some have attributed this to the climate, some to the diet, some to the open-air life. These may have helped, but others insist that the most Important element in the success of the Italian-born singer Is the Italian language itself. In Italy the child Is taught to love beauty In nature and art. o Valley Well Named Death valley received its name from the fact that in 1850 a party of goldseekers with their families made a one-day camp In the valley and less than half of them survived, the remainder being overcome by heat and thirst. A few escaped over the Panamints to the bountiful Californian plains; the others returned to the East . ' 0 First Modeler in Clay Butades of Slcyon was the first Greek to model in clay. The story runs that his daughter drew upon the wall the outline of her lover’s shadow, upon which her father modeled the face of tlie young man. • He then baked the model with the clay tiles that it Was his trade to make. This was about fiOO B. C. Now You Tell One We always feel when a motor bus about fifteen feet wide and experiencing more or less engine trouble is Just ahead of us in the traffic that it has Just as much right to the use of the street as we have.—Ohio State Journal. 1 o C-ntests on Stilt* Cruder and barbaric contests on stilts are those held by tlie natives of tlie Islands in tlie southern Pacific. A band of from 15 to 20 young men, with their faces painted In grotesque designs, perch themselves on high stilts and engage in a free-for-all fight, in which they try to trip and knock one another down. ’ ■ —oFamous Fishing Ground The Grand Bank is a submarine plateau In the North Atlantic ocean, ?xtending eastward from Newfoundland. It is noted for Its fishing grounds. Its depth Is from 80 to 60 fathoms. — o — Bird Is a Sprinter The remarkable flightless bird witli . its Maori name, kiwi, was unknown I to the white man until 1813. It Is about the size of a hen. with hairlike i plumage, ami a long straight bill, its [. swiftness of foot compensates for the rudimentary wing development.

Congressional Pages The pages in congress are not appointed by tiny committee. Appointments In the senate are n part of senatorial patronage. Appointments In the house of representatives are made by | tlie doorkeeper upon the recommendations of members of the house. There are 19 pnges In the senate and 41 In the house. The age limits are fourteen to sixteen years. o — Ginseng in Commerce Nearly all ginseng grown in this country Is shipped to China for medicinal use. The Industry depends en tlrely on the Oriental market. Ginseng Is consumed In negligible quan titles by the Chinese in this country, and the plant has practically no value in the United States or in other coun tries outside of China. —O First to Protect Oyster* Rhode Island was the first state to set aside water territory for tlie propagation of oysters. As early as June. 1799, this state set aside a small tract tor the cultivation and propagation of oysters by private parties. —I——o Soiled Piano Keys If it is only superficial dirt on piano keys, a damp cloth will rcmqve the substance, or a cloth dipped In ndlk. Do not have the cloth so wet that any liquid runs between the keys. After cleansing, allow the piano to remain open so that the sunlight may keep the keys white. Dust regularly. 1 o Chinese First in Field Early In the Seventeenth century the Chinese knew that cottonseed contained an oil, for it is reported In their records that in preparing cottonseed for feeding cattle they first extracted the oil, which they used for illuminating purposes, and then cooked or boiled the seed. ><>n< 1-; or i ixn i i.i:ui;x i oi iistate mi.

March 2, 1929 DEAR FRIENDS: I'm getting to be a regular interviewer. And I’ve found this much—it's mighty interesting to talk to people. For instance there's the fellow I was talking to yesterday. He boards here in Decatur and he says he used to mail his laundry home every week for his mother to do. It meant an extra trip to the post office for him —and extra work for his mother. One week «:he was sick, so he called us up and we cane around after it. He's been sending it to us ever since, and it s a whole lot easier on his mother as well as a whole lot easier for him. Our number is 134! Get to know it. BEN ZEEN.
