The supper will consist of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, baked beans, potato salad, celery, pickles, bread, butter, coffee, pumpkin pie and ice cream.

oCm is not going to turn out nearly so well as was indicated by the investigation just before the frosts. Many farmers are now reporting that the corn is drying up into chaff and fields that looked like they would turn out sixty bushels or more will not turn out half that much. This condition seems quite general and A. C. Stauffenberg, who came over from Washington, 111., today, to look after his farming interests here reports that in his home in Illinois the same condition exists and that he does not believe there will be more than half a normal crop there.
