NOTICE TO DEMOCRATIC TOWNSHIP COMMITTEEMEN.

, Justices of the Peace, constables and members of the township advisory boards are to be elected at the general election of November 6, and it is desired that conventions be held and such nominations be made and reported to the county chairman as early as convenient. These nominations must be filed with the county clerk not later than Oct. 20, 1906. At the same time it is requested that a judge, clerk and sheriff be selected for the election. L. Strong, Chm. G. E. Hershman, Sec. On the modern theory of preserving peace, everything looks serene. The Krupp works are making 2,700 pieces of artillery for eight governments. One already has to look in out-of-the-way corners of the inside pages, for news of the widely advertised Joe Cannon boom. Naturally the Cuban insurrection is bound to have its effect on the Havana cigar manufacturers in New Jersey and Connecticut. If the Attorney General goes ahead and 'collects the $147,500,000 in fines for which Standard Oil standß liable, won’t that be a long step toward government ownership? The Democrats of Lake and Newton counties have nominated C. M. Hanger, of Morocco for joint representative. Clint is a mighty good man and ought to be elected. To the credit of Russell Sage be it said that no actresses have had the sublime nerve to put in claims against the estate. Uncle Russell may have had his faults, but they were not the faults of the Pittsburg millionaires. The Commoner. Lake County Times: Every tithe a young scapegrace gets into trouble, his first appeal is. “Don’t tell mother.” Sotrte youths should carry a picture of mother around with them to refresh their memory that she still li/fes and will be broken hearted if they depart from the path of rectitude >

TALL CORNSTALKS

But Who Has the Tallest? Is the Question THE DEMOCRAT WANTS TO KNOW. i A Large Number Already Entered the Contest and There Are Many More to Follow. Interest in The Democrat’s cash premium contest for the tallest stalk of corn grown in Jasper county is manifest in every neighborhood end hamlet in the oonbty, not so much for the premiums offered as the desire to know who really will be able to produce the tallest stalk of com and what its height will be. There probably was never so much tall corn grown in this county as the present year, the weather since July 1 having been all that could be desired for this great king of cereals, and it has just sprung up by leaps and bounds until it is almost necessary to look twice to see the t6p of some of it. We would like to see every township in the county represented in this contest, and many entries from each township. Remember the name of each contestant or exhibitor, together with the height of the stalk entered and the place of residence of the exhibitor, will be published in The Democrat , of Saturday, Sept. 22, and this list will prove interesting to every reader of this paper, he resides in Jasper county or some other section of . the state or United States. Even though you may not expect to win a premium—which is a small matter and is offered merely to stimulate a little more interest in the contest—ff you’ have some extra tall corn —and every farmer has this season—bring it in and have it measured and get your name in the list and show to our hundreds of readers in distant states that Jim Smith nor John Jones were not the only farmers who raised tall corn in Jasper county this year. No one is barred, be he democrat, republican, prohi or “pop,” the only condition being that the corn must have been grown on Jasper county soil. CONDITIONS. Each stalk must be pulled from the ground and the dirt carefully shaken from the roots. It must contain the ear or ears of corn ! growing upon it at the time the ttalk is pulled, and-must be delivered at the office of The Democrat in as good condition as possible and as soon after removed from the field as convenient. Each stalk will be carefully measured at the time of delivery and its height together with the name qf the grower will be placed in a record book especially provided for the purpose. The contest will close at 12 o’clock M. on Thursday, Sept. 20, aud all exhibits must be in before that hour. Only one stalk is wanted, but if an earjy exhibitor later finds a stalk of greater height than that first exhibited, be may, before the close of the contest, bring it in and it will be accepted the same as though it was his only exhibit. All premiums will be paid in cash on Saturday, Sept. 22, 1906. This contest is open to all farmers in J&sper county, and we want to see them take hold of the matter and hunt up the tallest stalk of oorn they can find in their fields and bring jt in. The name of eaoh exhibitor, together with the heighth of the stalk of oorn" exhibited will be published in tbe issue of The Democrat of Sept. 22.
