Wonderful Array of Apples, Peaches, Pears Plums and Vegetables Astonishes All Visitors and Judges -Prizes Awarded to Many of the Competitors.

The display of fruits and vegetables in the tent i nfront of Buck's hardware store, is attracting much attention, and the booth is continuously crowded. Visitors marvel at the high excellence of the display, marvel over the fact that Marshall county eaii produce such fruit and vegetables, and marvel still more over the fact that heretofore the farmers and fruit growers of the county have kept their success in this particular line, of horticulture very much to themselves. It only required a Home "Coming to exploit this important branch of horticulture.. Now that it has been most successfully brought to the attention of thousands of ' visiters. Marshall county .will undoubtedly reap that benefit which 13 jistly hers. It is absolutely certain .hit in future the fruit growers of thio section will not be content to hi ! s their lights under a bushel; they will aspire to still ureater things, and it is cevtain that they will gain a reputation for themselves and for the county in which they live which will be hard to beat. A visit to tiie 'Ijfuit and vegetable section cannot but fail to please. It is one of the big ieaturcs of tho festival. The exhibits have never been excelled in this or any oth.'r state, at least tbatis what the judges say,and they ought to know. The praises which have been passed on this sec ion cannot out stimulate the farmers to still greater efforts, and it is safe to say that an impetus has been given to fruit growing in this part of the state as was never previously dreamed of. In the apple section alone there are 344 exhibits. Other exhibits include pears, peaches, plums, grapes, quinces, radishes, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, water melons, mask melons, squash, pumpkins, turnips, beets plant, mangolds and canned fruits and jellies of all kinds. t An interesting part of this section is an exhibit by Isaac Anderson 0f some ginseng and some golden seal. The ginseng ranges from one to fotir years old. Following ia the list of exhibitors, principaly in the apple section: Harry Kimble, Isaac Barcus, John Lawrence, Mrs. Andrews, Mr. Ackerman, Lewis Seibert, E. C. Smith, J. H Webster, George Ray, J.

Among the nianv very tastv and . pretty window displays of the merchants for the Home Coming event, none can excej that of Chas. Reynolds at the People's Drug Store. Done in many delicate tints, with the golden horseshoes hanging in the center, with golden ears of corn below and a fine" display on racks, this window is certainly a gem of the art of decoration, anl has. the nraise of manv admiring onlookers. The People's Drug Store has just received a letter from the State Food and Drags Commissioner stating that this store was in "excellent condition," words applied by that Department only to those stores which are really in that condition, for the Board is very particular about how drug stores are conducted. Mr. Reynolds keeps his basement also in the "pink of condition as to cleanliness. If ILL CORTE AT THE STATE STATE E The competitors in the fruit growing contest decided Friday to compete in the State Apple Show to be held at Indianapolis next November. A prize of $200 is offered the county sending in the best display of apples, and it is thought that Marshall county will have no difficulty in earning oft the honors, -afIter the very excellent showing the C 1 1 1. mill growers nave inaue at my Plymouth Festival.

INVESTIGATION IS ASEED OF SERVICE NOW USEDIS COSTING $29,000.000 YEARLY TOO MUCH. CONGRESSIONAL PROBE Telepost Automatic Telegraph Co. Asks Inter-State Commerce Commission To Enquire Into Business of This County. New Yor'c Asserting . t!u.t tho American people are paying rrJD.OOU,OiK) a year nmu for t!:eir tebgraph sorvice t ban t'-ev should, ami that ! the iId line companies in their cfloits tt; kill ot't' competition are maintaining ;i ü'i'infoly in restraint of trade, the Telepost Automatic Telegraph company asks for an InterState Commerce Commission investigation ui the telegraph business of the United States. To make its appeal reflect the sentiment of a large public constituency more thai. 100,000 signatures to a petition -addressed to the commercial importuning it to institute such an inquiry. Four-hundred thousand additional signatures half a million in all President H. Lte. Sellers of the Telepcst company says are' expected before the end of, the month. These siunatii.TS represent all parts of the country and are restricted largely to regular telegraph users. The petition says in part "wc believe Your investigation of teleirraph conditions would disclose the fact that the people are now and tor a long time have been deliberately deprive 1 of the advantages, benefits anil economies of law uniform rates bv systematized violations of the laws designed for their protection and betterment. That exorbinant rates for unimproved service' have been maintained either by actual combination or by 'gentlemen's agreements' and that strenuous efforts have been employed to prevent the introduction of cheap tolls, whether by competition or legislative measures seems obvious to your petitioners." Attention is called in the etition to the absorption by the American Pell Telephone Co., of former indejendent telephone companies and to efforts which it is claimed have been made to induce independent companies that have not been acquired to "enter into agreements' for tlie maintainence cf .extortionate rates, whereby the public is mulcted out of large sums annually. "The American people" says Mr. Sellers "have been humbugged and robbed for years bv the teIegraJi monopoly, with their varying rates from two to ten cents a word. The Western Union and Postal Companies have been assuring us that they are in i t 1 1 w-4 1 1 lull vof nirimf !ir same fixed and inflexible rates between all poists. While pretending to fight each other, it is significant how firmly they staud together wh?n at.'vbcdv suggests introducing an improve system with lower rates and an improved service in "the field they dominate. AVe want the Interstate Commerce Commission to open up the whole subject and smoke out the nigger in the wood-pile, hurt whom it may. "While we are vastly ahead of other, countries in most things that stand for economy in time, and efficiency, it is singular that we use the telegraph less and pay more for an inferior service than any other first class riation. And this in spite of the fact that lw?re tno distances to be covered are many times greater than abroad and the demands of Commerce for quiek and inevpensive communication more pressing than in any other part , of the world. The why and wherefore of this we want the Inter-state Commerce Commission to find out. The result should be highly enlightening to the people and. productive of much good."

An Appreciated Lecture

Fred C. Talin of Newton, Ind., known as the world's mcst successful corn grower, addressed a large concourse of 'farmers and otherson La Porte street, this forenoon. His was essentially a corn talk and deeply interesting to his listeners. A feature of his remarks was their absolute frankness, and he spoke to his hearers as if he was most desirous of their taking his advice so that in future they might profit from what he told them. There were some features of the corn exhibit, lie said, which were interesting. Tije exhibit was a large one, and in this the farmers and the Commercial Club were to be congratulated. However, in all frankness he must say to them that they were not posted on what was really needed. Their idea was to favor the growing of large ears, irrespective 'of quality. That was a grave mistake. II? favored the standard ear which should measure S1- inches in length and not over ():''4 in width. Of course he understood that the 'fault lay not 'Atogether with the farmer but with" the public which demanded quantity rather than quality. He believed t lie farmers had an honest and earnest desire to grow the kind of corn whie'.i he spoke of. The winners in tho contests Thursday proved this in their ef forts to cultivate the shor: ear i corn he hoped that when the next exhibit was shown that the farmers would have profited by his remark?. Mi Palin, during" W talk exhibited several ears of hi own corn which -vere examined with great interest. Incidentally he paid the horticultural exhibit a high compliment when he stated that he had vi-dted every horticultural show In Tn'tiv and that the one in Plymouth passed them all in regard to quf lie 'spoke of Iiis pleasure in 1 g met and talked to so manv fr.i' rs since arriving in Plymouth, and Ik lieped that Iiis visit Avo;ild limiatually beneficial. He, gave eloquent praise to the Commercial Club, and stated that there had been nothing selfish in their getting up such a festival, Avhieh was a credit to everyone concerned. It had cost tho club many hundreds of dollars and im could easily see that t lie merchants of the town were not profiting much by the event, they were standing at their shop doors extending a hearty welcome to even visitor in the citv. That was the right kind of public spirit the spirit which went far in making good citizenship ami camaraderie. These merchants had gone down deep in their pockets to bring this great festival to a successful issue, and he trusted if there was any deficit the farmers would help meet it. (A voice "We will"). Mr Palin concluded bv saviug that was the right spirit. Following is a partial list of the prize winneis: ALL PULL FOR CONSERVATION Delegates from Many States Gather in Kansas City.

Every train brought a laree I'elecration, and by noon the city was laterally packed. It was a lav Ionto be remembered and even the proverbial oldest inhabitant can tliink of nothimr to equal it in the history of the city. The restaurants wer-? taxed to capacity and money was spent with ah abandon seldom heard of. Thi IiV ) ester anArGos bands discoursed excellent music throughout the day, and it was Generally acknowledged thatTno better band than that of Rochester was ever heard in the city. Tho "Wrisht Brothers took their aeroplane out to the fair Grounds at one o'clock and even at, that early hour in the afternoon a larjre crowd had assembled, and took keen interest in the doings of the bird men. The balloon ascension which was to have taken place at one o'clock, was delayed on account of a hole beins made in the canvas, while the craft was all ready to start.. Later in the day, however, the flight was successfully made. TAFT TRAVELS ABOUTMS.IS Visits Twelve Towns and Three Congressional Districts. RECEIVED BY LARGE CROWDS Attitude of Sunflower State, "Known as Stronghold of Insurgency, Is Sometimes Contradictory but T vors President. , Kansas City, Ma, Sept 26. President Taft's program carried him into twelve towns and through three .congressional distiicts, so he had a kaleidoscope view cf Insurgent Kansas. His reception by the people Tvas as large in numbers as Governor Stubh In his qualif.cc greeting to the president had expressed a desire for. Whole towns seemed to be gathered at the stations enroute to greet hlra. Except In perhaps two Instances there was not a noticeable difference between tie w.irmth of his reception in Kansas than ir. the other states which he has' visited cn this trip. The day was undoubtedly a surprise to every one accompanying the president, perhaps including himself. Mr. Taft ended his speech-making -or the day with his address before the conservation congress here, and hre he was the one to spring the surprise, for instead of carrying off the preservers of cur resources to the abstruse problems of the Alaskan coal fields he bade them keep their attention at home and see . to it that the American farmer was shown the way toincrease the products of his lands In race with the increase, of the country's population. The creat accomplishment for Mr. Tfft was that he brought the people out to listen to him, and secured their thoughtful j attention, while he told them of his issues. The way that Kansas audiences received the president Is interesting. Yv hen be entered Coffeyville in the morning at 7 o'clock the people were lined along the streets. There must have been some 12,000 to see bim. About the only enthusiasm he aroused vas among the school children, who had been given a .holidays to see the president. Then he was taken to the plaza for a epeech. lie had a crowd of several thousand packed in the public square to listen to him. Mr. Taft spoke ok the tarilT. And they, listened to him thoughtfully. . They cheered him moderately, but ItVwas not a speech to call for. m)uch applause and be won his poict in getting their attention in his address whl:h was only a short version of his Grand -Rapids addxess.

Everybody was delighted and more than satisfied from beginning to end. SaeU are some of the expressions caught at random from those who attended the greatest gathering that ever assembled in Marshall county. Estimates of from 25,000 to 30.D0O are frequent for the number who attended the great Honie Coming during the three days. Plymouth has made a record and the Commercial Club has made good. Complete success from beginning to ending is. the story of the three days events here last week. The beauty and' completeness of the decorations, both of the streets and buildings, the variety and excellence of the shows, tlie interesting and exciting character of the smaller special attractions, thefne features of. the Automobile . and Industrial parades, the great Horse Show, the mauificent "showings of Emits, Vegetables and drains, and the splendid exhibition of Wright Bros. Biplane at the fair grounds all these made the event the greatest ever had in the county. In addition to this was the noticeable fact that the ci'owd was a well ordered one, there being no disturbances at all on any day. Everybody seemed top happy and having too good a time to make any trouble, and the large number of Commercial Gub special policemen had a salutary effect upon any who might have had a disposition to make trouble. Prof. Thompson's balloon ascensions ,the leap the gap attracticn, the corn husking bee and the ladies' hitching contest werexamong the special features which kept the people on the go all the time seeing something exciting, educational and very interesting. The music b5T .the bands was a most pleasant feature.
