Never did the young honoree
look more interesting and fasci

expressed in such a sweet and
girlish fashion as to captivate all
who saw and heard her.

CORN CONTEST.

victor in the old Grecian Ol.vmp e
games had no material value vhar

none the less zest.
It had no exchange value, for t
could adorn the brow of none but
him who had aspired, and strug

J achievement of the coveted prize.
[ Only one of many conte-'tants
could wear the crown, yet not one
hut secured the more real, the more
lasting prize of greater physical en

PROGRESS, that is the watch

we are only savages. With it,

The glory of it is, that progress
is a ladder with ever higher rungs
to reach.
Agriculture is the basic industry
of all civilizations. Not one of them
could survive without the scientific
and orderly growing of crops, and
all agriculture is scientific, whether
