A big parade of corn club boys, head ed by Governor Brown and his staff .nd escorted by the Fifth regiment In fantry, will conclude the corn show program. In this parade the boys from ach county will carry a banner upon vhich will be inscribed the county’s record in corn production.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—For the first time since their organization, nine teen years ago, the United Daughters of the Confederacy will hold their annual convention north of tiie Mason and Dixon line. This year the Daughters come to the capital of the nation, and Washington is putting on its best bib and tucker to receive these distinguished women.

The main purpose of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in coming to Wash ington is the laying of the corner stone of the monument to the Confederate dead in Arlington cemetery. To Be Welcomed by Taft. The fair visitors will be welcomed to the nation’s capital by President Taft, whose father helped to keep their fa thers out of Washington and thus pre served the city in good order and con dition that the Daughters might hold their annual convention, which begins next—Tuesday night, in surroundings worthy of them. The local members of the U. D. C., with Mrs. Marlon Butler at their head, have been laboring industriously in preparation for this historic event, with the result that their visiting sisters will be royally entertained. The fact that the Daughters have never before met in any strictly North ern city is more of a coincidence than anything else. The organization has a membership of over 70,000, most all of whom live in the South, and the annual meetings have been in the South for the sake of convenience. The corner stone of the monument in Arlington cemetery will be laid on Tuesday afternoon, at which time speeches will be made by' several emi nent people. This monument is the outgrowth of an act of congress, passed several years ago, which provided for the gathering of the Confederate dead in and about the District of Columbia and putting them in Arlington cemetery. When this was accomplished the local mem bers of the U. D. C. and the Confeder ate veterans obtained permission from President Taft, who was then secretary of war. to erect a monument in memory of these dead. Erected by Whole Body. While the project was started by the district members, interest in the work spread throughout the entire member ship and soon the organization as a whole was contributing to the monu ment.

Among other national officers who will attend the convention are Mrs. Frank C. Odenheimer, Jessup, Md., first vice president general; Mrs. Drury C. Ludlow, Washington. D.
