Famous Mitchell Corn Palace Will Open Doors Today Twenty-Sixth Annual Festi \ al to Be Celebrated; Only One of Kiud in World. Il' inted I'rMii. Mitchell, S. D„ Sept. j._ \\ hen the trumpets Ware tomorrow morn ing to herald the beginning of the annual ('run Palace exposition hero, three will lie launched the 2r>th an nual festival of the only corn pnlnee in the world. On 24 previous occasions since the first corn palace was erected in 1892 have expositions been held there— often in the face of obstacles which all but led to definite abandonment of the proposition. Anil when the doors swing wide to admit the public to the newerst torn palace, redressed for ihe occasion by the skillful hands of designers who have userl corn of every shade sml variety In their work, Ihe two men who first conceived the notion of building a corn palace will be on hand to witness the consummation of an Idea which has made Mitchell the scat of one of the best known of west ern institutions. The two men are I,. O. Dale and I,. K. Beckwith, pioneers of Mitchell. One Sunday afternoon, leaving din ner at their boarding house to go for a walk, they fell to considering nagh how they might make .Mitchell fa- ] mous, and they were particularly concerned with the erection of a grain palace at Plankinton which, l hey feared, would relegate Mitchell in the limbo so dreaded by pioneer South Dakotans—“a dead town.’’ One of them suggested that Mitchell build a corn palace, and the two took it up. The next day they raised $3,700 for the project among Mitchell business men, and Beckwith had donated the use of two lots near the downtown district as the site of the projected structure. The first corn palace, built at a cost of about $5,000, was opened in September and the featured at traction was the Iowa state band of Des Moines, which gave lti concerts. In 1893 a 10-day festival was held, and 21 band concerts were given by ihe Bynn (Mass.) band. Then hard times came along, and not again until 1900 was an exposi tion held in the structure. That year the corn palace was remodeled and the Iowa State band was again ob tained as an attraction. Since 1900, with the exception of a single year, tile corn palace has been the scene of an exposition and carnival every year. Three times since its erection in 1892 ft has been remodeled or entire ly rebuilt, first in 1900 when it was remodeled, again in 1915 when a new building was erected, and finally in 1921 when another new structure was t eared at a cost of $270,000. The present home of the corn palace has one of the most modern and spacious auditoriums in the west, a stage 48 feet by 70, and a seating rapacity of 5,000. It is said to be one i of the most famous institutions of Its sort in the west. AmEBTISKMKNT. ADAKRT11KM K VT. Says New Method Heals Rupture Kansas City Doctor’s Discov ery Makes Truss or Oper ation Unnecessary A new discovery which, experts agree, has no equal for cura tive effects in all rup ture cases, is the latest accomplishment of Dr. Andrews, well known hernia specialist, of / Kansas City, Mo. The extraordinary success of this new method proves that it holds and heals a rupture. It weighs only a few ounces. Has no hard gouging pads, no elas tic belt, no leg straps, no steel bands, and is as comfortable as a light garment. It has en abled hundreds of per sons to throw away trusses and d e c 1 a r e their rupture absolute ly healed. Many of these had serious dou ble ruptures, from v’ h i c h they had suf fered for years. It is Dr. Andrews’ ambition to have every ruptured person enjoy the quick relief, comfort and healing power of his discovery, and he will send it on free trial to any reader of The Bee who writes him. He wants one person in each neighborhood to whom he can refer. If you wish to be rid of rupture for good, with out ah operation, take advantage of the doc tor’s free offer. Write him today.

But I hey Lack Beauty of Country (.iris W ho Refuse to Do So. By BASIL WOON, I niverbal '»«,rUi p staff CurreNponilrnt. Paris, Sept. 21.—Women were 50 per cent prettier 50 years ago than they are now, according to Jean Gabriel Dnumergue, the noted French painter and scenic artist, who is said to have painted more beautiful women than any other man alive. I Their figures are less lovely, too. In* asserted, in an Interview at Tiiarrit* with Universal Service. "I suppose I have painted up wards of 500 women in the past 10 years,” he said. "And the percent age of i©ally beautiful ones has been very small. "From my observations the beautiful women of today are not included in the ranks of the rich —or very few of them are. They are too pampered, take too little exercise, eat and drink far too much, and the habit of having their own way—-this applies particularly to American women—has given to their faces a peculiar peevish pout that is not at all conducive to beauty. "Sometimes when I have painted several women 1 wander out into the byways of the basque country, and there 1 am sure to find—tend ing her rows, or mayhap, waiting in a village cafe—a beautiful wo man. "The difficulty is that while 1 can persuade—in fact, they are ns a rule eager—society women to pose in the nude, 1 can almost never achieve the same thing with a simple country girl. I have seen peasant girls who, I was positive concealed the form of Venus he neath their anrple shirts, who would not allow’ me to paint them, whereas many a skinny society woman has herself ggested that I "do" her in what is now the con ventional way." Ooumergue first made his reputa tion ss a painter of dancing girls, hut lately his remarkable nude studies—anonymous but easily rcr ognizable—of prominent society women, exhibited in the fashion able salons, have caused much com ment . lie rails this style of painting "getting down to fundamental*.” LONDON CATERS TO SMALL INCOMES H> Assnrlatnt Press, London, Sopt. 21.—With the Amer ican "invasion" of London in full swing, the manager of a big Oxford street store has estimated that the visitors front over the Atlantic were spending somewhat more than ffiOO, 000 a week ill the English capital. London shopkeepers have awaken ed to the fact that by far the greater number of Americans who oome to England these days are people of moderate means, who watch their shillings and pence as, carefully as does the frugal Briton. There are still visiting millionaires who amaze the English by (lie prodigality with which they scatter money ahout, but there is only one millionaire where th^re are a thousand people of rela tively small income. Hence Itnnd s*rfet shopkeepers are finding it to their advantage to mark the prices on their window displays. This has stimulated trade with the visitors. Ten years ago Bond street shopkeepers thought it beneath their dignity to have price labels in the windows. The oddest purchase of the season seems to have been in the shop of an optician. An American, after some hesitation and fitting, selected a mon ocle and rihhon for half a guinea. When ho made his choice he said he wanted half a dozen of them, and ex plained that he had four hoys and a girl at home in Chicago who had all asked to firing them hack an eye glass from London “just like thei dukes wear." Large pearl heads worn rinse at tli# base of the throat were held by a square emerald, the single strand of pearls ending in an emerald hanging to the waist line. ZR-3 WANTS NO STOWAWAYS IP ApMM'llltPfl rreNH. KYiedrichshafen, Sept. 21.—Every precaution against the possibility of stowaways attempting to get a free ride to America on the ZR-3 will be taken by the Zeppelin officials here prior to the start of the dirigible on her westward trip to Rakehurst, New Jersey. An incident of a German fond of adventure who “bent" bis way to Rome in a reparations ship, is still fresh in the minds of flying officers here. The German, Walter Cron, a Friedrlchshafen hanker, hid himself inside the RZ 120, which was turned over to Italy in 1910, several hours prior to the start of the flight south ward, and was not discovered by the crew until the ship had passed well over Switzerland. Cron was turned over to the Italian police when the dirigible arrived at its destination. For weeks prior to the hop off of the ZR-3 for Rakehurst, the great hangar here in which the ship was built and housed has been guarded day and night, and during the hours of darkness numerous arc lights were kept burning outside the shed to pre vent any unauthorized persons ap proaching without being seen. Admis sion to the hangar itself was by spe cial card only. Bankers .Meet at Cleveland. Hv AkdOflttMl PfPM. Cleveland.

About l Wo I hints of the Nebraska corn crop onn with slam) :t light frost hy October 1, ac cording to the mid monlh crop re port of tlte division of crop* nnd live stock estimates here. The report (iilso suites thnt 67 per cent of the | plowing for wheat is completed and less limn 4 per cent sown. Tlte report follows in part: "Approximately 25 per cent of Ne braska's corn crop can withstand a light frost without Injury now, 67 per cent by October 1 and 92 per cent hy October 15. The crop Is ex Iremely uneven and the outcome Is uncertain. However, the probable yield. as shown by returns was 26.5 bushel* or approximately one buahel above the September 1 estimate de rived from the condition. "Plowing: for wheat has been de layed and only 67 per cent of it has been completed. Less than 4 per cent of the winter wheat has been sown and most of it Is in western sections. “Average estimates from grain deal pis show that half of the wheat crop has been marketed to date. An In quiry as to the average yield of wheat shows slightly less than 20 bushels per acre, which substantiates the August estimate of the division. “The soil moisture supply varies from medium to plentiful in slightly more than half of the counties, the remainder reporting very light mois ture. However, recent rains changed the condition somewhat. Dry soil conditions have made plowing very difficult and unfavorable for seeding wheat, “Reports on the average yields of spring grain crops from elevators practically substantiate the previous estimate of the division. "Reports on the late commercial potato crop are unfavorable due to drouth in western Nebraska. About half of the early potato crop has moved. The crop in other states, particularly the commercial crop, seems to l>e more favorable, a* the total United State* crop is *qual to last year. "Sugar beets appear to be some what better than expected, having shown improvement during the last month. Apples have improved also. The commercial apple crop for the country is considerably below that of last year, while the Nebraska pros j pects are considerably better. VIENNA TO PLAN NEW MONTE CARLO Hy I nlT>-r«Ml Sfrflrf. Berlin Sept. 21.— An Itallnn Fi cncn syndicate hue made formal applica tion to the Austrian government to have a gambling monopoly '‘reatrd In Austria and tliHt this monopoly b» granted to the syndicate, which obliges itself to make Vienna Into a second Monte Carlo. The syndicate promises to employ no lose than .1.000 bank clerks and others. The Austrian Monte Carlo, according to the plane submitted, will l»e In Bellevedere palace, the former home of Archduke Ferdinan 1 and wife, whose assassination at Sarajevo was the signal for the world war.

Crops Retarded by Cool Weather Frost Damage Heavy on Low lands in Upper Lake Region. Dr* Moines, la.. Sept. 21.—Con tinued cool weather throughout the central and eastern portion of the country further retarded maturing crops, and the growth of late vege tation was very slow, with light frosts in many places of the upper Missis sippi valley and eastward, according to the weekly weather and crop report of the United States weather and crop bureau for the week ending Wed nesday, September 17, made pubic here. The damage by frost w»s rather heavy on lowlands In the upper west ern lake region and the extreme uppei Mississippi valley, also a few' localities in the northern Ohio valley states and central Appalachian mountains, tlie report said. The long drouth in much of the southeast was relieved by heavy to excessive rains, while increased moisture in the southwest improved soil conditions and benefited late crops. Moderate rains were benefi cial in the northern plains. Of the corn crop the report said: "The progress of corn was mostly poor because of continued cool weath er, with slight damage from frost in a few north ventral states and locally In low lands In parts of tha Ohio and upper Mississippi valleys. Corn is approaching maturity in much of the great plains and the bulk Is practic ally safe in the southern half of Mis souri. in Iowa less than onefourth is dented and the bulk Is In roasting ear stage. Date corn needs two to three week* warm weather in Illinois, otherwise the outlook is satisfactory. In Indiana little or no corn is yet safe In the north and east portions of the state, but considerable is be yond the danger point In the south wesi. Most of the corn Is still in the roasting ear stage in Ohio.'1 Threshing was delayed In the cen tral northern states and fliers was some shock damage In Minnesota; elsewhere threshing made good prog l-ess. Preparation for seeding winter wheat advanced favorably generally though too dry in Oklahoma, western Kansas and a few sections of the Ohio valley. i Ranges 87 Per Cent Normal, Report Shows Lincoln, Sept. 21.—Nebraska ranges are IT per rent of normal, says the western range report Issued here by the I’nited States Depart ment of Agriculture.

Ill AHMldltl'lt I'IVS*. New York, Sept. 20.—Responding In tlie Infuences of easy money, Unit! prices lust week turned defintily up ward after fluctualinv within a nar low trading area for a fortnight. Prospects that preparation* for flota tion of the German loan this fall would benefit the entile market led to renewed accumulation of invest ment issues and to an expansion of speculative operations. The billion dollar turnover of funds on September 15, incident to the I'nlted States treasury's operations, unexpectedly swelled the plethora of cash In Wall street. Concessions from the prevailing time money rates which followed provided an incentive for large scale buying of Liberty bonds, high grade foreign obligations and do mestic railroad liens. The strong underlying position of Ihe bond market was attested fur ther by over-subscription of the Amer. ican portion of Canada’s fall financ ing, consisting of $90,000,000 one-year, 4 per cent notes. Total applications approximated $200,000,000 and allot ments were made on a maximum Ixisls of 30 per cent. Transfer of tlie dominion government's business from J. P. Morgan and Company, which hitherto had handled its principal financing, to a banking group beaded by the Chase Securities corporation, aroused widespread comment in in vestment circles. Offering of the Canadian issue swelled the week's total of new fi nancing to more than $163,000,000, a figure exceeded only once before this year. This was in the week ended February 13, when the $130,000,000 Japanese loan was floated. "The large volume of financing contrasted sharp ly with that of the preceding week w hen offerings aggregated about $45, 000,000. Important business included a $5,000,000 short term note Issue for Argentina and advances of about »U",. 000,000 f"t both the railroad and pub lic utility industries. Although easy money wag the chief ! factor in the advance of investment rail bonds, merger possibilities gov erned the trend of the semi-specula tlve issues. Constructive operations in Missouri Pacific and International Great Northern liens were based on the expected approval of the consoli dation of these roads with the Gulf Coast lines into a greater Missouri Pacific system. Rock Island issue* also were Imught in anticipation of the road's eventual acquisition t*v the Southern Pacific. McADOO TO STUMP FOR DF.MO TICKET Hf lni\*r*.nl Nersic*.
