SERIOUS PROBLEM CORN SENT BY GREAT SPIRIT Indians Have Their Own Legend of the First Production of the Nourishing Cereal. It li to the Imaginative Ojlbwny thnt kc arc Indebted for n beautiful legend )f tho origin of corn, nnd, according o this legend, for corn Itself. Ambitious for the advancement of lis people, one of their leaders sought lecluslon in the forest, anfl during n period of fasting and prayer appealed o the "Master of Life" for help to check the destructive wurs union :he nations. Afrer seven duys, Mon Juinln. a messenger from the Oreat Spirit, appeared uud for four days this leader wrestled with hlin and, Jefeatlng him, burled the body un der the leafy mold where It fell. Through the whispering trees came the command from ubove to keep the joll loose above the resting place of the conquered spirit, uud In a short lime speurs of green sprang up and with the uutuinu coloring came the ripening grain that wus to be the food of the Indian forever. No longer wus It necessary for them to depend for subsistence upon wild grain nnd game the Great Spirit liuil supplied them with n wonderfully nourishing cereal, that mixed with dried meat suhtnlnod them In the arduous physi cal undertakings demanded by their primitive mode of living. Corn was the answer to the prayers for help In tile advancement of the race. Mondamln Is still Ihe "Friend of Man," but It appears to be sadly neglected by the present generation, possibly through Ignorance of Its nourishing qualities as a foodstuff and lis cheapness.

Ed win Markham has described them thus: "They are tho Titans of our forests yes, the Titans of the forests of the world, The sequoias aro the oldest living things op the globe, tho survivors of a widespread family or race of trees which flourished back In the Miocene era, before the nge of loo. But they all perished In the. glacial nge, except a few In the shel tered canyon In the southern belt of California.

Tho Job of "feeding the elephants," which Is the blggost problom of tho circus. Is child's play comparod with tho task of feeding the livestock ex hibits that confronts the officials of tho Intertsato Fair, Sioux City, Sop tcinbor 18 to 24. Every horse, cow, sheep, hog, and chicken at the fair mu3t have "chow" and "fresh water," three times a day. It requires a lot of feed to take care of so many animals as will be shown at the fair. Many load3 of ha), straw, grain and other feeds will be needed. It takes lots of skill to put animals In shape for tho show ring at a fair. Manes and tails of horses and cows must bo "dressed," hoofs must bo manicured, every animal must be attended to. Exhibitors who are plan ning on coming to the fair aro get ting Into practice for all those arduous tasks. The educational exhibits at the com ing fair will be lare In every depart ment. Displays of women'8 work, boys and girls' work, farm products, fruits and vegetables, nnd stock, will fill tho grounds to overflowing. Big prizes arc to bo awarded for the best specimens exhibited.

Nearly 100 entries have been received and many of the nags already are In training on the rack. Prizes totaling $7,450 will be paid out.

Moore. Electric washing machines, mangles, toasters, vacuum cleaners, iluHtleas mops, flreless cookers, safety fly traps, and scores of contrivances of a like nature, will be exhibited. "Do all your housework from the neck up," Is the slogan which has been adopted by exhibitors of time saving machinery for the home. The manufacturers of equipment for the homo tell us that house-wives are using from fivo to six times as much labor saving Instruments in the borne as they did five years ago. Thoro was a time, thoy say, when the principal work of tho salesmen of such dovlces was to convince the house-wife that she could use things to shorton her work. Now overy house-wlfo, with few exceptions, Is convinced of the. valuo of then), and the moritB of tho machine in question la the only question disputed. An estlmato of officials in qhargo of the farm and home machinery show at the fair has been compiled, showing that nearly two score of oon. trlvances to cut down time and In troduce moro efficiency In tho work of the home will be exhibited at the coming fair.
