A CORN CONVENTION
Important Meeting Called at Chicago
to Boomtho Cereal.
I'Jnno to HoDovliccl for Ktfncntlng tho Peo
ple at Homo anil Abroad na to
tho Valuo of Corn a
a Food.
Chicago, Feb. 14. Corn growers nnd
men Interested in obtaining a wider
Held for corn products convened
hero Wednesday at tho Great North
ern hotel. Tho convention will bo
unique in its way, and from It much of
first importance to farmers, millers
and machine manufacturers the coun
try over is expected. It Is to be tho
first corn convention In tho history of
tho nation. Nearly every one of tho
middle western states and a goodly
number of the far western common
wealths aro represented. Tho gov
ernor of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and
Nebraska havo appointed delegates to
represent those states at tho conven
tion, and it Is expected that two of tho
state executives will be present. Tho
Illinois, Indiana and Kansas boards of
ngriculture will have special icprcscnt
atlvcs here, and so will tho govern
ment experiment stations and the state
universities of many of tho western
states.
Tho object of tho gathering is to de
vlso plans for educating tho people at
home nnd abroad to an appreciation
of tho valuo of corn as food. The
corn millers will occupy tho fore
ground ut the meeting on this score.
They say tho pcoplo aro not fully
awaro of the manifold possible uses of
corn as food. They havo mado ar
rangements for a practical demonstra
tion of their claims at 24 Washington
street, whero they will conduct a free
corn kitchen. There will be cooked,
by expert chefs, bread, crackers, table
delicacies and also somo new corn
dishes which have not tickled the
popular palate up to this date. More
than this, they will have the kitchen
employes use a maize soap in washing
tho dishes and cooking utensils, this
soap having for Its basic ingredient
corn oil. Cooking classes will be In
structed and lectures given on tho gen
eral use of corn as an effective diet
Tho domestic science committee of the
National Farmers' congress and the
secretary of tho National Pure Food
association, Miss Emma C. Sickles,
will co-operate In this demonstration.
Tho corn men want to tako up the
plan put into execution by the former
secretary of agriculture, Jeremiah
Rusk, whereby tho corn exported to
foreign countries was tripled in quan
tity and upheld in price. Germany
bought 2S,000,000 bushels of corn In six
years ending with 1801, and during
the same length of time since has pur
chased 72,000,000 bushels. In tho four
years preceding 1S91 Germany bought
21,000,000 bushels, at au average price
of 40 cents a bushel, and during the
four years following 1891 she paid for
34,000,000 bushels an average price of
51 cents per bushel. The secretary of
agriculture brought about these re
sults partly by sending abroad an
agent, who advertised American corn
until ho and his ware became quite a
fad across the water. Another corn
propaganda in Europe will be advo
cated at this meeting.
Another subject to be touched upon
is that of a special exhibition of corn
products at tho Omaha exposition this
year. If the plan proves successful
tho experiment will be repeated at the
pan-American exposition at Buffalo.
Tho crowning effort in this lino will
materialize at Paris in 1000, where the
full and comprehensive showing oi
corn and its products, nnd particularly
its food uses, will be so placed as to
attract tho attention of Europe.

"I know what I am talking about," re
marked a member of congresa, "when I say
that a congressman has troubles of his own.
It's a fine tiling to be a statesman and show
up in the national parade of greatness at the
capital, but there's a good deal more to it
tlinn that. And one of the tilings that is
hardest to bear is what they say about us.
"Why, a lndy can't conic up acre and ask to
sec a member that there aren't half a dozen
people to wink and triiakc the head and a
lot more of the same to make him wish all
the women were in hades. Of course, there
is some ground among us for remarks, just
as there is among preachers and doctors
and hod carriers and everybody else human,
and I know a woman or two who find their
chief delight in trying to involve congress
men and other officials in any kind of a flir
tation that comes handy. Ihey are pretty
and persuasive, and before a man knows
what he is about he is down in the senate
restaurant paying for a lunch and listening
to some kind of a talc of woe.
"But they miss it now and then, and I
am glad to note an instance which occurred
only a day or two ago. A member from a
northern state had been invited to call at tho
lady's hotel the next day and she had asked
him to let her know if lie could come. He
wrote Baying among other tilings: 'To
morrow, madam, I nope to see the loveliest
woman in the whole world.' Naturally sho
was pleased and told ail the people around
the hotel about it. The next day lie did not
appear, and the next she saw him at the
capitol and asked him what lie meant by
treating her so.
" 'What did I do?' he asked, innocently.
" 'You said you were coming to see me
she said, blushing at the remembrance of Ins
words.
" 'I think not.'
" 'Indeed, you did,' she insisted. 'You
Bald you would sec the loveliest woman in
the world,' and she blushed again.
" 'Oil, I beg your pardon,' lie said, smiling,
'I meant my wife. She just arrived yester
day.' "Washington Star.
