BIG CORN SHOW.
Tin lane National Exposition Opened
in the Chicago Coliseum.
In Chicago's magnificently decorated
Coliseum the first great national corn
exposition ever held in this country
was opened to the public. Every corn-
growing state in the union is represent
ed among the hundreds of displays of
white , red and golden cars , forming
the most complete agricultural display
of its kind ever seen. Sixteen thous
and dollars in cash prizes and over
$30,000 in special prizes will be award
ed. Corn husking bees and similar ru
ral entertainments will be held daily
during the show. In addition to the
corn displays , an exhibit is shown of
household articles made from differ
ent parts of the corn plant , including
husks , stalks and tassels. Among the
articles shown are rugs , portieres , ta
ble covers , mats and picture frames.
Elaborate decorations , costing near
ly ? 30,000 , have been installed in the
Coliseum , com and corn plants being
the dominant material used. In addi
tion to a miniature corn farm in the
center of the big building , an ancient
'temple , dedicated to the goddess of
corn , has been erected , where at cer
tain periods of each day the virgins
of the sun will offer sacrifices of corn.
On either side are shields of the dif
ferent states , done in corn , each show
ing the amount of last year's corn crop.
A unique feature is the corn demon
stration kitchen , where 300 ways of
preparing corn for human beings to
eat are illustrated by expert cooks.
Among the 1,320 knoAvn varieties of
corn on exhibition is corn of a blue
color and white corn on a purple cob.
Fourteen states in the corn belt are
represented and exhibits have been re
ceived from foreign countries.
Insanity IVot Increasing- .
Dr. Carlos F. Macdonald , the New
York alienist , discussing the recent sta-

Manager Detroit Team. Manager Chicago Team.
tistics issued by the Lunacy Commission
of England and Wales , said there was a
steady numerical increase in insanity both
in the United Kingdom and in the United
States , but ho did not believe that this
implied an increase in the ratio of in
sanity to population. The increase of the
insane in England and Wales had been
from 3G,7G2 in 3839 to 123.9SS in 1907 ,
or 237 per cent , whereas the estimated in
crease in population in the same period
was only 77 per cent. In spite of these
figures Dr. Macdonald calls attention to
several new factors in the problem , among
which are the widening conception of in
sanity so that many cases now appear in
statistics which formerly were not count
ed , and the increased confidence in insti
tutions for the insane , whereas formerly
relatives sought to conceal the condition
of insane persons. He also asserts that
there has been an increase in the longev
ity of the insane under modern methods ,
and says that the statistics are padded
oy a great many readmissious which ap
pear as new cases. Speaking of the
causes of insanity , he attaches less im
portance to exciting causes and greater
importance to predisposing causes. Only
people with unstable mental organiza
tions are likely to succumb to the ordi
nary exciting causes grouped under the
general heads , wine , women , worry and
work. His observation among English
men has led to the conclusion that the
modern Briton is anaemic rather than
full-blooded.

A COSMOPOLt TAN HARVEST.
Four Races Are Picking : Cotton In
the Field * of Oklahoma.
An Oklahoma cotton field recently pre
sented a cosmopolitan appearance , as
much so , perhaps , as it would be possi
ble to find in the entire West. Engaged
in picking the crop were four races of
men white , black , red and yellow and
five nationalities the American , Indian ,
Mexican , African and Japanese. It is
true , also , that the crop has been gath
ered more promptly than usual , becausi
of new labor , which was greatly needed
to harvest the fleecy staple.
The Japs were the latest arrivals , and
Oklahoma is the first cotton-growing
State to experiment with these people.
Many of them came south from the beet
fields of Colorado and Nebraska , and if
they prove valuable as pickers many more
will be engaged by the cotton growers ,
especially in the more northern and east
ern counties of the State.
It was found , in engaging Jap labor
ers for work in the beet fields and for
general improvement work in cities , that
many of them were not strong enough to
stand heavy labor , and it occurred to M.
Chuma , one of the" , native citizens , that
it might be possible to find work for all
such in the southern cotton fields. Ac
cordingly , he visited Guthrie several
months ago and made arrangements with
local cotton growers to give the Japs a
trial. They will be used next season also
for tending and chopping the crop as well
as picking it. It has often been found
as difficult to get cotton choppers as cot
ton pickers.
Test of Church Cordiality.
Miss Laura A. Smith tells in the Sep

perience in making a series of visits to
different churches in the larger cities ,
with the object of testing "the welcome
given a stranger in the average church ,
to see what was meant by the invitation ,
'Strangers cordially welcome , ' and to see
how many of the clergymen or members
of the congregation would speak a word
of greeting or encouragement to the stran
ger within their gates. " Miss Smith says
that she dressed in very plain clothes , and

she attended twenty-foie churches , and
of these one pastor spot : * to her , while

From the inhospitable East she turned

Several New York and Boston minis
ters interviewed upon the question raised
by Miss Smith's test hold that it is now
generally regarded as beyond the true
courtesy of the church to force attentions
upon visitors , such as handshaking and
questioning. One says that because per
sonal inquiries are not made or attention
paid is in no sense a contradiction of the
invitation to strangers. lie holds that it
is impossible in the great cities to make'
the church the social club that Miss
Smith seems to be looking for. Another
says that normal persona go to church
not for sociability , but for spiritual edifi

they appreciate the gentle courtesy of be

To Curtail Copper Production.
The officers of the Amalgamated Cop
per Company have recommended that the
mines of that company be "hwt down un
til the copper market conditions improve.
This course is brought about by the fact
that the Amalgamated Company has on
hand a large stock of metal for which
there is little demand in the market. It
is taken for granted in trade circles that
the action of the Amalgamated will be
followed by several of the other heavy
producing mines. It is notable that this
un-'avorable condition of the copper mar
ket should have developed in spite of the
efforts of the Standard Oil interests to
maintain the price of the metal and the
standing of the copper stocks.

EASY FOB MORPHY.
Story of the Gre.lt Ghana Master and
a Celebrated Painting1.
Paul Morphy , on his visit to Phila
delphia , was the guest of a clergyman ,
the Rev. Mr. H. On his arrival at the
minister's home the chess master was
Qrst ushered into the library , and his
attention was at once attracted by a
painting over the mantel , which was
a fine copy of a celebrated painting rep
resenting a game of chess between a
young man and the devil , the stake
being the young man's soul.
The artist had most graphically de
picted the point in the game where it
was apparently the young man's move ,
and he seemed just to realize the fact
that lie had lost the game , the agony of
despair being shown in every line of
his features and attitude , while the
devil from the opposite side of the table
gloated over him with fiendish delight.
The position of tlae game appeared ut
terly hopeless for the young man , and
Mr. H. said he had often set it up and
studied it with his chess friends , and
all agreed the young man's game was
certainly lost.
Mr. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied it for several minutes ,
when finally , turning to Mr. H. , he
said :
"I can win the game for the young
wan. "
Mr. U. was of course astonished and
said , "Is it possible ? "
Mr. Morphy replied , "Get out the
men and board and let as look at it. "
The position was set up , and in a
few rapid moves he demonstrated a
complete -win for the young man , and
the devil was checkmated.

A Doctor of Divinity , now Editor of
a well-known Religious paper , has
written regarding the controversy be
tween Collier's Weekly and the Relig
ious Press of the Country and others ,
including ourselves. Also regarding
suits for libel brought by Collier's
against us for commenting upon its
methods.
These are his sentiments , with some
very emphatic words lelt out
"The religious Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Collier's Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man. " Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the "Boo
IIoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Man's"
successor ? ' '
"A contemporary remarks that Col
lier's has finally run against a solid
hickory "Post" and been damaged in
its own estimation to the tune of
$750,000.00. '
"Here is a publication which has , in
utmost disregard of the facts , spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and has
suffered those false statements to go
uncontradictcd , until , not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet , and peaceful , to resent the in
sults , it makes the mistake of wander
ing into ; i fresh field and butts its rat
tled head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile ,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
it back a dose of its own medicine. "
"It is a mistake to say all the World
laughs. No cheery laugn comes from
Collier's , but it cries and boo hoes like
a spanked baby and wants $750,000.00
to soothe its tender , lacerated feelings. "
"Thank Heaven it has at last struck
a man with "back bone' ' enough to call
a spade a "spade" and who believes in
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor. "
Perhaps Collier's with its "utmost
disregard for the facts , " may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless it is
on file in our office and is only one of
a mass of letters and other data , news
paper comments , etc. , denouncing the
"yellow" methods of Collier's. This
volume is so large that a man could
not well go thru it under half a day's
steady work. The letters come from
various parts of America.
Usually a private controversy Is not
interesting to the public , but this is a
public controversy.
Collier's has been using the "yel
low" methods to attract attention to
itself , but , jumping in the air , crack
ing heels together and yelling "Look
at me" wouldn't suffice , so It started
out on a "Holier Than Thou" attack
on. the Religious Press and on medi
cines.

He never misses a Sunday , even if there
is a blizzard , and he stays till closing

"They ought to be provided with a
strong railing or something of that kind. "
"What for ? "
"So a train couldn't run off the track

not made itself more ridiculous than
any continent of ours could make it.
Does Collier's expert to regain any
self-inflicted loss of prestige by demon
strating thru suits for damages- that it
can be more artful in evading liability
for libels than the humble but resentful
victims of its defamation , or does it
hope by starting a campaign of libel
suits to silence the popular indigna
tion , reproach and resentment which it
has aroused.
Collier's can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. It
can not postpone the public judgment
against it. That great jury , the Pub
lic , will hardly blame us for not wait
ing until we get a petit jury in a court
room , before denouncing this prodigal
detractor of institutions founded and
fostered either by individuals or by the
public , itself.
No announcements during our entire
business career were ever made claim
ing "medicinal effects" for either Post-

are results obtained from the use of
medicines.
Thousands of visitors go thru our

themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat , barley
and a little salt ; Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten per
cent of New Orleans molasses. The
art of preparing these simple elements
in a. scientific manner to obtain the
best food value and flavor , required
some work and experience to acquire.
Now , when any publication goes far
enough out of its way to attack us be

of ignorance or worse.

accompanied by George Peabody.
One day they went a couple of miles
up the Shannon between Castleconneli-
ind Kallaloo. They had engaged the

unl Peabody were keen anglers they
made a long day of it.
On returning in the evening Bright , .
noticing a policeman on the river bank ,
.isked what sum the boatmen were en
titled to for their time. The constable
said anything from seven and sixpence-
to ten shillings. Bright turned to hla
companion , saying : "I have no change , .
Peabody ; have you three half crowns ? "
The millionaire produced the coins
and gave them to one of the boatmen ,
who said : "And is that all ye're givin'
me ? "
"That is all , " replied Peabody.
