Cash prizes of $5, S3 and i2 will be offered for the three beet exhibits of yellow and white corn and a prize of 15 will be offered for the best exhibit exclusive of white and yellow. The exhibitor of the corn must also betbe grower of it and he must bo pre pared to show that it was grown in 1906. It is believed that wide interest will be displaved in this contest by farm ers and the plans of the committee are made public through the Journal at tt li time that farmers may Belect their eed for the coming spring's planting, having this contest in mind This action cm the part of the local offkers is highly commendible. It will lead to the splection of better seed corn and to greater interest in corn production in the county. John Grossnickslaas, Albert Steng er and J. H. Drinnin were named a committee of three to solicit cash do nations to cover the amount of the premiums. Farmers should take notice of this matter and speak to their neighbors about it. A good annual coru show in Colum bus would afford excellent advertising for Platte county land as weU as stimulate the raising of more and better corn. A. J.

Announcement of a performance of "The Holy City" interests theatre goers to an uncommon degree. The great Biblical drama and the sump tuous production given it, the strength of the acting company, the tnu6is ami and spectacle with which the play abounds furnishes dramatic satisfac tion and scenic pleasure so complete and grateful that Managers Gordon & Bennett's enterprise is a leading fea ture in all columns containing thea trical news. Seldom has a play been so immediately noted, because seldom has buy one play so man points of value The theatre -goerB who appreciate entertainment in the proportion given for following thought, will, in the thrilling told story of the Apostle John, find reflec tion dramatic study and future en joyment rarely combined. The thea tre goer who is more pleased with brilliant spectacle and wonderful stage effects, has his wish gratified by ia vish preparation -and almost unpre cedented execution. In his applica tion or a performance of "The Holy City," Manager Saley sought the most important theatrical offering of the season. Advertised Letters.
