VINCENT AD TO THE CORN EXPOSITION Volaane Preachings Cora Caltare Offers Sample Grain to Those Who Will Try It. C. Vincent of the Farmers Grain com pany haa Issued an eight-page booklet on corn culture and to advertise the National Corn exposition, In which he offers to send ome prise seed corn to any farmer "who will agree to give it good treatment, so that it. may have a fair chance in the localities that secure It." Mr. incent, who Is an expert Judge, bought a large quantity of the corn at auction at the 11 National Corn exposi tion and he savs In his booklet that all he wants Is the farmers to send a record of the results to him at the close of the season, and he furnishes a blank for the purpose. "The grower will be the owner of all the coin grown, and will be the owner of all the premiums he may win with it." says Mr. Vincent. Then lie goes on in a terse way and gives "directions for planting prize corn," which, after all, are not much different from the directions for planting all corn If It is planted right, but a lot different from the way most of the corn is planted. s Then, when he has written it all, the grain dealer picks out this piece of classic literature to end a booklet of "Corn:" Oh, the comfort the Inexpressible com fort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts nor measuru words, but pouring them ail right out.

The steamship replaced the sailing vessel, the electric light succeeded the oil lamps, and we have no need, nor desire to "trade back." Our health Is Juat as good and we can crowd that much more work and play Into the day of twenty-four hours. Foods have changed, too. Corn bread and wheat flour share honors with dainty yet substantial "prepared foods." People now realise the necessity of stomach care. They eat more fruit and green stuffs and cereals and the health is better for it. The old fashioned breakfast of "beef steak, potatoes and bread" or "bacon and eggs and muffins" are replaced by E-C Corn Flakes or Kgg-O-Sec Wheat Flakes and fruit, and our health u better for it. All the nourishment of the grain Is retained In the crisp flakes, and It's nu tank for the stomach. Children grow fat on it.

When the Teachers' Annuity and Aid association start out to do anything they usually accomplish what they intendud to accomplish, and the results are never In doubt from a financial standpoint. And their laat effort waa in no way an ex ception, for when they decided that Mr. Jiiaeph Oahm should give a recital of pianoforte music under their auspices, II meant tha hla popularity as well as theirs would secure a large and intelligent audience. And so, the First Congregational church had one of the largest audiences of the season to welcome back, once more to the gatea of Omaha, Mr. Joseph Gahm, who tfit many year labored here as pianist, teacher and composer, known and esteemed by a large circle of niuaic-lovltuj friends and admirers. This waa Mr. Gahtn'g first "official" apfrance, as it were, since his return from Germany where he has been studying and listening to the great things In the realm of music for the past few years. The applause which greeted the various numbers on the program, and which was given with lavish hands at the very end of the last number, bore eloquent testimony to the fact that absence had not made hearts grow less fond, and that Mr. Gahm has still a warm place in the fnluds of his Omaha friends. ' Mr. Joseph Gahm la a player whom one might btxt describe as magnelio and romantic. Hla playing of the Gluck Urahnis Gavotte ,of the Richard Strauss "Traueinerel" and of the Chopin Mazurka waa worthy of special distinction. The entire program waa of unusual Interest In Its content, because of the collection of a number of beautiful compositions many of which were unfamiliar to the local audiences. Conspicuous among these waa Jhe last number "Carnival Scenes." by Conalantln Corpus, one of the moderns and the splendid picture painted In tone by Paul Juon, one of the most successful com posers of the modern Russian school. Mr. Gahm contributed two most attrac tive numbers of his own composition and they showed much maturity by their in teresting contraputal weaving and Inter weaving. There waa not a dry measure in either and they were not only musioally, but thoroughly musical In spirit and la life. They -ere written by one who evidently knoas hnw, and on who feels and has something to express. Mr. Oahm waa greatly pleased at the warmth of his reception and he confessed to a nervousness quite unususl with him, on account of appearing before an eaact lng audience whhh would naturally expect much. He will shortly plsy a program ef his own comi osttlens and it will be linked forward to with eagerness. K. Turner Lets Slip Some Words "Sorry I Spilled Gaioline," He Sayi When the Fire Breaks Out. Witnesses for the state against Dr. Dun can Turner declared Friday morning in district court that following the fire they found an oil can nearly empty In the de fendant' room. The can had contained gasoline or kerosene. Previous to the fire Mrs. Elisabeth Cbok, in whose house Turner was rooming, had smelt gasoline through the upper floor. When she met Turner after the fire had been discovered he said: "I'm sorry I did this." "Did what?" Inquired Mrs. Cook. "Spilled gasoline," declared the man now under trial for arson.
