'I Gee. thi makes me homesick!" so
yllluquiied a bewhlskered little man
yesterday he S"61 ,nto the 'tn"
'"Iowa of the new Falling- building at
. Klfth and Alder atreeta. where the O.
. -v. R. It X. Company's corn show la In
' progress.
"Where are you fromT" asked a spry
young' man wearing- a Grand Army
button, as he led the stranger Inside.
'2 -Nebraska."
T, "Well. air. we'll ehow you that re-
fcraska. Isn't In It when It cornea to
': raising corn."
I This man was only one of the thou
'"tsands who -visited the corn show yes
?. terday. Nearly all. like him. came as
iourters and went away confirmed In
t.the belief that the Northwest poten-t-
tially is the premier corn section of the
' United States.
Corn In the shock, corn on the ears,
.i eorn in the sack, corn in the silo and
. corn meal all the products of Oregon.
- Washington and Idaho were spread
; out in convincing profusion.
"I always thought they couldn't
J'srrow corn In Oregon," said a mature
t." business man. "At least that's what
they always told me. The nights are
'i too cold, the seasons are too short and
'- the corn doesn't have time to mature,
t" I thought."
Answer Is "Aecliasated Seed."
"Acclimated seed." Thafa the an
I iver that C. L. Smith, the corn apostle
of the O. W. It. & N. Company, gives
i to all such inquiries.
-But why didn't they think of that
"before that acclimated seed. I mean?"
;: "Well, that's what I often wondered,"
f Mr. Smith says. "The trouble with
people In Oregon has been that they
. have followed too closely the footsteps
of their forefathers. If their ancestors
i- didn't raise corn they didn't raise any."
: All the corn displayed was produced
from acclimated seed from corn that
- had been grown In the Northwest for
four or more years. The company dis
tributed the seed free to farmers, who
never had grown corn before. The
,: show Is a partial result. But the most
- valuable result is the assurance from
"the farmers that they will continue to
prow corn, using the seed from their
own crop each year.
f It Ina't ArtlBtlr.
"It doesn't look very artistic," said
a woman.
:: "No, It Isn't." confessed Smith. "It's
'Just corn, and It makea good fat hogs."
j On account of the close relationship
F tbat corn production bears to the live
1 stock Industry many breeders who have
been exhibiting at the show at the
' stockyards have attended the show. The
. livestock men were twnonir the first to
: see the future possibilities in corn cul
? ture. The most successful ones have
been growing- It consistently for sev
eral years.
P. W. Cox, who has been growing
.'corn on his ranch In Whitman County.
? Wash., for the last 15 years, was a
visitor yesterday. He lias had most
r success, he reported, with the Minne-
, sot a King variety. On a place where
. critics used 'to say, "corn will never
grow." his yield per acre always av
erages about 30 bushels, which is bet
;.: ter than the average for the United
States as a whole or for Iowa, which
1 la reputed to be a corn state.
Sample corn was exhibited from the
; crops of Fred S. Irwin and Basil Sut-jL-
ton. who won the two-horse cultiva
tors offered by the Rumely Products
: Company for the best single acre of
; . corn produced by a boy less than 16
years old.
;." Young Irwin's acre produced 85
bushels. He plowed under the field that
r had been producing alfalfa and used
- seed with four years of acclimatization.
; The show will continue today and to
morrow. Admission Is free.

Tacoma Appropriates $10,000 to Be
Spent for Vnemployed.
TACOMA. Dec. 11. (Special.) The
City Commission today appropriated
1 10.000 to provide food, clothing and
shelter for the unemployed this Win
ter. In order that only the deserving
will be rewarded and that the city will
receive some return for the money, the
C'oiim-ll placed the matter in the hands
of Commissioner of Public Safety Mills.
Ie is the Intention of the Council
to have unemployed men work for their
'"keep." No more than 11 a day will
be paid for labor. One suggested plan
-provides for the distribution of 124
cent tickets among the men for every
bour they work. A day's work will
constitute eight hours. Married men
will receive preference over single men.
The unemployed will be put on grading-
Jobs and In general cleaning-up

Members of Progressive Business
Men's Club Asked to Contribute
.$1 Each Joint Bar Pro
gramme Arranged.
In a talk to the members of the
Progressive Business Men's Club at
their weekly luncheon at the Multno
mah Hotel yesterday. C. V. Cooper crit
icised President Wilson for having
failed, when he sent John Llnd to Mex
ico tn n-lve him adequate credentials.
Mr. Cooper, wno Is connected, viUh
large business Interests In Mex'lco. said ,
that on receipt or a warning teiegram
from Secretary of State Bryan 13
AmnrU-an men and women from two
American colonies In Sonora left Mexico
and were taken on the steamer uuiora
to San Diego, CaL The telegram said:
"Tell them to get out In 24 hours
and leave everything."
Of course, everyone thought that the
United States was about to begin an
armed Intervention, said Mr. Cooper,
but those who stayed were never both
ered by the armies of either side.
Occasionally a body of soldiers of
one army or the other would com
mandeer their hay, but It was always
paid for in Mexican paper money, the
value of which is believed to be about
on & par with Confederate currency.
Still It was all the money the Mexicans
had, and they were honest as far as
they could be.
The establishment of a recreation or
reading-room for the many men who
had no shelter but the saloons was
urged by Owen Summer. He suggest
ed that each of the 250 odd members
of the club subscribe 81 toward the
project.
Mayor Albee said that the proposi
tion was "very near to his heart." He
said there were only two places where
men of that class could get out -of the
cold. One was bed. the other the sa
loon. What these men ought to have
was a place where they could go to
smoke and read. Tossibly In course
of time a moving-picture show might
be added to entertain them. Above all.
such a home should be non-sectarian.
With a nucleus of 8200 a month the
Mayor thought tbat a good start might
be made.
"You help and I'll help," concluded
the Mayor.
"Many of us might be In the same
plight but for the grace of Uod." Judge
Stevenson spoke briefly on the subject.
Next Tuesday night in the Fountain
Grill of the Oregon Hotel the Progres
sive Business Men's Club will unite
with the Multnomah Bar Association.
A good programme Is being arranged,
which includes short talks from a few
of the most able lawyers in the city,
strongest business men and one short
talk from a prominent labor repre
sentative and some musical numbers.
It is exDected that the net result of
this novel gathering will be a better
understanding of the relative spheres
of lawyer, business man and laborer.
Invitations have been sent to most of
the state, county and city officials, as
well as Supreme Judges of the state,
all of the Circuit and District Judges
of this county, heads of the local la
bor organizations, and more than 500
business men and lawyers. The badges
prepared for each guest will signify
at a glance the name of the wearer
and the firm to which be is attached,
and by the color Indicate whether he
Is lawyer or a business man. The event
will be informal.
