KORN KARNIVAL j IS A SUCCESS Corn, and standing next to him on one side was the silo ‘‘his palace” and on the other was the cow “ his subject.” PuPULAR VOTE IS FOR WILSON ERNEST LISTER corn exhibits in the Coquille district: The Lights Go Out; but the Play Goes On Saturday night closed Coquilie’s sec ond annual corn show which was a very successful affair, although the general impression seems to be that it did, in a degree, lack the ‘‘pep” which was so noticeable a year ago. Some of the reasons that are given are the weather which, while it was beautiful, was not the traditional corn show weather, and was a strong temptation for the farmer to stay home and work, and the cold nights which seem more disagreeable than the warm rain. Saturday night was the climax of the entire show and owing to an unfortunate accident at the light plant the town was left in darkness for two hours when the ac tivities were at their height. The Coosonians and the band turned out at 8:.'I0 Friday morning and marched to the train to meet the Koos Kounty Knights of the Grip, who came over from the Bay about thirty strong. The marchers waited at the end of the pave ment on Front street. When the knights came around the end of the de pot they were hooded and gowned in white, with the letters K. K. K. in pur ple across the front of their gowns. F'alling in behind the Coosonians they were escorted to the exhibit hall. Re turning to the intersection of Taylor and First streets the Coosonians put on a short urill and then disbanded, and from then on the stunts of the day were in charge of the Knights. In a remarkably short time they had decorated the windows of the business part of town with humerous signs, from which none escaped. Considerable in genuity was shown in the placing of some of the signs and those who were acquainted with the condition of affairs found them quite amusing. __ The afternoon was given over to street sports, which true to the tradi tion were all new and novel. In the evening a band concert was given and the Coosonians again got into action. The high school also put on a stunt in the form of a serpentine march in honor of the football game which was played the following afternoon. About sixty football enthusiasts took part in the ral ly and made a splendid showing. The free presentation of Peleg and Peter proved very popular and the Mas onic hall was crowded to the doors. Pre- feren ce had been given in the reserva tion of seats and the seats on the first floor were filled with out of town vis itors, while the balcony and standing room were packed with local people who had not seen the play when it was pre sented here before, or who wished to see it again. Between the first and second acts the K. K. K.’s took pos session of the stage and rendered a humorous German song which made a decided hit. This was followed by a violin solo by A. Daniels which ulso re ceived hearty applause. The daylight hours of Saturday were spent in much the same manner as were those of Friday; but the crowd was larger and the sports were more numerous and exciting. In the after noon the football game between Marsh field and Coquille attracted a good part of the people who were in town and was perhaps the most exciting event of the day. The game resulted in a score of 3 to 0 in favor of the visiting team. The W. O. W. hall was packed to overflowing for the big get together basket dinner. Music was furnished during the course of the dinner by the Daniels’ orchestra and a number of songs were sung by the high school girls glee club. In spite of the lights being out the husking bee was held at the Masonic hall as scheduled and waa followed by a barn dance. Lamps were provided to furnish light until the electricity was turned on about 10 o’clock. Upon the information that the power company would have to turn off the lights again at one o’clock the dance broke up soon er than it otherwise would. The lecture by Prof. Larsen, which was scheduled for Friday morning was called off when the audience failed to materialize; but Saturday he spoke to a fairly large house. Among the booths at the exhibit hall which attracted the most attention was that of the Oerding Bros, showing an attractive display of myrtle wood, the corn exhibit and the exhibit of the city schools. All of the booths were at tractive and much favorable comment was heard regarding them. The corn exhibit, occupying the cen ter of the hall, consisted of a display of the prizewinning corn and ensilage from the three districts of the county. Mounted in the center of this was King ok C o r n E n sil a g e A c re . on ' receiv ed iu each of th e s ta te s by P re s id e n t W ilson and C h a rle s E.

In addition to this the application of through rates on certain commodities to points on our lines south of Portland has also been ex tended to include Coos Bay line points. Took Out Beef Cattle Will White was in town the latter part of last week returning to Wedder- burn from taking two car loads of beet cattle to the Portland market for the Wedderburn Trading Company. The cattle he drove out are said tone among the fattest to arrive at the stock yards this summer, and brought a little better than 6|c per lb. on foot. Some of the steers weighed as much as 1300 lbs. In last week's issue we copied an early days item showing where some Curry county ranchers had driven their cattle to Roseburg and sold them there for 2c on foot which shows that the price of beef cattle at the present time is more than three times greater than it was 23 years ago.—Port Orford Tribune. If the statement of that former Aus trian consul is true that German and Austrian agents have spent since the beginning of the war from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 in this country on their spy system, somebody over there is getting terribly buncoed. —Wall Street , Journal.

THE ELECTORAL most dramatic situation in the politi cal history of the United States was broken when California swung defin ltely into the democratic column fol lowed by New Mexico, New Hamp shire and North Dakota, thus insur ing the re-election of President Wil son and Vice President Marshall. The result In Minnesota, the other doubt ful state, lndicateu a very small ma jority for Hughes. The controlling factor in Minnesota was the vote of the 2138 National guardsmen now on the Mexican border, and the official count by the state canvassing board will be necessary to definitely deter mine the result. In round figures, unofficial returns show Wilson s lead in California about 4000; in New Mexico, about 2300; in North Dakota, about 1500; In Minne sota, Hughes’ lead about 200, while In New Hampshire there is a margin of 63 for Wilson. West and South Elect Wilson. Mr. Wilson is the only president ever elected with the “solid east” against him. His victory was believed by politicians to presage an alignment for the first time in congress of the west with the south. It was pointed out that while he would not have "a working majority In the lower house, he would not have to combat a major ity inimical to his policies.” For the first time since Andrew Jackson, a democratic president has been re elected In succession to him self. For the first time a president has been elected without the vote of New York. For the first time Maine went republican In September and the country democratic in November.
