At the four district faira there were fifty-one bushel samples of corn ex­ hibited. At the big corn and canning club fair at Woodstock, Nov. 7, there were 700 cans of fruit and 4000 ears of com on exhibition and each exhib­ itor of corn donated twenty ears of seed com for the boys and girls to use as seed com in the club work next yean Mr. Holben, secretary Illinois Com Growers' association, judged all com at all the fairs and Miss Anna Seger, of the University of Illinois, judged the canned fruit and vegetables.

THIS IS Y.B.C.A. WEEK (Continued from flfst page) their sight and at their command at a time when the boys need encourage­ ment, rest, Warmth and a feeling that the folks at home are backing them. The Plaindealer believes that every man, woman and child, who possibly can, will lend their assistance to this worthy cause. Everyone, we are sure, will do their mite, and when the solicitors call at the homes in this township they will be greeted with open arms and be given credit for a noble work. Our boys in the trenches are not to blame for this war. They are not there for their own sake, but for the protection of you and I that we may continue to enjoy the liber­ ties that our forefathers fought for and gave us so long ago. %We have previously stated that we cannot all go to the fighting lines, but we can all, each and everyone of us, do our bit in some manner or other, and at this time let us show the boys that we are backing them with our contri­ butions to the Y. M. C. A. Rev. M. J. McEvoy also gave a short address, in which he made it clear that he was backing the Y. M. C. A. movement as well as that of the Knights of Columbus, which soci­ ety is also looking after the welfare of the boys in service. Rev. McEvoy read a letter in which was stated that the Knights of Columbus will start a money raising campaign immediately at the close of the Y. M. C. A. drive and he expressed his hope that this drive would prove as successful as that of the Y. M. C. A. He encour­ aged the people to give to both causes and the Catholics, if they weren't able to give to both, to give to the Knights of Columbus. Prom the spirit -that was manifested at the meeting we be­ lieve that the protestants and Catho­ lics will work hand and hand along these truly Christian lines. Auction Sale! F. O.

Some of the girls are now at work knitting up yams for the same pur­ pose, while more are busy at stitch­ ing samples of suit cloth, which were solicited and joined togethei for robes.
