'#-*;-h'.The patrons of the rural schools will v be invited to attend the exercises and ; some practical and successful farmers •will be invited to address the school Sand its patrons. It is not possible to j . , ;j~r ; estimate the great value of the infor- l* V M.-, 1 mation on corn culture and other farm re8ultin8 from the exeTciseB on Corn day as outlined by State Superin­ tendent Blair. The farmers of the state are in hearty accord with Mr. Blair his efforts to have one day in the s*-,: i school year devoted to public exer­ cises that emphasise the great impor­ tance of agriculture, the leading indus­ try of the state. Much sound, solid sentiment in fa­ vor of better agricultural conditions has resulted from the exercises on Corn day in the rural schools and the farmers have not been slow in mani­ festing their high appreciation of the efforts of State Superintendent Blair l, in this direction. Through the month :• .. of October, the teachers of the state will supply pupils with material and direct them in the preparation of es- ; • says aad the selection of appropriate l&yK". - pieces on farm life. Farmers will ar- range to attend the Corn day exercises and add to the interest in the same by ' having their children exhibit ears of f "t corn and samples of whee-t, oats, fruit '• aad vegetables. Farmers and teachers i' who wish the very complete and in­ teresting announcement of Corn day In the public schools can secure the same by application to Hon. F. O. Blair, state superintendent of public instruction, in Springfield. |if«d»n Battle for Space at Fair. There has been a strenuous rivalry among heavy horse breeders for space in the spacious new |100,000 horse barn at the stote fair grounds. Super­ intendent Hiatt B. Taylor of Fairburf, in charge of this important depart- ment of the Illinois state fair, was in Springfield in consultation with Su­ perintendent James K. Hopkins of Princeton, In charge of the light horse department of the fair. Both gentle­ men were sanguine that this year would be a record-breaker in their do* part men ts. "But then," remarked Mr. Hopkins, With a smile, "every year Is a record* breaker in every department of the fair, so far as I can observe. It se^ma to me that the state fair has grown in late years by leaps and bounds." "We must have more land," sug­ gested Mr. Taylor, with emphasis. "There ought to be a rearrangement of buildings and lawns and the tent space. The fair is too confined for the crowds to see and hear. It must be spread 'out The race track will have tb be moved north and thus make room for needed buildings." "What are the prospects in your department this year?" "The new barn has wakened new Interest in many breeders of fine horses, and we have had more re- Quests for room this year from breed­ ers of the highest class horses than ever before," was the reply. "You see the dangers and discomforts and Inconveniences of the old wooden barns frightened many horsemen. They did not like to assumfTthe risks. Then, you know, the Illinois state felr is the climax of all the state fairs in the north and west The champions of all the other state fairs meet in Springfield and the battle for prizes here is something fierce. Space in the new barn is all taken and very little Is left In the old barns. will have a magnificent show year." We this Farmers' Congress Closes.

Washington, Sept 30.--The house of representatives received a petition Saturday in the form of charges de­ manding that impeachment proceed­ ings be instituted against Justice Wil­ lis Van Devanter, associate justice of the Supreme court of the United States. It was referred to the commit­ ted on judiciary. "The petitioner, D. T. Blodgett of Des Moines, bases his charges on the fact that Justice Van Devanter de­ clined' to grant a writ of habeas cor­ pus following Blodgett's conviction for forgery In the Iowa courts. Blodgett declares that he was twice placed in jeopardy on the same charge, having been acquitted of this charge in the county court of Polk county, Iowa, and later having been convicted In the Boone county courts. At this juncture In the proceedings Blodgett says Judge Van Deventer de­ nied him a writ of habeas corpus. It is charged that "the said Willis Van Devanter wilfully, maliciously and fraudulently pretended that it was his honest opinion that D. T. Blodgett was Imprisoned in accordance with the local or state laws" a^d "knew D. T. Blodgett was being deprived of his liberty in violation of the constitu­ tion and other laws of the state of Iowa.
