porting the managers of the Corn 
Show to be held in Springfield No- 
vember 7th, 8th and 9th, in a way 
and with an enthusiasm which ar-

the big State Armory at Springfield,

for the show, will be taken.

more than $3,000, so divided that ev- 
ery part of the state will be repre- 
sented on the list of winners. 
Special attention has been given the 
boys and girls in the prize list, and 
there is promise of a heavy junior 
entry list. 
Premium lists and detailed in- 
formation may be obtained of the 
Secretary, Prof. W. D. Hurd, Am- 
herst, Mass.

A Prayer. 
Not more of light, I ask, O God, 
But eyes to see what is; 
Not sweeter songs, but power to hear 
The present melodies. 
Not greater strength, but how to use 
The power that I possess; 
Not more of love, but skill to turn 
A frown to a caress. 
Not more of joy, but power to feel 
Its kindling presence near; 
To give to others all I have 
Of courage and of cheer. 
If That Were Enough. 
To thrill with the joy of girded men, 
To go on forever and fail and go on 
again, 
To be mauled to the earth and arise, 
And contend for the shade of a word and 
a thing not seen with the eyes: 
With the half of a broken hope for a 
pillow at night, 
That somehow the right is the right 
And the smooth shall bloom from _ the 
rough: 
Lord, if that were enough! 
—Robert Louis Stevenson.

ALMY’S ALTERATION SALE 
Preparatory to the wonderful improvements we are undergoing,—the moving, and re-locating of 
practically ‘every main floor department in this big growing store—the result of the recently acquired 
three story building adjoining—we are forced to reduce all stocks to the minimum point. 
New goods are waiting for display—our stock rooms are overflowing—yet on every hand there is a 
surplus of the most desirable merchandise for the home and dress which we have no room for in the midst 
of the extensive alterations and improvements this store is undergoing. 
Monday, at 9.00 o’clock, we open our doors to this 
GREAT BARGAIN EVENT 
THE MOST DESIRABLE MERCHANDISE WILL BE OFFERED AT PRACTICALLY COST PRICES. 
Make your plans now to attend.
