ond-class matter.
subscribers nro earnestly re?
quested to observe tho tlnto
printed on their address slips,
which will koep theui nt nil
times postod ns to tho dato
of the expiration of their sub?
scription. Prompt and timely
attention to this request will
save all parties a great deal of
annoyance.
The Wliimsicall Thug.
Retween one and two million
Kreuch soldiers have boon kill?
ed during the war, ami over
nine hundred thousand of the
British;
And as evacuation proceeds
on the edge of Flanders the
Germans enter the houses of
villagers and destroy the intri?
cate mechanism of the luce
making mnchiua which yield
them a livelihood,
The Potsdam maniac is debit?
ed with both the foregoing items
in his account. The former
looks the more portentous, but
there is a special significance in
the luttor. As a contribution
to war activity lace ranks at
zero. The villagers who made
it will probably be employed in
munition shops at present, and.
if anything, the allied cause
will gain a little thereby. But
only a little. Economically,the
whole incident i- unimportant.
And therein lies its real Im?
portance. I lost ruction is by
this lime an instinct with the
Prussian command, to com
maud, to be practised even
when no military advantage
ncci in-:-. It is done mechanical?
ly? a 1 m o s t unconsciously.
These wantoll cruellies cause
grief to the owners of the ma.
chines, but no detriment to the
allied armies.
The sheer clumsiness of these
acte of malice enable us to see
a little futher into the enemy's
character, but only a little fur
tfior than, we have already seen
Now that talk of a peace con
feronce is in the air it is fort tin
ate thai we are familiar witii
the intimate peculiarities that
characterize those who seek re?
conciliation with us. We are
less likely to uccepl promises
without guarantees
The election for senator and
congressman will be held next
Tuesday, the fifth of November.
There will only be two names
on tin- ticket. For Bonetor
Thomas s. Martin and for re
presenttitive 0. Bascoin Klomp.
So fui as we have heard any
expression from both democrats
und republicans the ticket will
be voted solid without change,
recognizing the meti who have
sbod squarely by the president
in the projection of the war.
The people who love to pay
over $12,00 for their shoes will
have that privileg until after the
first of next dune. They bud
better take tin- advantage of
their opportunity.
And now sutlragists are pick
eiing the Senate. President
Wilson doubtless offers the sen?
ators his heartfelt condolences.
The destiny of Germany is
either one thing or the other.
She will certainly be in peace
or in p'eces soon.
Tho saying "few die and none
resign" does not apply in lief,
many. Many are living at the
front and resignation seems to
be the favorite occupation, in
iu official circles.

Public meetings will be called is so ?11 as the Han is removed, and in the meantime I urge
Red Cross members and workers to use their utmost endeavor to lay the foundation, not on?
ly for a successful Christmas Roll Call, but a very successful re organization largely increas?
ing our membership.

Seed Corn For
1919
Hlncksmirgs, Vd., ??ct. 20.
(VII farmers interested in plant?
ing good Boed oorii m xt year
will remember the critical situ
ation as to good Bced corn last
spring.
Owing to tin- large ucrdgo of
corn that has been frost bitten
:his fall, there will undoubted:
ly be a large amount of soft ami
immattire eorn cribbed with the
Bound grain ibis winter. This
makes it absolutely necessary
that farmers should save out
their host seed corn when shuck
big and store it where it will
dr> out well before freezing
weather.
If eorn that is not well dried
out is exposed to freezing tein |
perutures, the germ is damaged
very greatly and if planted will
result in a poor stand.
There are several good meth?
ods of storing seed corn, such
as the seed corn tacks, the wire
and I he twisted siring methods
(Any or all of these methods
will he explained in detail on
nppication to the Agronomist of
the (extension Division).
Tbc main point in curing seed
corn is to arrange the individ?
ual oars in such a way that the
air will have free circulation
about them.
The beet place to select seed
corn is from the standing stalk,
but that chance has gone for
this year, so the next best op?
portunity is at shucking time
Don't fail to do tli.is it will
save you time and lnhor next
spring.
