A CORN HUsKiEG BEE. !
Bert Ball, in h National Crop Improve


Bert Ball. in the National Crop Improve
ment Service.
Every township club should have q
corn husking bee not only on account
of It's value as q society event. but in
order that every member of the club
may become familiar with the type Of
corn selected, as the best grown corn
In that particular section. Before al
lowing any husking, be sure that each
person a thoroughly examined the
sample ear to be used as the type. Of
fer prizes for those who find the great
est number of ears true to this type.
In some localities where everybody
knows everybody else, the custom Of
the kiss for the red ear has been re-
Vived, but a kiss for every ear true to
type would be something worth while.
A rafting good talk on corn, music led
BY the glee club, in which everyone
Is to join, and a spread by the women
and girls of the club will make this
event very popular. The corn may b.
supplied by one farmer or q hundred
ears each from the members OF the
club Be sure, In establishing your
type, tina the al Is not too large to
mature In dry years.
1t is also a good plan to have a
| torn tying contest, either by the boys,
! or by a boy and girl team. Prizes

lie and hang 100 ears in the shortes,

CHAPTER yII-(cont,nued)

Since De Sartfnes had entered the
room that evening, her heart had be-
gun to relent toward h n. His broken
and anxious loo told her that she had
been avenged for the sights he had put
on her. De Lussac was free, she was

And now the situation mad been

have caused another man in his posi-

fact that he had been tricked and

would have made him in "a hours the

hate whether dancing of these dances
will be permitted in the east room after

Many persons believe that there Will
be no daEcinS at all after these recep.

question as to what dances are proper

But. so far as dancing during the new
