Save Seed Corn at Once From Last
Years Crops

Most of the corn through the en-
Is, 1915, at least a month behind
in it's growth. Tens of thousands of
acres of corn that should be in tas-
sci are only two Or three feet high.
With the rest of the season favor
able this corn will produce large
crops for feed. There is consider
able danger that the corn Will not
reach that full maturity which is
necessary for strong termination in
seed.
Every corn grower should at once
select sufficient seed fer next years
planting from corn raised in 1914.
Through a large part of the north
ern corn belt the corn raised in 1914
had unusually strong vitality in ger
many districts reporting the
highest vitality of any crop in the
past four years. 1t will therefore be
safe to select such corn at once and
put it in special storage to be used
if needed for seed in 1916.
Corn of the 1914 crop that has
been kept in seed rooms, Or that
has been protected from storms in
cribs where it has been held under
good ventilation, should be sorted
over and ears of the best type Sc
lected for seed This seed should
be hung up or be stored in racks.
The work can be done the first
rainy day when it is too wet for
field work. There will then be no
extra expense. The old corn so
selected may not be needed, but it's
selection insures strong seed for
next springs planting. To remove
any doubt about the termination Of
the corn, a test should be made.
A farmer who has choice bred
corn will find it profitable to select
100 or more bushels; it is likely to
bring a good price next spring.

ORIENT UNSETTLED OVER RELATIONS OF
 CHINA AND JAPAN
Japan's New Foreign Minis ter Voices Policy That
 Spreads Uneasiness.

Picking, Dec. 3-Recent utterances
 Of Baron Ishii, Japan's new Minister
 of Foreign Affairs, concerning the un- settled conditions in China and the re- ! peated statements of Japanese news | papers about the necessity for the
 preservation of peace in China have
 caused much uneasiness and appre- 1 hension in Picking. | Repeated rumor's that Japan has re-
 vived the demands made. under group l V. in it's ultimatum of May ', add l to the general unrest in China and af- 1 ford food for the campaign which is | being waged by opponents of the monarchial movement.
 In a recent article the ToIzio Daily Yamato, states that Baron Ishii will | have a far better defined foreign pol 1 icy than his predecessor and is ex- 1 pected to improve the foreign rela- | tions with Japan by some striking di- plomatic strokes!

 made to them in the newspapers ' printed in English. Under this group
 there are seven articles. The first
 provides that the Chinese government
 shall employ influential Japanese ad- visers in political, financial and rnili- tary affairs. Article two empowers
 Japanese hospitals, churches and
 schools to own land in the interior of China. Under the third article
 Japan seeks joint administration with the Chinese of the police department in important Chinese cities. The foucth article stipulates that China shall buy at least fifty per cent. of it's
 munitions of war from Japan, and shall employ Japanese technical ex- perts in an arsenal operated Jointly | in China by Chinese and Japanese. | The fifth article demands the right to l construct important railways in the 1 Yang-tse Valley. Article six stipu1ates

SEEK CHLOROFORMERS WITH DRESSMAKERS AS
 THEIR USUAL VICTIMS

Detective James B. Heffernan of stamford was in this city last night in search of two Italian speaking men and a, woman who are alleged to have ch1oroformed a dressmAker in her home at Stamford a few nights ago and then robbed her of $79O. Detec- tives Luke G. Petrusche11 and James A. Bray accompanied him on the 1n- vestigation.
 A peculiar coincidence is connected with the search for the trio- Early last spring a robbery of similar na- ture occurred in this city when a French dressmaker living on PeQuon- mock street was chloroformed while at work in her home and robbed of over $500. 1t is the belief of the police that the same trio performed the job in this city and they were never appre- hended.

ment be incomplete but it will seem that men alone are entitled to rights that belong equally to women. If our women do not understand the inn portance of this, it may be due to sheer ignorance; but if some of them understand, yet remain inactive and indifferent to the movement, they will be guilty of neglecting their duty to the country.
 we admit that the intelligence of the mass of our women is still at a very low standard, but they have the same interest in the country and have the same desire for the safety of their person and property as the men.
 'sWhy should we women remain passive without raising a hand to sup port the movement? Being women. we are of frai1 constitution and limit Iy concerned with the unsettled con ditions of the country and cannot but express our anxiety for its welfare. It is sincerely hoped that the two hundred million women of this coun- try will awaken to the importance of their duty and follow the lead of the patriotic men by petitioning the gov ernment for the restoration of a mon archy.''
 Vernacular papers contain reports of associations of women organizing in various Chinese, cities, and there are repeated efforts of the rival or ganizations to discount each other s strength Apparently there is little fear of libel in the Chinese papers, as communications are printed which make direct attacks on the personal character of women leaders.

teEs were outraged nor prove the con- tradictory proposition that Sisters were not outraged. Against this ne gative testimony Monsignor Kelly and myself have set and can now set af- fidavits1 declaring that Sisters were i'll treated And strange to say one of these affidavits was made in Vera Cruz by refugee Sisters, at a time when, as MT. Tumu1ey declares, the officers of the American army who were thrown into contact with these same Sisters, in Vera Cruz never heard of a single report of outrage having been committed'' Stranger still this affidavit. is signed by an of ficer of the American army Through the columns of America~I have of fered to furnish MT Tumu1ty the names of the six Sisters who testified, the names of the six witnesses and. the name of the notary. For pruden- of the army officer. have also of fered to send him a copy of aff1da- vit made by the PrioresS of a we'll known Carmelite monastery, who copVersed with Sisters who were out raged. All this testimony gives moral ted; MT. Tumu1ty's evidence leaves this certitude untouched. He gave one item of positive testim ony to the effect that Sisters were not outraged within the Archbishopric of Mexico City. But to what avail? Nobody said they were. Besides, the course of MT. Tumu1ty's evidence is vitiated.
 The second point under discussion concerns the treatment of priests The testimony eo of Canon xParedes, Vicar General of Mexico City. is adduced by MT. TumuIty.< In the first place, Monsignor> Paredes iss not a compe- tent witness. He is Carranzista holding office from Carranza, and by the sufferance of the Ordinary of Mexico City who confirmed the ap- pointment to prevent further scandal. Canon Paredes admits, that priests were murdered. but he puts the crim es on the Zapatistas, who, be it renem-
 bered, were once hand in hand with Carranza- Moreover, had Canon Pa redes been more impartial he could have furnished evidence of the brutal
 murder of Brothers, and of the re- voIting torture of priests in the North where Villa and Carranza were com panions. The torture of the priests
 was directed by Colonel Fiero of the Revolutionary army. Should MT. Humility desire it, I shall send him copies of af1davits made by the tor tured priests fR the presence of Bish- op Lynch of Dallas, Tex.
 A last point. that namely which concerns religious freedom. MT. Tu- ] n1ulty makes a great deal of Carran- za's promise. But what about the decree of Aguilar and the decree of
 To1uca which make religious freedom impossible Have they been recall ed? Worse yet, and this simply des- 'troys MT. Tumu1ty's whole position, | only recently General Alvarado, the
 military governor of Yucatan, issued | a violent manifesto against religion
 This document will be published in America for December 11th. Ava
 rado's decree and Carranza's promise look well side by side.
 Carranza is blowing cold and his
 agent, Alvarado is blowing hot and religion is suffering: confiscation of convents has been in progress in Yu- catan since Cafranza made his worth = l less promise. More might be said. strange facts might be laid bare but this is quite sufficient for the end in view.
