It Will Pay To Try

1t would really be a good thing
all round If father should get a
little excited about this Acre Corn
Contest. The first prize is a free
trip to the Panama Exposition. The
real benefit, however, is not so
much in winning the premium as
in making a good hard try" at
winning it. We feel that every boy
entering the contest should have
some reward, simply for the fact
of entering and keeping up the
work as prescribed. This is why
we figured out the 10 per cent dis
count proposition. You do not have
to win in order to save this money
on Silo for the home farm. Ev-
cry boy in the game is entitled TO
the cash benefit as explained
above. The final benefits from year
to year are in fact to the whole
family. A Silo such as we build
means a new era of prosperity on
the farm. ~

What The Russians
Did Moi Destroy at KOWno

saw today Forts l, II, III and Bat
terry w. Everywhere the finest guns
were in position with not even the
locks destroyed. Most of them were
oiled and ready fof instant use.
Il is true that the German 40 en-.
guns smashed some strategic posi-
tions. In fort II one 40 en-. shell
drilled hole 40 or so feet into the
ground and exploded, destroying the
only important communicating under
ground passage between the batteries.
From the mute evidence of old torn
boots, rifles, hats and coats there
about it must have killed and buried
alive more than q hundred men.
/ can easily understand why this
may have caused a panic among the
officers and men, but I cannot under
stand why a fortified city should be
abandoned when less than 80 per cent.
of the fortifications were fired at.
Battery 4, which commands the
main. double track railroad, which
the advancing Germans used. was not
damaged A captured Russian under
officer said today that lot a German
she'll was fired at this battery.
When the Russians retreated they
did it so suddenly that these cannon
were not even used to destroy the rail-
road line. This lack of action was
valuable to the incoming Germans,
enabling them to make speedy pro-
gress.
BY two Russians / am told that the
reason the advancing Germans cap
ture so many Russians is that the Of
ficers receive word TO retreat and in
stead of taking their armies with
them, they load their valuables and
their mistresses in their autos and
hurry away.
An under-ofiicer left in command of
Battery 4 when the officers fled, told
me today in the penitentiary where
he is imprisoned that when he saw the
higher officers leave and wa1 instruct
ed to break the locks in the cannon.
neither he nor h s men would do Il.
Such is the story of Kowno, German
officers declare it is not an exception
