my fundamental ideas on dressmak-
ing to courses In millinery. the maxi

has to do with household manage

hobby Of mine for some time.
I believe every acado me school

no knowledge gained OF the princi-

taught.
As To Minimum Wage.
Much OF the agitation against
minimum wage laws hinges about
the problem OF improperly trained
help. The manufacturers are willing
to pay good salaries to employees
who are worth II. but they are un-
willing to give II to the girl who
doesn't know how to do n thing but
sew on buttons. perhaps. Suppose
girl comes to them with no bette (.
preparation that that of the gram
mar grades Of high school. With
out training she cannot make her
self useful to that company or that
manufacturing establishment. Tho
owners have not the time nor tho
inclination TO teach their employees
and without some additional quail
fcations than this ability to sew on
buttons since we're taking this as
an cxample-the employees are ac-
tually not worth the minimum wage
to their employers.

Dixie to Reclaim 1900 Acres

Pleasanton, Kan, Oct. 8.-Af-
ter spending two days inspecting
the several proposed high water
routes across the Marais DIES
Cygnes bottoms, State Engineer
Gearhart reported to the Pleas
anton Commercial Club the route
that he deemed best. 1t calls for
dixie that will reclaim 1900
acres Of fertile lands from over
flow and at the same time pro-
vide a dry road. The land own
ers are ready to begin at once to
organize and build the dixie.
There will be considerable grad
ing outside the dixie, but the peo-
pie here are enthusiastic over the
proposition and expect to raise
the funds and push the work.

Store Seed Corn Well

In storing seed corn, three
things should be kept in maind,
according to J. G. Hackleman Of
the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture. They are "a dry room or
building, ~ a fairly low, even
temperature without hard freez-
es, and 90 a well-ventilated
room from which moisture from
the sweating grain may easily
escape. Seed corn may be in
iured if stored. above sweating
grain from which it receives mois-
ture.
These essentials are. most per-
fectly secured by proper storage
in an attic, as careful tests have
shown that better results were
obtained from such storage than
from any other. Cellars in which
there are furnaces are excellent
others are likely to be too damp.
If it is impossible to use any OF
the house in this way, suitable
places can probably be found in
tool sheds or other farm build
ings.
A frame of 2x4's may be built
from two to six feet square and
strongly braced. If chicken net
ting is then stretched over both
sides in such way that the holes
match, the ears may be thrust
through and stored very cheaply.
They may be swung from the
roof in strings, held by baling
wire or binding Irvine, or may be
stuck on nails driven into an up
right AKA post from which the
corners have been trimmed 30 as
TO make room for eight rows Of
nails instead of only four. Mice
may be kept from this seed corn
tree by mailing tin around the
bottom just above the base or BY
inserting a hook in the top by
means Of which the tree with its
load may be hung with a wire
from the roof.
A study Of your own conditions
will perhaps show you better
methods than any Of these which
will meet the requirements Of
good storage.
