Seed CORN
IOWA FARMERS URGED TO MAKE
SELECTIONS FROM CRIBS. f,

Ames, la. Aug. Iowa corn
growers are advised to search their
corn cribs now for the best seed ears
that can be found there. The advice
is given by the farm crops authorities
at Iowa State college. They do not
commend the selection of seed in this
way under normal conditions, but
this year is abnormal. There is Sc
rious danger that the growing crop
of corn will not furnish good seed
ears for next springs planting, so Sc
lection OF good seed ears from the
sS14 crop is recommended as a sort
OF seed insurance for 1916.
ITO make sure of good seed" says
Prof. II. ID. Hughes of the college, lit
would be we'll to go to the cribs now
and pick out 100 or SO good ears and
test them for termination by taking a
number of kernels from each ear and
planting them in moist soil or sand.
Ii the seed shows good, strong germi-
nation. enough of the best ears may
be put away and tested again later.
Repeated test have shown that
seed corn picked in the field in the
fall before heavy frost gives the best
yield. If seed with termination can
be secured in that way, of course the
corn picked from the crib Is to be
discarded. But to make sure the best
seed ears should be picked from the
crib. They are quite uniformly good
in termination"

WOMEN CAPTURE SNAKE
Rather Is Taken After Young Women
Have Thrilling Experience.

Spearfsh, Aug. Some Spearfish
society women, while taking a cross
country hike some miles from town,
had a thrilling adventure with a rat
tlesnake which after some efforts
they succeeded in capturing alive.
They intended to present 1t to Prof.
Humbert of the state school of mines,
who has long wanted to secure a live
rattlesnake. During the excitement
attendant upon placing the reptile in
a small crate for shipment to Rapid
City one of the women accidentally
stepped on the snake and killed it.
How she escaped being struck by the
fangs of the snake is a mystery.

UNITED STATES HAS SECRET
FORMULA FOR DEADLY SHELL
Being Manufactured In Government
Arsenals and Kept a Secret.

What is described as the deadliest
SHELF yet invented is said to have been
developed by ordnance experts of the
United States army. 1t is designed to
meet conditions which have arisen In
the European war by the destruction OF
hostile trenches and gun shelters.
The general staff OF the army" a
high ranking officer is quoted as say
Ing, rs thoroughly conversant with
developments In military science as
shown by the work Of the various ar
mics In the European war. Our OBJ
servers abroad have been particularly
observant Of the effects of various ex-
plosives. Knowing the intensity of the
explosives used abroad, particularly
the melinite shells of the Germans,
they are In a position to make compari-
sons with the explosive which the ord
nance experts OF the United States
army recently have perfected.
'Of course the formula is a secret.
which 1t will be unnecessary to dis
close before an actual emergency
causes 1t to be turned yer to private
manufacturers to be used for the army.
AT present the explosive Is being man
ufactured only In the United States ar
senals, where the formula is most care
fully guarded.
1.-THE trench warfare abroad is a de-
velopment Of that form OF operations
which was wholly unlocked for. In no
previous wal have intrenchments play
ed so important a part or been so elab-
orately constructed. More than any
thing else this has called for the use OF
a high explosive shell, a shell that not
only Will destroy any unprotected
force, but will destroy a protection.
Shrapnel win not do this, but the high
explosive shell demolishes trenches and
everything they contain"

Paul SCHNEIDER, who claims to be
one Of those very few and highly ia

at the kaiser's headquarters since the
beginning OF the war, has just written

he makes bis famous and frequent
rushes from one front to the other, con

ten carriages constructed on modern

war this special train was painted a
whitish blue color, so that troops and
civilians were always able to recognize
and cheer the emperor as he passed,
but fear that hostile aviators might
find the task OF dropping bombs there
on made easier for them If they be-
came aware OF that fact has resulted
In a periodical repainting of the train
In various colors.
Safety Of Kaiser Guaranteed.
The necessity for this precaution,"
adds Herr SCHNEIDER, will be obvious
when l mention that a train purposely

after leaving the Frankfort railway
station"
The safety OF the emperor in the field
is guaranteed. he says, by his personal
adjutants and by a large number OF
secret police. known as secret field po-
lice, specially selected for their duties
from all parts OF Germany. These
men keep the kaiser under the closest
observation. both in the field and at the
headquarters of the general staff. to

his movements and that no dynamiters

ton usually ornamented with a large
cross. This garment has been greatly
altered during the centuries of its
history. 1t was originally large
cloak or mantle, with an opening for
the head in the center, and had to be
raised at the sides to allow the hands
to be extended. The assistants at the
Mass were obliged to help the priest
by holding up the sides of the mantle,
and a trace of this practice may be
noticed still in solemn Masses where
the deacon and sub.deacon hold the
edges of the priests chasuble, al
though there is no longer any need Of
their assistance. The inconvenient
form of the chasuble caused it to be
gradually shortened and cut away at
the sides, until it assumed its present
shape. Occasionally, in some
churches, chasubles of so-called goth
ic" form may be seen, in which the
upper parts of the arms are partly
covered by the vestment.-Rev. J. F.

The stole is said, by some, to have
been the court uniform of Roman
judges, and to have been adopted by
the Church to denote the authority
of her ministers. The prayer that is
said when 1t is put on before Mass
is as follows: Return to me, O
Lord, the stole of immortality which
l lost in the fall of my first parent;
and although 1 unworthily approach
Thy holy Mystery, may I merit, never
theless, everlasting JOY" Therefore it
symbolizes immortality; and it is also
looked upon as figure of the yoke of
obedience under which the priest lives
and labors.

The most conspicuous part of the
costume of the priest at Mass is the

IRISH FAITH.


We heard story the other day Of
an old Irish woman-she was eighty
years Of age-a story full Of faith
and pathos. This good old woman
lived five or six miles away from the
church-now in Monmouth county.
But distance nor the weight Of years
deferred her from going to Mass on
Sunday morning. She carried with
her little stool and when she grew
tired with the walking she rested for
while on her tiny stool before she
resumed her Journey. It took her q
long while to reach the church and
there was many q spell of rest; but
what comfort and consolation for
the aged saint when she knelt before
the Eucharistic God Whom she loved
30 much! What q lesson for the
young and strong who live within a
few blocks Of the church! What q

strong enough to move mountains ~
It moved miles! May We be worthy Of
