To all intents and purposes the
high school has been running very
smoothly during the past week. A
great crisis. however. has just been
passed over by members OF the stu
dent body. one OF which some Of
them are still thinking. or at least
have cause TO think about. This
particular situation xas brought
about by the passing out OF the

Chancellor Of Exchequer's Bud.
get Calls for Big Tax.

London, Sept. 22.--Reginald McKen-
ma, chancellor of the exchequer, in his
budget speech estimated that the gov
ernments revenue for the current
year would be e272, 100000 ($1,360.-
0OO,0O0), that the expenditures would
reach G1,59O,000,000 ($7,950,000, ,00O), 1,
and that the dead weight at the close
of the financial year would be G2,2OO,-
100000 ($11 ,000,0 0,000,O00).
Mr.. McKenna proposed an addition
of 40 per cent to the existing income
tax and the tayation of all incomes Of
9130 ($650) Or more. The present
minimum is G160. Fifty per cent OF
all war profits above the amount as
sessed for the income tax last year
will be subjected to special tax,
which works out at 60 per cent of the
profits. Mr.. McKenna estimated the
revenue from this source in full
year at G30,0O0,O00 ($15O,000, 10000.
Another source of revenue is to be
an increase in postal rates, which is
expected to bring in 94,975,000 ($24,.
S75,00O). A tax of 33 1-3 per cent ad
valorem on all imported motor cars,
bicycles, moving picture films, clocks,
watches, musical instruments, plate
glass and hats, also was put forward
by the chancellor.

One Of the very best methods for
gathering the seed is to go into the
best and earliest planted fields with
bags and select well matured ears
from the most vigorous stalks. The
cut shows a convenient way to ar
range sack so that you may have
both hands free for picking.
You must not fail to consider the
stalk in selecting your seed, for it
takes large, thrifty stalks to produce
good big ears. 1t is not good plan
to take the ear from a stalk that
grew in a hill by itsel'. or from one
in the hill with a barren or veal
stalk. Many of the kernels on such
an ear are likely to be pollenized by
the barren or weak stalk.
Choose Ears of a Medium Height
If you select the highest ears your
corn will gradually become late, and
if you select the lowest ears you will
soon have an early corn with shallow

Fig. 1. Harvesting the Seed Corn
for Next Years Planting.-Every ear
of corn intended for planting should
be harvested before the severe fall
freezes, and stored where 1t will dry
out and keep dry. In Iowa and the
northern half Of Illinois this work
should be done the last ten days Of
September and the first four or five
days Of October. Frozen seed corn costs
the country millions of dollars every
year.
A Convenient Method of Gathering
the Seed as One Passes Between the
Rows.-Use an ordinary two-bushel
grain sack; a wooden hoop from a
nail keg is put in the top of the sack
Some heavy cord, ii inches long
(binding twine doubled several times)
is tied to one Of the bottom corners
OF the sack; the other end Of the cord
Is then brought over the shoulder
and tied to the hoop in the top of the
sack. The cord is wrapped with an
old sack to prevent the string cutting
the shoulder.

Putting in the First Ear.-A piece of
binding twine is doubled and the ends
tied together. Note how the string is
held in the hands.

CAMELS ARE LOST ON
DESERT OF MICHIGAN
FraternaI Orders Organizer Ar.
rested Following Probe.

Houghton, Mich, Sept. 22.-Four
hundred members of Houghton Tent,
Camels of the World, are in a quar-
dary. Investigation by state officials
into the methods of w. r. Hampden,
organizer for the national organization
of Camels, has left them up in the air
and Hampden's arrest on a charge of
soliciting for an insurance society not
organized to do business in the state
leaves the local ships of the desert
wondering whether their Insurance is
valid.
Hampden collected about S2,400 in
initiation fees from the 400 fiedging
Camels and since then they have been
paying dues estimated at about $1,000
in all.
Members of the local tent said
Hampden's arrest was due to over
enthusiasm on his part. He is said
to have represented that Camel pol
icy is worth $3.50 at the ouset, while
they discovered it was not worth this
amount on its face until two years
have passed.
One of the members died and his
widow held a double policy. Instead
Of getting $500, she received $500,
and other members of the tent start
ed an investigation which led to
Hampden's arrest on the other charge.

kernels and wide burrows between the
rows.
Pick ears that droop over so that
their tips are turned downward Such
ears shed water better when it rains
and are usually drier than ears stand
ing upright. The shank should be
short, as ears with long shanks are
harder to husk, and are more often
damaged. See that the husks are long
enough to cover the tip of the ear,
but do not extend far beyond. If the
tip is left bare, it is likely to be dam
aged by insects or disease, and IL the
husks extend far beyond the point of
the ear they are usually tightly closed,
SO that it cannot dry out well and is
difficult to husk.
There should be medium growth
of broad, thrifty leaves distributed
evenly over the stalk, and the plant
should be free from all form of dis
ease, such as smut, rust, etc., and
should be free from suckers.
The advantages of this method Of
storing are first, that it gives better
protection from mice than when it
is spread on the floor, or corded in
piles or put in racks. Second, It gives
better circulation of air, which al
lows the corn to dry out quickly and
thoroughly. thus protecting it from
molding or sprouting and from being
frozen while 1t is sappy. The greatest
enemy to good seed corn in freezing
while 1t sti,l contains moisture, con-
sequently there is more danger from
late harvesting than from too early
harvesting. However, 1t is not good
plan to harvest seed while the corn is
immature, as it is more difficult to
preserve. will be chaffy and give weak.
er plants than corn which has been
allowed to fully mature on the stalk.

Up Where It Will Dry Out and
Keep Dry.-When the Last Ear
is laid in, one end of the string
is slipped under the string in the
other hand, and fastened.
Tie and hang up the seed the same
day OF evening that it is brought in.
This method of tying up allows a free
circulation Of air. 1t is circulation Of
air, not heat, that is needed to dry
out the seed. Corn commonly contains
at this time from 80 to As per cent of
water. It requires but few minutes
to tie up 300 or 400 ears.

attic or some upstairs room where
the windows can be opened to give
