AS THE WORLDS BANKER.
(From the New York World


The British Chancellor of the Elk
chequer yesterday told the House OF
Commons that the mobilization OF
American securities was proceeding
with markedly satisfactory results"
Wall Street at the same time COM
plains of heavy foreign liquidation OF
standard American securities which
have been suffering a considerable
fall in price.
This does not necessarily mean
that the British Treasury officials arc
selling the securities modified in
their care. They may be holding on
to the stock and bonds in the pur-
pose later on Of using them as col
lateral for another large American
loan. But the mobilization scheme
has undoubtedly stimulated private
holders Of Americans to sell out on
their own initiative, and the high
prices lately prevalent in the New
York market have not operated to
stay this inclination.
Wall Street at the moment acts as
though it was tired of paying top
prices to foreigners for their Amerl-
can holdings. But the ability Of the
country to absorb all offerings with
out any particular disturbance is un-
questioned What has already been
done on this line since the war start
ed is beginning to be reckoned in
billions of dollars We were before
enormously in debt to the outside
world. At the present rate Of pay.
ment and lending to abroad we shall
not be long in making secure that
position of the worlds banker which

serve Board foresees for the Ma
ton.

TAXING EXPATRlATES.
(From the Minneapolis Journal.

Now, maybe, American girls, who
married European noblemen will wish
they hadn't and, hereafter, maybe
an American girl who owns a good
many American dollars, or whose ia
Their does, will look two or three
times at man with a coronet, be-
fore she decides to marry him. If
this happens, Senator Kenyon of Iowa
VIII be the cause of it.
He has introduced in the senate a
bill imposing a heavy graduated tax
on incomes of Americans living
abroad, that are derived from prop
erty in this country. The normal tax,
according to the provisions of Senator
Kenyon's bill, will be 3 per cent,
where it is now 1 per cent, on all
incomes up to $4,000, derived from
Investments in this country, whether
possessed by foreigners or by native
Americans. The maximum tax will
be nearly 80 per cent where it is 7
now.
Since the domicile Of the wife is
the domicile of her husband, every
American girl who marries a for
eigner becomes a citizen Of the coun-
try Of her husband. Hundreds of
American women in England, for in
stance, are paying enormous taxes
on their American incomes to help
carry the cost of the war. The in
come tax in England was never so
high as today.
Therefore, if Senator Kenyon's
bill becomes a law, and expatriat-
ed Americans, male and female,
have to pay an income tax in this
country of anywhere from to 80 per
cent, in addition to the income tax
at home, the incomes OF some titled
Americans may be dissipated in tax
es. It is estimated, for instance,
that Baron Astor Of Hevre Castle will
pay in this country alone, something
like five million dollars annually.
Senator Kenyon is the boy. For
years we've been trying to keep our
American girls of many dollars for
our American boys who needed them
(both the girls and the dollars)
in their business. Now, by jimmy
crickets, we'll keep 'em from the
coronet habit by taxation.

TEST SEED CORN.
(From the Weekly News Lette

(From the Weekly News Letter S.
Department of Agricultural
Testing seed corn for termination
always a profitable farm practice
| is an absolute necessity this year
in many sections. In a number Of
districts the last corn crop from
which seed for the coming planting
will be taken was late in maturing,o or
so moist when harvested as to call
for special precautions. A high mois
ture content makes seed corn part1--
cularly susceptible to damage from
freezing or heating. Farmers in the
sections where corn failed to ripen
normally who do not test their seed
early enough to be able to re-
place their own bad seed with good
seed secured from other sources will
be taking an unnecessary risk. 1t is
also, especially important for holders
of seed in such districts to take
unusual care during the remainder of
the winter to protect it from freez-
ing.
While comp lete testing for germina-
ton should take place shortly before
the seed is planted, the specialists
Of the department believe that it
will be simple forehandedness for
farmers who have any reason to be
doubtful about the viability of their
seed to make a preliminary germi-
mating test with few typical ears
taken at random from the rack. II
these preliminary tests show that the
seed is good, the owner then can
continue his precautions to guard it
from weather damage. If, however,
this test with few ears Indicate
that the seed is of low vitality, the
farmer should at once make further
tests to satisfy himself as to wheth-
er his seed corn generally is good Or
bad.
If farmer finds his seed is bad,
he should take steps at once to
meet the difficulty. The purchase of
seed should not be delayed till spring,
especially when SO much corn in
various sections has been damaged.
The farmer should secure his seed
from well-known sources, buy it upon
a terminating guaranty basis, and
get his seed or typical samples ear
ly enough to make his own ger
minating tests. 1t is probable this
year that many farmers who have
not followed the wise practice of Sc
lecting enough special seed from
good crops to last them in an
mergency for two or three years,
will have to buy seed. In buying
seed, farmers should try to secure
corn of varieties known to prosper
in their section. The safest seed
would be that carefully selected from
corn grown in the immediate neigh
borhood, but at any rate effort should
be made to obtain seed grown in dis
tricts where climate, soil, and farm
inc conditions in general are similar
to those at home.
If the farmer happens to have a
stock of seed left over from the
1914 crop and doubts the seed say
Ell from his 1916 crop, he would do
we'll to test the older seed also and
then use whichever shows the greater

A CHANCE FOR cUMMINs.

(From the Omaha World Herald.)
"Any available compromise candi-
date but Roosevelt" said the posse
of republican national committee
men in Chicago this week arranging
f r the June convention.
It is just this sentiment that gives
hope to such a candidate as the ia
vorite son of our neighbor state
across the river.
The ola guard, regular republicans,
it is fairly safe to say, will control
he republican convention by virtue
Of having handpicket! a majority Of
the delegates in advance.
But at their elbow will be Roose-
velt and his progressive party con-
ventien. IF you allow me to write
your platform and name your candi-
date, we, the progressives, will help
you to win,' the colonel will say to
them. IF you do not We'll nominate
a ticket of our own, and help you to
lose"
What will be the response of the
republicans, with the sandbag held
thus threateningly over their heads? ?
Naturally they will dislike the idea
either Of being dubbed to death or
of committing suicide. In submission
will lie their only salvation-a "com-
promise that will give Terrible
Teddy his way.
They will find that Roosevelt and
his irregular will never consent
to such a candidate as Burton or
Weeks or Root or Fairbanks. They
will themselves be unable to stomach
Roosevelt. Who will be the ''ayail-
able compromised
1t might, indeed, be Hughes. But
it cannot be Hughes if he, mean
while, has compromised himself by
remaining a member of the Supreme
court while the campaign to nomi-
nate him is, with his knowledge, un-
der way. The chances are, indeed,
that it will not be Hughes, who is
situated now exactly according to his
tastes and inclinations.
And If not Hughes, who could be
a more available compromise than
Albert Baird CXmmins? Senator
Cummins has managed to gain a rep
utation as a progressive but as a
tractable one operating strictly with
in the ranks Of the republican party.
He has never given serious offense
to either element Of his party. He
has been friendly to Taft, friendly
to Roosevelt, and, when it seemed
not entirely safe to be friendly to
either he has taken to the woods.
While neither standpatters or radi-
Gals would throw up their hats at
the mere mention Of his name, nei-
Their would be exactly nauseated. And
with it all, Cummins is a man of
parts and character who would make
a creditable candidate.
And so we say, if an available
compromise is to be captured in Chi
cago next June, why isn't Cummins
likely to be the victim?

vitality. Seed corn if properly cared
for will retain its vitality for sew
eral years. Many farmers knowing
this always select an extra amount
of seed from an unusually good har--
vest.
The following method of testing
seed corn is taken from Farmers
Bulletin 704. The corn is placed on
drying racks made by driving wire
finishing nails about 4 inches
apart on four sides of a. stick. A mum
Der is placed over the nail and the
butts Of the ears are put on the nails
If wire fencing or other seed racks
are used, the ears can be numbered
in other ways.
In single ear testing, two kernels
from opposite sides Of the ear on
the top, two from the middle, and
two from the butt are put in number
ed squares or portions of germinat-
ing boxes or other testers. The ker-
nels are kept moist at a room tenn
perature rot above 80 degrees F. nor
below so degrees F. After six or
seven days the seed should be-
gin to sprout. Only those ears from
which all the kernels give strong
sprouts should be reserved for plant
ing.
Under ordinary circumstances, it
may not be absolutely necessary to
test every Individual ear. If large
number of typical ears show
terminating tests as high as 81 per
cent, the seed in general may be
considered good. Under the unusual
conditions prevailing this year, espec-
tally in neighborhoods where the
corn did not mature normally, it
should we'll repay corn grower to
test every ear that he intends to use

THE PRESIDENTS PLEA
PREPAREDNESS.

Our President has managed the
foreign affairs of this nation during
the most trying period in its history.
There has not been day during the
past year when he could not have
plunged the country into war by fol-
lowing the advice of men like Roose-
welt; but against the greatest pos
sib'e odds he has kept this country
in the paths Of peace and prosperity.
No one knows better than the
President how lack of reasonable
preparedness jeopardizes the coun-
try's peace.
Who can read this extract from
the Presidents address without agree
ing with his conclusion:
1--WE stand in the midst of a world
which we did not ourselves make
and many of the forces of which are
only too jealous of those things
which we cherish. We cannot alter
that world overnight. We can
not hold it at arms length by mere
ly holding up our hands in disap
proval and declaring our separation
in sympathy and purpose from it. We
cannot make it respect us by ignoring
it. The hard, ugly fact is that il
will heed us only if it certainly
knows that our obligation to our
selves and our ideals can and will
be met to the utmost and without de
lay should any one seek to embar
rass their fulfillment or to make i
impossible

for seed. If he has any reason to
doubt the quality of his individual
stock, the ear-by-ear testing is
simply a form of labor and crop in
surance.
Before testing termination, the
farmer should examine each ear and
throw out all the ears which do
not look right or which have several
withered or damaged kernels. He
should strive to make up his seed
from ears which in size and appear
ance seem to be normal for his va
riety of corn. Seed corn should be
shelled if possible by hand to avoid
the risk of damage by mechanical
Smelling. Before Smelling the owner
should pick out peculiar looking ker'
nels and separate the seed into sizes
so as to make certain that the corn
drill will plant regularly.

SIGNS OF PROGRESS.

Sums OF FHO0HESS.
The skies are gettin' shiny
And yaller bud so tiny
Comes a-peekn' from the slender,
swayin' limb.
That bud had best be wary,
Cause it's only February,
An the stormy clouds are hoverin'
bleak and grim.
1t will probably regret it,
Fur frost is sure to get it;
But it serves purpose that is good
an gay.
Though it may not have endurance,
It's pervidin the assurance
That there's blossomin' an sunshine
on the way.
If I properly remember,
1t was only last December
When the days kept CROWN scanty
as they passed,
An the skies were dull an dingy,
An the sun he got so stingy
That we feared he would desert us
at the last.
Now the sun is lingerin' longer,
An our hopes are risin' stronger
An we sometimes think that Aprils
most in sight,
For that New Year institution
Helped him make a resolution,
An he's loosenint up an payin' out
the light.
