CAUSE OF POOR CORN YIELD
Inferior Quality Of Seed Is Given az
Chief Reason for Small Average
in United States.

The average per acre yield Of corn
in the United States is less than rs
bushels-not half crop.
Poor seed is the greatest cause OF
the poor yield of corn. Just one small
eight-ounce ear of corn added to each
hill will raise the average in the
United States to 81 bushels per acre,
double the yield and value Of the crop
and add about $1,7O0,000,0O0 to its
total value.
Corn from a standpoint of acreage
yield and value exceeds every other
crop.
Wherever corn is grown there you
find high priced land and prosperous
people.
No other crop can replace corn. but
corn can readily take the place of any
other grain crop.
Corn is put to a greater number OF
uses than any other crop that grows.
There are greater possibilities Tor
Improvement, yield and quality OF
corn than any other crop.

This is a recent discovery Of DR..
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator Of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms OF
nfiammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or IL uric
acid in the blood ha: caused rheuma'
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
~ "Anuric" acts. The best OF results are
always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism in the joints, in gravel
and govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which SO frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

lust LOOK WHAT THOSE
SOLDIERS ARE TRYING
TO DO TO OUR CALENDER

LONDON, Nov. 22.-Even. while
the world war is raging around them
day dreamers and idealists have
found time to send few suggestions
from the front trenches in Pacardy.
A corporal, inspired by the comfort
able surroundings Of newly-captur'
ed German trench dugout, suggests
that a new era for the world should
be created Immediately after the wal
is over, the ear One beginning on the
day peace is finally declared.
Another reformer is propounding
the theory that at the end of the e2'
isting unpleasantness, the allies
should return to the French Repub-
lican calendar, which begins the first
month of the year on Sept. % in
stead of January 1, and renamed it
the month of Vintage. The names Of
the other months are changed, ac-
cording to the soldier idealist, to
make life more cheerful. For in
stance, the second month would be
known as Foggy, the third Sleety
and others as Rainy, Windy, Bud
ding, Flowery. Harvest and Fruit.
II this plan were adopted, today
would be Windy the twenty-second.

DEMOCRACY'S VICTORY
RESTS UPON THE SUR
PRESSED BALLOT

The unhappiest reading which
comes to the attention of the Repub-
licans at the present time is that the
administration proposes to investi-
gate the senatorial elections held in
Indiana. 1t is announced, also, that
the entire legal force of the United
States is to investigate every charge
1f irregularity in the votes cast on
November 7th. In other words, the
Democratic party, being in power by
virtue Of frauds upon the ballot in
the South proposes to proclaim its
virtue by investigating things in the
North. But when a Republican SUE
gests that the Investigations of the
ballot should begin in the South,
even the northern Democrats say
that Republicans are waving the
bloody shirt.
The contest in the United States
between the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties is unequal The Repub-
licans start with handicap. The
negro vote in the South is counted
when the appointment of members of
congress is made and is not counted
when the election is held. The loyal
people of the North are making the
Democratic party a present of 100 or
more congressman and the same
number of electors without a strug-
gle. One-half that number repre-
sents fraud upon the ballot. This
is the leading crime in the republic
1t must be settled. The independent
American who has made his own
way and achieved his own ends by
hard work will not enjoy being de-
frauded Of a large percentage of his
political influence. The men of the
South may not want to restore the
ballot to the negro. But they ought
TO give up the influence which the
negro gives the South. The negro is
used to control the elections; to con-
troll congress and this injustice must
cease. Every injustice endure with.
out protest is crime against liberty.
If this government stands for any
thing, it is for liberty. 1t has stood
for liberty during all the years that
slavery existed, and civilized men in
all countries knew that American
liberty was a joke. The negro is do
ing something toward remedying
present conditions. He is moving to
the north. This may be the solution
but the South needs the negro; needs
his labor. The negro is the one la
borer of the South at the present
time. He has done pretty well in
financial way in the South. He
has not quarreled with the white
people, and the white people have,
in great measure, treated him well.
The injustice in the whole PROPOSE
tion rests upon the North. = Des
