of the Democratic gubernatorial fight, in
which Charles H. Cole, who recently re-
signed as adjutant general Of the state
militia. and Frederick W. Mansfield, for
mer state treasurer are the contestants

wind" tours through this city and envf-
rons Other candidates on the Demo-
cratic state ticket are unopposed.

I hughes Says United
States Must Stand
for Honor Of FLAG
Has Audience of Civil War Veterans Monday At
Dayton, Ohio :.

Dayton, Ohio. Sept. 25.-The United
States. Charles e. Hughes today told
an audience Of Civil War veterans,
will not endure unless each genera
ton stands firmly for the dignity of
American citizenship and the honor of
the flag,
what I most want to see in this
country" Mr.. Hughes said, "is to have
our young men. middle-aged men. all
our men and our women, too, fired
with the patriotic spirit of 81.
"You veterans aided in preserving
the Union at a critical time, but in q
very true sense every generation must
preserve the Union. We are still
very young country as compared with
empires of the past that have fallen
from decay We cannot be preserved
alone by the valor of our ancestors, by
those of an earlier day, but we can.
indeed, be preserved if we keep alive
their spirit.
Driving Power Of Loyalty
"As I look to the future and great
ly desire that we should find solution
for the economic problems Of our
country 1 am deeply impressed with
the fact that we must have a driving
power Of progress Of love for our
country. Whatever our race. whatever
our creed, wherever we spring from,
wherever our fathers were born, we
must have an intense devotion to our
country, the United States. If we are
going to go ahead in the troublous
days of the goth century and hold our
nation where it belongs in the front
rank of the nations of the world.
Surely, my friends, you must look
into the future with some concern as
you think of the possibilities of agita-
tion and disturbance in this land. We,

AND
CURING OF CORN

Experience at the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station agrees with that OF
all growers that the quality Of a corn
crop depends to a great extent on the
way in which the seed from which 1t
was raised was cured and cared for
before planting. The following points
are believed to be essential to the best
results, and may be of help to the
farmers Of Maine.
HARVESTING. Corn intended for
seed must pe fairly we'll matured, yet
must not be chilled or frozen. The
stage at which it may safely be har-
vested for seed is, therefore, an import
ant point to know. In regard to this 1t
may be said that corn may be harvest
ed for seed as soon as the husks dry.
However, the longer it can be safely
left in the field after this the better 1t
is. So far as termination alone Is
concerned the care after harvesting is
relatively more important than the ac-
tual stage at harvesting, provided the
kernels have begun to harden and
glaze.
DRYING AND CURING. AS soon
as possible after harvesting seed corn
should be husked and the ears put in
a warm, dry room Temperature not
lower than 30 degrees at any time) in
which there is some circulation Of air.
To get the best results they should
never be put in a cold shed or barn
chamber, as is too often done. Seed
corn is probably more often injured
soon after harvesting by (a) chilling
and CO becoming alternately mois-
tened and dried, than by any other
causes. After drying Is begun the
corn should not be allowed to become
moist or even to stay in a moist at
mosphere until it is planted. To get
the best results it will be necessary to
use some artificial heat (from a stove
or furnace) in drying the corn. Any
one engaged in the business Of raising
seed corn should have a special drying
room.
To get the best results with seed corr.
it is necessary that during the curing
process and until the corn Is shelled no
ear should be in contact with anything
but the surrounding air. In this way
the air circulates around each kernel.
The corn then does not mould and
cures quickly and evenly.
CURING AND STORAGE RACKS.
Putting the corn in traces for drying
and storing can be practiced where
only a small amount Is being cured,
but the condition most favorable to
proper curing Is best realized by the
use of storage racks
The racks used by the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station are II feet
long, 6 feet high, 2 feet wide. with
shelves. The uprights are of 2 by
stuff. The shelves are made OF one
inch mesh poultry fencing feet in
width. This Is supported by one by
two inch strips Of wood to which the
fencing is securely fastened by staples.
The ears are laid on the shelves in
such a way that they do not touch each
other. Only a few kernels Of each ear
rest upon the shelf wires and the air
circulates freely through the entire
rack. OF course, the racks can be
made Of any desired size. But a width
Of two fest and a height Of feet make
convenient size for putting the
corn on the shelves.
Such a rack is readily made mouse
and rat proof by covering the sides,
ends. top and bottom with wire fly
screening. The screen should be OIL

In safeguarding ourselves and fam
lilies from danger and in seeking not
to endanger others, the following rules
should be fixed in mind, remembering
also that the source Of infection is
the discharges from the nose and
mouth and bowels Of infectious per-
sons. and that the work Of prime i'm
portance Is to prevent transference
OF these secretions or excretions to the
nose or mouth Of other persons.
Il. Observe the utmost care to re-
ceive all discharges from the nose and
mouth Of infectious persons on pieces
Of cloth or Of paper toweling, and to
have these pieces placed in paper bags
as soon as they are used and then
burned.
"2. The acts Of coughing and sneez-
ing provide a liberal spraying Of in
fection. When possible cover the
mouth and nose with a piece of gauze
or paper toweling when one must
cough or sneeze.
"3. Bear in mind that the mother who
appears to be perfectly well may be a
carrier Of infection and may infect her
we'll child by kissing it on or near the
mouth; and that by kissing her child who
is sick she endangers her other children
by establishing a source of infection in
her own throat and nose.
"a. The fingers Of dirty or careless per-
sons are sources of danger to their own
ers and to other persons. They become
soiled and carry infection direct to the
nose and mouth or indirectly through food
or other things. The hands should be
washed carefully with soap and water
after every visit to the toilet. after any
service for the sick. and particularly be-
fore partaking Of a meal or handling
food for others.
'5. The danger of infection may be
greatly lessened by reforming personal
habits. Stop twisting your moustache, II

From the London Chronicle.
Should the kingdom Of Jerusalem oe

ions for the electric lighting OF the
city and for the construction Of four
electric tramways. including one from
the Jaffa Gate to Bethlehem and an
other along the Damascus road to the
head of the valley of Jehosaphat
Steps have also been taken to con-

Do the babies need relief?
One of them has answered in the

She is not quite twenty-five months
old and living in a neighborhood OF
parked yards has been affected only to
a slight degree by the heat. No one
has talked to her about the weather
and no one knew that her baby mind
realized that the days and nights had
been abnormal.
On a recent morning, when the rain
came down in sheets. she called her
mother to her crib and pointed out the
window and said: Baby needed the

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9 - Public hearings in the federal trade commis- sion's news print paper investigation will be resumed Friday, December 29. The commission announced to- day that phases of the situation not completed at the previous hearing would be taken up including reason ableness of prices, cost of manufac- ture and jobbers' profits.
 Tt is hoped" said the announce ment, that a plan will be devised which will prevent the suspension of publications now dependent upon the open market for their paper supply. It is also expected that information being collected now will throw much light on the problems
 Resumption of the hearings, it was explained. does not necessarily mean the failure of a news print di"'riDo- ton plan proposed last week fv tfa manufacturers under which the lars,. papers would share paper they have bought on contract for 1917 needs
 
 with small publishers who buy in the open market.
 Committees of the interests con- cerned now are cooperating with the trade commission. in accordance with an agreement reached after last weeks hearings to ascertain the eX- tent of next years paper needs and the probable output of the mills. In the proposed distribution plan small publishers would be supplied with paper at the average price sold all customers.
 Information collected by tine tradd commissions investigators concern ing profits and costs of paper manu facture predicted at the last hearing but not taken up at length after the distribution proposal was made, would be gone into the new hearings.
