Get busy on your seed corn this
week; dry it out, keep it dry and
warm all winter; don't let it get cold
enough to freeze-and next winter you
won't need to test and test, perhaps
rejecting a number of ears. All grain
is fertile nOw-it won't be if it gets
frozen.

Take a slant at the new Buick and

Now comes the word that Vernon
Castle the apostle of the foxtrot, bun
nyhug, maXixe, hesitation and San
Francisco glide, has been killed in the
European war. For the benefit Of peO-
pie who have to work with their hands
instead Of their feet it may be said
that Mr.. Castle is the worlds leading
exponent of the art Terpsichore. War,

world. They do not realize that an

properly termed as news, there re-
mains no choice but to print the item
