Climbing Parnassus.

In mythology Parnassus, mountain
in central Greece, was sacred to the
muses.. The Delphian sanctuary OF
Apollo was on its slope, and from be-
tween its twin summit peaks flowed
the fountain Castnlia. the waters of
which were repntcd to impart the vir-
tue of poetic inspiration. The highest
peak, S,06S feet, was held sacred to
Bacchus and the rest to Apollo and the
muses., whence the saying of young
poets, climbing Parnassus.

seed CORN SHORTAGE
CONDITION GENERAL OVER THE
NORTHWEST - GOVERN
MENT TAKES NOTICE.

State and national authorities are
taking cognizance of the seed corn
shortage, and say that the condition
extends throughout the northwest.
Other sections of the country are al
so affected, but their corn for seed
would not relieve the condition in
the northwest, as IL will not mature.
They urge that every farmer who has
corn which is fit for seed should sort
it out and dry 1t carefully, and COM
municate the fact and how much OF
he has to his local bank. The local
bank will communicate with the fed
eral reserve bank, and they will
know where it can be marketed, and
at a better price than could possibly
be had on the local market.
John HI. Rich, chairman of the
federal board and federal agent, says
that most of the corn in Minnesota
North and South Dakota is soft
Only 20 per cent of the crop in Min.
nesota will terminate. These statos
will have to depend on themselves
for their seed, for southern grown
corn will be useless. And every
bushel will be needed If the acreage
of corn is to be kept up another year
This condition is prevalent here al
well as in the rest Of the country. &C.
cording to tests made.
The government will appreciate
immediate action on the part Of al
the farmers to save, test and store
seed for their own use, and to assist
corn production next year by report
ing as soon as possible the amount Of
seed that they can spare.

WARNING.
To All Automobile Owners:

10 All
We find that during this severe
weather a great many owners Of cars
are running with heavy oil in the
crank case If you do this you are
apt to burn your bearing out. Wish
you would see that the oil in your
crank case is drained out and then
put in a zero oil. Get something that
will not get stiff this cold weather.
There is a regular zero oil that can
be bought and we think any supply
house "a furnish it. Please do this
and 1t will save you the cost of hav-
ing new bearings put in your car.
Be sure that your storage battery
is kept fully charged. If you let
your battery run down it will freeze
and burst, but IL you keep 1t fully
charged 1t will stand this severe
weather. Be sure to watch your
radiator also and IL you use the car
this cold weather, have wood alco-
hol added to your radiator solution.
Your crank case should be drained
every thousand miles and IL you do
this you r III to get away from
all bearing trouble.
Also use high test gas as the low
test is nothing more than kerosene
and you are apt to run your battery
down starting your car.
