 Patriotic Rally.
 The Ninth Grade English Class of the Juneau High School held a Patriotic Rally on Thursday. A speech was given by each member of the class on the subject of Food Conservation to arouse the inter- est of the pupils in denying them selves unnecessary luxuries. The following is one of the speeches:
 How We Can Help to Get Near CT to Victory"
 In the time of war we should try to save all that is possible.
 One thing we can do is to can vegetables and other perishable foods. The reason why we should do this is because the canned goods that we buy will go up in price on account of the tin having to be imported. If we should go to ooHe SIUCeFy store we should see shelves full of canned goods. A farmers daughter when once asked what they did with all their crops replied: We eat what we can and what we cant eat we can"
 Another thing that we should try to save is wheat The way we waste it most is by throwing away old bread with which many delicious and dishes could be made.
 In France they are using ocean water inf their bread instead of fresh water and salt that we use And 1t has been found that sea wa ter has additional mineral products not found in the fresh water and salt which are especially good for growing children and infants.
 The sea water also keeps the bread fresh for longer time.
 If we all save what we can no matter how little it may be we are helping to win the war and helping to get nearer to victory.

For this reason we are obliged to make eff fective at once. the following prices on screened coal. This, however, we do not consider an advance in the price of coal, but a condition that We must necessarily meet as we wish to particularly call your at- tention to the fact that the price of mine run coal is not being raised at this time.

AGAIN ACTIVE
EXEMPTION BOARD AGAIN BE-
GINS WORK-TO REARRANGE
CARDS AND GIVE NOTICE.

The exemption board today began
their work according to the amended
method Of listing the registered men
for liability to military service. The
whole remaining list Of uncalled or
unnotified men will be r%earranged
according to classes, Of which there
are five, and the whole class of
greatest liability will be summoned
before any n belonging to any of
the other classes is called. This re-
quires a great deal of work on the
part of the board, and they are au-
thorized to employ clerical help for
its performance. Today j. A. John
son undertook some of the prelimi-
nary work of rearranging the numer-
zeal order of the registry cards.
Other clerks will be gotten later to
assist in the work, of which there is
considerable detail. The question
aires are to be sent out soon, and
they must all be mailed within five
days of the beginning of sending
them out. Seven days are allowed
for their return, when they will be
arranged into the classes into which
they fall. The work of filling out
the blanks of the missionaries is
great and will require considerable
help.

seed CORN OUTLOOK
SCARCE AND OF POOR QUALITY
INTENSE EARLY FROST
HURT DEVELOPMENT.

When questioned last night as to
the seed corr situation in Lake coun-
ty, Prof. l.. G.. Anterior said that he
doubted the statement that the coun-
ty had enough of seed corr for it's
W planting next year. Seed corr
was taken from certain well develop
ed fields early, which, given careful
attention in curing and storing,
might make a fairly fertile seed.
That taken from fields of ordinary
maturity after the first hard and
early frost would make very poor
seed, which yielded by such tests as
have been given 1t not a greater per-
centage of terminating quality than
from 10 to rs per cent, and that UNI
der the most favorable conditions.
Very few took seed from the field
early. The result is that locally
adapted seed corn will be almost un-
obtainable next spring.
Mr.. Anterior says that corn met
with unusually severe fall weather
this year. Usually the first frost of
the season is such as to kill merely
the outside leaves and husks of the
corn, leaving the commanding ele-
ment in the stalk to be transmitted to
the developing ear. This year the
first frost froze not only the leaves
and husks of the corn, but the stalk
and EAR, effectually arresting devel-
oping by killing the stalk. The
juices which would normally gradu-
ally go to the development of the ear
were stopped, changed chemically by
the frost, and the passages to the ear
destroyed by the swelling of the froz-
en- moisture. The result of this, Mr..
Atherton explains, is that the ear
would contain only such solids as
were in it at the time of the frost,
of which a great part would be water.
Later warm and damp weather would
result only in the corn either shrink
ing greatly in an ~undeveloped green
state, or moulding in the dampness
and warmth. And that is what hap
pened this year.
This lack OF development and dry
ing not only affects the terminating
quality of the corn as seed, but it also
destroys its keeping qualities. Those
who have harvested corn and placed
it in cribs in the ordinary way have
been compelled to remove it and
spread 1t about in the air. In many
cases 1t will not even keep IL piled in
small piles. Many farmers have
abandoned picking altogether, and
are turning the stock into it to do
their own picking. The month of
| November has been unusually favor
able in this respect, being cold, dry
and clear. Later snowy weather will
cause a loss of corn On the sround
under snow. Had the same weather
prevailed in October, with a lighter
frost at the beginning, the corn
would not only have been greatly i'm
proved as to quality, but there would
have been much greater amount of
seed for use another year.
