Corn Bears Red Cross.

Miss Bessie Duke showed us, one day last week, an ear of white corn, which was grown by MT. Mccarthy, near Collins, on which nature had indelibly stamped a red cross. All the grains on this ear were white, except on one side of same are ten red grains, shaped in such manner as to form Maltese Cross. Rev. F.

Now, that the selective draft is on and the Official Boards are at work, passing upon the quail ifcations and exemptions of the subjects, we hear a great deal of discussion among the people as to which class should be taken. chiefly, the married or single Most of the married people, both the men who are subject to the draft, aud their friends, think it would be an intolerable outrage to select married man for ar my service and let a single man escape; but the young people, both men and women, feel that the husband had just as we'll go to the front as the sweet heart; and, in many cases, he had, for the grief would be no more poig
 
 nant, the sorrow no deeper, nor the sacrifice greater. When young people truly love each other, and their hearts beat in unison, the mere form of con- tracting marriage rites make their love no stronger, and a separation in such cases is as hard for the single to bear as it is for the married, and here one class has no peculiar advantage over the other. If there are no other ties, save the marriage ceremony, the young wife who will be lett behind IS no worse of than the young woman who IS the betrothed Bride of the brave young soldier who goes to war. In both these cases there are broken hearts and shattered hopes, but when it comes to the taking Of the married men, who nave wives and little children, it is quite a different story, for nere we have the broken hearts. shattered hopes. despair, depri vation, and threatened want be- sides.
 While dependency IS one of the grounds to be considered for ex emption. pecuniarv considera tions should not alone be the controlling factor; but the care and custody of the children. which are to he brought up to manhood and womanhood, as useful and helpful citizens, should also be taken into account.

 In previous conflicts, women have not been unresponsive to our country's call aud the women of to-day will like, wise spring to the fore and do mans part wherever they can.
 The need for young women to-day is imperative. Not only is there short age of stenographers in all govern ment departments at Washington, but private firms all over the country must have stenographers and office help to fill the gaps caused by the war.

How can the farms produce more

How can more acres be planted to

Increase Of labor is hardly TO be

past and that Is Fertilizer But this

Fertilizer can increase production
without increasing labor except al

appreciate this fact, and are giving
all the encouragement they can to the
use of fertilizers.
The railroads can't do the bust.

the fertilizer dealer must have enough
