The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there ia at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, an
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cur
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do

WEAK SEED CORN LOWERS THE
YIELD.
(Country GentlemanN


In g recent ear-to-to-the-row corr
! growing demonstration at the farm OF
(, LYLE tombstone, Mclean county. II.
] linois,. one of the most striking facts
brought out was that weak gerr mat.
ing seed IS the source OF great loss.
/ Farmers of Mclean county brought
eighty-two different ears of corn Ia
the Office of the Mclean County Bet.
ter Farming Association. These airs
were tested and it was found that
twenty-one ears, or 25.6 per cent of
them, tested weak or dead. These
weak ears were planted with corn
planter, four or more kernels being
dropped in each hill. At the proper
time all the hills wer cut back to two
stalks in the hill. 1t would seem that
if two stalks were present i'm MANY
bills IN the rows planted from seed
OF cars showing weak termination,
the difficulty due TO weakness in the
seed would have been somewhat oy-
ercome.
The results, however, show that the
yield of the rows planted with seed
from these twenty-one ears was yery
much less than the yield from the 26
rows planted with corn from tine
strong, terminating ears. The aver
age yield per acre from the twenty
one. weak terminating ears was 35.4
bushels, as compared with an average
terminating of 46.7 bushels from the
sixty-one strong terminating ears
a gain of lib bushels over the ears
that showed weak termination.
The majority of the ears that were
considered weak in termination
showed test of five strong kernels
and one weak kernel out of six put
into the germinator. Even then, and
combining with that the fact that
about twice the normal amount of
seed was planted in each hill, the
weakness seemed to extend through
the life of the plant.
The farmer who Is after the high
yield will certainly st his seed corn
carefully and eliminate all those oars
that do not show perfect termination.

lNDICTING a GOVERNMENT.

THIS is WAR.
1.-THE Worldly

Technically the United States and
Germany are not at war. They have
only severed diplomatic relations. But
actually Germany is deriving all the
military advantage that could be gain
ed from war with the United States
without mourning the penalties or
disabilities.
German submarines are ruthlessly
sinking ships without warning and
making no inquiries into the nationa-
atty of their victims. American ship
owners are afraid to sail the seas lest
vessels and cargoes be destroyed and
passengers and crew murdered. The
United States is worse than blockad-
ed, for blockade is conducted in ac-
cordance with the recognized rules of
warfare. A blocking feet does not
sink merchant ships without warning,
nor does it massacre helpless nom
combatants, nor does it seek for VIC
Tins among women and children.
There is law Of blockade, but there
is no law of ruthless submarine war
fare against commercial shipping.
Our ship-owners are doing the will
of the German Government. They
are taking the orders of the German
Government. Germany much prefers
that American ships should remain
tide up in their home ports. That
saves German commanders the trouble
of Destroying them and accomplish
es in the easiest way possible the pur-
pose of the submarine decree.
But how long will the American
people forego all their rights on the
seas? How long will they passively
submit to reign of terror? How
long will they try to deceive them.
selves into believing that German,
it not making war upon the United
States?
What we now call peace is MOI
peace. 1t is merely non-resistanct
on our part. What Germany is doinf
is war, and it is none the less wal
because thus far no American shi,
has happened to fall victim to Ger
man barbarism and no American live
have been blotted out by German
torpedoes.
This sort of thing cannot 90 on in
definitely. When a state of affair.
has been reached Mt which America,
ships and American citizens soil tn
seas only at imminent risk of destruc
ton, we have all the elements of wa
except self-defense.
1t seems to the world that the Pres
