Harriet passed the door on her way

the parlor had momentary glimpse
of her slender, sagging shoulders, her
thin face, her undisguised middle age.

it's right enough, too. Your aunt ought

Sidney, left alone, stood in the little

beckoning finger of dreams, now

discredit of some corn growers this
method of storing is still in vogue,
even in sections where good means of
storing could be afforded at little ex-
pense. 1t is no uncommon sight to
see rail pen after rail pen filled with
ears of corn and without any cover,
exposed to all the rains and SHOWS of
winter, and these in sections of the
country that produce the most corn
and are consequently most interested
In higher-priced corn. This corn re-
mains in apparently good condition
during the cold weather and is usually
placed upon the market in early
spring. Filled with water, 1t fs not
long after it is loaded into box cars
or vessels until it heats and spoils.
The installation of elevators where
such corn can be kiln dried has been
brought about by this poor manner Of
storing the corn crop. There is q

not, it is of great Importance that it
be well stored and not left long ex-

The mistake is sometimes made of
placing the hay crop in sheds and
barns and leaving the corn stoyer In
| shocks in the field. The reverse is
better, inasmuch as most kinds of hay
will not depreciate so rapidly in feed
ing value and will keep better in
Itacks and ricks than corn stover. Un-
less placed under cover stover should
be fed in the fall and early winter.
If left exposed until February or
March 1t has little feeding value.
In the principal corn-producing
states the autumns are usually dry,
md corn fodder dries thoroughly in
the shocks and is shredded and stored
In barns or feed sheds with little dam
ger of heating or molding. The fod-
der should not be wet when shredded
and stored, but damp days are prefer
able for doing the hauling and shred
ding because the blades are more pli-
able and the fodder is therefore ham
died with less waste. But in some
sections, especially in northern states,
where the corn is full of sap when cut,
and where damp fall weather prevails,
much care is necessary in storing corn
fodder or stover to prevent heating
and molding. In such localities it
should be placed under cover in ricks
not more than 6 or feet in thickness,
or, If shredded, layers of dry straw
several inches deep should alternate
with layers of the shredded stover.
The depth of the layers Of stover can
vary from several inches to foot or
more, according to its dryness when
stored. The dry straw will take up
some of the moisture from the stover
and prevent heating.

U.BOATS LAY IN
Wait FOR GOLD
KAISER'S AGENTS PLOT TO GET
METAL FOOLED BY UNIT
ED STATES.
RESERVE IS DWINDLING
Submarines in Area Around Great
Britain Were Instructed to Re-
move Gold From Steamers.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Repeated
activities OF German agents here and
in neutral countries to obtain pos
session OF American gold, it was
learned today were largely response
BILE for the recent proclamation plac-
ing gold on the list OF commodities
requiring export license.
With an enormous inflated paper
currency, and with a gold reserve
that has been dwindling steadily
since the war began, the demand of
the German government for gold has
reached proportions where, accord
ing to reports received here, unheard
Of methods apparently have been
adopted to replenish the store.
One report reaching officials here
is that German submarines in the
area around Great Britain were, in
structed to remove gold from steam
ers transporting the precious metal
from the United States to neutral
European countries, torpedo the yes
sells and bring back the gold to their
bases. How far this alleged pro-
gram has been carried out, If at all,
is not known.
officials have been unable to veri-
fly the accuracy Of numerous reports
of this nature, but the activity in
gold expectations to neutrals for
some months past aroused the con-
Germ of treasury officials prior to the
Presidents proclamation.
The bulk of American gold exports
during the past seven months has
gone to South America mostly to Ar
gentina and to Japan. A tremendous
increase in the gold exports to Spain
also is recorded.
Exports to the Orient also have
been observed closely Japan's with
drawals OF gold during the past fis-
cal year were s11O,507,313 as COM
pared with sS0O,04S the year prev
ious.
Mexico has figured to some extent
in reports reaching treasury officials
to the effect that German agents were
straining themselves for American
gold. A comprehensive investiga-
ton, however. is understood to have
convinced officials that there was lit
tie likelihood of gold sent to Mexico
reaching German hands, and what
ever apprehension existed on that
score has been dissipated.

MARRIED MEN ARE NOT Ex-

WIVES AND MOTHERS
Weep at Vanishing Hope to Save
Their Husbands And Sons
From War.

The announcement by the District
Exemption Board, so far as the ap-
peals from Daviess county are con-
cerned, that the work of the local
board in granting discharges to
number of persons drafted from army
service on account of being wife de-
pendents was set aside and the APP
plicants held to be fit subjects for SER
vice, caused the armory to be visited
this morning by number of mothers
and wives seeking further informal
ton. Many of those who called on
the local board shed tears when told
by Secretary Weir that this board
was powerless to grant any further
relief. Secretary Weir informed the
mothers and wives that they had
granted exemptions as per the in
structions received from the highest
authority but that the district board
having held different in most of the
appeals, it's decision was final. APP
peals to the president of the United
States can only be made from deci-
sion of the district board on indus
trial occupation.
1t was stated that as soon as the
local board receives official informa-
ton from the district board showing
the reversal of the discharge grant
ed, that immediate preparation will
be made to carry many of these cases
direct to the president of the United
States. ..r a i-i - -. sss.o
Secretary Weir said further, not
outstanding the fact that the dis
trict board is viewing the matter in
a different light than the local board,
that the same action would be car
ried out on Friday by the local board
when it undertook to pass on the ex-
emptions filed by those among the
tG0 recently examined as has beea
carried out from the very first. Mr..
Weir said further that it was never
intended that married man should
do any army service as long as there
were plenty Of single men left to per-
form this duty, and this is the coz
struction placssd on the instructions
given the board from three Of the
highest authorities in the United
States.

The Ohio County Boys Agricul-

on the north side of the square Fri
day, and it is conceded by everyone
that the quality of everything exhib-
tied was fully so per cent above that
shown last year, which is evidence
OF the fact that the boys are taking
an interest in the club work, which
is so zealously pushed by County
Agent w. w. Browder.
Mr.. b. G. Nelson, State Agent Boys
Clubs, of Hopkinsville, was judge of
the show, and he admits that there
was about the prettiest bunch of pigs
exhibited he had ever seen, and that
it was a difficult matter to pin the
"blue."
There were 20 pigs exhibited, one
Poland China, two Berkshires and
twenty-six Durocs. The Poland Chi
ma won the sweepstakes, being con-
sidered by Mr.. Nelson as the best
pig in the show.

Ohio County Oil Boom.

Ohio county seems to be in for
another oil boom. A Pennsylvania
company recently brought in well
in Grayson county that promised fair
results, and the lease takers imme-
diately got busy in the western part
OF Grayson county and the eastern
part of Ohio.
The Grayson we'll gave oil at a
depth of 500 feet, and will probab-
ly pump twenty barrels day. The
country about Olaton and westward
as far as New Baymus was at once
coveted territory by the lease hun
tiers, and most of the land was at once
taken.
More recently, we understand, 9TH
err parties have gotten busy around
Dundee and Sulphur Springs. and are
leasing the territory extending down
to the field involved in the develop
ments a few years ago.

GOVERNMENTS APPEAL
TO THE FARMERS

The winning of the war may de-
pend upon the American farmers
ability to feed the Allied armies. Not
men, nor guns, but bread may be the
real test. The government calls up
on the farmers OF Ohio county to do
their bit by increasing their food
crops by twenty per cent. The last
0,000, 900 bushels may win the war,
who knows? The Government is
calling upon the farmers of Ohio
county to do their bit toward winning
of the war. The price OF wheat has
been fixed for 1918 at $500, and
with this assurance OF a profitable
price for the wheat crop OF next
year it would be little short of a
crime for the farmers Of Ohio coun-
ty to neglect the planting of the big
gest wheat crop in the county's his
tory this fall. Let us all get busy
and contribute our share toward the
bread supply for the winning of the
war.
This is a call to patriotic service,
and we hope every farmer in the
county will respond.
