Senator Stone ANSWERS
HIS 7radascers

i Senator w. J. Stone Of Missouri few
days ago delivered = speech il. il the United
States senate, in which he attacked Lord
Northcliffe OF London, who is now in
this country debating the policy OF most
of the metropolitan newspapers OF
America. These editors who have per-
sistently criticised Senator Stones
stand on the war also came in for share
of his attack, which is well warranted,
as every fairminded man will agree.
Referring to his recent introduction
of peace letter from Amos Pinchot,
Senator Stone said his action had 50
Jared editors Of certain type of news
papers assto have thrown them into fit.
"There intolerant editors" said The
senator, assumed l intended to do
things I didn't intend. Some even
asserted l intended to offer a resolu-
ton outlining the terms Of peace, even
to the extent Of advising the president.
It was all purely imaginary.
"Epithets and cartoons have been
employed to put me in a false light
before the public"
Senator Stone declared that it is the
influence of Lord Northcliffe that has
driven these editors into this mad
intolerance. The English editor has
come over from London, and is
honoring this country with visit under
form of kind of official sanction. His
principal object appears to be to in
fuence the American press.
"Thus far Senator Stone says, ''his
efforts have been crowned with success.
Can it be that public man is to be
pilloried if he is audacious enuf to do
anything that doesn't pass the American
censorship Of My Lord Northcliffe?"
Many editors in this country, the
Missiour senator declares, owe allegiance
to the British crown, but that instead
of fighting in the trenches they prefer to
remain here to ifuence American public
opinion.
He is of the opinion that no American
citizen is required to defend his loyalty
against the attacks of such men as these.

Sparkling Eyes.

II you should watch very closely the
eyes of merry person when you see
them sparkle you would probably no
tice that the eyelids move up and down
more often under such conditions than
ordinarily, and If you know what NOV
ing the eyelids up and down in front
Of the pupil of the eye does you will
have your answer, says the Book of
Wonders.
Every time the eyelid comes down it
releases little tear, which spreads
over the eyeball and washes it clean
and bright. It does this every time the
eyelid comes down. Now, there is
something about being merry which has
the effect Of making the eyelids dance
up and down, and thus every time the
lid comes down the ball of the eye is
washed clean and bright and gives it
the appearance of sparkling, as we say.

FARMERS OF MINNESOTA
III CAN MAKE EASY MONEY
...sss
Picking of Seed Corn Early !. Profit
able Occupation.

"A d. Wilson, chairman Of the State
Committee Of Food Production and
Conservation, says the farmers Of Mime
sofa who grow corn can earn from $25
to $50 day from the standing stalks
in their corn fields during Seed Corn
time, from September 10 to 90 Seed
corn picked at that time, according
to Mr.. Wilson, will increase the acre
yield five bushels an acre. On twenty
acres this means one hundred bushes
of corn, which at normal price will
give the farmer from $25 to $50 addi-
tional income from his corn crop. Con-
tinuing he says:
There Is Reason.
BY selecting seed corn during Seed
Corn Time one gets seed that will
mature in normal years. Seed corn
so selected has a chance to dry before
freezing weather. It will not be in
jured by freezing during the winter.
By selecting from standing stalks in
the field one has a chance to consider
the character of the stalks and the
hills.
What and How to Select.
At least so ears should be selected
for every acre to be planted next year.
The seed should be of a variety sue
cessfully grown in the locality for
some time.
''The ears should be medium sized,
nearly as large at the tip as at the
butt with straight rows of uniform
kernels, and not more than 16 to 18
rows to the ear.
.'The kernels should fill all the space
on the cob and should be about half
again as broad at the tip as at the cap.
They should be neither light and chaffy,
nor finty.'

Why not begin with Minnesota?

The Cottonwood County. Citizen Of
Window has swallowed the lie printed
in the Minneapolis Journel several days
ago, to the effect that L. G. Vogel of this
city had begged permission to lead a
parade at Springfield, and that his re-
quest was refused. AS stated in the
Review last week, Aug. G. Erickson,
"lawyer, editor and loyalty manager OF
the village Of Springfield" asked Mr..
Vogel to lead the parade held at Spring
field August 26, and then sneaked out
and caused the libelous story to be
printed in the Journal. 1t is up to Mr..
Erickson, if he wishes to be fair, or even
honest in the matter, to see that re
traction is printed in all Of the the news
papers in which the lie has appeared.

Enforce NeqU Auto Luw

A law was passed at the last session OF
the legislature which should be strictly
enforced. 1t deals with intoxicated
persons who drive automobiles, and is
printed in another column of the Review
this week.
Under this law person convicted of
driving a motor vehicle while under the
influence of liquor, is not only liable to a
fine and Imprisonment, but it is the duty
Of the magistrate before whom he is
convicted, to revoke his license for term
during which time he has no right to
operate car.
A drunken man has no right in a car,
much less to drive one. They not only
endanger the lives of other passengers,
but also all others how happen to be on
bthe public highway at the time.
There was for several days last week
in a local hospital young woman
from Sleepy Eye, suffering from injuries
,, sustained by the antics of bunch of
intoxicated youths who crowded the
car in which she was riding into the
ditch, short distance from this city.
At the same time several other women in
the car were caught under the machine,
but thru pure luck, escaped injury. In
the meantime the young hoodlums, who
caused the trouble, drove on, evidently
seeking other victims.
Let the courts and the police officials
enforce the new law to the limit, and the
public highways will be safer for all
concerned.

Would Boycott the Hog

A movement was started by the Twin
City retail butchers at joint meeting
of members of the Minneapolis and St.
Paul associations Wednesday night,
that may result in nipping a little scheme
of the packers in the bud. The meat
dealers ask the public to cease using
pork in any form until such time as the
prices are reduced to normal conditions
and the packers show their patriotism
by maintaining such normal conditions.
A resolution to that effect was unani-
mously adopted by the one hundred meat
dealers present at the meeting.
The resolution was presented by c. c.
Klimenhagen, a St. Paul dealer, who
declared that pork prices have been
boosted in the past ten days by the
packers to enable them to advance the
price of cold storage pork. He said
statistics show that 93,000,000 pounds
of pork were in storage in about ESQ
storage houses August l.
Mr.. Kimenhagen declared that most
of this meat was put up at cost OF not
more than Is cents a pound, and even
less. Yet the packers have not lowered
the price either of fresh or storage goods
from the high prices asked week ago.
cat the time when every one is trying
to do his patriotic duty, and the general
public looks to the meat dealers for lower
prices" he said, 1--WE find the packers are
taking advantage of the inability Of
Herbert C. Hoover to investigate all
food prices at once and are making us
look like thieves in the eyes of the public. .
A copy of the resolution has been sent
to Mr.. Hoover.
The Twin City meat dealers have taken
the right step, and if their action were
followed by dealers all over the country
it would undoubtedly have telling
effect.
They might go even further and re-
fuse to handle that commodity until
the price has been reduced.

MADISON COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
CLUB REPORT
Nv Secretary Leila Bowman

During the last three years the
following clubs have been organized
by Mr.. Spence in Madison, Jackson
and Rockcastle Counties:
Corn Club; Pig Club; Poultry Club;
Calf Club; Peanut Club; Pop Corn
Club: Potato Club; and Canning Club
for the purpose of making better
farmers out of the coming genera
tions, and also so the fathers can
learn from their cinIdren how they
can profit more by their farming.
am sure that everyone will say
that these clubs are worth while,
and that lots of good has been de-
rived from the excellent club work
done last year. This fact can De
certified in that the Berea National
Bank consented for us to have our
meetings there. and went further
To promise TO furnish pig to one
boy in each county. Some OF the
boys in the Corn Club have almost
doubled in the number OF bushels

been started for four years, and has
accomplished many things, notable
among which is the winning of the
State Championship for corn rails
ing, by one of its members, Iona
Fish.
Now that we have entered the
war, food will be needed more than
ever, since we shall not only have
to feed ourselves and our Allies.
Don't be a Stacker. Are you doing
your bit? II not, get to work at
once in the garden.
Everybody can raise something
even if it is only a row of potatoes.
Altho wheat and other crops are
needed badly, potatoes are needed
very much. Irish potatoes are used
thruout the world and are very good
food. Why not raise potatoes next
year? Think about it, and if you
want to do your bit in this war for
freedom and democracy, raise food.
As chairman of the Potato Division,
| wish to say that the Potato Divis-
ion is in fine working order.
One of the great aids to our work
is the County Agricultural Agent,
Mr.. Robert Spence. Without him
we could not have accomplished
what we have done. Whenever we
needed help, he has helped us if we
asked him. In the name of the Po-
tato Division, I think Mr.. Spence for
his excellent work.
And in conclusion, l wish to say,
hope we shall go on as successful
ly as we have done.

FAREWELL SERMON

| The Rev. a. w. Hamilton Of the
Methodist Church delivered his fare
well address at the Pavilion Sum-
day night. He leaves Friday for
service at the front in France. He
developed his theme, HE that
saveth his life shall lose il; but he
that loseth his life for My sake and
the Gospels, the same shall find it,"
in a most powerful manner. He re-
vealed many facts concerning the war
conditions i'm France that were I'M
known To his hearers. He made n
strong appeal that the people at
hcme should not forget the heroism
o; the man who goes over the para
pet, for he is the man Of the hour.
There is today the greatest oppor-
tunity for mission work the world
has ever known. Men are dying it
is true, but Car worse than this is
the fact that ideals are dying.
Brother Hamilton will work among
our soldiers, to present 10 them
Jesus Christ. in order that they may
not be led astray by the evils that
constantly surround them. Altho
this is a field of the greatest physi-
cal danger. Brother Hamilton is
anxious to GO. Would TO God that
we had more men who are willing
to leave home and country and all
they hold dear for Christ's sake
and the Gospel. We wish Brother
Hamilton Godspeed and a safe re-
turn. Berea is proud to be repre-
scented in so great work by so
great a man.

PIG DIVISION REPORT
BY Ned Bowman

AT the present time as in no other
time is the demand for foodstuff SC
iDsistent. II seems that the great
est shortage is for meat and fats
II falls to the members of the Pie
Clubs to remedy this as much as
possible, not only by raising their
own pigs as rapidly as they can but
by demonstrating TO their parents
and neighbors the fact that hogs
can be raised profltably and that il
8 pleasure to raise them. To make
the greatest possible growth in rails
ing one pig it is as necessary to
give a variety Of food as it is for a
person to have different things to
eat. II we were confined to only
one kind Of food we would
soon begin to tire of it and we
would not retain even our
strength long. So il is with the pig
We should give him some corn to
produce fat, but he should also
have plenty of forage, weeds, if grass
and other crops are not obtainable.
Some of us have the erroneous
idea that pig wants muddy or
greasy water to drink. To the con-
trary! The pig as well as all other
animals relishes and should have
just as good water as we ourselves
drink.
Now as we are interested in grow
ing pigs it will be advisable for us
to have more than one for next
year as it is very little if any more
trouble for us to care for several.
One of the most important facts in
raising hogs is to discard the grades
and in their stead raise pure blooded
hogs. This will enable us to COM
mand the highest prices for our
hogs. This year we were not able to
secure pure bred hogs anywhere
around here suitable for the pig
club so we had to raise any kind we
could get; but next year we expect
to have only pure bred pigs in our
club. Last year we had only fifteen
in our Pig Club but this year il grew
to forty-flve.
There is no doubt that our Pig
Club has done more good in teach
ing us how to raise pigs than We
would have ever accomplished II
we had been left on our own re-
sources.

R0CKCASTLE AGRICULTURAL
CLUB
nv n pish
By H. r. Fish

The Agricultural Club has been
organized in Rockcastle County for
two years.
All the boys are in the Corn Club
with the exception of few at Brod-
head who are in the Pig Club.
Most Of the boys are studying their
lessons which are a great benefit to
them because they teach the boys
many things that perhaps otherwise
they would never learn.
The Agricultural Club is also IA
great help TO the boys from a
financial standpoint. By selling
their corn, pigs, or whatever they
raise, they are enabled to have
money that perhape otherwise they
would not have.
II is also a great help from food
standpoint, especially this year, as
il will help feed America and her
allies. II also teaches the boys TO
cooperate with each other.
II teaches the boys how to grow
more corn on one acre and how TO
put more fat on hog at less ex-
pcnsc than their fathers do.
We feel in Rockcastle that Mr..
Spence is doing a great work not
only with the> older farmers but
with the young people as well.

pie who are growing corn, potatoes
pigs, and poultry, are doing a great
work and serving your country as
well as feeding yourselves. We, too
realize that the beef production is
behind the average in this country
and that the dairy cows are scarce
in our section. Knowing this four
of us boys decided to start a new
division of the agricultural club by
growing calves. This is our first
attempt but we expect to stay with
il next year and do better work
We are making it a study and by
studying we are sure to win.
Some of you boys in Jackson and
Rockcastle Counties start in grow
ing calves;nO scrubs,but halfbreeds
at first. The way to do this is To
persuade your father or a number
Of men to go together in your
neighborhood and buy a fine bred
Shorthorn bull. The calves from
our mountain cows by this fine bred
bull then will be half breed Short
horns. They will be worth twice
as much at weaving time as the
scrubs you are now raising.
Let's be patriotic, and do things
like our County Agent, Mr.. Spence,
tells us. He is for us and working
for our interest. He can see farther
in the future than we can and this
is the reason we should follow his
advice. At the suggestion of Mr..
Spence we are going to show our
calves at the Fair this year. Come
on boys and let's have ~ or is
calves to show next year. Get in
the club now, keep your records,
study your lessons, and let's be one
strong body doing our part in this
great and hard struggle for liberty
and right. Our boys are yonder on
the battlefield, let us live here to
preserve the cause for which they
are dying.

never taken interest in raising
chickens until the Poultry Club was
~ gained, and some Of them made
almost enough last year to put them
Through school. am sure that not
only the boys in the Calf Club will
prosper better than ever before but
that the calves that are entered in
the club are glad of it for | am GER
tain they will be better fed and car
ed for than the other calves. Most
people never tried to raise peanuts
would grow in eecgav ETAO OINSH
before or even knew that they
would grow in Kentucky, and I am
sure there will be enough potatoes
raised to feed the whole army all
winter. The Red Cross girls had
word the other day that the army
was out of blackberry jam, but if
the girls in the canning clubs keep
up their excellent work the Gov
eminent will certainly be able TO
purchase the jam.
This year when Mr.. Spence organ
lied the clubs he combined them
all under the one name Of Agricul-
tural Club, altho they are each do
ing separate work.
Each Of the members Of this club
has a text book and are also re-
ceiving lesson sheets which we are
to study and report on at the meet
ings. At the end of the year we
will take an examination and il We
pass we will receive honors from
the State.
We as club members feel that we
are doing our port in the great war
struggle for right.
