Kentucky fsinsrs should husk ,hs;i

with the hSsks on, according to spe
sielists Of The United States Depart
rent of Agriculture. The hasks carry
froN the field TO the arb the inset

1t is possible to fumigste husked corn
more effectively at less expense, and a
muck greater amount of hxsked corn
san be stored in the same crib room.
The sustom more or less general in
the South Of storing corn with the
husks on, is based on recent investi-
gctioE. 1t is found that sribbing
corn with hte bucks on inssres carry
ing practically every insect from the
feld ~ th. crib. and it practically
doubles the volums of storage room
required per bushel of corn. The

IL much larger than shat required
husked corn in closed cribs. Husk-
ing in the field will leave at least
three-fourths of the ins.st! on the

subsequent injury during storing.
There is no need for an open crib

BRsPIsH CAPTAIN
SAVED A BRIGADE

British headquarters in France,
Dec. ia staff captain is mention
cd in the orders of the day issued by
the general commanding q certain
British division on the Cambria front
as follows:
by his heroic conduct he saved
the whole brigade, If not the divis-
ion."
This little note hides the story of
the remarkable bravery displayed by
this captain under the stimulus of
hatred aroused by the crippling of his
baby girl by a German air raid in
England.
During the German attack near
Masnisrs, on November 80, single
handed and armed only with heavy
stick, he attacked and killed or dis
persed group of Germans who were
in possession of an ammunition dump
near his headquarters south of Mar
Going. He then collected a small and
heterogeneous force and pushed on
to Les Rue Vertes, where, in desper-
ate hsnd-to-hand fighting, he effectu-
ally cleared the place of Germans.
He himself, armed with, two revol-
vers, shot down eight German ma
chine gunners and held the position
until relief arrived. other thrilling
incidents are told of British com
-
manders in desperate situations go
ing personally among the men in the
front lines to cheer them. In one
Ease 2 colonel already blinded was
led among his men by an orderly.

of 81, 100000, less the actual cost of
selling the crop which will be less
than is now charged by the loose

DOckery WGs engaged necessarily In
shOveling coal into the mouth of the
furnace beside us. And when he had a
minute TO spare he perched on the seat
behind me, peering out for the signals
which he checked with Demmer. Pick
ing the way through the scattered
houses Of the country we swung along
all along for space of many min

throttle a little and we rounded a
long curve. Ahead cleaned a deep
green light on the right side of the
track.

THAT gives us the st. Charles

as Demmer opened the throttle again,
and perceived we were mounting the
long trestle Of the approach. A sweep
ing curve brought us round gradually
and the searchlight centered finally
upon the Orders and iron works of the
long bridge before us.
We entered the bridge and an in
ferminable number of cross-pieces
passed the cab window like shadows.
Before us, the searchlight threw it's
rays down the vista of steel. But we
had passed the headlights reach as

the yellow lights of the buildings.

From the murky, smoke-filIed shed

illuminated building in which the dis
patchers at work in shirt sleeves

The more it is considered the more

the l20 can outvote the $50 at an,

In this way the divine right OF king
and the divine right OF property to rul
are linked together. with no hope o.
justice left to the people.
The real reason for the war is tn
difference between the American ide
and the German idea. and the fac
that our statesmen have seen that tn

The financial side OF the war and it.

compel attention just now. Some ar,
fearful that our resources are not
large enough to meet the demands ans
others have misgivings as to the effect
Of the war upon business.
Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoe
spoke in Chicago at meeting OF bank
ers and business men. We quote :;
THE country economically wa

alton was never more secure. the gold
supply was never so great, and bust

of the country are great enough t

AS to the business OF the coun

should proceed upon a larger basis
of prosperity than it has ever known
before. The war itself will compel
the production and consumption of
greater amount of supplies than this
country has ever before produced.
IF the war continues another year
