SELLS 5000 BUSHELS
OF CORN AT 81

Frank Wright CHANGED to have
5000 bushels of corn of the 1916
crop on his farm south of Pacific
Junction. When corn was lowering
around $2.25 per bushel and people
who knew of the corn wondered why
Mr.. Wright did not sell. Frank in
timated that the price was too high.
In truth, Mr.. Wright could not make
the delivery at that time without a
great sacrifice, and che corn remain
ed in the crib.
When the 1917 crop toward Sep
TENDER l looked promising, the 1916
corn went down several notches.
Jack Frost came along in October
and put the kibosh on 1917 corn for
seed purposes. The other day some
seed corn men came along and took
a look at the crib Of corn. 1t looked
so good to them that they made an
offer. Mr.. Wright made a counter
offer and then a deal was made
whereby Mr.. Wright will receive for
his 5000 bushels of corn the price
of $500 per bushel, crib run. The
corn will be delivered at Bartlett.

partment are considered. There was
a reduction in the number of horses.
cattle and swine exhibited, but an
increase in the number of sheep and
poultry. Secretary Corey Of the state
department of agriculture attributes
the decrease in horses, cattle and
hogs to the increased cost OF feed and
the expense of fitting the stock for
show purposes.

GREEN TO PRESENT
MONEY DRAFT BILL

Representative Green, who is on
the ways and means committee, will
shortly introduce a bill which vir-
tually provides for the forced sale
of bonds. 1t provides for the levy
ing and assessment of any bond is
sue for war against the states as a
direct tax assessed against each in
dividual by the state. In other words
the individual would meet his tax
assessed by the state by buying
bonds. The plan is one which has
been advocated by Judge Walter l..
Smith.
1t is pointed out that it would OBJ
viate a lot of campaigning for the
sale of bonds. Judge Green said
there vas much sentiment for such
action in Iowa.

Sometimes suggestion comes by opposites The
Russian for tooth" is cub "Zub"-sounds .
bit like soup" You don't eat soup with your

Freakish and silly these links have
found them to hold excellently
And they are only needed at first. When the
mind has made the passage from 'glaz" to "eye"
several times by using the bridge "glass-eye,' it
dscards the bridge and leaps directly. But it is
good thing always to invent some connecting link
between what you want to remember and what is
already familiar.
Thus your memory becomes, so to speak, an or
ganic fabric, interviewer, and not merely as
loose pile of pebbles
All systems of minemoncs based on this
law of connection But the best system is one you
1evise for yourself.
When was boy learned the order Of the five
first books of the Bible from the nonsense word
Gend, composed of the initial letters of Genesis,
Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy; IN
like manner the five major prophets by the word
"Ijiled," and The minor prophets by the rigmarole
"Hojoam ObjOmina, Hazehazema," which words
made up OF the first syllables of the names Ho-
sea, Joel, Amos, and so 1t has been many years
ago, but have never forgotten these link-words;
perhaps for the reason that they freakish.
The main point is to take time and attention
and that the thing to be remembered is in
to some striking words objects

Sheer Vandalism.

Not satisfied with destroying enemy merchant
men and neutral merchantmen of enemy destina-
ton, Germany has turned her submarine savagery
against neutral merchantmen bound for their home
ports missions entirely peaceful. Such was the
wantonly atrocious character of the U-boat attack
on seven Dutch vessels, all in a single day. three
OF which sunk and the others well-nigh wholly
disabled. Most of these ships carrying food
supplies to Holland; none had contrabrand cargoes
remotely in the service of the Allies They
sailed from Falmouth, port of call, on February
%, relying upon assurances from Berlin that they
would be relatively safe in doing Yet, these
peacefur ships, engaged in feeding a neutral, I'M
offending people, we're torpedoed just though they
had been enemy cruisers
1t is impossible to paliate such outrages; it is
hard to explain them except the ground that
Germany is madly bent upon destroying all of the
worlds shipping she can and terrorizing all nations
into submitting to her piracy. There was no mil
itary gain whatsoever in sinking cargoes of wheat
intended for the Dutch people who grievously
in need of food staples. The act one of sheer
vandalism and ruthIessness. Whether Holland, ex-
posed as she is to German invasion like that which
put Belgium to the sword and TORCH will take any
positive steps toward requital very doubtful but
there should not be a moments doubt as to the
course the United States ought pursue as the one
powerful guardian of the rights of neutrality and
as an avowed upholder of civilization.

AIDED by German piracy. Hardly a vessel flying the
Stars and Stripes has sailed for Europe in the last
three weeks Americans whose business or family
interests constrain them to the Atlantic must
go on liners of the Entente nations IL they go at
all and must take the hazard of submarine murder.
The loss American business, if present conditions
continue, will be grievous indeed, but infinitely
greater will be the loss to American honor. III Con-
gress is to bubble while U-boats manace our com
merce and slay our citizens on the high then
nothing short of the bodest and most peremptory
exercise of power the Presidents part can save
the nation from unspeakable shame and disaster
The only apparent and plausible explanation of
the course which some Republicans and some Demo
Gratis in the House and the Senate pursuing is
that they consider the heart and conscience Oh the
American people so immersed in money and ease
as to be insensible issues of honor and right But
never we're politicians more stupidity mistaken. The
American people are peaceIoying but they are not
SO false to their fathers, nor so false to their
children to surrender olrthrlgnt OF
liberty for a mess of pacihst pottage. At
this crucial moment the rank and file of Americans
are as averse to buster to cringing; they
realize that the graver the danger, the cooler
should counsel be. But they are waiting eagerly
for some act the Capitol that will give life and
power to the words from the White House, some as
surance that the stars of their flag shall shine I'M
afraid and unsullied on land and sea.
We have borne everything for peace; it is time
to do something for honor. We have borne injury
and insult with marvellous self-control, sitting
every natural impulse that we might keep out of
war. But our tolerance and lohg-suffering has
awaited us nothing in true security, for while we
were most patient with Germanys outrages, she
was plotting our ruin through Mexico and Japan.
We have borne everything for peace; we have done
everything escape 1t is time to do something
to escape disaster and eternal disgrace
