ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
SAVING SEED

It is the opinion of some citizens
of the United States who are in a
position to know, that there is apt
to be shortage of seeds for garden
planting next spring. There was a
great demand this year and will be a
larger demand next. Many of our
seeds are imported and the war in
Europe has cut down the supply of
these seeds. Even now it is az hard
matter to get seeds of some things
that one wishes to plant. When they
can be obtained they are high in price
and often of questionable quality.
As a general rule we are not advis-
ing our readers to save seeds, for the
seed men who make business Of
growing seed generally produce a
better product than can be grown on
the farm. Certain soils and local.
ties are especially adapted to grow
ing of seeds and large crops are
grown under these conditions. But
this year the possible scarcity of seed
makes it advisable for our readers to
produce their own.
The first general advice to be Civ
en- in seed saving is to select for the
whole plant. Pick out plant that
is healthy and free from disease and
shows a strong growth and save all
the seed produced on that plant.
For early crops save the plants that
produce the first fruits and seed,
provided the plant is good and pro-
life.
Almost everyone knows how to
save the seeds of beans and peas.
When the pods are ripe they should,
be gathered and the sseeds removed.
The great trouble with the seeds in
the South is that they are often in
Tested with weevils. The weevils are
in the seeds when they are gathered
and a treatment with bisulphide Of
carbon should be given. Place the
seeds in tight box, on top of them
place small saucer and in this put
about one-tenth ounce Of the car
bon bisulphide per cubic foot, then
close the box. Allow the seed to be
exposed to the fumes "a hours. Keep
fire, candles and lighted matches
away from the box, as carbon BIZ
sulphide is highly explosive.

Working Daily.

The Dresden Red Cross Chapter is
putting in every minute each day
now making garments and articles
for the soldier boys soon to be called
to the front. The work room is in
the courthouse and a great deal of
needed articles could be turned out
if the ladies but had the money with
which to purchase the material. 1t
is the impression of many that the
fund collected here some months ago
was turned over to the local chap
ter, but this is true in part, as only
25 per cent of this fund goes to the
local organization; and this small
amount was soon used up in pur-
chasing material. The ladies are do
ing their work gratis, of course, but
they cannot give their time and then
be expected to purchase their mate
rial.
These ladies deserve to be encour-
aged in their noble, patriotic, unself-
ish efforts, and those of US who car
ny the pocket books ought to loosen
up the purse strings. Before very
long some of our boys will be at the
fornt; some of them may need just
what these Red Cross ladies propose
and it would be sad COM
mentary if we did not provide~the
material for the making of these gar
ments.

like are easily saved. Take them out
of the fruits and dry them. If clean
seeds are desired, the scoopings from
the melons may be allowed to fer
ment for a day or so and then the
seeds can be washed out.
Tomato seed are easily saved.
Take the ripe fruit and mash it up;
then wash out the seed with clean
water and put aside to dry. Cleaner
seed can be had if the pulp of the
: fruit is allowed to ferment for a
day or more.
|, Lettuce seed can be readily saved.
1t has a tendency to shatter and
when it begins to do this in any guam
tity the plant may be taken up and
laid on a paper where all the seeds
will ripen. They can then be thresh-
ed out. Don't use the best lettuce
plants for the table and save seed
from the poor ones.
Cabbage planted in the fall will
make seed the following season. If
a cabbage head is too hard and the
seed stalk has trouble in getting
through, splitting the head with a
sharp knife will help matters along.
Onion sets planted in the spring
will produce seed in the South by
fall. Large onions set in the spring
will also make a good crop of seed.
Many of the root crops will stay
in the ground all winter and make
seed the following season. Where
these seed begin to shatter it is well
to treat them like lettuce.
All seeds should be stored in an
airy place. Light does not harm
them, but moisture will: If it gets
too dry the seed may beinjured, but
generally moisture is the troublesome
factor. Seeds put in little muslin
bags and hung from rafters keep
well. Our readers should save their
garden seed this year. After saving
seed for a few years it is advisab lie
to get new seed from some of the
seed men, as garden plants quickl y
run out and the average man has no t
time or the knowledge necessary ttl
prevent this running out and keep
the seed up to the standard.

Mr.. Owen Visits Dresden.

Col. W. A. Owen, of Covington, who
is candidate for the democratic
nomination for a place on the court
of civil appeals, spent several hours
in Dresden on last Friday mingling
with the citizens and meeting the
voters. Mr.. Owen was pressing his
claims for the nomination to the of
flee which he seeks. He is lawyer
of reputation and stands high in the
esteem Of his home people, which fact
is attested to by book of testimo-
mails which Mr.. Owen is circulat-
ing.

An interesting statement was
made in regard to advertising
by one of the prominent men
of the country, the late Mr..
Post, the breakfast food man.
Shortly before his death sever
al years ago, he was asked to
what he attributed his great
success, and he frankly explain
ed it was due to advertising.
He left an estate valued at
more than $40, 100000.
Post was probably not entirely
generous with himself, for his
indefatigable efforts had much
to do with this success. At the
same time, Mr.. Post sounded
the keynote when he said that
advertising was the means of
success.
Several years ago a gum trust
was organized, and Wrigley, of
Chicago, was eliminated. He
declared that he would fight
the trust if it took every cent
in his possession.
"What will you fight With"
someone asked.
With an assured confidence of
success, Wrigley answered,
"With advertising" The re-
suit is we'll known. Wrigley
weathered the vicissitudes, and
others one by one, have drop
ped out of sight.
1t is interesting to watch the
moving picture screen showing
scenes in foreign lands and to
note how often the Coca-Cola
sign appears on the blank walls
in countries as far, away as

WHAT THREE GREAT BUSINESS men DID
BY PERSISTENT ADVERTISING

India and the nations of South
America.
1t pays to advertise. The wise
man cannot afford not to adj
vertise.
The late Sol Coleman, of Mem
phis, began business, it might
be said, with a shoestring.
Every dollar that he earned he
put into advertising. Degree
by degree business picked up,
and as the profits increased so
did his advertising. Mr.. Cole
man was genius when it came
to writing ads. He had con-
tagious style that quickly af-
fected the public. The result
was that he built up great
business.
Several years ago the New York
Herald probed this subject to
the core and interviewed the
successful men of the country,
and there was not a dissenting
voice in regard to the value of
advertising.
Of course, some had other rea-
sons to offer, but the essential
point was advertising was the
foundation upon which their
business success was base
1t is an old saying that great
oaks from little acorns grow"
and this is true Of any business
industry. It cannot be made
self-sustaining without adroit
advertising.
Advertising means success.

Smithport, Dec. 17.-Frank De-
mars is in serious condition as a
result Of an assault by L. w. Jen-
nings and two of his sons. Mr.. De-
mars is constable Of this place and
went to the Jennings place to serve
an order on the latter. restraining
him from removing hay from an
other mans place. Whereupon he
was set upon by Jennings and his
two sons, who beat him with club
until he is in an awful condition.
He managed to get to the resi-
dence of Mrs. R. Farrar, who is an
experienced nurse, who, with the aid
of her daughter, Mrs. Kucken, dress
ed his wounds and got the blood, in
some measure, washed away after
which he tainted, probably from loss
of blood. Public feeling is at fever
heat over the matter and is liable
to result in summary action on the
part of the settlers, as Jennings and
his oldest son have not conducted
themselves in the most exemplary
manner for some time.
