KEEP SEED CORN SAFE

Seed corn may be left on the
racks where the ears have been
dried. But 1t is generally prefer
able, says the United States DE
partment Of Agriculture, to store
the ears IN mouse proof barrels,
boxes, or crates during the winter.
In any case they must not be ex
posed to dampness or they will alb
s0rb moisture aud be Injured.
After hanging in the drying
shed, or lying on the racks where
there in constant circulation Of
dry air for the frst two months
after they have been selected
from the stalks in the field, the
seed ears should be bone dry and
contain less than 10 per cent OF
moisture. Some farmers place the
thoroughly dry ears in the center
of . wheat bin, and then fiji The
bin with loose, dry wheat.
DESTROY WEEVILS AND
GRAIN MOTHS.
1t signs Of weeviIs or grain
moths show, the corn should be
inclosed with carbon bisulphid in
a practically alright room, bin,
box or barrel for 48 hours. The
liquid bisulphid should be placed
IN shallow dishes on top of the
box or barrel holding 10 bushels
or less. The fumes from the bi
sulphid are heavier than air and
gradually fall to the bottom OF the
receptacle, permeatlng the whole
mass. One pound Of the carbon
blsolphld is enough for a room OF
bin 10 feet IN each dimension.
After fumigatlon the ears must be
thoroughly aired, whereupon The
unpleasant odor disappears. Great
care should be used with carbon
bisulphid; its fumes are quite al
,Dfiammable AZ those from gaso
line.
To prevent the entrance OF wee
wills and moths, the ears may b.
stored IN comparatively cir tigh
boxes or barrels with one pound ol

MOURNING IN Time OF
WAR.

The suggestion - made by thu
Dry Goods Economist, that dur
ing war time women discard the
habit of wearing black for lost
friends. This is urged on the
ground OF scarcity of clothing ma
telials, and the depressing iDflu.
ence of black 10 a time of national
sorrow.
If many women must by mex,
year face the loss of their boys, q
large part of them would no doubt
like to put on black. In times OF
grief women feel certain reserve
about mingliDg with gay life.
The black dress Is q suggestion
that they are IN sorrow, and should
not be pressed into scenes or mer
riment
The wearing of black does tend
to set a person apart q little, and
it often makes women morbid.
They seek solitude and avoid their
friends too much. They get in a
habit of brooding and often be
come very abnormal. II would
have been much better if at the
start they could have plncked up
their courage and gone with their
friends.
Yet there is q question If, not
merely in war time, but always,
this attitude is not unwi0lesomt
and sometimes selfish. 1t does
creates an atmosphere Of gloom
Many men feeling this depressing
influence, tell their wives never to
put on black for them They hate
to leave behind this perpetual sng
gestion of funerals.
Few men wear black for be
reavament, though the custom 0l
wearing a black band on the arm
is common. Men feel sorrow a
much as women, yet are forced By
the pressure Of work to leave Il
all behind them, and 60 on day By
day as before. 1t is better fol
them and better for women to d.
so, and Of doubtful value to keeI
reminding others that their hearts
are grievinQ. 1t would not be th,
wish Of the soldier boy 9 whom v,
shall leave in France, that thei
bright home country should EN-
phaslze the sorrow 1t feels in any
external way.-Ex.

SUGAR FAMINE
IS PURELY LOCAL.
SAYSSPRECKEIS
Raw Product Now Going to
Canada Because of
Higher Price
BY Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 14.-Declaring
there is no shortage of sugar in the
United States and that the famine
is LOCAL to the Atlantic seaboard,
President Spreckels, of the Federal
Sugar Refining Company, testifying
to-day at the Senate committees in
Vestlgation placed the responsibility
on the food administration. Sugar. he
declared, was now passing through
New York for Canada because of
higher prices.
The sugar going through New
York, Spreckels said, was raw and
the Canadian refiners paid a higher
price.
I'VE entered into an agreement
with the food administration to pay
a certain price for raw sugars" said
Spreckels. I'VE adhered to that
agreement and the product normally
imported into this country went
abroad because better prices could
be obtained. We were forced to lose
our retineries for lack of supplies"
Mr.. Spreckels said there were still
100000 tons of last years crop un-
used and estimated the 1917-191S
crop, exclusive of that produced by
Germany, her aNies and Russia, as1.-
100000 tons in excess of the amount
produced in the same territory last
year.

REFUSE TO COST
THE CITY 100000
FOR COLLECTION
Council Lets Ash Problem
Drag While Processing
Great Optimism

While no official estimate has been
furnished city council of the prob
able cost of municipal ash collec-
tionS next year and private removal
of garbage by contract, in official
circles to-day it was said this cost
may be about 100000 for the first
year or the equivalent of the amount
of revenue raised by two mills of
the tax rate. 1t has been stated by
members of council that an increase
from nine to ten mills in the tax
rate is almost inevitable and the
problem which may confront the
officials will be to prepare n budget
and then count on eight mills for
revenue when the other two are
used to pay for the refuse collec-
tions.
Residents of the city realizing the
Importance of providing for the
collection work are looking forward
to the end of next month with ap-
prehension. While an estimate is
being prepared on the probable cost
of equipment and labor for ,mu-
nicipal ash collections so far nothing
definite has been done toward organ
iZing this branch of the work which
is to cost close to 100000.
Commissioner Morgenthaler said
to-day he expects to submit his esti
waite next week at the council ses-
sion at the same time recommended
tion is made for the award of a
garbage contract. Should it be ap-
proved and included in the budget
only six weeks remain until the
present contract for ash and gar
bage collection ends.
Excessively Optimistic
Some of the members of council
expressed confidence in not having
any difficulty when the contract ends
next month but persons who suffered
the intolerable conditions of last
winter with backwards piled high

GIVES HIS ESTATE To

! LONDON, Oct. 25.-ColoneI Sir Ar
thur Hamilton Lee, who married Miss
Ruth Moore, daughter of j. G. Moore.
o. New York, in giving his country
saet THE Chequers' to the nation as
residence for British Prime Min
lister, makes it a condition that he aud
Lady Lee may if they desire, remain
in occupation as tenants of the trus-
tees as long as they shall live
THE Chequers" estate covers 1900
acres. is the reputed birthplace of
Caractacus, in the year 1, and has re-
cords dating back to the reign of
Henry, the Second, when it was the
residence of Elias de Scarrio, Chan
Icellor of the Exchequer. The house
is Tudor in origin and design, was
largely built in 1866 and restored in
1909 Sir Arthur in his bequest asks
that no alteration or addition be made
to the principal features of the house,
as he wishes to protect it against such
outrages as were inflicted on it by
the ''late Georgian Goth and Vandals.'
In memorandum outlining the con-
ditions of the trust which is being
created under the Prime Minister,
Sir Arthur says that the scheme is not
a mere whim, but carefully consid-
cred policy based on long experience
political life and official conditions.
and of the beneficial effect that the
climate and atmosphere at The
Chequers' invariably exercise on hard
working men of affairs.
He has foreseen that it is impos-
sble to foretell from what classes or
conditions of life the future wielders
Of power in this county will be drawn.
They may be men of wealth AMI
famous descent, thew may belong to
tile world of trade, or they may spring
from the ranks of manual toilers. He
believes that the city-bred man, tired
OF contact with rural life would
help him to preserve a just sense Of
proportion between the claims of town
and the country, while to the revo-
dictionary, the antiquity and calm tena-
city Of the place would exercise a
check upon the too hasty upheavals.
Sir Arthur also lays down the maxim
The better the health of our rulers
the more sanely they rule"
In order to preserve the trust in
perpetuity, steps have been taken to
constitute board of ex-offfcio trustees
with the Prime Minister at the head.
"Chequers" is situated, on Coombe
Hill, the highest point Of the Chilaerns,
is SO miles from Hyde park corner
and is about one hours rail Quincy
from London
