.START RIGHT NOW
WHEN

AS soon as ears are ripe and
hard-before heavy frosts
and autumn rains injure the
kernels for seed. The day
the ears are selected they
should be hung where they
will become thoroughly dry

HOW

Pick best ears from plants
showing best yields in fair
competition with neighbor-

plants with hanging ears
give best seed. Long ears
with large, uniform kernels
are best. Avoid sappy ears

You have made sacrifices in the past; we know that you will still make sacrifices to preserve your freedom, won at such a high cost Now comes the test. You must make sacrifices. You must strug gle until your liberty is secure. Wa have faith that Russia will do this"
 The mayor in reply, said: Russia welcomes Americas assistance in her present period of infirmity and eco homie exhaustion"
 He concluded with eulogy of Pres ident Wilson, saying:
 The aims of the war, the definition of the problem standing before hu- manity have been given by your pacif- ist, President Wilson. who, in pre- serving the ideal of peace, had realized the vital importance of the struggle. His way of speaking appeals to us."
 On motion of the mayor, the meeting unanimously decided to send a tele- gram to President Wilson, thanking him for sending the Root commission to Russia.

 The Alabama Pea club is making steady progress. Applications are com ing in every mail. and the seed are being mailed out to the members.

 PURIFOY IS ACTIVE
 The story is out. John Purifoy. quad rehnial candidate for public office, is turning heaven and earth to put himself before the people as a candidate for gov ernor For many months cards bearing his likeness with American and Confed- crate flags entwined above his head and carrying the words The Next Gov ernor of Alabama" have been distributed through the state. It mad been thought admiring friends were giving him this publicity but now it develops that letters going from his office as secretary of state carry the same cards.
 Judge Purifoy has started no active c4njpaign This isn't his way of doing. He uses a gum shoe method which has never failed him in the past. He never fails to let the people know that he was Confederate soldier and the people have net failed in the past to honor Confederate soldier when possible.
 HOW IT LOOKS
 Students of things political profess to believe that the contest for governor will be between Thomas E. Kilby and Will liam w. Brandon, with possibility that friends of John H. Wallace may force him to the front. For several weeks MT. Brandon's announcement has been ex- pected but the latest report about it is that it will not be made until fall be- cause the people are more interested Tn the war than they are in political mat ters. Mr. Wallace is spending much time on his camping now and literature is being distributed throughout the state. MT. Kilby has been using the newspa- pers and distributing information among his friends.

Legislature Must Convene if 10000 Soldiers Are to
 Vote in Primary
GOV. HENDERSON
 SAID TO FAVOR MOVE
Constitutional Amendment Would Have to Be Submitted-Judge Pur- ifoy Grooming to Enter Race
 for Chief Executive
By FRED n. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, June 2-(Special. )-If America is still in the war when the Alabama campaign is started in full force next year Governor Henderson will be besieged with requests for a special session of the legislature so a consti- tutional amendment may be submitted permitting soldiers in the service of the state and nation may participate in the primary of August and the general elec- tion of November Unless a constitu- tional amendment is adopted, between 15000 and 25,O0O men who would other wise be eligible will be disfranchised because of their inability to return to Alabama from Somewhere in France" or Somewhere in America"
 HENDERSON FAVORS PLAN
 Governor Henderson always looks with favor upon any reasonable request of soldier, and there is little doubt that he will call the extra session and have the amendment submitted if the financial condition of the state will permit. In doing this, he would inaugurate a sys- tenn which has proved successful in other states. Many soldiers on the Mex jean border last year cast their ballots and had them delivered to their home states by special messengers. Alabama soldiers stood by, but could not partic- { pate in the election simply because no plan had ever been worked out. No one Never thought such would be necessary until the troops were mobilized last year.
 WOULD COST $2O,0O0
 Estimates are that an election would cost the state about $20,000 while the to- tai expense of adopting the amendment probably would be $50,0O0 due to the ne- cessty for assembling the legislators. But the fact that otherwise thousands of men who have participated in eec- tions of the past would be disfranchised probably would cause the governor and legislators to believe such expenditure is no more than fair. The disfranchisement of from 15,000 to 25,00O men would upset the political equilibrium of the state as the two factions of the democratic party are practically evenly divided-less than 10,000 votes carry the election.
