FOR THE OLD RED, WHITE AND
BLUE"

Does your heart thrill with joy when
the red, white and blue,
Waving high in the air smiles it's
greeting to you?
Would you fight for that flag, the
banner of the brave,
For which our fathers have fought.
tho it led to the grave?
Does "The Star Spangled Banner" ="
our national refrain,
AS the bank softly plays, make it's
pleadings in vain?
Yes, our boys will all respond to our
nations call to arms.
They'll Drcavely answer Ready" D."
when comes wars first dread
alarms,
In the training camps he'll drill, in
a khaki suit of tan,
And God will smile upon him. for he
proved himself man.
And when the war is over, and they
come back once more,
Twill be a glad reunion, still happier
than before.
1t may be a wooden leg, or an empty
sleeve we view,
But twill serve to prove he fought.

CLEAN GRAIN BINS ANNUALLY
Most of the Injury Dsns ny Insects
Can Be Prevented-Spray With
Kerosene Emulsion.

By cleaning bins carefully each year
before new crop Is placed In them,
most of the injury due TO stored-grain
insects can be prevented. A million
dollars more might be saved annually
in Ohio If these pests were destroyed.
After the grain bins are swept out
they should be sprayed thoroughly
with 10 per cent kerosene emulsion.
This destroys the eggs and insects that
otherwise would infest the new crop.
The bins will be ready for the new
grain within q week after treatment.
About 2S4,00O,O0O bushels of corn,
oats and wheat were produced in Ohio
in 1916, according TO the year book of
the United States department of agri-
culture. A conservative estimate made
by entomologists of the Ohio agricul-
tural experiment station is One-half Of
1 per cent injured. his makes the
annual damage ar Junt to approx
mately million dollars for this state
alone from insect depredations in
stored grain.
Several beetles, weevils and moths
infest cereals and other stored prod
ucts. Many of these insects are also
accompanied by mites.

BOARDS ARE MORE EFFICIENT
This Is Explanation Given by British
Officer of Acceptance for Service
of Men Once Rejected.

In a recent investigation by a COM
mittee from the house of commons,
Gen. Sir Alfred Keogh. director general
of the British army medical service, de-
clared that while the department had
been laboring under difficulties i'm
posed by the lack of experienced army
examiners. he was aware of no irregu-
larities In the examination of men I'M
der the military service (review Of
Gxceptions) act.
when the war broke out men were
taken for medical examination to To-
cal practitioners, who could not pos
Sibly know the requirements of the
service" he said, "and the consequence
was that q large number of men was
recruited whom the authorities would
not have thought of considering in
peace times"
With such a corps of examiners,
Sir Alfred declared, it was impossible
TO attain a common standard. and this
explained the fac that frequently men
rejected by one BARD were accepted
by another. "'Many men were pass
ed who ought not to have been pass
ed" he admitted, "but, on the other
hand, a great number of men were
rejected who ought to have been pass
ed under the category system. 1t was
very difficult to get the medical practi-
TONERS to understand that q man who
could do anything in, civil life could
n in
The fact that the proportion of men
passed by later boards, after having
been rejected by examiners at the be-
ginning Of the war, steadily has in
creased during the war, Sir Alfred at
tributed to the increased efficiency of
the boards, but vehemently denied that
there had been any lowering of the
standard for acceptance.

RUSSIA CLOSE TO ENGLAND
Foundation for Intimate Relationship
Laid by Royal Marriage in the
Eleventh Century.

Does Elihu Root know Russian? By
no means. But the knowledge of Eng
lish is so widespread among the edu-
Gated classes of Russia that we begin to
understand the reports about the en-
thusiastic reception of our ambassa-
doris eloquent address by his audiences
In Petrograd and Moscow, says an ex-
change.
There is not notable play or novel
produced in London which is not acted
or read in Russia. The Russian in
tellegenzia knows not only French and
German, but also English history and
literature thoroughly.
Glytha, the daughter Of King Har-
old who was slain at Hastings QO66)
through her marriage with the Rus
sian Prince Of Tchernigoff laid the
first foundation to the close relation
ship between Great Britain and the en-
pire of the cars. The real English
"discoverer" of Russia is, of course,
Richard Chancellor, who, through his
voyage to Moscow IN 1853, established
solid commercial connections between
the two countries.
And why should we not be remind
ed, on this occasion, of the interesting
fact that Peter the Greats mother was
brought up in Scottish household?

Aroentine's Wheat Crop.

Reports from the Argentine state
that weather conditions are ideal for
the growth Of wheat. The official pre-
liminary estimate is for crop of 240,-
100000 bushels. The large crop Of
1915-16 was 173,OOO,OOO bushels, and
the average for the FIVE preceding
years was 100000 bushels. Domes-
tic requirements are about 100000
bushels. The large crop now growing
will be available some time after Janu-
airy if transportation Is furnished.
The Argentine oats crops is estimat-
ed at 100000 bushels, or 100000
bushels more than the crop of 1915, of
which 100000 bushels were exported.

RENEW THIN PASTURE SPOTS
Little Seed Scattered Over Weak
Places Every Spring and Then
Narrowed Will Aid Greatly.

There are weak spots in almost all
pasture fields which do we'll when re-
seeded. A little seed scattered every
spring over these thin spots and har-
rowed in with the harrow teeth set at
q slant Of about 40 degrees, will help
these spots greatly.
A top dressing of fine stable manure
has stimulating effect on such re-
tarded grasses. 1t is unreasonable to
think that pasture land will produce
profitable pasturage ON year TO year
without anything to rejuvenate il.
Pasture land needs renewing as well
as other farm land.

What One Knot Faster Would Mean

'For every soldier that we land in
France" says the Scientific American,
''25 tons of shipping must pillow back
and forth at steady ten knots 70

men this means 100 ships-a number
that we would be hard pressed to find.
And this means curtailment OF the
vital supplies to our allies.
snow, could the average speed Of
this fleet be raised TO IL knots and
could the time in port be reduced 10
per cent, we could release for other
service some 10000 tons of shipping.
In other words, we could create i'm
medtately that amount Of extra ton
mage and add 1t TO our merchant ma
rine, not in 1913 but today. And to-
day may be the day, the real Day. the
day the balance will spring"

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
UP a corn or caIlus so Ii lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens SO it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
Is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

That the automobile stolen from j.

by one of the many bands of automo-

had all ben used up and all four tires
on the machine were fat 1t had been

when a search was made of it two
dozen shells loaded with black powder
and shot were found hidden under the

possible that the automobile may have
been used in one Of the automobile
bandit raids in Chicago on last Sat
urday night. The Chicago police have
been notified of the discovery Of the
shells in the car.
