 There is no question but what Windharn county produces much. corr that is of. the finest type. This be- ing so, it seems very poor policy foi farmers to buy seed corn at a dis tance, or fto use corn for seed which has eben. grown under conditions o soil and 'climate very much different from those in which the corn is to be planter.

GROWING a Character.

Character is what you are. Repu-
tation is what folks think you are.
Sometimes they are SO well balanced
that you can't tell one from the 9TH
er, says Grit. But more often the one
is a libel on the other. Folks exalt
virtues that do not exist and condemn
follies that are purely subjective and
personal. Much depends on who re-
ports you. Friends are always chart
table and interpret our lives to best ad-
vantage. Enemies can see no good In
us and report as they see. So repu-
tation may datter or condemn. Not
so with character. This is something
beyond external observation. 1t is the
life itself as lived amidst It's motives
and obstacles. Few people can know
it's real value, for even you do not al
ways know just what you are capable
of being until the emergency demands
display your worth. What you are in
the face of severe testing is charactei

University Functions.

What is the matter with our univer-
stiles is that all the students are
schoolboys, whereas it is of the very
essence of university education that
they should be men, writes. George
Bernard Shaw. The function of uni
versity is not to teach things that can
now be taught as well or better by
university extension lecturers or by
private tutors or modern correspond
ence classes with gramophones. We
go to them to be socialized; to acquire
the hall mark of communal training |:
to become citizens of the world in
stead Of inmates of the enlarged rab-
bit hutches we call homes; to learn
manners and become interchangeable
ladies and gentlemen. The social pres
sure which effects these changes
should be that of persons who have
faced the full responsibilities Of adults
as working members of the general
community, not that Of barbarous rab-
BILE of half emancipated schoolboys and
unemancipatable pedants.

CALLS BOYS TO THE COLORS
President Wilson Asks All Between
Ages of Sixteen and TWenty-Cne
to Join Working Reserve.

Young men of the country between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, not
now employed, are called upon by
President Wilson to serve the nation
by joining the United States Boys
Working reserve. In a letter made
public by Secretary Wilson of the la
Dor department, the president says It
is the patriotic duty Of these young
men to use their spare time in produc-
tive work and help support the nation
in the present Crisis. The presidents
letter follows:
Permit me to express my great ap-
probation Of the great work underta-
ken by the United States Boys Work
ing reserve Of the employment service
of the department Of labor. To give to
the young men between the ages of six
spending their spare time in productive
enterprises without interrupting their
studies at school, while their older
brothers are battling in the trenches
and on the seas, must greatly increase
the means of providing for the forces
at the front and the maintenance of
thoes whose services are needed here.
It is a high privilege, no less than
patriotic duty, to help support the ma
ton by devoted and intelligent work in
this great crisis.
"Let me express the hope that the
young men of the country not now per-
manently employed may eagerly enter
the Boys Working reserve to fit them
selves by training and study for good
citizenship and productive service. In
this way they can show themselves
worthy Of patriotic fathers who have
fought for democracy in the past, sus-
tain their patriotic brothers who are
fighting for it today, and command the
affectionate pride of the brave mothers
who are silently bearing the burdens
at home"

Reads Like Fiction.

One of the most unusual SalvageS
yet recorded in these days Of Subma-
rine warfare, says Popular Science
Monthly, is that of the Norwegian
steamship Kongsli, whose cargo Of
grain swelled to such an extent on the
thrush of water through the ragged
hole torn in her side by torpedo, that
the hole was clogged up and the water
prevented from flowing in and sinking
her.
A party of fishermen, clambering
aboard to discover the trouble, were
amazed to find that the ragged hole on
one side and hull plates torn loose opn
the other by the force of the explosion
had been effectively plugged by the
swollen grain. The fishermen were
afraid to attempt to tow her because
the rush of the water along her sides
might have washed away the effective
grain seal. Accordingly, they impro-
vised bales made of cotton filled with
grain and forced these into the holes.
This made the stoppage secure enough
to enable the vessel to be tOwed to q
nearby port.
