SEED CORN QUESTION is
SERIOUS SAYS FARRAND.

Mr. Farrard, County Agricultural
Agent wishes again to call attention
to the serious situation concerning
seed corn for next year in this coun-
ty He says:-"I ask that all far
mers who have we'll matured corn,
get hundreds of bushels of seed be-
fore the corn is cut and put in the
shock. Put this in dry and airy
place so termination will be assured.
Calls will come into this county from
other county agricultural agents for
seed corn next year and it is quest
ionable whether there will be enough
to supply the needs of this country"
Mr.. Farrand further added that,
"High schools in the county who
have boys that are not working
could do a great service by sending
an instructor with a number of boys
into well matured corn fields and cut
large quantities of seed corn for cur
ing. No greater service could be
done than this type of work"

Dear Folks:

Dear Folks:
To sister Helen, Birthday greetings!
Your letter came when | was in the
hospital and while l am out now,
still | am not well yet, the water here
being strongly alkaline. 1t does not
agree with my stomach and has left
me very weak and unable to eat
very much. AS Grant wrote in his
letter | want some candy and pie
(Mince) you do not need to put them
in tins, just pack them so they won't
shuck around in a box and they will
come alright. 1t is hard to write of
the camp life, as it is so nearly all
the same thing Drilling" Seven
and one half hours daily of it. Moral
conditions here are very good and we
have a Y. NJ. c. A. branch for each
regiment and have church every Sun
day at ten A. M.
That you may get better idea of
our schedule | am going to send you
our paper which gives an outline of
our training. Our drill fields are the
best of any / have seen as yet, they
are very hard and level which aids a
great deal in getting uniform lines,
etc. the soil is only about five or six
inches deep and then you strike the
white adobe clay common to this
country, this is very detrimental to
trench digging but it makes good
hard muscle. The clay resembles
white sandstone except it is of finer
texture.
We have electric lights throughout
the camp, the power coming from
Ft. Worth.

MET TO BOOST FOR THE SECOND
LIBERTY LOAN. PAW PAWS
SHARE OF LOAN is $4,000.
SPEAKER BEEN OVER The TOP
Corporal Arlington Related His Ex-
periences. Twice Wounded i'm the
Trenches. Local Com. Appointed.

A meeting in the interests of the
Second Liberty Loan campaign was
held Monday evening in the Maple
City club rooms. This meeting was
in accordance with the request of
Governor Sleeper that each voting
precinct in the state should have some
appropriate exercises pointed toward
enlightening the people toward the
necessity of cooperation on the part
of all the people in the great Liberty
Loan campaign which the United
States is now engaging in.
The local meeting, though the at
tendance was not large due to the
short notice under which it was
necessary to advertise the same, was
one of special value to the community
and the cause for which it was held.
The speakers of the evening were
Rabbi Flurri of Grand Rapids and
Corporal Arlington, member of the
Canadian Expeditionary Force who
has just returned from the French
front.
Mr.. Cavaraugh acted as chairman
of the meeting and preliminary to the
introduction of Rabbi Flurri told of
the amount which has been assessed
to this county as we'll as this town.
The amount for the former is $798,
100000 while that for the city SIS,
10000.
Rabbi Flurri emphasized the neces-
sity Of the loan if our troops are to
be properly equipped and furnished
stating that upon this depended
whether the armies which we are
now raising and training would re-
turn or not. Lack Of equipment has
been prevalent in the Allied armies
and it depends now upon the United
States to place troops in the field
capable of withstanding the German
attacks without such great losses in
man power. This can be brought
about only in case the people sub
scribe to the Liberty Loan and fur
nish the government the necessary
funds to procure the necessary pro-
lection for its troops, according TO
Rabbi Flurri.
Corporal Arlington denounced the
German method of warfare in most
vehement terms. He told vividly of
the atrocities of the foe and urged the
necessity of better equipment for the
American troops than those at the
disposal of our allied armies. The
speaker was choked with emotion as
he described the treatment of prison
ers at the hands of the German sold
iers. He related his experiences in
"going over the top" and carries a
bullet wound in the face and Grip
pied arm as the result.
T. J. Cavaraugh, chairman of the
meeting was authorized to name a
committee of five to assist in the local
drive, and has announced the follow
ing committee:-Glenn f. Warner,
VIM. H. Longwell, Frank n. Wake
man, VIM. r. Sellick and Rev. C. H.
Heaton.

The sowing of fall rye is begin
ming to attract attention in this
locality and its advantages appear
to be worth while. The grain is a
good price. and the yield is usually
as good as any other. and it gets
the benefit of maturing earlier
than spring grain. The latter
point is one of considerable i'm
portanoe sometimes, because the
earlier maturity often escapes a
