CLEAN SEED GRAIN.

Only the best seed should be sown.
To secure the best seed it must be
cleaned. In running the seed
through the tanning mill, weed seed,
chaff, broken straws, light, shrunken
kenrenls and most of the weak and
diseased kernels can be removed
Sometimes it pays to run the seed
grain through the tanning mill sever
al times. This insures sowing seed
that will produce vigorous plants and
the rest can be used for other pur-
poses. Increases of 2 to, bushels
per acre are often obtained from
sowing clean, large seed Now is a
good time to clean that seed so that
it will not have to b. done in the
rush of spring seeding which often
means that it is not done at all -

Dear Sir:
just few lines about our tri,.
We were called out of Great Lakes
the Sunday before Xmas, and made q
roundabout trip to Charleston.
Passed through Illinois, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, and ] suppose they
took that route for safety. During
Xmas eve we rode through only neoro
districts, and a real warm summer
day.
thad thought that that country was
thrifty, prosperous one, but all the
smaller towns were everything but
showing thrifty community. The
lew farms were miles apart and then
stretch of good timber, but no signs
OF any saw mills were to be seen.
We stopped at Birmingham, Ala
for short drill, and reached Charles
ton Navy Yard Tuesday evening.
i thought l would see some "Sunny
South" weather, but it showed and
became very cold the same night we
arrived, and none of us could keen
warm. 1t has been very cold for q
week and still SHOWS. That is diff.
ferent from the weather thought
would be here. The newspapers say
it's the coolest it has been here in 81
years so this is most likely exception.

face the facts as they are.
It is better that lives be lost than
that the women and children of Am

children of the invaded countries

Let us cease criticism. Let us for

Liberty Priceless.
Life is precious, but life without
liberty is a farce.
AS the military powers of Germany
have done to other nations, so would
they DO to US. Ruined towns and viz
ia es and farms; women taken into
bondage and worse. Never! We are
fighting for our homes and our land /.
WIN America stand the test? Yes,
and out of it will come the great,
strong giant known as the power that
has saved civilizations: that has made
it possible for the poor and the hum

Press forward, oh soul Of America
AS we love our country may We set
aside every feeling of self; may we
devote every power of our being to
the cause Of our nation.
My fire is burning low and must
say good night to my readers. In q
few days we shall say goodby to Eng.

anything in the world?

A Pioneer of the Sea.

The kings recent visit to Port Glas.
gov recalls fact in the history OF
ships and shipbuilding which has a
particular interest at the present time
AS everybody knows, observes the
Montreal Herald, 1t was from Port
Glasgow that the first steamer ever
built, the Comet, owner Henry Bell
was launched in 1917. She was 80
ton vessel with IN engine Of three
horse power, and was found to be sc
successful that within the next two
years two larger craft were construct
ed. One Of these was the Marjery
and from the Clyde the Marjery was
transferred to the Thames, and piled
between London and Gravesend dur
ing the first months of 1915. But she
was viewed with disfavor by the
Thames Waternen. She was very
much of a novelty, and they were sus-
piciouS of novelties; besides. they con
sidered that this Scotch-built boat In
terfered with their rights. SO the
Martery left the Thames for the
Seine; her owners having sold her to
q French company. To reach the Seine
she had to cross the channel. and she
was thus the first steamer to do so.

No period in the life of young
woman (from the Dress point of
view is more important than when
she enters the social activities of
her world as debutante.
Her attire must reflect the spirit
OF nervousness and girlish naivete
the becoming attributes of youth
simplicity and a chaste and mod
est bearing.
The "Jeune File" Chambers
mark distinctly the line between
over-sophisticated, mature types of
dress and the proper fashions for
the younger set as interpreted by
BonWlt Teller & Co.
The refreshing verve and esprit of
these fashions for misses do come as
relief to the hackneyed concep-
tons that are popularity accepted.
Here are modes that are individ-
ualistic to the most devele ped de-
gree. Themes that are studiously
conceived to type, that appreciate
the personality, the contour, the
mood and manner of the one who
is to wear them.
From her tailleur to her Coming
out gown, the most comprehensive
range of fashions is suggested. And
each selection will carry the thought
OF an original and pleasing idea.
