them again on their way toward Camp

IS. To Stop AT Nothing But
An Unconditional
Surrender

Declaring that he did not believe
the masses of people in Knox county
realized the seriousness and stupen.
dOusness of the present great war,
Columbus Ewalt, chairman of the 10.
cal exemption board, explained to the
members of. the Chamber of Com.
merce at their MONDAY luncheon
Wednesday, that the government of
the United States has a better right
to the services of any man living
within its borders than has any of the
mans relatives.
In speaking of the new man-power
law which requires registration on
September II, Mr.. Ewalt stated that
all men not registered or not actually
In the military service, who have
reached their 18th birthday and who
have not reached their 46th birthday
on or before Sept. II. must register.
He further said that the estimates
placed the number registering in this
county at 5000.

tural claims presented and went on
to- say that in France, there is not an
ablebodied man on any farm between
the ages of II and 40, and yet the
farms are being titled as they never
were before.
All men in the United States today,
Mr.. Ewalt said, are gradually being
weeded out into three classes First,
the fighters; second. those producing
munitions; third, those producing
food. He then stated that it was the
supposition that the barber would
soon be ousted from deferred classi.
fication.
In closing, Mr.. Ewalt declared that
the government had gone into this
war to win, that it would not stop
fghting on the terms of so.called
honorable peace, but that it would on.
ly stop at an unconditional surrender
by the Huns.

HELPFUL HINTS ON
GROWING CORNC|VEu.
OUT BY COUNTY ACT.
S. L. Anderson Tells How To
Increase Acreage
OF Corn

County Agent S. l.. Anderson has
prepared the following as a help to
those growing corn and who are hav.
ing trouble with it. Mr.. Anderson
has studied the corn-g growing game,
not only in books. but in a practical
way, and the following may be found
invaluable In growing corn.
COrn-grOwing experts have recon-.
mended for years that seed corn be
selected from the standing stalk early
and hung up to dry. They have found
that by following this method, they
have increased the acre yield from 3
to 5 bushels In single year. II also
is the best insurance against the lack
OF seed when planting time comes.
Despite these long published recon.
we see great many al
ready cutting corn from which much
seed could be picked. 1t seems to me
they are losing great opportunity to
improve the future crops and to pro-
tect themselves against such Il situa.
ton as we had last year and do have
every few years.
There Is plenty of good seed corn
In the county to plant 1t next year II
It Is properly selected and cared for.
Now is the time for the fellow who
has no prospects OF seed in his own
cornfiedls to look for It with some of
his more fortunate neighbors.
