gatlng the seed corn situation for the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defense, and thev urge seedsmen and farmers to take immediate steps anticipating this de- rand.
 Connecticut produced a fair crop of corn this year which matured suffi- ciently to make some good seed This was not true in many of the western states, even those lying directly in the corn belt. Many acres in Minnesota. | Wisconsin,, Michigan and other corn growing states are practically without seed and they are endeavoring to se- cure seed from Connecticut. 'It is important" say the experts from the college, that Connecticut take pains to fill their hand" There is no time to lose; get your seed corn now" is the slogan.
 The fallacy of going outside of the state for this years seed is pointed out. Home grown varieties are better adapted to our climate, are more sure to mature, and will yield as we'll, if not better than foreign seed, says a state ment issued few days ago by B. G. Southwick, Seed Agronomist, from ths
 
 agricultural college. He declares that most farmers plant a silage corn ot a variety too large and too late and would do better to use some of the dent varieties grown in the state Probably four-fifths of our farmers he says. "could use Connecticut growr seed advantageously for silage pur. poses.
 The numerous corn shows hold TO. gently, or scheduled for the next few weeks, have brought to light muck good seed. The Committee of Fco6 Supply is anxious that the farmers ol the state take particular pains to cap. italize the information which the County Agents and the State Agricui- tural College have accumulated in or der that Connecticut may have no diff f:culty when it comes time to plant corn next season.

GERMAN EMPEROR |ONCEMONARCHO OF
 THE NEW WORLD
Charles V As Charles I I,King of Spain, Once Claimed
 to Rule America

| It has often been said that the pres ent German emperor, in his ambition for territorial conquest, has looked with covetous eyes toward the shores 1 of the New World. He knows now
 that his ambition will never be realiz- ted but admitting that such a caIam-
 ity could have happened, it would not i have been the first time that America
 has been governed by a German em-
 peror.
 It was just 362 years ago today,
 Jan. IS, 1856, that Charles ", Emper-
 or of Germany, who, as Charles l.,
 was also King of Spain, abdicated the
 most powerful of the worlds thrones,
 and, placing the crown on the head Of
 his brother Ferdinand, retired to a
 monastery to spend his few remaining
 months in pious exercises and a vain
 attempt to make over hundred
 clocks keep the same time. He died
 in 1858, leaving a will in which he enjoined his sons to hunt out and destroy every heretic in his uom1n-
 ions," without exception and without
 mercy"
 Charles V. was the heir of four
 great royal clans, which had become
 united by a series of matrimonial al-
 dances. He inherited the thrones of Austria, of the Netherlands, of Spain and it's boundless possessions and of
 the kingdom of Naples. On the death
 of his grandfather, Maximilian, he
 was elected Emperor of Germany. On
 his arrival at manhood, Charles V. was the mightiest, wealthiest and in all l respects the worlds most powerful monarch.
 Before Charles V. was born Chris topher Columbus had discovered for
 him New World territories of vast ex- tent and fabulous wealth. Balboa took possession for him of the Pacific ocean. While the crown of the Ger
 ran Empire was being placed on his
 head, Magellan was on the epochal voyage which was to result in the cir cumnavigation of the globe. Corte2 vas engaged in the conquest of MeXi- co, and Pedrarias founded Panama The conquest of Peru by Pizarro, and ether parts of South America, were accomplished during his reign. It was Spain which gained the credit and the s glory and the profit from those New q World expeditions, but Charles, King < of Spain, was also Emperor of Ger a many. The reign of Charles was 9 marked by events of great importance q The Turks, now the allies of Germany q were then at the height of their pow 2 CT. Under Soliman the Magnificen the Moslem hordes advanced through Hungary to the very walls of Vienna while the fleets of Turkey commanded the Mediterranean. Charles strove tt be neither German, Spanish, Elem q ish, Italian, and as a result he wa q not very popular in any of the coun v tries under his dominion He wante' N to be the monarch of all Europe, bu A all his plans failed, and when at las q he put aside his crown he was a dis Fl appointed man.

WAR HORSES WILL
 BE CARED FOR BY RED STAR ORDER
Animals Will Have Services of Organization Similar
 to the Red Cross

At last the war horse has won rec Through the organization of the American Red Star Animal Relief, animals in the United States Army will receive similar care in war to that afforded humans by the American Red Cross. The Red Star was organ ized at the request of Secretary of War Newton D. Baker who wrote to Dr. W. O. Stillman, president Of the American Humane Association, sug- gesting the formation of such a soci- ety. MT. Baker wrote in part as fol- lows:
 "All countries in time of war must depend to a large degree on the volun- tary assistance of it's citizens, and es- pecially is this so in the care of the sick and wounded, both men and ami mals. The function of the American Red Cross is to assist the government ir' caring for the human sick and wounded. The American Humane As scciation could very well function in a similar manner in assisting the gov ernment in caring for the sick and wounded animals in it's armies. If your society will undertake this work, the War Department will be very glad to cooperate with you.'
 The Red Star is being developed rapidly by organization of branches and auxiliaries in all the large cities throughout the country. Many prom inent horsemen and several horse breeders associations have endorsed the work. The Shire Club of Chicago recently gave $500 to the Red Star. Taft, Roosevelt, Major-General Wood and other prominent men have heart il. endorsed the movement. Dr. Still r1an is director-general of the move ,ent. which has it's national head o,1orte in AIhanv N Y.

FEBRUARY OPPORTUNITIES

February so rich in birthdays, EN-
bracing as it does Lincoln's. Wash
ington's and others of note, should be
welcomed by the loyal teacher as an
opportune time to have patriotic exer'
cises that will impress upon her pupils
the value of the ideals and work these
great Americans lived and died for
and the duty deyolying upon this gen
Grafton of preserving invIolate these
ideals.
AS the February School Journal may
not reach teachers in time to help
them prepare for the celebration Of
Lincoln's birth anniversary, we are
giving selections in this issue that
may be used for 1t. In addition TO
these the teacher should have the
Gettsburg address and portions of the
First and Second Inaugural Addresses
read or recited.
In your February celebrations do
not neglect that of st. Valentines
Day. Have the children make dainty
valentines and see to it that each
pupil gets his fair share of them. DO
not permit the popular pupils to re
ceive many and those not so well liked
to be neglected and receive none.
The February School Journal will
have selections suitable for Washing
tons birthday and will reach you in
time to be of service in preparing for
that celebration.
Surely We cannot doubt the per
petuity of a nation which we have
seen founded and refunded in liberty
and union.
Sometimes a great man stands out
who helps to raise the feeling of his
people an dinspire them with his own
lofty thoughts and aims. Such men
were Washington and Lincoln, the for
mer more by his example than by his
words, the latter by both, yet most
by the quiet patience, dignity and help
fulness which he showed in the dark
est hours.
Nations respond to the appeal
which such a man makes to their best
instincts.
