As A MATTER OF NATIONAL
DEFENSE.

We must get all our credit into
liquid form and reduce to a mini
mum those forms OF credit which
are subject to the largest shrinkage
and are not available when immedi-
ate necessity calls for their use.
The form OF credit most rigid and
unavailable IL that extended by the
retailer TO the individual and we
earnestly recommend to the retailer
that he do his part In this national
emergency by placing his individual
credits on the following basis:
That his customers be required to
pay cash for foodstuffs and the daily
necessities OF the home: that all
other forms OF supplies purchased,
payment be required on the first of
the following month.
In this manner we do away with
the uncertainty of the longtime
credits so often granted by the re-
taller to his customer without any
proper basis for credit work or In
justice on either the buyer or seller,
and improve vastly the general tone
OF our crdits at time when we
should exert every energy to con
duct our business In an economical.
efficient manner.
State Food Administrators have
made the above recommendation
also and In compliance with It. !
shall grant no credit for more than
80 days. Those requiring more time
must give a note good at any Burns
Bank.

TREAT YOUR SEED
WHEAT BEFORE PLANTING

Probably the worst evil farm
ers who plant wheat have to
contend with is smut. Thou
sands OF bushels of grain are
lost annually as a result OF
smut. Smut is a disease of
wheat and can be prevented
absolutely. The method is to
treat the seed before planting.
Use blue-stone or fofmahehyde.
Make good wheat and help win
the war by treating your seed

you will do your part in making

present voluntary system of enlistment may
be replaced by universal conscription. I'm
der Brazils present methods each section
of the republic is called upon for pre-
scribed quota of men each year and con-
scription is employed only when there are
not enough volunteers, and then only to fill
the deficit
"Brazl's proposed second line Of defence
is to consist Of an army of 100000 men be-
tween thirty and thirtyseven, with detach-
ments in every city and town in the repub-
lie. These men are to be modified on a
footing, ready for service at moments
notice, though they are not to be kept con-
tinually under arms, the plan being to or
ganize them as home guard and permit
them to attend to their business affairs, de-
voting stated periods to drill.
"In addition to these two armies, there is
to be a reserve army, to be known the
National Guard, comprising men between
thirty and forty four. The officers of
this force are to be chosen from govern
ment administrative officers commercial
men and employees of industry, and a few
of these officers will be called upon in each
locality for auxiliary service in connection
with the administration of the permanent
army"
