In general way we hear that a
million dollars has been appropriated
for this or for that necessary article,
without seriously considering Just
what big sum of money this is. The
average man has dealt most of his Gfs
with thousands, and most of us with
hundreds, and we have grown so ac-
customed to small figures that the
supplying enormity of billion reach
es out beyond our comprehension.
1t is because of this the great ma
Jority fail to appreciate what big
thing this war is and how very nee
essary it is that we must boost in
every way this third Liberty loan and
buy bonds today.
We buy a pair of blankets and think
we are doing well, but when the gov
ernmcnt, at one fell stroke, give an
order for 20 square miles of blankets
1t is time for us to see how important
1T is to put the new Liberty Bond is

Every druggist in town-your drug

ticed great falling-off in the sale of
zaalomel. They all give the same rea-
son. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said prominent local druggist
|Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist who
sells it. A large bottle costs SO cents,
and if fails to give easy relief in every
case of liver sluggishness and consti-
patton, you have only to ask for your
money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated bow
els. 1t doesn't gripe or cause incon-
venience all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose of calomel to-
day and tomorrow you will feel weak,
sick and nauseated. Don't lose days

stead and feel fine, full of vigor and
ambition.

crumbling came today in the announ-
cement by General March, chief of
staff, that the news from all battle
fronts was continuously good" and
that 100000 American troops have
now been embarked for overseas ser
vice.
Six months ago today the enemy
flung his full military power against
the British lines in Picardy in the
drivethat was to end the Today
he is fighting desperately to hold the
lettering Hindenburg line, the defen-
sive system from which he struck
that blow and back into which he has
been hurled. British, French and Am
erican armies have broken definitely
the German offensive power in official
opinion here. Already the American
forces in France are more than half
as strong as the whole German army
and the tide of American fighting men
toward France is continuing at an ev-

AMERICANS CONSERVING FOOD

Washington, Sept. 21.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover, in outlining in a
statement issued tonight, the food con-
servation program recommended for
the American people during the COM
ing year, said the United States was
prepared to ship $4,000 mor tons of
foodstuffs to it's armies and allies than
last year and still have a margin over
the amount necessary to maintain
health and strength at home.
The allied civilians and armies, the
American armies, the Belgian relief
and certain neutrals who are depen-
dent upon the United States, will re-
quire 17,55O,OOO ions of foodstuffs for
the year beginning July 1.
There will be no food ratiOning in
this country so long as the people con-
tinue to conserve as in the past, Mr..
Hoover said, nor will it be necessary,
he hoped, to resort to wheatless and
meatless days.

many drills and marches, also thru
the manual of arms a number Of times
and am a little tired but have gotten
used to it so that 1 don't mind. it.
You said you wanted me to write

in the Navy, and I think the best ans
wer would be everything" 7 have

ed, work in the mess hall, dining
room). gone out on working parties,
brigade guard, etc.
am scheduled to leave here by
Friday and l don't know where I will
be sent or for certain what ship 1
will go on. So, don't you write to
me until you hear from me, as | will
be gone before your letter could
reach me, and ordinarily my mail
will not follow me up, although l am
likely to be stationed some place
wher communication is difficult. I
will write every opportunity and if
for long periods you don't hear from
me don't worry as 1 will be a good
boy and take good care of myself.
Fred left Monday for the rifle range
and is not scheduled to return until
Saturday, so you see there is little
hope of us being together anymore.
With love. JOE.
(P.S)-You asked me to write you
what we have to eat, and / must. say
that we boys are well fed, a good
variety and an abundance. On Labor
Day, (Sept. 12) we had one fine din
ner, I think, about as good as l ever
sat down to. We had chicken stew,
with real chicken in it), potatoes,

I ever ate), grapes, ice cream and
cake, etc., but of course this dinner

thoroughly dry.
About 80 million bushels of seed
corn are needed every year. All OF it
should be field selected and dried. Use
artificial heat if necessary, but re-
member it is the dryness and not the
heat of the air that, dries the freshly
gathered seed.
And do not forget the saving of the
garden seed. Imported seed are al
most a thing of the past. The price
is getting higher all the time, and the

following article from the Marion

drawal from a political race owing
to his position as division counsel in

cation in this state:
This issue of the Progress carries
a statement from Mr.. j. w. Pless
wherein he announces his withdrawal
from the race for the State Senate;
also stating his eason The ruling
by Mr. McAdoo, Federal Director Of
Railroads, is probably wise in its
general application with reference to

Good Rules For
Selecting Seed
Corn; Do it Now

BY selecting good seed-corn the far
mer often increases his yield several
bushels on his crop, sometimes as
much as ten bushels or more an acre.
One bushel will plant 4 or 5 acres,
SO it is plainthat good selected seed
has a great value over poor seed.
Poor seed is dear at any price. More
labor is lost perhaps by planting poor
seed corn than by any other mistake
made by farmers. AS you know, poor
seed causes replanting, cultiVating
thin stands, poor yields and some
times soft corn.
Now is the time to go into the field
and selectIcorn for next years plant
ing. The farmer should remember
Mthat he wants to select his seed corn
from a field planted in corn that has
been successfully grown in his neigh
borhood for several years. Don't put
too much faith in some new orr that
has been grown here for only one
year. By selecting seed in the field
you have the opportunity to observe
the stalks upon which the ears grow.
If the ear is very high on the stalk or
is almost on the ground avoid that
stalk for seed. Select ears that are
medium in height from the ground,
and from stalks that have grown and
produced we'll under crowded condi-
tions. If you are selecting a two-ear-
ed variety, it makes no difference
whether you take the top Or bottom
ear Take the N that is best, and if
both n good take them both. Plant
ing the top or bottom a does not
change the height of the ear on the
next crop. When you have gathered
your seed, husk it and then select ov-
er again, d~iscarding all imperfect ears.
The corn should then be thoroughly
dried before freezing weather sets in,
for corn contains a great deal of mois-
ture when gathered and if allowed to
freeze, the vitality of the seed is i'm
paired You will often notice barren
stalks in a field, and often this is
caused by poor seed. There are three
things to do in regard to seed corn:
Simple field selection early drying
and keeping it dry. Good seed corn

TO END RUSSIAN TERROR

Washington, Sept. 21.-Horrified by
the bloody reign of terror in Russia,
the United States today called upon all
allied and neutral nations to consider
what they may do to impress upon the
Bolsheviki the aversion with which the
civilized world regards their wanton
crimes.
By direction of President Wilson,
Secretary Lansing dispatched an iden-
teal instruction to every American di-
plomatic representative in the foreign
capitals. The action aligns the United
States with that of Great Britain and
France in declaring the Bolsheviki out
laws and public enemies.
