If you want to be on the safe side
you should treat your grain for smut.
1t only takes a little time, and it may
be the means CT making you much
money. The following treatment:
Treatment: Use formaldehyde, one
pound (16ozs.) TO 40 gallons of water.
Wet the grain with this solution in
any manner which allows all grains
to become evenly wet v entire sur
face.
Sprinkling and shoveling is as eff
fective as dipping, if we'll done. Place
the grain in a tight box, or on a tight
floor space or canvas. Spray or sprin-
kle on the solution. Shovel and rake
over the grain thoroughly. Leave pill
ed for an hour or so until the excess
moisture is absorbed.
Use three-foulths of a gallon of the
solution to each bushel Of dry wheat.
Oats, barley or millet, properly
treated, will absorb about one and one
half gallons for each dry bushel.
To allow for slight swelling, set the
drill to sow the right number of seeds
per yard of drill row. Try it on a
smooth har d load to see how the
seeds are dropping.

Workers for the Third Liberty Loan
should not take up their task with the
idea that because this is the third
drive for billions, therefore it will be
three items as difficult to solicit a
loan. Raising money for victory is
largely an adventure in psychology.
If the need Of the third loan is three
times more wildly impressed on the
citizens mind than that for the first
loan, the canvass for this will be as
swift and successful as was the drive
for that.

that we lift a finger, nor spend a pen

Federal Suffrage
Amendment
Congressman who are calling on the
President to ask his advice on the Federal
Suffrage Amendment are being told to
vote for it
"As an Act of Right and Justice"
The Presidents commitment to the
amendment ranks as war statement with
those made by Premier Lloyd George and
Mr.. Asquith and the Premier of Canada.
The British House of Commons has
passed Woman Suffrage as war measure
by vote of Z to l.
France has found time between Verdun
and Cambria to proclaim, through its Cham
Der of Deputies, that women should have
the vote, first of all as an act of delayed
justice and, secondly, as move dictated
by public interest"
ltaly's Prime Minister pledges the mu-
nicipal enfranchisement of Italian women.
The State Parliaments of five Canadian
Provinces have adopted Woman Suffrage,
and the newly returned Federal Premier,
finding it ridiculous that women should
vote in some provinces and not in Others

declaration to the public.
1t explains as follows:
Firms Explanation.
The cost of all kinds of tobacco leaf
used in the manufacture of cigars, Gig
arettes and smoking mixtures enor-
mously increased since the war, due to
the fact that the world now depends on
the United States. Cuba and Porto Rico
for it's supply. This extraordinary de-
mand. together with short crops in Con-
necticut. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,
have doubled and trebled the prices OF
the most used types of tobacco.
Labor of every description employed
in the tobacco manufacturing industry
is being paid an advance Of not less
than 25 per cent, and even payment Of
this increase leaves q tremendous
shortage of skilled hands in the fac
tories. Production suffered in conse-
Quence.
Packing materials, including cigar
boxes. cardboard for cigarette pack
ages, printing, nails, tin containers.
glass jars. tinfoil and every other item
on the list of manufacturing necessi-
ties are up to new high marks in cost.
Tobacco in all its forms is now pay
ing heavier taxes than ever before on
account of the war; but these taxes are
responsible for only fractional raises
in price on each piece of merchandise
sold. Prevailing prices are mainly the
result of advanced costs of manufac-
fure."
