THE SPIRIT OF GIVING.

\ worker IN the New \ Ork Red
Cross campaign approached wom-
an i'll an automobile and asked her
TO subscribe. The woman was in
mourning.
why. yes. my dear She said.
81 have just had news that my two
sons in France are dead. ! am glad
to give"
Then the collector approached an
other woman who was sitting in a
large. luxurious car. She replied
disdainfully:
Il have nobody in the war. Why
should ! give anything| -
" ell, human natures strange
thing. Here the woman who had
already made the supreme sacrifice
vas glad to give more, and the wom-
an who had made no sacrihce Al all
didn't see why she should give any
thing.
And yet, it isn't so strange, either,
when YOU forget logic and arithme-
tic any consider human nature as It
is. Giving. ike most other things
is only habit. People may get
into the giving state OF mind little
by little. or all al once through some
great surrender.
One Of the plaineSt and finest
facts in AH-"rica today Is that our
people, OF all classe, and conditions,
are getting into an amazingly gen
erous state OF mind. Giving Is be
coming second nature. To every
appeal they respond more Literally
than before. The war has opened
the nations heart, and as the big
sacrifices come they will only deep
en- the desire to give without stint
or lipit.
They will deepen, too, the sol /
emn JOY OF the giver,. 1t is The .
callous hearts that do not give. or
give grudgingly, that are to be
pitied.

Oh YOU see by the dawn's early light,

Whose broad stripes and bright hro the perlous fight

And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof thrO the night that flag still there
Oh say, does that Star Spanged Banner yet

A totally unofficial estimate of the

the increase in record keeping.

STORE YOUR SEED CORN NOW

J. c. Amis, specialist in agronomy
Of the extension division Of the Tn
iversity Of Tennessee, SAYS:
Remember now your experience with
poor seed corn last spring.
1t is a safe bet that your com
munity suffered loss Of thousands
of bushels due 20 poor stands as a
result of planting dead seed. You
suffered your share Of the loss.
Now is the time to prevent the
same thing again next spring. Store
your seed now in a dry place. Keep
ears separated SO that they will dry
out quickly. String them up in your
garnet or other well ventilated place
where they will be protected from
weather and the rats.
Dry seed corn is not injured by
freezing. Damp seed is killed. 1t
dries slowly in the crib and is likely
to be injured there BY freezing, as
it was last winter.
Play safe. Pick out an ample
supply now and store it where the
ears do not touch each other 1t is
little trouble, but it viii pay well.
