TO CURTAIL SEED
CORN PROFITEERS

The Missouri State Corn Growers
Association has set $500 a bushel 81
a fair price fer pure seed corn Of
standard varieties. This action was
taken to thwaft efforts of spectators
and profteers who were taking adj
vantage of the seed corn shortage to
demand exhcrbitant prices. In view Of
the war emergency and the shortage
of good seed corn the association be-
lieves that price of $500 bushel is
fair for well selected, tested seed.
Farmers who are requested by profit
GERS to pay higher price will do well
to take notice Of this action by the
corn growers. In many cases the
corn offered for sale by such men will
have been grown by members of the
Corn Growers Association and con
sequently farmers should deal direct
ly with members of this association
and avoid the excess profit demanded
by interruptions seedsmen.

Gratifying evidence of i'm
provements on the Adair county
end of the Campbellsville turn
pike are due to the business like
policy of County Judge Walter
Sinclair, who has in the very be-
ginning of his term of office
found out that it is vital to Co.
lumbia and Adair county that
this road shall be maintained in
such a way, regardless of rea-
sonable cost, as the needs of our
people justify. There is no
doubt that the toll collected on
this road is ample and sufficient
to maintain good road, as good
as any in Kentucky, from here
to Campbellsville. Judge Sin.
clair, supported by the able CO.
operation of County Attorney,
w. A. Coffey, is now directing
thru the technical skill of our
good road engineer, Chas. H.
Hockensmith, improvements on
the pike that by the first of May
ought to put the road in better
shape than it has been for many
years.

FOOD WILL win THE WAR. PRO-
DUCE CORN.

The blades of corn in the fields
of America are just as essential
to victory as the blades of armies
in the fields Of Europe.
Do not waste high-priced labor
cultivating a half-stand of corn.
Ten to twelve ears of corn will
plant an acre.
Shells will not explode without
powder. Neither will seed corn
grow when the termination is
killed. This can only be deter.
mined by testing.
On productive soil the differ
ence in yield between a good and
poor stand will be at least ten
bushels.
A good stand of corn will en-.
able our army to make a good
stand.

We may now be convinced that
Germany was not bluffing about
her great offensive on the West
ern front. We never thought
that she was blufing. Germany
knows that if she is to whip
England ever, she must do it
and do it quickly, before the
Anglo-Saxon blood hound of des-
tiny is unleashed. Germany is
not fighting France. she is not
fighting Belgium nor America.
She knows full we'll that she is
fighting the Anglo Saxon race,
and that a rich strain of this
noble blood courses through her
own veins. But God Almighty
had a hand in this fatal business
when he transplanted the best
and richest vein of that blood
from the shores of the English
Channel to these desert wastes
to bloom into christian knight
hood under the leadership of the
greatest mere man of all times
and ages. When the quiet and
unassuming school teacher at
Washington sheathes the sword
of the freedom that Washington
bequeathed to humanity the
blood of the dead legions OF
Varus will have been indicated
thru the destined predominancy,
in the world, of the Anglo-Saxon
race, and our Mother of the Brit.
ish Isles will bow in sad graft.

1t is always a glad day in Co.
lumbia, when Judge Rollin Hurt
comes home. The Judge came
in Saturday night and looks hale

about all that folks have to do in
Frankfort, and the Judge is &C.
curing some habits of the aris-
tocracy, we fear, he refuses to

know that in spite of this mans
statesmanlike demeanor and

The war has now been in
progress for more than three
years and there have been a num-
Der of battles, small and large,
but there has not been an en-
gagement' where the Germans
have come out victorious. In
every battle where the Germans
have faced the French and the
English they have gotten the
worst of the fight. Now that the
American army will soon be
ready to take prominent place
on the firing line, there will be
a less chance for the Germans to
win. The followers of the Kali
ser are good when it comes to
firing on hospitals, and sinking
vessels loaded with women and
children, but when it comes to
facing the enemy, they tuck their
tails and leave out. With the
United States helping France
and the English with her men
and money, there is not a chance
for Germany to come out victO-
rious, though she is making some
Roadway at this time.

FACTS ABOUT
STAPLE FOODS
Natural Brown Rlos.

N@AAA ~ SE1"H nAGHH
The high food value OF natural
brown rice will recommend 1T to
every thrifty mother OF a family.
In the first place, women in their
desire to have pure white product
keep fussing about the slightly brown
color until the manufacturers had
special machinery made to remove
the brown coating, which is rich ir
fat content and mineral salts. The
polished rice thus produced IL a
valuable starch giving food and does
cook up attractively.
BY using the very best selected
natural brown rice, sold in dust
proof packages, the other fats in the
same menu may be reduced. The
rice will further take the place of
any other starch in the menu.
This natpfal brown rice meets the
patriotic need Of saving fats and the
thrift need Of reducing the cost of
a meal. According to Government
Bulletin No. AIT, even the brown
coating of natural brown rice is one
and three-fourths times as valuable
as a heat energy and resistance
power as polished rice.
