SEED CORN DRIVE


Lake county has gone over the top
on every other drive. Let's all turn
out and select seed corn for the COM
ing year by September IL. For ey-
cry acre of corn to be planted next
year 100 ears should be selected as
follows:
Stalks that have a tendency to
yield well as shown by their superior
ity owe surrounding stalks hat grew
under the same conditions. (Such
seed inherits high producing power).
Stalks without suckers. (Such
seed produces fewer suckers than
seed from sucker bearing stalks.
Storm proof stalks with ears at a
desirable height.
Desirable stalks, especially early
maturing stalks with hanging ears
are the most easily found.
Selection of medium sized well
shaped ears of a variety that has
been grown in the locality for some
time; from strong vigorous stalks of
medium height with more than one
stalk in the hill.
Select ears nearly as large at the
tip as at the butt, with straight rows
of uniform kernels.
Select al with kernels that fill
all the space on the cob and are about
again as broad at the tip as at the
top.
Store your seed orn where it a
not freeze before becoming thorough
ly dry, and in such a way that the air
can circulate freely about each ear.

THREE PHASE SYSTEM
CITY COMMISSION DECIDES ON
CHANGE OF PHASE OF
ELECTRIC PLANT.

A pacifist meeting-not pacific in
its attitude toward accepting a nego-
tiated German peace, but peaceful In
fits tendency toward a clear under
standing as to how the motor owners
Of Madison and the city commission
stand regarding the phase of motors
that are to be used in this city now
and in the future-was held at the
city hall last evening at 8 o'clock.
The motor owners of the city were
out in force as also were the city's
chief executives. The features of
some of those present wor a COM
bative aspect, at first; but. as soon
as the discussion got under way, this
facial index to pent-up feeling grad
ually assumed more beatific express
sion; that is, an understanding on
the motor question seemed possible
OF solution.
Mr.. Parker, who has a force here
now reminding the large motors
made clear the technical advantages
of a standard t~hree-phase system of
motors and quoted prices to be paid
for r%ewinding the motors now in use.
He also answered many questions
~propounded to him by motor users.
Those who are using several mo-
tors, or heavy horsepower singles,
stated their objections to changing
over the phase now In use because of
the cost. which, in several instances,
would fall heavily upon some. Sew
eral spokesman could not discern any
advantage. so far rs power is con-
cerned. in Transforming the present
system; and stiH others were in ia
vor of s~houldering W on the tax
payers the costs OF changing over.
Throughout the discussion the
commissioners listened patiently to
all arguments: but. upon responses
to questions directed to them, 1t was
plainly obvious that the city fathers
favor an up-to-date three-phase sys-
tenn for the city of Madison and its
motor users. Mayor Robertson dis
closed the fact that the large motors
Of the burned plant were being fitted
for the three phase type. An ON
inous silence gripped the gathering.
The mayors statement seemed to in
fer that the th~ree-phase was desired
and was being planned for. This
brought matters nearer to a head.
Now the question-who should bear
the expense OF the change-the indi-
vidual motor owner or the city? 1t
was thesense of the citizens present
vas the sense of the citizens present
involved in changing the type Of mo-
tor. 1t was explained that the city
would bear rs per cen of the cost OF
changing and that 1t was up to the
motor owners to carry the 75 per
cent This did not appear quite
equitable to some and SO the meet
ing adjourned without any action be-
ing taken that would stand.
The city commission Of itself held
another meeting at 10 a.. M, today
to come to some definite decision up
on the whole question. After going
over the situation carefully and par
ticularly considering the motor own
ers' attitude and wishes. it was de-
cided by majority vote to allow motor

Percentages in Grim
eS Increase Alarm
ingIy Since Start
of War
international News Service)

international News Service)
| New York, January 5.-Since
the United States entered the
war the crime percentages in
practically every city in the
country have taken amazing
leaps. The number of COM
plants reaching the various
detective headquarters through
out the land for the last six
months was 20 per cent higher
than during the same period a
year ago. The increase has eX-
tended to practically all forms
of crimes except murder and
assault.
| Commissioner Woods, of the
New York Police Department,
has made a special examination
of the records with a view to
answering the question as to the
effect of the war on crime and
criminals. His conclusions are
as follows:
Grimes against property have
increased steadily since the
United States entered the war,
and the reason may be found
directly in the economic condi-
tions which have been brought
about by the war. Crimes of
violence, except robbery, have
tended to decrease, but the de-
crease is to be attributed not
so much to the war as to the de-
struction of the gangs and the
imprisonment of the gangsters
Iwho formerly afflicted New
York City"
! Like Commissioner Woods,
District Attorney Swami holds
that the causes of increased
icrime are economic, due to the
Iwar.
"The explanation" he says,
"is in the increased value of
property. Silks, copper, brass,
|foodstuff and almost every COM
modify have such an increased
value and are so readily salable
that it is worth while to steal
most anything, and the thieves
act accordingly. With the in
crease in values is a correspond
ling increase in tempation."
