STORE CORN IN DRY PLACE.

1t will not be much use to select
seed corn properly in the field if it
is not stored in a dry, thoroly ven
tilated place, says the farm crops eX-
tension man at Iowa State College.
If there is no seed house on the farm
then the attic in the dwelling house
or an unused room is the best place
Until the corn thoroly dries out, the
doors and windows should be open
in the day time and then closed at
night.
Severe freezing never helps the
vitality of seed corn any. Freezing
of seed corn still uncured and damp
would in nearly every case destroy
or greatly injure its vitality. Any
number of reports have come to
Ames of men who gathered good seed
last year and then permitted it to
freeze before it had dried out.
September 2S is the last day set
by proclamation of Governor w. L.
Harding for gathering seed corn
from the field. On that day the
200 co-operators in every school
district in the state will begin a CEN
sus to determine just what men Sc
lected their corn. Those who did not
will be listed The inference will be
plain-the fellow who has no seed
corn is a downright Stacker. Final
reports will be made by the cooper
ators not later than October 10.

GEORGE DAWSON WRITES.
France, Aug. %, 1918.

Dear Ones at Home
While sitting on the rock-walled
well by a large stone house / will
write a few lines, altho it is very
difficult to write legibly, for / have
to hold this paper in my lap. In
this quiet, quaint, little village many
church bells are ringing and the peo-
pie are strolling towards the old,
gray. stone churches. The majority
of the people here are religious and
attend services faithfully.
Were l able to understand French
| should enter some church, for
would much enjoy listening to ia
sermon. Had ! studied French three
years instead of that harsh, inverted
and now justly despied language,
which the damned, detested diabo-
lical Germans use, / could under
stand what these brave, and honor
able French people say, but / did not
then know that it would become my
duty to fight in France to make the
world decent for women to live in.
Since / have seen so much of the
destruction the Germans have done
and made absolutely necessary for
the allies to do, and have seen thous-
ands of coarse, heavy-jawed, british
looking, cruel Hun prisoners, / de-
test them more than / can express.
Whenever ] see any of their mate
rial, or clothing which is often, /
recall some of the atrocities they
have perpetrated, then, in contrast,
think of the American people and
of all her allies who have done and
will do everything possible to crush
the barbaric nation which permits
and in certain cases, even urges her
soldiers to violate young ladies and
women and ruthlessly to murder
children and infants, who could in
no manner possibly harm them or
even deter them from winning a vic
tory.
Frequently | see a gray cap with
a red band which the Hun soldiers
wear. That has become one of the
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1918-09-26

most provoking articles in existence,
to me, for l have seen thousands of
prisoners each wearing one of those
fools-caps.
Just now we are not on the front
line of firing. but are resting in
quiet. peaceful valley adorned here
and there by clusters or groves of
large, neatly trimmed trees, under
the branches of which we sleep, eat
and converse. In some respects l
prefer being on the front" than in
a rest camp. altho danger hovers
over US there, whereas safety sur
rounds us here.
The soldier never knows when he
will be taken to or from the front"
but all of them are willing to go or to
stay there, for he realizes. or at best
believes he can render valuable
service to his government while
fighting there. Some of them be-
come very nervous at times, for the
heavy shells make a terrible noise
when they explode or pass over head
or fall near where they are standing
or lying. A man can hear one of
those shells a long distance away,
especially large one-6, s or j
inches in diameter. Each of those
made a deep and wide hole where it
falls. The largest shell hole / have
seen is at least 20 feet deep and
80 feet in diameter. OF course, the
hole is shaped like a top. Those
large shells are very destructive and
much feared, for their exploding
throws pieces of the shells and rocks
nd fr. h, aI, r.t,,
distance with such force that the
pieces have killing power. Very pc
culiar things happen in many cases;
for instance, / once saw a heavy sol
dier's head severed completely from
his body while another soldier who
was standing beside him was not in
jured. Of course, man should in
stantly fall to the ground as soon as
he hears a shell whirling in the air so
that the sharp piece which are
thrown thru the air may not so like
ly strike him.
The gas shells are very much
dreaded, for they often make those
near the explosion sick. Many of
their shells fail to explode. l don't
know just why, some of them are
improperly made, but it may be that
some of the many prisoners they
have who work in the munition fac
tories are clever and bold enough to
seal a part of the shells without a
fuse or explosives. 1t is relief to
have many buds instead of high ex-
! plosives, altho during their flight
they make painful, disagreeable
noise.
If | am permitted to live thru
this unprecedented war the expert
ences which are making my life in
| teresting will be very valuable to
me-worth than they will have or
| have cost me. You can't imagine
think of and consider the thrilling
experiences which almost always pre-
sent themselves when we are not ex-
pecting them.
Well, | must go for a swim in a
quiet, clear, little stream. / have
bathed in both the Marine and the
Seine rivers.
Your loving son,
George

THE CALL TO ALL OF US.

Down at Joplin, Missouri, there is published a paper
called the News Herald, In whose editorial columns are
to be found articles full Of the spirit Of patriotism, set
forth in vigorous and striking language. In a recent
issue Of the News Herald there appeared an article en-
titled The Call to All Of U.s." which is peculiarly timely
just now. This article reads:
1.-THE commander-in-chief Of our army ana navy
comes forth with the definite opinion that, with a sup
RENE effort this spring and summer, this year will see
the end Of the war. He knows. better than any other
American. our condition and the conditions in adversary
countries. and he would not offer US this glorious hope
had he not strong grounds for faith in it.
I'm Gods name let US make that supreme effort and
save the world from another winter Of universal, UNI
precedentsd human misery and loss!
IT President Wilson asks one meatless meal, let's
give him two. If he asks one wheatless day, let's give
him three. If he orders coalless Mondays, that our SOL
die.s 5000 miles away may be fed'a well as night, let's
put our very best face on it and do our very best, If
we've bought one Liberty Bond. let's save and buy an
other. If we've knit one pair of socks or one sweater,
let's knit two. If we've been trying to hold on to busi-
ness as usual. let's make our business our only business.
Al end Of the war this year! Is there an Aneri-
can man or woman who would not give his or her all
for It? But this is not asked. What is necessary is that
all should work their hardest. save their level best and
sacrifice all save the necessaries.
Our supreme effort means life instead Of starvation
to millions OF the poor of Europe. It means saving Of
the lives Of Thousands Of our brave boys 1T the front. 1t
means return to our normal home life and business life.
TN effect, our President puts all Of us in battle
array. The enemy IL before US. The decision is to be
made. The test is upon us. And II we are reereant, we,
and the whole civilized world with US, go under the mer-
CHESS hell Of militarism. It shall not be!
I'VE are ready, Mr.. Presidnent! Would you have
more men? They are yours More billions? We save.
An.> PnoA~%vH.9 W. III --.e. 49,
loyalty? The hope you put in us inspires a greater senti-
mont than patriotisn-the determination to strike for
and save our brothers throughout the world. Ask, and
We will give. Seek. and 70 shall find our all within reach
Of your hand!
Peace. honorable. humane peace, this year. May
the Almighty put the power for it in our supreme
e6ort!"
