Refuses to Profiteer

Seed corn is bringing from S15 to S25 a bushel in the market, but John A. Stephens, an Illinois farmer, is selling it to neighbors at S4 co. He refused an offer from a seed house of S10a bush el for the 1000 bushels in his crib.
 No" he said. 1T have the re- spect and liking of my neighbors I think. and would not sacrifice it for all the money in the world. And I am an American and know the government k urging bigger crops. Surely 1 would not help if I exacted all I could get for my seed. 1 am an old man and when 1 go 1 don't want to feel that 1 have done anything against my cCuntry's interests or friends 2
 Stories that Stephens vas sell ing seed corn at S4 bushel reached Food Administrathr w. J Eckhardt at his office in Chl- cago, and he was fearful that an inferior seed vas being sold. He sent Fay DevereauX, the Kendall county seed administrator, to in. vestigate. Devereaux found that Stephens corn was exceptional, that it was testing 95 to 100 per cent, and so notified Mir. Eek hardt.
 "The man is a simon pure pa 1 triot," Mr. Eckhardt said. It is his kind that will win the war for us"

Rural School Promotion Day
To the School Directors of Lon

To the School Directors of Lon
 oke County:
 On the 18th day of April, the date which has been set aparl for the Rural s School Promotion Day, there will be held at the Lonoke High School building the annual meeting of the school di- rectors of Lonoke county. You who attended this meeting last year will doubtless remember that this association was Orga- nized with the following officers elected: W. P. Fletcher of Lon oke, president. C. W. Morris. England, secretary and J. H Griffin, Carlisle. treasurer.
 This is an organization that has in it the power to do much good for the schools of our county if the proper interest is shown and a little time given to these meet ings. The task of the director is usually a thankless one, but not withstanding this fact every in terprise must have some one to direct it's affairs and the work of | the public schools must not be neglected. More complete coop. eration is needed along many lines if the work of the schools is to be made as effective as 1t ought to be; and if the time ever comes when the directors, teach. CTS and patrons of the county as a whole can work together with one definite aim in view, the re- suits will be little short of mar velous.
 I England made the dreadful mis take at the outbreak of the war, showing a slight indiffer ence to the carrying on of the work of her public schools and today the whole English nation is lamenting over the sad state of affairs that this has brought about. This ought to be a pro- found lesson to this country and everything possible ought to be done to prevent the slightest hindrance to the development of this nations greatest resorces- her boys and girls. In this great task of promoting the interest

HE WAS NOT TO BE OUTDoNE
Roosevelt Would Not Allow Magazine
WrIter-Sportsman to Tell
the Biggest Yarn.

, Colonel Roosevelt gave a luncheon
in his New York office one day to a
company Of young magazine writers.
These young writer's had had many
adventures, and they told the colonel
many interesting stories. One, how
ever, a sportsman, drew the long bow.
After the sportsman had drawn the
long bow almost to the breaking point
in yarn about a hippOpOtamus, Colo
mel Roosevelt fixed his glittering eye
glasses on the criminal and began:
LET me tell you an experience of
my own, my boy, an experience almost
as incredible as yours. In '98 1 was

tracked a grizzly to a high peak one
day. I advanced toward 1t along the
edge of q precipice 300 feet high. Get
ting a good shot at last, let drive,
but missed. The bear came for me
then like lightning. 1 took aim again,
slipped, fell, and my gun dropped
and rolled over the precipice. There
lay, unarmed and helpless, and the
maddened grizzly not six feet away"
Here the colonel paused and took q
sip from the tall glass of milk-milk is
his favorite beverage-before him.

impatiently.
"Wel?" he said. "Well7 Go on

SHORTAGE OF TIN In GERMANY
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 27.-Germany is
suffering from serious shortage Of
tin, and as yet has found no satisfac-
tory substitute. The Hamburg cor.
respondent recently said that the Up
per Silesian tin-plate industry is
working under exceptional pressure,
being engaged almost exclusively on
army orders. The paper further said
that a new plant had been erected for
the purpose of remanufacturing old
and scrap tin-plate, and that upper
Silesian tin-ore mines, which were
formerly regarded as being too poor
to work, are now being worked as far
as possible.
Paraffin paper containers are being
used in place Of tin cans for con-
densed milk, preserved fruit and vege.

cups. Untinned steel sheets are also
being used extensively as a substitute.
