FIFTEEN THINGS WORTH
DOING THIS WINTER

Nothing worth while ever Gust hap
pens" Some man will make a won
derful achievement and we say he is
"lucky"-never thinking to look be-
hind the success for the countless
hours Of planning and toll that brought
the final victory.
So it is in business. So it is in
farming. Nothing is going to "just
happen" on your farm. And with this
idea in mind, we ask, "What are you
planning to do this winter?" If next
spring finds you with better farm
buildings, more conveniently arranged
fields, more modern farm equipment,
or a more richly stored mind, or finds
you better prepared to serve your COM
munity, all these things will be to your
credit. If spring finds you just where
you were when fall set in, then that
win be to your discredit.
We don't know what your farm
needs most, but the following sugges-
tons are probably pretty good ones
for you to choose from:
Remove all stumps, rocks and
logs from your fields.
2-Terrace all hillsides and stop all
gullies.

MOLESkINS VALUABLE
Mole Trapping Industry Should be De-
yeloped in This Country

American moleskins, particularly
those from the Pacific Northwest, are
superior to the Moleskins of Europe,
which largely make up the worlds
supply for industrial uses, according
to the biologists of the United States
department of agriculture. 1t should
be profitable, therefore, the biologists
declare, to trap these animals for their
pelts and so establish a new American
fur industry. This is true particular
" in the northwest, where the animals
are large and plentiful, and where 1t
is often desirable to keep their num-
bers down to prevent injury to fields
and lawns. Such a new industry should
be especially desirable for farmers
boys as a side issue, it is pointed out.
The habits of American moles are
described and methods Of capturing
them and treating and marketing their
skins are outlined in Farmers Bulle-
tin Trapping Moles and Utilizing the
Skins" recently issued By the United
States department of agriculture. The
publication also offers suggestions for
the tanning of pelts, so that they may
be made locally into women's neck
pieces, muffs and coats. Copies Of the
bulletin may be had free so long as
the supply lasts, or application to the

ture, Washington, D. c.

BARE PLOT TO POISON RED
CROSS BANDAGES.

Cleveland, o., Dec, pa plot to poi
son Red Cross bandages and spread
death among the soldiers Of America
and her allies has been ex-
posed and frustrated here. This be-
came known today when it was learned
that department of justice agents
were hunting the perpetrators of the
deed.
While in transit between Toledo and
Cleveland 3,400 surgical dressings,
rolled by patriotic women in Toledo
we're infected with a mysterious poison
Every effort was made to keep the
matter secret and it was successful un-
til today. Red Cross officials refused
to discuss the affair, but information
was obtained that the bandages had
been destroyed.
The poisoned bandages were part of
the periodical shipments received at
the local headquarters of the lake d.
vision from the Red Cross headquar-
ters in other cities in the division,
which comprises Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky. The box of bandages ar
rived here last week. While women
were examining the surgical dressings
as to specifications a dark, greenish
substance was noticed on n of them.
investigation showed that all the band
ages had been treated with poison.

becomes increasingly clear that . con-
test is again being waged to determine
whether the world will be dominated
by the will and policies of medieval
despotism or by those of free and IN

Il becomes more obvious that the sur

thing in the way of materials for food

selfish advantage, and to reveal the
same spirit of devotion and willing
ness to make sacrifices and to give all

SHELL SEED CORN
BY HAND
Examine Kernels from Each Ear and
Reject Defective Grains

Seed o should always be shelled
BY hand, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, which advis-
es care in every step connected with
seed selection.
After seed corr has been selected
from the most productive stalks as
they stand in the field in comparison
with other surrounding stalks, and
stored in a dry place free from insects
and rodents, the job is only half done.
Smelling is one OF the most important
Of the tasks.
Seed ears should first be nubbed
and the kernels from tip and butt
should be discarded from the seed
supply. The small kernels from the
tip are less productive than the other
kernels on the ear; the blunt, thick,
rounded kernels from the butts are
just as productive as the any of the
rest, but because of their size and
shape they do not plant uniformly
when used in a corn planter with other
kernels.
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor, but is profitable. The me-
chanical corn shelter is likely to in
jure the germ tips of the individual
grains, and to thus destroy or impair
their power to terminate. No matter
how large the required supply, says
the department, it will pay to shell it
painstakingly by manual labor, be-
cause the greater the acreage to be
planted the greater the ultimate profit.
Each ear should be shelled separate
ly into a shallow pan or box, and ev-
cry blemished, misshapen, or worm
eaten kernel should be rejected. AS
the seed from each ear is found salts
factory and sound, and free from poor
kernels, it is poured into the general
supply, and another ear is shelled in
the same way. 1t is much easier to
pick out defective grains from a single
layer in a small receptacle than from
a large mingled quantity in a bushel
measure or a bag.

his NAME JESUS"

Matthew 1:21-"And he shall bring
forth a son and thou shalt call His
name Jesus; for He shall save His
people from their sins"
The Incarnation is a mystery to be
wondered at, rather than looked into.
We cannot understand our own birth
through nature, much less the birth
Of Christ through the Holy Spirit. The
name that the angel gave to Joseph
and Mary was Emmanuel, meaning
God with US"
When Jesus was conceived Of the
Holy Spirit and born to the Virgin
Mary, the world was given a Media
tor between God and man. Also a
Redeemer from the curse Of the law
and, a retaining of that which the
devil he'd gotten possession Of. This
required the death Of Christ on the
cross. He tasted death for every man
and now. becomes the Redeemer Of
mankind.
The name Of Jesus is the most mag
ical, magnetic and marvellous. How
that name makes devils tremble and
saints rejoice, and sinners hopeful. No
other name holds such a charm and
brings such blessings. As Peter said
to those who were wondering at the
healing Of the impotent man at the
Beautiful Gate, "And by faith in His
name hath His name made this man
strong, whom We behold and know:
yea, the faith which is through Him
hath given him this perfect ~soundness
in the presence Of you ALL" (Acts 3:16)
The mission of Christ is to save the
people from their sins. By His atone
ment on the cross, He buys back, pays
off the mortgage, sets the prisoner
free. Legally the debt has been paid,
the ransom given and the sins borne
