mob. Aroused and frenzied, the
crowd OF 500 went to the negro set

London, Aug. l2.-An address to
President Wilson, intended as re-
ply to the message sent to him by
the Dublin Mansion House anti
conscription conference early III
July, has been presented to the
American embassy. The address is
signed by Sir Edward Carson and
head of the war aims committee and
leader of the Irish Unionist party,
the lord mayor of Belfast, the presi-
dent of the Belfast chamber OF COM

The address says:

mocracies of the world have accept

only alternative to the destruction

those who maintain lreland's right
to solitary and privileged exemption
from the same obligation should be-
tray their consciousness that an
apology is requiredto enable them
to escape condemnation at the bar
of civilized, and especially Amer
ican opinion"
The address goes on to say that
it is important that the president OF
the American people be assured that
the document is very far from rep
resenting the unanimous opinion of
Irishmen. The minority in ireland,

gave excellent results, the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station at Ames
is recommending soy beans for Iowa

Have You Anything For Sale or do
You Want to Buy Anything:

The Farm Bureau is planning a

ers may be. able to find sale for
their surplus stock or feed. 1t is not
our purpose to buy, and sell this
stuff but to simply list the articles
for sale with their description and
the price, in order that any one
wishing to buy may get in touch with
the owners.
We already have listed about rs
ewes with lambs and number of
cattle and hogs.
Anyone having anything for sale,
or wishing to buy, may call the
County Agents office at Leon and
we will try to help you locate the
right man.
In a very short time we expect to
take an invoice of the entire county,
in order that we may be able to list

locate all prospective buyers.

FARM BUREAU NOTES.
Buy Seed Corn at Home.

The Extension Department at
Ames has always ADVISED that the
seed corn be procured at home,
either in the same county or adjoin-
ing counties. The corn that is ac-
cllmated will yield better than that
which is not, often there. being, a
difference of several bushels. The
corn that is procured from Missouri
and other southern states is likely
not to mature under our conditions.
Seed, Stock Committee, says: 1T
would be indeed dangerous for Iowa
farmers to import seed from Mis-
souri,. The only safe seed is the
seed grown right at home, ii it can
not be secured at home it should be
secured as near home as possible. :,
Under the Iowa State Seed Lew all
seed corn sold and not labeled must
test 81 % or over, ii labeled it mast
test up, to the LABEL. Any farmer
