SEED CORN Week
STARTS MONDAY
By j. C.. Kline.

BY y. y. kline.
The four day seed corn instruction
campaign ended with great success
About 1900 boys OF the high schools
and the seventh and eighth grades
from all parts of the county were Civ
en- complete instructions by James
Kline, on How to Select and Store
Seed Corn"
Much interest was shown in this
work. Already many Of the boys have
selected quantity of seed corn. The
picture of the boy or girl selecting the
largest quantity of seed corn next
week will appear in the daily paper
The school boys are going to select
twice as much seed corn as their par
ents will need next year. They are
going to select twice the quantity
needed to fortify themselves against
a possible early freeze like occurred
one year ago.
Much of the corn has already ma
tured and is out of the way of the
frost. The southern corn brought in
ii this county from outside sources is,
in most cases, fully matured.
From all appearances Wayne county
corn crop is far ahead of most other
counties. In the northern part of the
state the early frost killed some of
the corn so it never started and that
which started was damaged by the
dry weather during July.
In selecting seed corn this week,
Joe Helms, the corn king says:
/. Select the corn from the stalk.
2. Select ears from medium sized
stalks.
3. Select dropping ears with short
shanks.
4. Select ears growing from 31s to
feet from the ground.
5. Select only good ears.
6. Gather enough for two years
planting.
Z. Be sure the corn you save for
seed is suited to this county's soil and
climate.
How to Store.
I. Store ears so they will not touch
each other.
2. Do not lay the ears fiat on floor
or boards.
3. Store corn from freezing until
thoroughly dry.
Buy Liberty Bonds this week and
select seed corn next week

Board Hears Plea
of Wire Operators
For Higher Wages
u. S. Investigators Ready for
Hearst Telegraphers' De-
mands After Taking Testi-
mony i'm United Press Case
By BRIGGS

Press telegraphers' salaries through
out the land, physicians bills in Hunt
ington, w. Va; a newspaper reporters
salary in Keokuk, Iowa; an editors
pay in Oshkosh, Wis; the cost of
dresses in Philadelphia and the Mayors
salary in Arkansas City, Kan, were
among the things that entered into the
War Labor Board hearing yesterday Of
the salary increase demands of teleg-
raphers in the employ of the United
Press Association.
The testimony was taken at City
Hall by Examiners James S. Hord and
Benjamin Raleigh. Testimony will be
heard to-day on a similar demand Of
telegraphers employed by Hearst's In
ternational News Service. In both
cases the telegraphers want 8 horizon
tai raise of $12 week for all They
are now getting a minimum of $50.
d. X. Stevenson, chairman of the
United Press division of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' Union of America,
asked the United Press to ignore the
contract it had with the union. by
which the men are pledged to work at
the present wage until next summer,
and to grant the workers a $12 raise
because of the increased cost of living
The written reply of W. W. Hawkins.
general manager of the United Press.
said that in larger cities the cost of
living had undoubtedly risen so high
that telegraphers there should have
more money. He offered to attempt
to arrange Immediately with news
paper managers in those cities for an
extra compensation. He explained
that any extra pay for the telegra-
piers would have to come from news
paper owners. Mr.. Hawkins said he
could not consider horizontal raise.
He said he could not ask an editor in
Arkansas City, Kan, for instance, to
pay a S12 weekly bonus, the same as
a Pittsburgh editor when the cost of
living in the rural Kansas community
has not scared to the extent it has in
Pittsburgh.
Mr.. Stevenson testified that Mr..
Hawkins's offer to obtain raises for
men in certain cities was rejected on
the ground that it would cause dissen-
sion.
Affidavits of telegsaphers showing
how the high prices had affected them
we're submitted. A Huntington, W. Va.
telegrapher swore that when the
physician visited his house he charged
50 for each of the six members of the
family. From Philadelphia came the
tale that a telegrapher's wife had to
rawn her diamond ring to buy a suit
that cost $40.

age warehouses, awaiting the proper
time to poke their noses into the
world and overwhelm the profteer, be-
gan to be demobilized yesterday at
the order of Jonathan P. Day, Com

All of this might have happened on

derestimated New York's egg appetite.
While he was carefully putting away
his 1000 cases New York was con-
suming every week more than half
as many again as his entire store. Ten
thousand cases of eggs. dealers say,
is the normal egg consumption each
week OF this city, and Mr.. Days little
hoard of eggs is as Intellectual in max

hens which laid them.
The Com missioner IS disposing of his
eggs gingerly-a mere one hundred
cases day-throueh the baby health
