POOR STANDS OF CORN.

Many reports are coming into of poor stands Of corn. It is too late now to remedy this. Early testing should have been practical. Do not replant with the same kind of seed. Get new, or do not plant at all. If the stand is thin, but thick enough to pay to cultivate, make use of the thin spots by putting in beans, squashes, pump kins, etc. There is still time to do this.

down, and the bundles will not dry out properly. One. good plan for mak- ing a shock is as follows:
 Two bundles are always brought up at once. Brace the first two bundles firmly against each other, bringing them down with force, so that the butts fit solidly on the ground
 Brace the third and fourth bundles firmly over the butts of bundle one.
 Likewise place bundles five and six over the butt of bundle two.
 Bundles seven and eight should be placed in the oper space on the front
 of the shock. and bundles nine and ten in similar position on the opposite side of the shock. The shock is then ready to cap.
 The cap sheayes should not point to
 the west or southwest If they do the
 wind is apt to catch under them and ,, blow them off. Very often the cap sheaf bundles are crossed. There is enough air space inside the shock to allow the air to circulate freely around l the bundles so they will not dry out. l A we'll put up shock will hold the weight of 150pound man. Such a ] shock will not twist down. It will stand lot of rain, because it will dry ! out easily. When a shock once twists down it is impossible to properly reset
 it. We generally let it go thinking
 we will soon thresh or stack. It is no small job. either, to go through a large
 field and reshock the down shocks.

 2. The lining should be sanitary. easily cleanable.
 3. The insulation of the walls should be as perfect as possible.

FLED FROM ARMoRED CARS
the British Forces Made Use
of thanks" in Desert.

The appearance of armored cars In
the desert struck terror in Senussi
hearts, and the whole country was soon
covered with men and camels trek
king off to the southwest. On getting
through the camp the cars went on In
dependently, shooting all loaded camels
and men within reach. Two of these
camels carried mixed loads of petrol
and high explosive shell. The per-
forated petrol cans caught fire, and the
shells exploded, which made the camp
followers fall on their knees, beat the
ground with their foreheads, and call
on Allah's aid.
'"The Turkish gunners stuck to their
guns like good men. When we passed
them without killing them they turned
round and continued firing at us, so
that we had to go back and finish
Them" one of the officers told me. The
cars collected three mountain guns and
nine machine guns with q quarter mil-
lion rounds of small-arm ammunition
and several boxes of shell. Two Of
the cars stood by all night to protect
the captures, and the remainder re-
traced their tracks to Sollum, to find
our infantry in occupation. The Sc
nussi did not venture on Aziza again.

In the matter Of wearing mourning
for relatives who have given their lives
for their country there are two opin-
ions. One is that it is inadvisable to
wear black because it depresses other
people. We must not ask others to
mourn with us, or even remind them
Of mourning. The other is that
proper respect for the dead almost
compels period Of mourning apparel.
1t Is matter which each one must
think out for herself. The Red Cross
has adopted substitute for the usual
mourning and the last bulletin of the
central division has this to say:
"The American Red Cross will pro-
vide the mourning brassards to be
worn by relatives Of men who have
given their lives to their country, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
the war council. These brassards,
which are to be used in lieu of gen.
eral mourning, were suggested and de-
signed by the woman's committee of
the council Of national defense, the
idea. being heartily Endorsed by Presi-
dent Wilson in a letter he sent to the
wOman's committee. They will be fur
nished free to the parents or widows of
men who have died in the service and
at cost to other members of the FAM
lily.
"The brassard, which is to be worn
on the left sleeve, midway between ell
bow and shoulder, is band of black
broadcloth or other material three
inches wide on the surface of which
the regulation military star is en-
broidered in gold thread. The num-
Der of stars on a brassard will denote
the extent of the sacrifice made by
each family.
"The brassards will be made and
distributed by the chapters of the Red
Cross working in conjunction with To-
cal units of the woman's committee of
the council of national defense. An
initial supply of materials for the
manufacture of the mourning emblemS
has been purchased by the Red Cross
and will be forwarded to the IA divi-
sions of the organization for distribu-
ton through their chapters. 1t is ex-
pected that the first of the brassards
will be ready for distribution about
the middle of September. A brief
statement accompanying the announce
ment says:

For the Fall Bride.

A gift which will remind the little
bride who undertakes to furnish q
home in wartime that Mr.. Hoover has
his eye on her, Is a bread bag. It II
made Of sturdy cotton; an unbleached
muslin would do well. Into 1t the
scraps Of bread left from the table arr
put and are kept comparatively fresh
for use at the next meal or for bread
buildings or bread crumbs. The reason
for the bag is that war bread Seems
to keep so much better when wrapped
in cloth than when left in the regu-
lation box, where 1t Is apt to mold Il
the box is close, or dry out If the box
is left open. Embroider the word
bread, or an outline Of cut loaf on
this bag If you are thinking Of giving
it to some little bride you know.

wide girdle heavily embroidered with
wooden threads in a slightly darker

and bits of embroidery on waist and
sleeves.

The dressier separate skirts are
made of supple weaves in silk; their
wearers sharing favors among satins,
silk poplin and tricolet. Satin, it al
most goes without saying is first in i'm
portance-it is used for about all the
outer garments of women, from hats
to slippers. Tricolet is a novel fabric
by comparison, but is approved by the
most smartly dressed women, and
poplins are tried and familiar to every
one.
Besides these silks for dressy sepa-
rate skirts there are novelties in heav-
fer weaves for sport skirts. The sport
skirt, in fact, has reached heights of
beauty and style far in advance of any
thing ip it's animated and remarkable
history. Possibly the restraint and re-
serve that marks wartime designing
has operated to the advantage of
sport apparel. But the time is COM
ing when a new class, with a new
name, will be formed for many of the
smart, informal garments that now
come labeled for sport wear.

worn with a dark OF light blouse, pre-

High black satin boots, for house

are really very smart. They lace
snugly about the ankles and are made
with French heels and moderate
points. Oxfords of black satin also

pretty for informal house wear In the

President Wilson's Appeal
To American Voters
my Fellow Countrymen:


most critical period our country
has ever faced or is likely to
face in our time. If you have
approved of my leadership and
wish me to continue to be your
unembarrassed spokesman in
affairs at home and abroad |
earnestly beg that you will ex-
press yourselves Enthusiastically
to that effect by returning 8
Democratic majority to both
the senate and house of repre-
sentatives.
Will Accept Judgment.
81 am your servant and will
accept your judgment without
cavil, but my power to admins
ter the great trust assigned me
by the Constitution would be
seriously impaired should your
Judgment be adverse, and ]
must frankly tell you so because
so many critical issues depend
upon your verdict. No scrupie
of taste must in grim times like
these be allowed to stand in the
way of speaking the plair
truth.
81 have no thought Of sug
costing that any political party
is paramount in matters of pa
triotism. | feel too deeply the
sacrifices which have beer
made in this war by all our clI-
liens irrespective of party af-
filiations to harbor such an
idea. / mean only that the diff
ficulties and delicacies of our
present task are of a sort that
makes it imperatively necessa-
ny that the nation should give
its undivided support to the
government under a unified
leadership and that a Republi
can congress would divide the
leadership.
G. o. p. Anti-Administration.
'The leaders of the minority
in the present congress are un-
questionably pro-war, but they
have been anti-administration.
At almost every turn since We
entered the war they have
sought to take the choice OF
policy and the conduct of the
war out of my hands and put it
under the control of instrument
talities of their own choosing
This is no time either for di-
vided counsel or for divided
leadership. Unity of command
is as necessary now in civil ac-
ton as it is upon the field of
battle. If the control of the
house and the senate should be
taken away from the party now
in power, an opposing majority
could assume control of legisla-
ton and oblige all action to be
taken amidst contest and OBJ
struction.
Reputation of Leadership.
'"The return of Republican
majority in either house of the
congress would moreover, be in
terpretative on the other side
of the water as a reputation OF
my leadership.
"Spokesmen of the Republi-
can party are urging you to
elect a Republican congress in
order to back up and support
the president, but even If they
should in this impose upon some
credulous voters on this side OF
the water they would impose on
no one on the other side. 1t is
well understood there, as well as
here, that the Republican lead
ers desire not so much to sup
port the president as to control
him.
"The peoples of the allied
countries with whom we are as
