TESTING THE SEED CORN.

On account of the immature crop
last year there must necessarily be
considerable corn which has been
saved for seed that will not germin-
ate. 1t is, therefore, very necessary
that every farmer test his seed corn
before he plants it. Every ear that is
intended for seed should be tested,
because the 1918 crop of corn de-
ponds very largely upon the kind Of
seed used and the ear test will tell
you all about it,
Either the rag doll or saw dust box
will give good results. Any box three
or four inches deep and about 3x3h
feet will be large enough for testing
one bushel Of ears. Sawdust, sand,
blankets or anything that will hold
moisture fairly we'll and give smooth
even surface should be used. The
kernels should be placed on the
smooth surface. From four to six
kernels should be taken from each
ear for the test Only the ears whose
kernels show strong termination
should be used for seed. The time is
short for testing and the visible sup
ply of seed corn is low So get busy
and test SO you will know whether or
not you will have to buy seed corn
before it is too late.

TRACTOR HITS BRIDGE; $50 !.

! KERWHALLOP SHE GOES

Geo. Wieland of the Hurricane is
not to be outdone by his son, Chas.,
as the hero of thrilling incidents. Not
that George seeks danger. Not at all
danger seeks him. A few years ago
Geo. was run over by a moving ma
chine and bears the scars of that con-
flict to this day right on the top of his
head. Almost near the bald spot in
fact. But we digress-
Last Thursday afternoon George
and his engineer, Will Kerr, were
running their trusty threshing engine
and the clover huller north from the
Hurricane towards BeetOWn. They
reached the lower Pigeon bridge and
George thought they might cross with
out bracing. AS the engine reached
the center Of the forty foot span the
upstream top girder buckled and then
the whole bridge gave way. George
hung to the bridge work but Will
flew in the water It wasn't warm
either. The engine blew off steam
through a broken pipe and went into
the water along with Will There it
was up to Saturday. Not much dam
age was done Except to the bridge
and that is Is years old) and the out
fit will be taken out when the rain
stops The drop was about IL feet.
Another lucky escape for the Wieland
family, not to say Billy Kerr.

SURE FOCH IS ABLE
LIEUT.. LARREGAIN SPEAKS HIGH.
LY OF ALLIED COMMANDER
ARMY MORALE HIGH.

Lieut.. Larregain, the French officer
with the remount division Of the U.
S. army here last week to buy army
horses, gave an interview on the pres
ent crisis in Europe and the appoint
ment Of Gen. Foch as chief of the al
lied arms.
Gen. Foch is highly respected in
France" said the officer. Gen. Pc
tain is also a great favorite and re-
markable officer. His men are great
ly attached to him and would go
through hell for him. Gen. Petains
popularity is due to no small extent
to his deep interest in the welfare Of
the men. It is his plan that a man
shall have six days leave Of absence
every three or four months He also
has taken pains to see that men have
necessary physical comforts
''The morale of an army depends
upon the spirit behind the lines, as
much as upon soldiers themselves.
The record of my people, up to this
time, is such as to indicate no danger
of the breaking down of the morale
Of the French nation, and [ feel con-
fident our armies will continue to do
their part until the war is concluded"
Lieut.. Larregain said the seventy
mile gun of the Germans was no sur
prise to him, as the impractical weap-
on was brought into play largely as
psychological element He said the
French had designs for such a gun
several years ago but it had never
been used because of the great ex-
pense that is attached to it's opera
ton.

Although the real combing of the
county for subscriptions will not be-
gin until April 18th, many places

minutes for school district No. 5, S..
Lancaster, to start with $4,950.00 at
a meeting called in the school house
by Ed. Austin, chairman of the mems
committee. Everyone present, both
men and women, responded with al
acrity to the call, and all agreed that
the amount would be doubled when
the district is thoroughly gone over.
While only few from district No.
were present $4,000 was pledged
as a nucleus, and VIM. Kerr Sr., first

old for much fight, but was coming
across" with money to back the U. S.

SMALL BOY AND MATCHES:
WOWIE GOES THE SIREN.

A small boy and a box of matches
proved an effective combination at
the Delos Edwards home last We'd
nesday morning about 9 o'clock. The
fire originated in a clothes closet and
the alarm went in at once. The new
electric siren got its first workout
and the 'firemen were summoned in a
more or less loud manner. The blaze
was soon out, The damage was little
beyond the loss of two silk dresses
of Mrs. Edwards, some furs and a
dress suit and 9th clothing belong
ing to Mr.. Edwards. An electric fan
and library lamp of Roy's also were
damaged.

COUNTY TO ERECT
STEEL FLAG POLE.

Work has begun on erection of a
6O foot steel flag pole on the north
east corner of the courthouse grounds.
Roy Grindell has the contract for the
work. The pole will be set in con-
crete and put up in sections until it
towers as high as the building. The
flag will be 8x12 and of the best ma
terials. "Old Glory" will go aloft
each morning and come down each
evening, except during stormy wealth
er. The flag regulations in regard to
hosting and removing will be OBJ
served and the fabric will not touch
the ground when lowered.
Owing to the difficulty of main
tanning a flag on top of the building
the county board at it's last session
voted for the f1agpole.

GARDENS FROM FROST.

One OF the most important ques-
lions confronting the nation is to in
crease the available food supply. Your
garden may help materially.
1t is your patriotic duty to plant
wisely and to cultivate and protect
the garden in every way possible.
Thousands of gardens are seriously
damaged by frost each year. Much of
this can be avoided.
The weather bureau issues timely
warnings of frosts and protective
measures usually can be taken.
A light covering Of straw, or if the
garden is small, few old burlap bags
or an old comforter or two will prove
effective. If the wind is light, smudge
fires of damp straw or stable manure
are good.
When you receive a frost warning,
telephone it to your neighbors. Their
gardens also need protection. Watch
the forecast.
