Farmers Are Uurged
to Test All Corn

All farmers who expect to plant
corn this year. will be wise If they
test their seed corn Immediately for
termination says Secretary of Agri-
culture, Charles e. Patton. Many
farmers who are counting on their
own corn to germinate properly are
being very much surprised with the
actual tests they are getting. Corn
Which tested good last Thanksgiving
will probably test very poorly now,
f. ii has been exposed to the severe
weather of this winter. Many in
stances are on record at the State
Department of Agriculture of the
gerrniration dropping from 80 per
cent. to 80 per cent. on corn which
has been exposed.
The Bureau of Markets has found
81 eat difficulty in securing any
quantity of corn testing 85 per cent
or better. They are on the constant
lookout for it, and any farmers who
have corn suitable for seed, are re-
qdested to send in six representative
ears as sample for termination test
The Bureau of Markets is issuing
price list of few lots of good seed
corn for sale. All inquirers will re.
ceive a copy of this list promptly.

Plan Drive to Enlist
Youths as Workers

A campaign will be launched here
next week, under the craftsmanship
of DIR. G. B. Eager, Jr., for enlist
ment of boys in the United States
Boys Working Reserve, of the De-
partment of Labor. The drive will
open, Saturday.
The U. s. Boys Working Reserve
Is a registered army of patriotic
youths, between the ages of sixteen
and twenty-one, organized under the
u. s. Department of Labor to help
the nation where most needed to win
the war in field and factory. Every
boy physically fit, of proper age, is
eligible for this military civilian
army. He can serve his country in
three separate units of the Reserve.
If he goes into the agricultural
unit, he will probably work on
farm from a camp, or live in
the farmers family, and after six
weeks of satisfactory service he will
receive. a Federal Badge bearing the
Great Seal of the United States. If
he works in an industry which is
essential in helping to win the war,
he enters the Industrial Unit
and gains the Federal bronze badge
when he has served ten weeks sub
sequent to enrolment The Reserve
recommends that all boys who are
at school remain there and use their
spare time in preparing themselves
vocationally for some essential oc-
cupation. The boy who thus trains
himself and goes into active service
in a war-essential occupation as a
member of the Vocational Unit, is
awarded the Federal Bronze Badge
on taking employment.

"St. Jacobs Liniment"

Back hurt you? Can't straightcn

sharp aches and twinges? Now
listen! That's lumbago, sciatica, or
maybe from a strain, and you'll get
blessed relief the moment you rub
your back with soothing, penetrating
"St. Jacobs Liniment." Nothing else
takes out soreness, lameness and
stiffness so quickly. You simply rub
it on and out comes the pain. 1t is
perfectly harmless and doesn't burn
or discolor the skin. y
Timber up! Don't suffer! Get a
small trial bottle from any drug
store, and after using it just once,
you'll forget that you ever had back
ache, lumbago or sciatica, because
your back will never hurt or cause
any more misery. 1t never disap-
points and has been recommended for
so years. Stop drugging kidneys!
They don't cause backache, because
they have no nerves, therefore can

imprisoned for several minutes be-
| fore the second floor collapsed un-
| der the weight of the wreckage, car
rying them to the first floor and
| then, after another pause, to the
basement. They died probably from
suffocation.
The two upper floors of the house
were occupied by another family, all
of whom were killed. Mrs. Ford's
mother, Mrs. Brown, occupied a
room on the first floor. while be-
meath her in a small basement bed
room was Mrs. Ford's maid. Annie
| Coxall.
The maid, amid splintering tim
bers and crashing brickwork. ran up
the basement stairs to Mrs. Brown.
She found Mrs. Brown bewildered
] in the midst of falling plaster and
dragged her through the collapsing
walls down the stairs and to the
basement bedroom.
1t was evident the whole weight
of the walls and upper floors would
soon crash into the cellar, and the
maid placed her charge on the floor
close to the wall, pulling cot over
| her as a protection and placing upon
| this two heavy oak doors in slant
ing position, which she hoped would
defect the falling debris.
Surprised When King Calls
Failing to reach the upper part of
! the house again in answer to the
J cries of Mrs. Ford and her son, the
| maid had barely time to crawl under
| the bed beside Mrs. Brown when the
final collapse occurred. The iron bed
and the oak doors served their pur-
| pose. Mrs. Brown and the maid
were almost suffocated, but two
hours later they were rescued.
Mrs. Brown suffered severely
| from shock; Annie Coxall was unin-
| jured, but daZed. She tried to re-
enter the ruins in a frantic effort to
| find the Fords, but was finally per-
suaded to leave the scene.
Annie Coxall does not think she
has done anything heroic. She be-
walls her inability to rescue Mrs.
Ford and her son and regrets the
loss of her entire trousseau, which
she had been preparing for her mar
riage to a British soldier. Nobody
could have been more surprised
than she when King George and

Mrs. Ford and her son had lived
in England for more than twenty
years. The words of many of the
most successful English popular
songs in recent years are from her
pen. Shortly before her death she
wrote what she called an Anglo
American song-"We Are Coming,
Mother England" which has been
adapted to the tune of Tramp,

GOV. DORSEY NOT ABUSING
CLEMENCY PREROGATIVE

Atlanta, Ga, March 28.-If any,
body expected Governor Hugh. M.
Dorsey to show the marble heart, re-
fusing to exercise his prerogative of
executive clemency in any case that
came before him, no matter how de-
serving the applicant might be, then
they simply "doped out" the governor
wrong.
Some people seemed to think, in the
memorable gubernatorial contest two
years ago, that executive clemency
would become thing of the past
when Solicitor Dorsey, the prosecu-
tor of Leo Frank, became the head of
the government, but they reckoned
wrong on the brilliant young lawyers
character and personality.
Governor Dorsey, of course, has
not abused the clemency prerogative,
but on the other hand, he has not
hesitated to exercise it when he saw
mt. Hardly week passes without
palole, communication OF sentence,
a respite or pardon being issued
from his office. Executive clemency
is almost as old as the law itself To
attempt to destroy it would be to
strike at the very foundation of gov
eminent. Being a lawyer and man
of ability well versed in government,
Governor Dorsey understands this
tact thoroughly He will exercise
clemency when he thinks it ought to
be exercised. just as all governors
do III all states, preconceived notions
to the contrary, on the part of some
persons of radical views on the sub
ject Notwithstanding.

: EXEMPTING FARMERS

Atlanta, Ga, March 28-As pointed
out by Senator Hoke Smith a few
days ago, in a special dispatch which
he sent from Washington, farmers
employing men who are in Class /,
and within the quota for the special
emergency call now being made,
should lose no time to submit to their
local boards the necessary prof that
their men are actively, assiduously
and completely engaged in agricul-
ture,' so as to secure postponement
of their call
Unless exemption boards are salts
fed beyond peradventure that men in
Class who claim deferment on ag-
ricultural grounds are entitled to de-
ferment, they cannot defer them. II
is advisable, therefore, as we'll as
necessary, for their employers or
landlords to speak for theb, either in
the form of affidavits or in whatever
form the local exemption board NAV
require.
