Swaaqer Stick BETRAYED.

A discussion, which began with ac-

which has continued now and again,
here and there. pro and con, was re-
vived writes a New York corresponds
emf. with the arrest of a fictitious army
officer. who. let 1t be known here. car
ried swagger stick. The question,
"Why, oh. why, do they carry them?"
was intensified by the fact that one of
the detectives asserted in English that
had ii not been for the swagger stick
he would never have suspected the
camouilage captain. Luck was with
the detectives, and when the prisoner
was taken to police headquarters he
admitted he was not captain ut all,
but a bold, bad young man who had
been telling naughty lies and stealing
automobiles and other knick-kna cks
ever since war was declared. However,
he Indignantly asserted that he was il
legally arrested to begin with, for the
reason that army officers do not wear
swagger sticks right now. He seemed
to think that his arrest shouldn't count,
inasmuch as the detectives were mis-
taken in their first and most important
clue.

dation.

Breckenridge county so far exceed
ed its quota in subscriptions for the
Third Liberty Loan Drive, that the
county's chairman, Mr.. w. ]. Piggott,

county will get the desired Honor
flag even tho the required per centage
of subscribers was not reached. AT
any rate, Mr.. Piggott has put in a
claim at the St. Louis headquarters
on the plea that while the county did
not get the necessary number of sub
subscriptions; and should this claim
be granted, Breckenridge and each
town, which has attained its exact
quota of subscriptions and subscrib-
ers, will in turn get an Honor flag.
Last week there was some doubt as
to whether the towns where there are
railroad employees, would get credit
for the bonds which were subscribed
through therailroad committee, but
it is known definitely now that the
towns will receive credit according to
information from the county chair
man.

COUNTY AGENTS
SAVE MILLION
ON SEED CORN
Survey Taken in Spring Aids
Farmers to Obtain Seed at
Low Cost.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, June 29-Coun
ty agricultural agents saved Indiana
farmers more than $1,000,0O0 on their
seed corn a,one this year, according
to an estimate made today by c. Hen
ry. state leader in seed corn work.
This estimate, which he says is con-
servative. was based on the report of
the average seed corn price in Indiana,
when compared with that of other
states
Indiana's average seed corn price
was practically S., reports from every
county in the state show. While the
prices ranged from $3.50 to consider
ably above IS. some of 1t being sold at
auction for unheard of prices, the av-
erage was $3.50, Mr.. Henry's figures
show.
1t takes more than 100000 bushels
OF seed to plant Indiana's corn acre.
age. Mr.. Henry went on the assump
ton that half of the farmers had their
own seed, thus making 10000 bushels
OF sed corn, which the county and
emergency demonstration agents were
instrumental in supplying. The aver
age price in Indiana was nearly SO
below the average for neighboring
states as will be seen by their figures
lllionis, So: Michigan, IS; Wisconsin
81, and Ohio. $3.50
Supplied Through Survey.
If the agents supplied this much
cortland figures indicate they did
then they really saved farmers in this
state million and half dollars. This
corn was supplied by the agents
through their seed stocks and labor
survey. which located surplus sup
| plies, the surplus being transferred
from community to community ant
county to county. The agents also
| made possible the bringing into Indi
ana of many car loads of high testing
seed corn and the keeping out of large
| amounts Of purely Southern corn.
This saving was brought abou
| through agreement On the following
| seed corn prices by State Food Direc
tor G. /. Christie, a committee of tn.
county agents. and the Endorsement O
the state food production and conser
walton committee: Old corn, unsorted
$3.50; old corn, sorted, 81; old corn
sorted and tested. IS; new corn. prop
erly dried and individual ear tested
$3.50 to 81. These prices were no
set by law, but they were decided OF
as reasonable. and the moral effect il
the state due to the work of the agent.
served to keep the prices down.
