Which is the more expensive: good
seed corn or poor? OF course you are
busy but it will be a saving of time to
select seed corr now. Next spring
you will be busy when that field must
be replanted. Why not take q day
off and select your seed corn? Next
year will be another season noted for
POOR stands Of corn and many failures.
Win by gathering seed corn while you
car see the stalk and before = lot OF
the corn is ruined by freezing.
II the farmers of Iron County would
increase the yield n bushel per
acre that would be bushels worth at
sl.50 per bushei $40, 100. Don't YOU
think the plan worth trying? The
world needs the 1000 900 bushels OF
,orn the Missouri farmers could pro-
duce by the precaution OF carefully
looking to the seed corn selection.

An Appeal From the Worker
To The Farmer

Union Labor. speaking for more than l60.-
600 workers in Missouri. makes this appea!
to the farmers OF the State:
We are the men and women who keep the
factories running. the trains moving, the
wheels OF industry going, the mines produc-
ing.
Many of US work at hard. grinding toll.
under conditions which strain every nerve
and muscle of our bodies. When our days
work is done our physical strength is nearly
exhausted. We need relaxation and stinu-
lation to give us strength for tomorrow's
task.
On November 5, the people of Missouri
will reject or adopt the proposed Prohibition
Amendment.
This question is of vital interest to the
t%oilers of our State, and we, the organized
workers. appeal to you, the farmer. to Join
us in defeating this proposed amendment.
The adoption Of this amendment would
throw $4,000 of our workers cut of employ
rent. 1t would force thousands Of them to
give up the homes they have paid for out Of
their lifetime savings, and make it practically
impossible for thousands of Others to earn
q living. because they have no other occupa-
tons.
It would also deprive the workers of the
pure, healthful light beverages to which they
have been accustomed. and which are abso-
lutely essential to their welI-being. Bcver-
ages Light in alcoholic content always have
been recognized as necessary Tor the tolier.
and malt beverages are especially refreshing,
stimulating and beneficial. We, the workers,
always have enjoyed the privilege ct these
beverages, and now certain a~gitators aye al
tempting to deny us the privileges which a.
ways have been guaranteed to us by our Con-
st.tution.
Many workers in factory and mill came
from the farms, and the workers always have
stood by the farmers. The tiIlers OF the soil
f.. have been welcome guests at our conventions.
and we have used our influence to aid tha
farmer in getting beneficial legislation. We
propose to stand by the farmers in the future
as we have in the past.
But we think it is only fair for us to ask
that h efar,ners reciprocate and stand with us
in a fight against the ~abridgInent of our indi.
vidual liberty. the ruination Of our homes
and the destruction OF the business which
has given employment at good wages te
thousands of our fellow %toiiers. 1t is for thi;
reason that we. the organized workers. al
dress this appeal to you. our fellow workers
on the farms, to join us in defeating thi
vicious, undemocratic and un-Am.glcag
amendment.
The situation is serious. The prohibition
lists are spending many thousand dollars ane

prejudice you against Our cause. They are
trying to force socalled temperance lcgisia-
ton upon US, and upon you. We hold to the
theory that you cannot make men good by
law, but we know that, by education and the
development of strong moral character, IN
temperance can be eliminated. There is
practically no intempe,ance among the organ
lied workers. because they arc men OF prac-
teal education. who know how to conduct
themselves without the restraining influence
Of law.
The prohibitioaists have held a club over
our Government to force it to adopt their
program. They have interfered with the
Government in the prosecution OF the war.
They have set themselves up as the autocrats
Of America. when your sons and ours are
fighting to destroy, autocratic power The
editor Of a dry publication recently wrote:
Thank God for the drought that forced
the President to close the brewcries."
That is the spirit Of the dry autocracy
which is willing 10 see the iarmof ruined, the
wage-earner thrown out Of employment, the
safety of our nation imperiled, and the war
a failure, to force its program upon the
American people.

WHAT YOUR
DOLLARS DO
One Hundred Cents Worth
of Mercy and Relief for
Every War Fund Dollar.

Your Red Cross dollars-every cent
of every Red Cross enthusiastically
relieves uffering-actually goes as
you give it, for war relief. Not one
cent of any contribution goes into
Red Cross administration expenses
the overhead of War Fund admins
tration is more than covered by the
interest accruing from the banking of
the funds. All relief work not per-
tanning to the war is amply covered
by the normal revenues of the Red
Cross through membership dues.
Your answer to humanity's cry
your donation to war relief-includes
not only the care and restoration of
the wounded. 1t is mission of mercy
to the famished, the homeless and
helpless, the lame, the halt and the
blind-all the victims of war that ap-
peal to the heart of mankind.
The relief of invalided soldiers. re-
lief of the mutilated and blind, train
ing of crippled soldiers for useful pur-
suits-relief service for the care and
revival of soldiers on furlough from
the front-relief of children through
out devastated territory-relief of de-
pendent families of soldiers-relief to
prisoners in Germany-relief among
repatriated people returning to France
-children's refugees and hospitals
these are among the divisions of or
ganized work that carries practical aid
to its every object in a wide field of
activity. Its scope embraces Russia,
Roumania, Serbia, Italy and Armenia
besides the great field of France.
Your donation makes this great mis-
sion of mercy your own.
The Red Cross carries 100 cents'
worth Of aid for every dollar donated.

a few minutes, then turn out as an
omelet. Sprinkle with salt and
serve at once.
Potato pancakes are a great deli
cacy and may be used occasionally
for a supper dish although rather
hearty for the young people.
Mashed potatoes with a little cod
fish may be made into cakes and
Drowned on both sides.
ScaIIoped Potatoes.-Wash and pare
the potatoes, cut in slices and let them
stand a half hour In cold water.
Drain, then put a layer of the pota-
toes in a buttered baking dish, sprin-
kle with salt and pepper, dredge with
flour and dot with bits of oleo or
any butter substitute, adding a little
grated cheese or a few sliced hard
cooked eggs to make a more nour-
lshing dish. Repeat until the dish is
full, then cover with hot milk and
bake in moderate oven one and a
fourth hours.
Potato Salad.-Mix cold boiled pota-
to, n little chopped onion. a cucum-
Der and little celery or some chopped
green pepper; one or all of these will
make a good salad. Garnish with
hard-cooked egg and make boiled
dressing, using the vinegar left from
any sweet picked cucumbers. The
spice and flavor make n dressing es-
pecially good. For variety, cold beets,
chopped parsley, cooked carrots or
fresh carrot finely ground, or in fact
any vegetable, may be added to the
potato without hurting it's palatabii-
ity.
Leftover peas and beans with a
slice of tomato for a garnish may be
used in combination with potato. A
hot potato salad Is especially well
liked. Here one may use any fat,
olive or corn oil and heat the spiced
vinegar to pour over the potatoes.

THIS IS THE TRUE
RED CROSS SPIRIT
A Little Story With a Big
Thought in 1t.

A month ago the Red Cross chapter
in Bay City, Mich, received hurry
up call for $50 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags had to be made
and sent within 4S hours. A request
for help was sent over the town, and
the stores were searched successfully
for the right materials. Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age, each eager to lend
a hand and do something for the boys
who were going to the front All day
long the fingers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after bag received the last stitch un-
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman experimenting the making OF
the bags counted those completed and
announced that If every one OF the
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the bags
would surely be finished in time for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls. the little sisters, were wait
ing for her at the door as she de-
parted.
Red Cross Dunnage Bags.
1--WE are awfully sorry, ma'am," said
the older of the two, "but we can't
come back tomorrow. You see tomor-
row we have to" And, without in-
ishing the sentence, she looked back
wistfully at the pile of bags.
at is too bad you can't come back"
said the superintendent, "but want
to thank you, and we all thank you,
for the work you've done today. You
two have been a wonderful help, and
that pile of bags wouldn't be nearly SO
big If you hadn't been here. Good
night"
The next morning when the super.
intendent came down to unlock the
workrooms for the day she was aston
ished to see the two little girls stand
ing in the cold by the locked door.
."Oh, I'm SO glad to see your she
said. 81 thought you said you couldn't

been milk and butter to the Oriental
people and we are just beginning to
know their value. There are also the
lima, kidney and navy beans, as well
as n dozen varieties of various colors
and names that we may grow In our
gardens this summer.
Black Soy Bean Soup.-Take a cup
full of cooked black soy beans, four
cupfuls of water, one-half an onion. a
stalk of celery, teaspoonful of salt,
half-teaspoonful of pepper, one-eighth
of a teaspoonful of mustard and ta-
blespoonful of fat. Cook the onion in
the fat; add the beans, water and sea-
sonings. Simmer one hour. Serve hot.
Soy beans are often hard to cook ten
der. They should be well soaked and
cooked in the same water, as much of
the nutriment of any vegetable is vast
ed by throwing away the water in
which 1t was cooked.
Lima Beans en- CasseroIe.-Soak one
cupful of lima beans, cook until soft,
then drain. Brown one onion, minced
in quarter of pound of salt pork
cut in cubes. Add the beans and two
tnlrQS OF cupIul OF tne Dean nQuOr,
place in a creased baking dish and
bake until brown.
Bean Roast.-Take a cupful of
stewed beans and cupful of peanuts,
put them through a meat chopper, add
a half-cupful of bread crumbs, a tea
spoonful of salt, dash of pepper and
a half-cupful Of milk shape into loaf
and bake 80 minutes. Serve hot with
tomato sauce.
Peanut Butter soup.-Take cupful
of peanut butter, three cupfuls of milk.
two teaspoonfuls of salt, dash of
pepper, tablespoonful of flour mixed
with the peanut butter; cook all to-
gether and whip well with an egg beat
er. Celery water or minced onion may
be added for flavor.
