HOME CROWN
SEED POTATOES
Fully Equal to Northern Grown
If Planted At Right Time
And Properly Handled.

For years ii has been the aim of
potato growers to plant only "north
crn grown" seed. This supposition
has been that potatoes grown in a
colder climate were more hardy and
more vigorous in termination than
those grown where il is warmer. But
northern grown" has always been
more or less meaningless, for what
was northern grown for one region
was home grown for another. How
ever. Tennessee growers found Ohio
seed better than their own; Virginia
farmers took New Jersey and New
York seed; Long Island and Pennsyl-
vania sent to Maine; Ohio to Wiscon-
sin; and Wisconsin to Canada.
Now it seems that the reason for
the superiority of northern grown
seed was not matter of climate at
all and that under proper conditions
Of planting and culture a farmer can
produce on his own field AS good seed
rs any. This discovery will be the
means of saving thousands of dollars
heretofore paid for freighting potato
seed hundreds of miles and will tend
to lower prices which have always
been high. particularly when the
northern crop has not been of thdi
best. 1t will also make il possible.
BILE for the farmer to prepare his seef
leisurely and still begin planting ea'
ly. instead Of having to wait till
danger Of frost in transit was p
before having his seed shipped.
In recent lecture in the Colun
University agricultural course, ]
fessor Frank J. App. of the New
sey College of Agriculture, told
success potato farmers in his j.
were having with the new idea of
saving seed. According TO Pro-
fessor App, the secret Of the virility
of northern grown seed does not lie

In the Circuit Court for Worcester
County In Equity. No. 2s70.
The object of this suit is to obtain a
decree divorcing the plaintiff. Mary +.
Mathieson. vinculo matrimonii. from
the defendant, Donald Mathieson.
The bill states that the plaintiff was
married to the defendant in New York
City, June 5. 1908. where they resided
until 1909. when they removed to Wor-
plaintiff has since resided.
That though the conduct of the plain
tiff towards the defendant. her husband,
has always been kind. aifectionate and
above reproach. the said defendant has
without any just cause or reason aban-
doned and deserted her. and that such
abandonment has continued uninter-
ruptedly for more than three years past.
to wit: since June. 1910 when the de
fendant left the State and his present
whereabouts are unknown to the plain
tiff That such abandonment is delib-
crate and final, and the separation of
the parties is beyond any reasonable
expectation of reconciliation.
That no children were born to said
parties from sad marriage.
1t is thereupon this 23d day of Janu-
ary. lals. ordered by the Circuit Court
for Worcester County. in Equity. that
the plaintiff. by causing copy of
this order to be inserted in some newspa-
per published in said Worcester County

before the 18th day of February. 1918.

of the object and substance of this bill,
warning him to appear in this Court in
person or by solicitor. on or before the
9Th day of March. next. to show cause.
if any he has. why decree ought not
to be passed as prayed.

Poor Old KaiSer!"

If we don't look out We'll soon be saying. Poor
old kaiser! Why not let him go? He can't hurt
anybody any more" Probably some saying that
now.
It is folly TO pity the former head of the
German empire, those who actively conspired
with him in the enormous crime that committed.
If positions were reversed may be that
they would not be INDUCING in compassion.
They would be sitting up nights figuring how they
could get the most out of the situation-most in
material advantage and in adulaton from and power
their people.
The former kaiser has committed a high crime
against society and there will be escape for him
from punishment All the might that it took to sub
due Germany not him from retribution. He
viii suffer only what he and those of his ilk inflicted
upon millions and millions Of others. If have
to shed let it be for his victims, not for him
Stand aside and let justice take its course!

The Right to be WeH-Born.

With problems Of construction and reconstruc-
ton absorbing the minds of those who conscious
of societys ills the various aspects of childbirth
are becoming increasingly important Good House
keeping publishes in the November issue, timely
article by Olivia Howard Dunbar. She says:
Prenatal care does not merely mean
healthier babies. 1t means more Of them. By
actual proof, it has been shown greatly to re-
duce the sum of tragedies known as infant
mortality. 1t also very considerable
Iife-saving among mothers OF unborn babies
and at present the United States, among the
sixteen leading nations of the world ranks
fourteenth in this important particular. The
case is that, as DR.. Ralph Lobenstins has put
it:
"Thrty-five per cent of the deaths that
occur during the first year, 60 per cent of those
occurring the first three months and larger
proportion of the deaths during the first month
result from conditions arising before birth or
accidents at birth"
The time may not be far distant when cities.
in making out their budgets, will not only in
clude what they owe to the unborn child, but
will place that first of all. And the truth is.
of course, that if every condition. sanitary,
economic, legal, whatever you please, were ad-
justed with scrupulous reference to the inter
ests of the unborn, the well-being of the entire
population would thereby be assured, so funda-
mental and comprehensive is this matter of
prenatal welfare. The trouble with civiliza-
ton may be that we began the wrong end
of life

Our Celebration.

Rock Island was the center of the tri-city peace
celebration yesterday There plenty of spec
tators out in Moline and Davenport, but there was
more action, music, noise, and general evidence Of
a holiday spirit in this city than in both neigh
bors. Everybody in Davenport and Moline who
had a stunt they considered worth showing came to
Rock Island to put it Likewise those who had
no stunts get their moneys worth,
In Davenport the streets were carefully policed
TO see that made false move. If police
man had tried to handle the traffic here
chances are he would have been chucked into the
river. Here everybody observed the rules of the
road and kept in good humor. It purely
democratic affair.
And such celebration. There may have been
others where there more noise at times, but it
Is doubtful if any other city kept up such a
dnuous performance. The big centers may have
had the edge on in respects. but, putting
It on per capita basis. concede nothing to any
place in these United States.
