SEED CORN SITUATION

Reports from So OF the seed corn
census taken in Audubon county in
dictate that there is in sight good
supply of corn from which to select
seed, according to County Agent p.
M. Wolf These reports show that
the farmers over the county have
2413 bushels of seed corn to sell,
while the amount OF seed needed by
those who want to buy is 2549 bush
els. The reports indicate 1920
bushels of 1916 and 46.44S bushels
of 1917 in cribs.
whether this corn will be good
for seed will depend upon the in
.dividual ear test" stated County
Agent Wolf today. II find that only
1872 per cent of the 1445 farmers
reported to date intend to make the
ought TO be made by 100 per cent
of the farmers in Audubon county,
especially since every effort of this
kind viii help to produce war time
crop this summer.
I'VE will not have to go outside
for seed corn if every farmer will
get busy with his seed corn and test
all ears that look like they might
grow. Let every man keep working
at this seed corn problem from now
until every neighbor in the county
is supplied. and all the corn that will
grow is selected, and we will not
only have enough corn for our own
county but will be in a position to
help the adjoining counties. While
doing this important little job on
the farm the farmer will be deliver
ing a mighty hard blow that will
help win the war"

BUY LIBERTY BONDS TO LIMIT

An article recently published in
some papers of the central west gave
an erroneous impression as TO the
part the farmer should play in finan-
cling the great struggle for liberty
and world freedom. II suggested that
the farmer should not borrow money
with which to buy Liberty Bonds
that he should not Inconvenience"
himself in lending financial support
at this critical time in the history Of
the nation.
This is no time to think of incon-
veHience at home. If Inconvenience
is TO be the basis of thought let the
American farmer consider first the
inconvenience of the boys on the fir
ing line in France. At this partic-
ular time it is up to all Americans
TO make sacrifices. This is no time
to think of comfortable financial cir
cumstances and freedom from incon-
venience. The government is at a
great deal of inconvenience. If the
boys at the blazing, thunderous front
are standing in muddy trenches
lodging shell splinters and Hun bull
lets and facing the terrible gas at
tacks. there is no reason why the

buy Liberty bonds to the limit.
Stretch your financial system to the
breaking point, if need be, to sup
port your Government and the boys
who are actually engaged in the bus
mess of fighting your fight.
If you haven't the money at hand
to do your full duty toward the great
cause. go out and borrow It from
your bank-borow so that you may
buy bonds until it hurts" Your
financial support may be a measure
of your practical patriotism the
nation needs practical patriots at this
critical period.

While this says the farmer ought
to buy, it by no means excuses the
town man from doing his duty the
same as the farmer

SPIES USED OLD STAMPS

1t was inevitable that with the
United States in the war the stamp
collectors and dealers of America
I should have to suffer, just as phi
lately has been handicapped by gov
eminent restrictions in England, in
France and other countries since the
world conflict began, says Kent Is.
Stiles, in Boys Life for April.
You may be surprised to learn
that German spies in this country
have been using postage stamps to
convey important information from
America to rlin--information in
tended to help Germany defeat our
nation.
Suppose you arranged seven
stamps in row on an approved sheet
stamps from Albania, Mexico. Egg
ypt. Rumania, Italy, Canada and Ar
gentina. The first letters of each OF
these spell America" A great many
other ways exist, by the uses of col
ors and watermarks, etc, by which
messages could be conveyed secretly
through stamps being prearranged
on sheets and sent seemingly as inno-
cent shipments in letters to Germany
not through England or France, but
perhaps through Mexico, Cuba, Den
mark and thence to the military au-
thorities in Berlin.
Thus. when our secret service ag-
ents discovered that such messages
had actually been sent by some such
route and by using stamps, it became
necessary of course. to prevent the
continuance of the practice. So at
various Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific
ports and along the Mexican border,
the American censors began opening
letters, as they have the legal right
to do under the new Espionage Act,
and soon dealers and collectors began
to discover that their stamp consign-
ments. both incoming and outgoing,
were being removed. Some of these
shipments have been returned TO
senders; others are being retained
and may not be restored until after
the war.
American philatelists recognize
the necessity for this censorship and
the justice n it, and they do not in
tend to protest that it is unfair. The
nation is at war; spy activities must
not be permitted.

6TECHER AND CADDOCK
TO HAVE MATCH SOON

Earl Caddock champion wrestler
of the world. has been matched to
meet John Olin, the Finnish champ
lon in Des Moines Friday evening,
April IL.
Arrangements were made for the
match by Oscar Thorson. who re-
turned from Omaha this morning.
Olin, known as the Terrible
Swede," is one of the best men on
the mat today and will be a worthy
opponent for Caddock.
Thorson Makes Bid
Thcrson, who had matched Olin
and Joe Stecher for that date, upon
hearing that an Omaha promoter
was about to close a deal for Cad
dock-Olin match went to the Nebras-
ka city Saturday and overbid the
competitors. He considers a bout
with Caddock is a much better at
traction than Stecher affair.
The match will be for two out of
three falls.
Olin is one of the leading wrestlers
of the country and has never been
thrown. Such grapplers a. Joe
Stecher, Wladek Zbyszko and
Stranger Lewis have been unable to
force his shoulders to the mat. Olin
even won a referees decision over
Stecher, the Finn being the first man
to put a crimp in the Nebraskan' 5
record.
That was two years ago when
Stecher quit after being unable TO
down Olin in two hours of wrestling.
Prior to that lime Stecher had
thrown every opponent in phenom-
email time.
Olin is giant of the Zbyszko
type. He is an old head at the game
and a tough man, especially on the
defense. Caddock, as usual. viii
wrestle under a serious weight but
believes that he can more than hold
his own with his speed and science
Stecher Match TO Follow
Joe Stecher will be given a match
with Caddock, probably on July 4,
according TO a statement by Gene
Melady, the match to be staged in
Des Moines or Omaha.
Stecher has been promised a re-
turn match if he remains undefeated
and he recently wrestled two hours
to a draw with Wladek Zbyszko at
New York Many mat critics say
that he outwrestled the giant Pole
The match would be one of the
bigget events of the year and would
no doubt draw "a large crowd away
from the Fulton-Willard bout which
is to be held on that date.
VIII Get Lewis
Thorson intends, however. TO fol-
low the Olin-Caddock match with
Stranger Lewis, who won from the
Pole few days ago on a foul.
The local promoter intends, if pos
sible, to show Des Moines wrestling
fans the four greatest wrestlers in
the game today namely, Caddock.
Stecher, Lewis and DIN.
The Stranger has been terrorizing
the heavyweight wrestlers with his
famous deadlock, and no doubt he
: would prove a hard man for Caddock
to defeat.

WOMEN ARE ORGANIZED

The women in our county are be-
ing rapidly organized so they may
exercise an influence in the work
of the next Liberty Loan. In the
other two loans women have played
an important part in many localities.
BY thorough understanding of how
the government must be financed,
she will be more willing that her
family saves and does its utmost to
back Uncle Sam with its money. In
Waterloo, during the last Liberty
Loan Campaign, two thousand out
of the seven thousand subscriptions
were taken by the women. Audi
bon county women are as patriotic
as can be found anywhere and we
are sure we will make a splendid
showing in the present campaign. 1t
is desired that so far as possible, at
least one of the bonds of the family
shall be taken in the name of a
woman member of that household.

ONE SACK OF CORN
Is WORTH MONEY

If a man loses a sack or corn with
a red tag on it he is losing some
thing. If il has a red tag on it, ii is
a sack of seed corn that is being sold
here and il represents a money value
of between $25 and $50. Seed corn
is corn these days and also money.
The sacks each hold two and one
half bushels. 1t is selling for from
$1,000 to $1,000 per bushel. II you
find a sack of this, which is not
likely, as the buyers are taking no
chance of loss, you may look AT the
tag and find that you have found
something, sure enough.
