1t had any connection with the opposi-

The Socialist party at s.. Louis last

;o support Of President Wilson.
". Kicker. publisher Of the mag
az;ne, yesterday made public an ar
.icle headed socialists and the War"
which he said would be published in
the Nay number to be issued in April.
He described the article as IAN appeal
10 the Socialists and labor radicals OF
the United States to join hands in the
support of the war aims and the peace
uolicies announced by President VII
son and the British Labor party"
War by Democracy
Excerpts from the article are:
Democracy, real democracy. is be-
shining TO function in every one of the
Allied nations which are really fight
ing, and when democracy functions
through the Allied governments, then
the war indeed becomes war by
democracy, Of democracy and for
democracy.
81 believe -tne time has come now
in this country when the Socialists and
radicals must change their attitude
toward the war or they will be charged
with being ridiculous.
Surely the Socialists of America
may join hands with the British Labor
party, with the Socialist party Of
France and Of Italy. England. France
Italy, America-these are the only real
powers fighting Germany and on the
shoulders Of the people of these four
countries lies the burden of winning
or losing the fight for democracy.
II do not include Japan. Every real
democrat must prefer that the Japa-
nese should stay out of active part;ci-
patton in the war. and just for the one
sole reason that Japa:. is an autocracy.
Thousands of American Socialists
are in the army and there will be more
thousands called. There are millions of
Socialists in the Allied armies When
these comrades OF ours face shot and
she'll they will fight as passionately as
the nonSocialists. We, who are not in
tle army cannot WASH our hands OF
the war. The time has come for the So
eialist party Of America to unite itself
in policy and sympathy with the Labor
party OF England and the Socialist par
ties o. Belgium, France and Italy.
President Against Reaction
Nothing is clearer from the events
Of the last year than that the President
has set his face against the forces Of
reaction. Therefore it is of the highest
Importance that the radicals work with
rather than against the President.
True, lot of things have been done
which ought not to have been done. The

 Termination tests made of Arkansas seed corn indicate that the seed situa- tiOn in this state is much more favor able than in Northern corn-belt states. Tests were made by the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Arkansas under the direction of MT. L. w. Osborn with over one hun dred samples sent in by county agents and farmers from about 40 counties of the state While the percentage of examination of these samples varies from 56 to 100 per cent, the average of all samples sent in was 94 Ter cent. TWO-thirds of the samples sen, in test ed 95 per cent or better SS per cent ot the samples tested 90 per cent or better, six per cent ranged between so and 90 per cent and five per cent below so per cent

given to testing seed corn in this state. The extreme cold of the past winter, however, is sufficient reason to justify making tests to determine tho quality of the seed to be planted. A good index of the ability of seed corn to germinate may be obtained by the following method Choose 100 ears at random and remove three kernels from each at different parts of the ear, as the butt, tip and middle. Mix the kernels to make a composite sam pie.
 How To Make Germlnator.
 "A good germinator is made by us. ing two pie tins or dinner plates. Fill one with sand, sawdust, or soil. Place a clean cloth on this and spread the kernels out to be germinated. Place a second cloth over the seeds and wet down. Then invert the second pie tin or dinner plate over the first so as to make a moist chamber within. Keep moist in warm place.
 "SiX days is sufficient time to al low for germination. Seed germinating 90 to 93 per cent may be considered fair, 94-97 good, and 9S-100 excellent. Because of the shortage of farm labor it is of greatest importance that seed having high germination, 95 per cent, be used to avoid the necessity of thick planting and subsequent thin ming. With seed germinating 90 per cent or less, it would seem best either to make an individual ear test or to obtain new seed having a higher ger mination."

 Is any of this group of men worth dying for?
 Maybe you never put the question to yourself.
 Maybe you are not worth dying for, not for malicious slackness, but because you have never realized your duty.
 And yet there are millions and mil lions of Americans who are worth dying for. There are many in Mem phis worth dying for.
 Every honest man who gives his pro rata of property to his country, and much of his labor and all of his heart, is worth dying for.
 The business man who leaves his office and goes up and down the street selling bonds and buying bonds himself, and is then willing further to give to his country, without in- terest, part of his labor and part of  the fruits of his labor is worth dy- ing for.
 The banker who meets the assess ment against his institution without question, who makes the way easy for others to participate in the bur dens of the country, is a good citizen, even in these times
 The laborer who tolls full number of hours and puts his strength into his work and gives of his small cara ings his pro rata is worth dying for
 Go down to the Red Cross and watch the number of women who are not there for show, and see what they are doing. Go into the American homes and see what the wives and mothers of the soldiers are doing.
 Get on a train and see the man who quietly and unostentatiously of fers to share meal or whatever of creature comforts he has with a sol dier who IS aboard and you will find d man worth dying for.
 The honest and industrious citizen who contributes much for the SUD- port of his government is man worth dying for.
 But the selfish man, the hypocrte. the stacker in morals as we'll as in duty to his county, is not worth dy ing for. All of them together are not worth the little finger of the humblest soldier who serves his country.
 We are only worth dying for wher We are willing to give up all that we have and all that we expect to have for our country.
 Even so, we are not doing as much as the soldier who is willing to give his life for his country.
