ORIGIN OF Red TRIANGLE.

The symbolic triangle of the Young
Mems Christian Association. now the
red triangle. which marks a honey
spot for every Allied fighting man in
the world, was the original idea of the
late DR.. Luther Halsey Gulick. Doctor
Gulick years ago conceived the tri
angle as the perfect symbol for the as.

ally.
During the years when DR. Gulick
was struggling TO put physical educa.
lion in the foreground he met with
much opposition from promoters of
spiritual education. who claimed that
the physical was not as essential as the
spiritual. DR.. Gulick saw the equal
necessity OF each so he conceived the
idea Of a triangle showing the relation
81 the spiritual, mental and physical in
The education of men. He believed that
the Young Mems Christian Association
should adopt the symbol which would
show that it worked for the whole
ran.
Doctor Gulick made two attempts

adopt this symbol. one at Philadelphia
Pa. in 1899. and later at Kansas City.
no. in 1901 Failing in both attempts,
hut with the characteristic Gulick per
severance he ordered a number OF
buttons 10 be made with the symbol
on them. He distributed these broad
cast and in short while the symbol
was universal throughout the country
although never approved by convcn-
ton. When the war commenced and
the Young Mems Christian Association
foresaw it's great work on the battle
fields. the color of the triangle was
changed TO red. atterned after the

SAVING SEED CORN
STORAGE SYSTEMS IN VOGUE IN
SCOTT TOWNSHIP.

Olvet, Sept. 25.-The opinion of
local farmers as 10 the amount OF
seed corn they will save varies from
3 to 10 bushels. Here are some OF
the plans for storing seed corn: II.
w. Van Rocket lays the ears flat.
ties them with a string at each end,
and hangs them up. S. Bartlema ties 2
ears together and hangs them up from
the large end The Shaffer brothers
nail up two two-inch strips lengthwise,
four inches apart and lay the ears TO
dry between the rafters. At the John
Cole place we found lot hung up on
an apple tree, and more on the clothes
line.
The Herald man spent part of Sun
day in the country west Of town. Pull
ed in at the Shaffer home just in
time to enjoy a good dinner. The
Skaters, John and Ira, own 100 acres
of land lying north and south OF the
Rock Island track. They have forty
acres of good corn on their place, and
the fall blowing done. We stopped al
the Charles Voss place on our way
home. Mr.. Voss has so acres of good
land, somewhat hilly, but he certainly
has it under a high state of cultiva
| ton.
At the Van Rocket, Bartlema Shatfel
and Cole farms the weeds are cut or
both sides of the road. right up to the
fence, but on the old Phillips place
we found a long stretch of that ole
time hedge fence that originated in
| the days of Noah. and looks very much
out of place in this age.
