Select Seed Corn This Fall
Seed corn should be selected from
stalks standing where they grew, be-
cause only then, with certainty, can
seed be obtained from
Stalks that have tendency to yield
we'll, as shown by their superiority
(Such seed inherits high producing
power.)
Stalks without suckers. (Such seed
produces fewer suckers than seeds
from sucke1tbearing stalks.)
Storm-proof stalks with ears at a
desirable height.
Seed corn should be selected as
soon as it natures, because
Desirable stalks, especially early
maturing stalks with hanging ears
are then most easily found.
Freezing weather Injuries the seed
before it becomes dry.
Warm. wet weather may cause ker-
nails to sprout before drying.
BOYS!
Save your corn for seed. We can
sell It for you.
1t is as easy, more satisfactory, and
much more profitable than selecting
from cribs in the spring.
Wanted by the War Department
The war department at Washington
has asked that every one save all
peach, plum, and cherry pits and all
kinds of nut shells or use In making
carbon for gas masks.
Boys and Girls Club members and
leaders are urged to take this up in
your communities.
Send all shells or pits to county
agents Office.

oAkES PUBLIC SCHOOLS
START FOR ANOTHER YEAR

The first seven grades of the Oakes
public schools opened Monday with
about the usual enrolment. Some of
the older boys are still helping with
the threshing, so there will still be a
few additions to the number. Most
of the teachers are unchanged from
last year, the list being:
PrimaryLRuth Nichols.
Second Caroline Garfield
Third-Mrs. Earl Bellinger.
Fourth-Della Hummell.
Fifth-Minnie Lind
Sixth-Jeannette Henderson
Seventh-Jennie Dahlbeck.
The eighth grade and high school
will open, as previously announced, on
Monday, Sept. 23rd. Examinations
will be given to those pupils who re.
ceived conditions last year on the pre-
ceding Saturday, Sept. 21st, at the
high school building at 9 a. m. Pas
sing these examinations successfully
will remove the conditions.
Owing to the resignation of high
school teachers, who had been Sc
cured for work in French and history
which was received so recently that
her successor has not yet been
chosen, the roster of high school
teachers is short one name. With
this exception the list now stands:
Principal-Elsie Davis.
Domestic Sciencel-Ethel Angel.
Science & Mathmetics-May Jones
English-Carrie Barclay.
| Commercial-Margue Wright.
Miss Jones lives in Mitchell, S. d.
and has been employed in Wisconsin
during the past two years. Miss Bar
clay's home is in Owatonna, MINI
Her experience was gained at st. Pau
Park, MINI. Miss Wright. from Alex
andria, Minn., has had charge of the
commercial department of the Rugby
high school for the past two years.
The war has created such a short
age Of manual training teachers thai
none could be secured. Under the cir
cumstances Supt. Gould will take
charge of one class in that subject
but the work will of necessity be con
siderably curtailed. The installation
of the new commercial course, it i:
expected, will make up for this loss
to great extent.

War Industries Board Creates
New List of Priorities to
Remedy Defects.
MAKES FOUR CLASSES
Plan Governs Issuance Of Certificates
for Fuel Supply, Electricity, Trans-
poItation, Labor and Basis for
Draft Exemption.

Washington, Sept. 10. - Chairman
Baruch of the war industries board
has announced a new priorities list
of industries and plants essential to
the war or civil population.
1t vas described as the master
key" governing the issuance Of prior
ity certificates by the priorities com.
missioner of the board for fuel supply
or electrical energy, transportation.
terminal facilities, capital, and labor
and as the basis for industrial exemp-
ton from the draft.
'"The inclusion of the Industries and
plants on this preference list" said
. the announcement, docs not operate
as an embargo against all others, but
the effect is to defer the requirements
of all other industries and plants until
the requirements of those on the pref.
erence list shall have been satisfied"
Four Glasses Selected.
Industries have been grouped into
four classes according to their relative
importance. No distinction, however,
has been made between any Of the in.
dustries or plants within any one class
and it was explained that no signifi.
cance is to be attached to the order in
which they are listed within any class.
The industries or plants under Glass /
are Of exceptional Importance and in.
clude those most vital to the prosecu.
tion Of the war and the public and
their requirements must be fully met
in preference to those of the three re-
naming classes.
Fuel for domestic consumption
residences, apartment houses, restau-
rants and hotels-is IN Glass 1. In
that class also are food, railways
operated by the railroad administra-
tion, the army and navy, aircraft,
ships and shipyards, war chemical
plants, coal mines and by.product
coke plants, certain public utilities,
ordnance and small arms plants and
ammunition and explosives.
Requirements of those grouped un-
der Glass 2, and 4 will be given pri-
ority over those not on the preference
list, but as between these three
classes there is no complete or abso-
lutte preference provided. Relative
importance of the industries and
plants within each group will be the
basis of operation,
Each plant listed in the three last
classes will be required to file with the
War Industries board before the 18th
of each month report of its activities
during the preceding month. Failure
to comply with this order will mean
removal from the preference list.

INTEREST TO THE FARM
BY A. c. KuENNlNe, County Agent

The men of the towns of Dickey
County have done great deal to-
wards helping with threshing. While
there may be some who have not good
excuses for not helping, these are few
in number. It is impossible to tell
the exact number till there is time to
check up the cards of all those who
signed up to help in case of necessity.
But it is a conservative estimate to
say that there are at least 100 men
from Ellendale who have helped, as
many more from Oakes, and perhaps
another 100 from other towns of the
county. making a total of at least 300.
Help Each Other In Threshing
Still there is shortage of help. It
is up to the farmers to help each
other where it as heretofore not been
done. 1t is impossible to supply men
if no more men are available. Work
other than threshing, If not too urgen+
ought to go by the boarhl One man
cannot thresh clone. He helps raise
wheat for others, therefore others
must help him.
Hardest Rye
The hardest rye for North Dakota
is the N. D. $50 developed at the North
Dakota Agricultural College. If you
have some of this variety for sale, or
If you wish to purchase some let US
know. Rye is one of the valuable
bread crops, and it is also a crop that
does not need work at the same time
as the other grain crops. It is also a
good weed killer.
Sow Rye Early
The best yields are usually secured
from early seeding. If there is enough
moisture in the soil the last week in
August or the first two weeks in Sep.
tember is a good time to SOW rye.
Good crops have been produced from
later seeding but usually the yield
will be higher If it is seeded before
September goth. Where the soil does
not drift summer fallow, corn ground
or potato ground will usually produce
the best yield of rye, but this land is
also in the finest condition for pro-
ducing wheat. Rye will do well If
stubble. holds the snow and prevents
pared for spring grain and that is not
too weedy. This is especially true Of
sandy soil. In fact, better yields are
usually secured by stubbling in than
by fall plowing such land and the
blowing would delay the seeding. The
s.ubbe holds the snow and prevents
drifting. Four or five pecks make a
good seeding.
Destroy Grasshopper Eggs
The grasshoppers lay their eggs in
land covered with a crop. weeds.

Business Courtesy.

A business man rises to welcome his
wife or a woman friend or woman
relative who visits him at his office,
but he does not rise to greet his ste
nographer or other woman employees.
No business woman is justified in re-
senting this distinction. The custom
cannot be construed to mean that the
man does not respect his women EN-
ployees highly. It simply means that
In the business world, as nowhere
else, women and men are all human
beings working together, and on much
the same plane of courtesy.
