Scarcity of Seed Corn.

In view Of the fact that shortage
of seed corn exists in many states, in
Guiding Minnesota, the United States
department of agriculture has sent
forth recommendations to farmers
urging that no possible source of sup
ply be overlooked. The seed stock
committee of the department points
out that on many farms in the states
where seed corn is scarce it is still
possible to find some sound ears which
should be saved for seed. In some
cases, however, this sound corn is be-
ing fed because the owners do not
realize it's value nor the need of it.
They have been accustomed to plant
ing much better corn and have not
stopped to consider that every bushel
of seed corn they feed now would, if
planted, produce a hundred or even
two hundred if planted next year.

AS to Retail Coal Prices.

The United States fuel administers
ton has made public a regulation
adopting and approving all retail
prices and price margins fixed by local
fuel administrators and local fuel COM
mittees throughout the country. The
regulation was made public because of
many apparent misunderstanding as
to the method by means of which retail
prices fixed by local fuel officials are
finally approved by the United States
fuel administration. A part Of this
order is hereunder reproduced:
It is ordered and directed that all
retail prices and retail gross margins
heretofore and hereafter designated by
any state fuel administrator or by any
local committee with the approval of
the state fuel administrator who APP
pointed such committee, are hereby
adopted and fixed by the United States
fuel administrator as the retail prices
or retail gross margins for the sale of
coal in the locality or by the dealers
designated by such fuel administrator
or local committee, subject, however,
to modification either by the state fuel
administrator making or approving the
same or by the United States fuel adj
ministrator.
And it is hereby further ordered
that any one or more persons who feel
aggrieved by the prices heretofore or
hereafter designated by any state
fuel administrator or by any local COM
mittee may appeal to the United States
fuel administrator to have such desig-
nation of prices or gross margins mod
flied.

Read Up on Civil War.

One Of the peculiar facts concern
ing the entrance Of America into the
war the stimulus given to reading and
discussion of the American Civil war.
The perusal Of Civil war histories in
England has become almost a mania
and more books treating Of the great
conflict have been sold in England in
one year than in America during the
last ten years.
The reason is simple: England and
the allies generally want line" on
the American as a fighting man. The
Spanish-American war failed as an
adequate criterion because we had
Spain so hopelessly outclassed from
the beginning. But some Of the great
est battles in the history Of the world
were fought in the Civil war. The per-
centage Of death losses in actual bat
tie were higher than that Of any other
war ever fought. The verdict seems to
be that Americans know good deal
about the sanguinary business Of kill,
ing.

Risky Business.

The danger Of discussing persons
when in company with strangers is
amusingly illustrated by the following:
/ Several ladies and gentlemen were
travelling together in railway car
riage. They were mostly strangers,
but the conversation became general.
One of the ladies had been at the
theater the night before, where an
opera had been sung, and was loud in
her expressions of disapproval.
Worse than all" she went on, ssthat
Nine. Black is much too old for her
part. Her singing is becoming I'M
bearable. Don't you think so, too 2"
she asked, turning to the gentleman
next to her.
Wouldn't you rather tell this to
Nine. Black herself? She is sitting
opposite you," he replied coldly.
After the general silence which fol-
lowed the remark the critical lady
turned to the singer with many con-
fused apologies.
ut is that horrid critic, White, who
has influenced my Judgment concern
ing your singing. believe it is he
who is always writing against you.
He must be a most disagreeable and
'pedantic person."
"Had you not better tell all this to
Mr.. White himself?" calmly inquired
Nine. Black. HE is sitting next to
you."- Chicago News.

Defeat X aiseritic Candidates.

Defeat Kaiseritic Candidates.
Among many resol buttons passed ~
the National Unity league, and pub
lished in the governments Official
Bulletin are the following
The nation must be able to count
upon both parties nominating men at
the Forthcoming congressional prima-
ries who are whole-hearted and une-
quivocal supporters Of the war aims Of
our government, and its purpose to
prosecute the war to successful term
nation. No man ought to be nomi-
mated by either party Of whom it is not
certain if elected he will support the
government in its high resolve to
destroy Prussian militarism and es-
tablish a just and secure peace. 5.
In order that the next congress may
be undoubtedly American and anti
Prussian, it will not suffice for the
nation to vote for a ttbetter man. or
the less disloyal Of two candidates on
election day. It will be the business of
the two dominant political parties
generally, whatever their natural divi-
sions may be as to domestic policies,
to insure that whoever be elected ev-
cry American district will be repre-
sented by an American patriot. It will
be disloyalty in either party to nomi-
nate or at the primaries to abet the
nomination Of any man whose support
of the governments war program is
reluctant or qualified.
In the interest of the nation we ask
for more. If in any district it becomes
likely that an anti-war candidate be
successful, it is the imperative duty Of
the two leading parties to effect
coalition against the non-American
or anti-American candidate in order to
make certain his defeat.
These resolutions ring true and it
would be we'll to abide by them to the
letter. If this is done antiwar and
kaiseritic candidates will no longer be
able to occupy congressional seats.

Well Summed Up.

One of the best war speeches we
have read is that of Rabbi Wise Of
Milwaukee. Speaking of a German
citizens attitude, he said:
"Is there any man who imagines
that because his father and mother
was born within the central European
states he must support the present
German government? I loved and
honored my father, who was a native
and throughout much of his life, citi-
zen of one Of the German empires, but
I will not dishonor my father in his
grave by believing that if he were
living he would not have felt as deep
ly as I feel that no room must be left
in the world for the species of organ
lied criminality, temporarily invested
with the name and title of the German
government" N g.
That bristles with patriotism and
sound sense. This country is squarely
against Germany in it's purpose and
pretense, and it is the duty of every
man who makes his home here to as
sist in crushing Germany in it's dire
purpose to establish blood and iron as
the rule of humanity. It is not race
problem. .".
1t is humanity proposition. We
have met the climax Of ages, and we
must stand for democracy to the bitter
end, and every man should rally to the
Stars and Stripes in the execution of
the trust which the centuries have
placed upon us.-Ohio State Journal.

Be Kind to Dumb Animals.

To person who loves animals It IS
heartrending to read Of the casualties
among horses and dogs in the Internal
European conflict, to say nothing Of
human beings. 1t is not our purpose,
Of course, to place the soldier boys in
second place, but we merely desire to
say a word or two in behalf Of the
horses and the dog sentinels and
scouts. "a
The poor horses are driven into the
midst of battle they have no other al
tentative. The dogs obey their mas
tiers they have been trained to accom-
plish almost anything, even unto go
ing into fgurative1y speaking the
depths of hell to rescue a wounded sol
der.
Many faithful, dog has been blind
ed by eshrapnel in this conflict of the
nations and many have lost their lives.
But all employed in field work large
ly by the Red Cross-have done their
duty. Fearless, and obeying command,
they have saved thousands of lives on
the battlefelds by ferreting out the
wounded, supplying them with refresh
ments from their neck pouches and re-
porting to headquarters. The "dogs of
war" are now reality and not pro-
verbiality they are doing their duty
fully as we'll as our soldier boys. Yet
there are people who say 1'kill the
dogs" They know not weherof they
speak and, besides, they are people
whose souls contain not grain of
hu1nanitarianism- standard in
life is million per ecent below that
Of the dog. "He's only tramp" say
many people to whose back door comes
poor starving dog begging for some
thing to eat 'Only tramp" But
what made the poor dog tramp? The
damnable meanness of the man who
owned him. He either brought him to
town and purposely discarded him or
departed from this part of the country
by rail and left the poor dog at the
depot awaiting his return.
AS an instance Of this we quote the
case of farmer who left on the train
several weeks ago for distant point.
His faithful dog accompanied him to
the depot and, expecting his return,
slept on the platform for many a
night, almost frozen to death. But
Willard Towards son, who is lover
of dogs, brought the poor fellow food,
and at last he disappeared, probably
tired of waiting for his masters re-
turn. Whether he returned to his
home we do not know. Damn mans in
humanity.

HOrsemen for the Army Needed.

A special appeal is being made this
week by Major John D. Yost, recruit
ing officer of the Minnesota district,
for men able to handle horses. An ur-
gent call has been sent to all recruit
ing stations in the district for men for
the veterinary hospitals and for the
auxiliary remount depots. About 1000
suitable men for the auxiliary remount
depots, quartermaster's corps, nation
al army, are needed at once, as are
1000 men for the veterinary hospitals.
Men enlisted for the veterinary
corps will be sent to medical officers
training camps at Fort Riley, Kansas,
and Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, where
short preliminary training course
will be given them before, they are
sent for duty overseas. Veterinary
students, agricultural students, far
mers, stable men, and men who have
been accustomed to handling horses
are the men wanted for these particu-
lar branches of the service. Only men
outside Of the draft age-from 81 to Al
years Of age-ars eligible for enlist
ment.
While an urgent call is issued this
week by Major Yost for the above
branches Of the army service, all other
branches are still open for enlistment
Ten thousand tradesmen of all kinds
could be absorbeds daily by the army
for a month, and there would still be
room for that many more without over.
