PURE SEED HELPS
MAKE BIG CROPS

Get only the best tested seed. DR..
W. W. Robbins of the seed laboratory
of Colorado says: "Pure live seed
helps to make big crops. Even the
most fertile soil, the best se"d bed
and the most careful cultivation will
be useless unless rure, live seeds are
planted. 1t is safe to say Fiat with
the same acreage and with the same
cultural methods, with the same har-
vesting, the yields of the crops in Col
orado can be increased 10 per cert
to Is per cent by simply giving un-
usual attention to the use of pure,
clean, sound and vigorous seed. Poor
seed is often the only cause of crop
failure. Poor seed is largely respon-
sible for weedy farms. Weed control
will be useless unless more attention
is given to the use of pure seed"
Be sure that you buy tested seed
that is high in termination and pur-
ity. All seed must be labeled so you
know what you are getting. 1t is your
duty to get the best.

Congressman Hull, of Iowa, sent free

USE OF HORSE MEAT WOULD
RELIEVE MEAT SHORTAGE
Meat is Sweet and Wholesome-The
Horse Not Susceptible to Many
Animal Diseases.

State Agricultural College,
Sentiment alone is responsible for
the prejudice against horse meat for
food in this country.
In certain European countries horse
meat has long been eaten, and in face
of the present shortage of meats horse
may be practical solution of the
problem. The horse is cleanly in his
habits, particularly in the selection Of
his foods, has very few communicable
diseases, and lives on a vegetable diet
He is not subject to tuberculosis a
are cattle and hogs. His meat is very
sweet and wholesome, and in competi-
tion with other meats, is sought at the
same price where it is not barred By
sentiment.
There is world shortage of meats.
Why not open markets for the sale d
horse flesh for food?

COMPRESS WANTS
MORE MONEY FOR
CROP
FORMAL APPLICATION FILED BE-
FORE RAILROAD COMMISSION TO
BOOST CHARGES TO u 1.s AND
20 CENTS A HUNDRED.

Along with other business institu-
tons, the Americas Compress Com
pany has felt the pinch Of economic
conditions, with the result that formal
application has just been filed with
the Railroad commission by that con-
Germ, asking authority to boost its
rates for pressing cotton bales.
The plant which is now operated by
the Atlantic Compress Company, is an
important one among Americas indus
tries, and annually presses a large
amount of cotton, which is shipped
from this city to consuming mill
points as we'll as for export purposes
The plant is owned, however, by tn
Americas Compress Company, of which
Frank P. Harold is president, and tn
application for authority to boost it
rates is made in the name of this lat
ter corporation.
The petition asks the Railroad COM
mission for authority to charge IL IL
cents per hundred pounds for stand
ard or ordinary compression, such as
is usually applied when cotton is to
be shipped to mills in the United
States, and 20 cents per hundred
pounds for high density compression
which requires considerable additional
pressure and care in final packing OF
the bale for export shipment The
new rates would make compression
cost, therefore, g. IL cents for a bale
of 500 pounds requiring standard OF
ordinary compression, with Oh 90 the
charge exacted for high density press
ing applied upon bales designed fol
export
The petition has been assigned fol
hearing before the Railroad commits
.ion at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
Z; y 9th, when tho commission will de
eide az to the reasonable charge in
volved in the proposition to increas
rates. AS the petition is along SINH
! lar lines to several others already fiji
led with the commission by compresse
in different parts of Georgia. it is prCb
able the decision reached in these in
stances may also be made TO apply :

SUNK IN M|D-OCEAN
BY HUN SUBMARINE.
RETURNING FROM EUROPE WITH
NO TROOPS ABOARD-SIXTEY-
SEVEN MEMBERS OF CREW ARE
MISSING.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June &c.
Sinking of an allied transport under
United States charter on June 18th
about 700 miles east of the Delawar
capes, was reported last night by tn
navy department. The transport ha
no troops aboard and was westward
bound
Reports are that the submarine was
not seen until after a torpedo struck
the ship. The crew took to the boats
after the vessel settled and it was flu
tile to use guns. The u-boat appeared
on the surface and fired nineteen shots
into the ship.
Three boats with about sixty-seven
members Of the crew are missing. The
crew of 14S got away from the vessel
in seven boats, four Of which have been
landed The total rescued so far is
given as eighty-one men. Two boat
loads arrived by steamer at New York,
one by steamer at Hampton Roads, and
one by sailing vessel at Bermuda.
Under an agreement with the Brit
ish admiralty, the navy department is
not permitted to announce the name of
the vessel sunk. Unofficial reports,
however, are to the effect that she was
the Dwinsk, British steamer former
ly under the Russian flag.
In view of the fact that the vessel
was attacked far outside the European
zone of submarine activities. some o.
ficials here think she may have en-
countered submarine headed for
home after participating in the raid cl
tie American coast.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 25.-
Germany is about to undertake two
new offensives-one a renewal of her
drive against the west line, and the
second further u-boat smash against
Aemrican shipping.
When Chief of Staff General March
of the United States army and the
British premier warned of the open

The British steamer Dwinsk was
formerly Russian vessel, 8,173 tons,
and owned by the Russian East Asiatic
Steamship Company The vessel was
formerly engaged in passenger service
between New York and Archangel, but
with the breakdown of the Russian
government the ship was secured by
the British government and placed in
service as a troop transport. The yes
sci was originally built in 1897 at Bel
fast and was first named the G. F.
Tietgan, under the Danish flag. In
1918 she was sold to the Russians and
renamed the Dwinsk.
