Light Vote Recorded Tuesday.

The result of speechless campaign
was reflected in the light vote polled
Tuesday in the state wide election. A
total of only $50 votes were cast in
Edgerton, as against 536 two years ago,
which is but little more than half the
voting strength of our city. There
was considerable cutting of the ballots,
especially on governor and congress

Pay Enough
For Clothes

NOu may expect your
clothes TO cost more this
fall than they did year ago; but so
does everything else.
The main thing to consider isn't
'How much do they cost" but "How
much do | get for the money!" That
has always been the main thing in
buying clothes anyway.
You can judge for yourself what
happens to merchandise when cost of
production rises. Some makers do all
they can to keep the price down, with
the result that the quality gets pretty
bad.
Hart Schaffner & Marx make all
wool clothes; you know you're getting
the value you pay for in such clothes.
We say $35, $40 and SIS for a
suit; we have some for less and
some for more. We'd like to
have you see the $35 suit first.

hA"D-lNG SEED CORN
Care Necessary in Selecting Re-
quireS Smelling by Hand.
Picking Out Most Productive Ears
While in Field and Storing in Dry
Place Is Only Half of Very
Important Task.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculturel
Smelling is one of the important
steps in selecting seed corn. The care
necessary in selecting and handling
corn to be used for seed requires she'll
ing to be done by hand. Selecting the
seed from the most productive stocks
as they stand in the field and storing
them in dry place free from insects
and rodents is only half the Job in pro-
viding the next years seed corn sup
ply.
Seed ears should first be nubbed and
the kernels from tip and butt should
be discarded from the seed supply.
The small kernels from the tips are
less productive than the other kernels
on the ear; the blunt, thick, rounded
kernels from the butts are just as pro-
ductive as any Of the rest, but because
of their shape and size they do not
plant uniformly when used In corn
planter with other kernels.
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor, but is profitable. The me-
chanlcal corn shelter Is likely to IN
Jure the germ tips of the individual
grains and to thus destroy or impair
their power to terminate. No matter
how large the required supply, 1t will
still pay to shell 1t painstaklngly by
manual labor, because the greater the
acreage to be planted, the greater the
ultimate profit.
Each ear should be shelled separate
ly into a shallow pan or box, and every
blemished, misshapen or worm-eaten
kernel should be rejected. AS the seed
from each ear Is found satisfactory
and sound, and free from poor kernels.
1t is poured into the general supply,
and another ear is shelled In the same
way. 1t is much easier to pick out de-
fective grains from a single layer In
small receptacle than from large
mingled quantity in bushel measure
or bag.

GIVING BEEF CATTLE SILAGE
Value Of Material In Fattenlng En-
phasIzed by Experiment Conduct
ed at Indiana Station.

The value Of the sllo in fattenlng
cattle was strongly emphasized by the
Indiana station. In this experiment
substantial gains were made on the
following ration:
2.5 pounds cOttonseed meal.
a. pounds clover hay.
144 shelled corn.
PIT pounds corn silage.
When silage was fed the cost of
gain was one-half cent pound less
than with dry feed and the increase
In profits amounted to from So to So
per steer. The cottonseed meal gave
much better results than oil meal and
tended to produce firmer flesh with
silage.
Where there is not an abundance of
grazing when cattle are fed the silo
will be almost Indispensable to econ
omy In feeding. The amount saved In
feeding silage will soon pay for the
silo. 1t helps utilize the coarse feeds,
and 1t takes the place Of green pas
ture when this is not available.

ABomb Raid by Shell-Light

The picture of a night attack executed byethe
English on a German trench In France is drawn
In the ,Cornhill Magazine by Boyd Cable
"The hour chosen for the raid was just about
dusk. There was no extra-special preparation
Immediately before 1t. The guns continued to
pour in their fire. speeding 1t up little perhaps,
but no more than they had done score of times
in the last "a hours The infantry clambered out
of their trench and filed out through the narrow
openings In their own wire entangements.
"0ut in front a faint whistle cut across the roar
of fire. They're off, said the forward officer into
his phone, and moment later a distinct change
in the note of sound of the overhead shells told
that the fire had lifted. that the shells pass
ing higher above his head to fail farther back in
the enemy trenches and leave clear the stretch
into which the infantry would soon be pushing.
For a minute or two there was no change In
the sound of battle. The thunder of the guns
continued steadily, a burst Of rifle or machine
gun fire cracked as spasmodically

the first of the storm they knew would quickly
follow. But there were no more shells for the
moment, and the rattle Of machine gun fire d.

distant as the gun muzzle swept around. The In
fantry hurried on, thankful for every yard made
In safety.
'But at the attacking point the infantry were

Is II planned to deal with all the acute suffering
such as is summarized above and to reconstruct
many villages In the devastated war zone SO as
to give the refugees fresh start In life and pre-
pare the way for again cutivating the soil, but 1t
is the purpose to apply the American system Of
Home Service" on a scale so grand that 1t Is
bound to have heartening effect on the whole
French military organization, for the French SOL
diers fight better when they know their loved
ones are being cared for.
In furtherance of this great scheme, designed to
bring comfort and cheer in the family of every
French soldier that Is needy, General Pershing,
General Petan, commander In chief of the French
forces, and Maj. Gen. M. P. Murphy, American Red
Cross commissioner, have formed themselves into
a committee of cooperation. Company officers will
60 through their ranks and ascertain from each
soldier whether he has any worry on his mind
concerning sickness or want at home. Reports
will be made to headquarters weekly and not a
single case will be overlooked In the relief work
that is to be guided by the addresses of families
listed Special attention will be given to the treat
ment and prevention of tuberculosis, which has as
sumed proportions almost as deadly as the internal
machinery Of war itself. Food and clothing will
be supplied when necessary and the spirit and
courage OF the previously depressed soldier In the
trenches will be enlivened by the news that his
family is having Its wants attended to.
"The great struggle of the winter will be the
economic struggle" said Mr.. White "The Red
Cross practically will fight the American fight un-
til our boys take their places on the firing line
next spring. 1t should be kept In mind that every
French soldier who is saved this winter means the

same view as William Allen White regarding
the Importance of giving primary attention to the
economic side Of the equation during the winter
months. He quoted General Pershlng as saying
that the greatest thing that the Red Cross can do
at present to insure victory is to stand by the fam
lilies of French soldiers.
Gas Bombs Poison Soil.
An interesting fact dwelt upon by Mr. Wishard
during visit to Washington was that of the pois-
oning of the soil In agricultural regions by the
gases spread over the country by the Germans. 1t
is stated that this gas has worked its insdious way
deep into the ground, so that unless heroic means
are discovered and applied 1t will be years and
years before the land is fit for cultivation of any
sort The devastation, he says, is beyond anything
In the history of the world, with shell craters so
thick that blowing of once fertile fields is abso-
lutey impossible Yet In this hopelessly devasta-
ted region the Red Cross has set to work to repair
some villages and to restore certain agricultural
communities, not alone for the humanity directly
involved with respect to the people who will thus
have shelter and means to go to work, but as an
example to the thousands of others and an insp-
ration to them to start in and begin life anew. The
hopelessness Of 1t all might seem complete from
single instance cited by Mr. Wishard-that Of
man who had owned a mill In village near Yer
dun. who told him that when he went to look for
the spot on which 1t stood he had to take a survey
or along to locate It,
It Is into the hopelessness Of hundreds Of situa-
tons akin to this that the American Red Cross Is
advancing with Its banner of mercy and its bugle
blast of inspiration.
