Signatures to Catholic
Protests denounced
fraudulent by sup
posed Signato~ies.

The Roman Catholic protests posted on
the door of our office engaged the attention
Of a curious crowd all day yesterday, and
gave rise to no little comment from
many Catholics a number of whom eras-
ed their names declaring they had never
signed the documents. Mr.. Vincent ia
cobs struc. out his name and called upon
US to protest against its having been
there. He was not present at the draft
ing Of the protests and never signed, he
says. In regard to his mother name which
also appears there, he states that his
mother has for some time been, and
still is in Santo Domingo, and therefore
could not and did not sign. Here is a
splendid example of what the whole
thing is worth. The protests with which
these names were transmitted, not bear

PICK SEED CORN EARLY.


In another week or ten days the
time will be at hand for. getting
seed corn out of the field Under
normal conditions it should be gath
cred in iowa from about the middle
of September to October LIST, depend
ing upon local conditions.
There is every prospect for an
abundance of high grade seed ssin
Iowa this year." says H. d. Hughes,
head of the farm crops section Eof
the Iowa Agricultural Experiment
station. Conditions have been
very favorable for the growth of the
crop this year, speaking generally,
and it is well along towards matur-
ity. ALI that is necessary now is
little extra effort on the part sof
the corn grower in picking his seed
corn and doing it in good season..
1t is common practice to select one
bushel of good seed for about each
5 or acres of land that is to go
into corn, with some margin above
that for safety, and to permit of
careful testing and re-selection in
the spring.
The best sound we've heard lately
was the clink of dollars from several
of our subscribers pocketbooks.
Thanks for what we received and
here's hoping more of you remember
| that we can use the money.

Sunday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
I. E. Baird drove over to the edi-
tors home and took Mrs. Stoy and
the senior out for a nice drive in
their Dodge touring car. We went
west to Extra and it was a lovely
drive. The roads were almost ideal
and the car glided along as smooth
as ribbon and the country looked
fine. Extra is a pretty town but is
spread out over much ground. 1t
was sure a pleasant ride for which
Mr.. and Mrs. Baird have our
thanks. Guthrie Center Times.
