serve itself
A man who saves is better citizen
than the man who does not save. He
becomes stakeholder In his govern
ment and he is jealous for the well
fare of that government in war and
in peace. In war he will fight for it
with his life. In peace he will protect
1t from those who would tear down.
AS America saves from this day on
SO shall she grow in benign power and
in the eyes OF mankind. "A bank ac-
count for every American citizen"
should be one of our national slogans.
The Thrift and War Savings Stamp
idea is freighted with a mighty change
for the better in our national life.
The Thrift Stamp is backed by the
United States government. Without
doubt 1t is the greatest investment
ever offered and it is in such form
that every American, big and little.
can take advantageso it.

IN BEST
FINANCIAL SHAPE
OF Recent YEARS
Smooth Transition of Agricul-
ture to Peace Basis Predicted
by Federal Reserve Board

American farmers are In better
financial shape than they have been
for years, according to recent report
OF the Federal Reserve Board at Wash
ington, which also predicts smooth
transition of agriculture and industry
from a war to a peace basis. The
boards review of economic conditions
throughout the country is based on
detailed reports made to 1t by the
governors of the twelve federal re-
serve banks.
"rThe farmer is said to be in the
best financial shape for many years, y
the review says. In the South he Is
able to hold his cotton for better
prices and is marketing his output
conservatively.

BORN OF WAR

1t is difficult yet to value accurately
or in some instances to perceive all
the war has brought to our national
life or pruned .from it. The things
we think little now may appear to
posterity the greatest. The Thrift
Stamp idea seems to be one of these.
Originated as a war emergency meas
ure. it has taken hold; has appealed
to the common sense of America, and
may yet shape the destiny of the
nation.
1t is patent, now that the war is
over, that the Thrift Stamp has come
to stay. If we get nothing else out OF
the war but the habit of saving. which
begets the corollary simple living. we
will have reaped the full fruit of the

colors are used for these. One OF
them is shown in the picture made
with an accordion-plaited skirt of
light pink crepe de chine and short
kimono of the same material. This
kimono is true to form so far as its
embroidered wild roses and rose foil
age are concerned, but 1t departs from
the original japanese model, having
fronts that lengthen into a girdle that
ties in the back. Its neck and front
edges have folds of georgette crepe
set in, and q border of narrow black

to the end but the plaits stop at the
waistline. These folds of georgette
with the band Of black ribbon make a
pretty finish for the flowing sleeves.
The skirt of this negligee Is long, as
is the rule with negligees. 1t might be
even longer. Satin slippers go well
with it, but there are many lovely,
fancy boudoir slippers Of ribbon or
other materials to choose from, since
a negligee must have footwear of its
own character to go with it.

to the blouse makers who have turned
their talents to designing new styles,
in which two co1ors, instead of one,

TEST SEED CORN
BEFORE SOWING.
War Emergency Taught Farmers
of Country Lesson That Will
Be Useful in Peace.
WORK IN MISSOURI COUNTY
Four Thousand Bushels Rejected From
10000 in One Section-Egg Crates
NTH Strawboard Cells
Used for Testing.

No, not a hunition factory. Those
cylindrical objects lying in orderly
rows on shelves are not shrapnel, but
ears of corn. The slender filaments
that are being sorted SO carefully are
not fuses, but sprouts The girls SO
busily at work before bench or box
are not handling picrates, but seed
corn.
The whole shows graphically how
one agent of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the Mis-
souri, Agricultural college went about
making sure that the 1918 corn crop
would not fail the cause of world free
dom for lack of viable seed. It is
representative of what many county
agents, the country over, are doing
now, wherever occasion arises, to make
sure that the 1919 crop will not fail
for like reason.
What One County Saved.
These pictures show the central test
ing station established in February,
1918, by the county agent of Living
ston county, Missouri. In this, and in
eight local testing stations scattered
about the county, 10,951 bushels of
corn were "ear tested before corn
planting time came last spring. OF this
corn more than 1000 bushels were
thrown out as being unfit for planting
which means that 1900 bushels of
corn were saved for feed. Otherwise,
it would have rotted in the ground,
making an equivalent replanting neces-
sary. More than 5000 bushels were
certified as being sure to give a salts
factory percentage Of termination.
In this instance egg crates, with
their little straw-board cells, were used
for testing-a somewhat novel method
that has found favor in some localities.
The kernels to be tested are planted in
the pasteboard cells, six grains from
an ear, and cell to each ear. After
sufficient time for termination, the
crates are opened and the ears are
saved for seed or discarded, according
to the percentage of termination
shown by the corresponding kernels.
Each ear has number corresponding
to that of the cell in which the sample
kernels taken from it are put for ger
minaion, so it is easy to make the
final sorting.
Results Shown In Field.
Over a thousand farmers brought
their seed corn to one or another OF
the nine testing stations established
in Livingston county last year, and
practically every field planted with
corn thus tested showed strong
stand.
The corn saved to the country and
the world last summer through such
testing stations as these will total mil
lions of bushels. More important, per-
