To Cut Down The
Summer Ice Bill

Avoid opening icebox as much
as possible; colu. air escapes quick
ly and melts ice though the in
rush of warm air.
Wrapping ice on top and sides in
newspapers will prevent meltage
Cold air goes down through ice
box; it is therefore unnecessary to
have ice exposed to air when box is
open on top.
Cool iced tea and iced drinks of
all kinds by putting bottles in ice
box and not against ice, as this
melts ice quickly.
Don't put chopped ice in drinks
this keeps icebox open and melts
ice very quickly.
Buy large piece of ice because
meltage is about one-third greater
in small piece of ice on account
of surrounding air space. For in
stance, a 25-cent piece of ice will
last three days to a 15-cent piece
one day.

ADVISES HOLDING
HIGH GRADE WHEAT
FOR SEED
Agronomist Says Bearded
Varieties Outyield
Smooth

Prof. A. E. Grantham, who has
made a thorough study of the
wheat crop in the State and in the
course of his Investigations has
visited fields in the three counties,
advises holding high grade wheat
for seed. He says:
"The yield of wheat this year
will be somewhat disappointing in
many sections of the State. There
is a wide range in the quality Of
the grain, and many farmers will
be compelled to purchase their
seed wheat this fall. The demand
for good seed will probably be far
in excess of the supply unless
those growers who have grain of
high quality will hold portion of
it for sale for seed purposes.
There is considerable wheat of ex-
cellent quality, as good as is found
any year. These stocks should be
held. Close investigation has
shown that practically all of the
fields of smooth wheat are of in
ferior grade. Some of the fields
of bearded wheat will not yield
as well as usual, but they are far
less damaged by the unusual sea-
sonal conditions than the smooth.
The Miracle or Stoner, bearded
variety has come thru the season
with a better yield than any
smooth sort under the same con-
ditions. The Red Wave and Penn
sylvania Blue Stem are two of the
smooth varieties that are giving
very poor yields.
"While it is true that the fertil-
ity of the soil has much effect on
the quality of the grain, the beard
ed sorts, taking the state as a
whole, will outyield the smooth
varieties.
This announcement is made at
this time so as to induce those
who have high grade wheat to hold
it for seed purposes"

Friday, in Milwaukee, Wis, out
lined serious defects which it
declared prevalent in the national,
social and industrial life, and sug-
gested remedies which delegates
said take the most advanced stand
ever outlined 10y educators in this
country. Concerning the need for
compulsory civic, physical and vo-
cational training, the report said
in part:
"We urge the government of the
United States to institute and
maintain a twelve-month year of
instruction, training and discipline
for each young man and woman
between the ages of seventeen
years and six months and twenty,
such training to be carried on at
such places and in such manner
as may result to the particular ad-
vantage Of the individual in the
development of civic responsibility
and vocational efficiency, and to
bear the entire expense of this
undertaking, including adequate
maintenance allowance for the de-
pendents of such students in train

ment covering this award was
made some time ago but was not
made public until recently when
it became known through a British
war Office order.
The granting of this medal will
obviate the interchange of allied
commemorative war medals which
in the future will be prohibited.
This is not, however, intended to
interfere with exceptional awards,
American, French. British, ETC.,
when they are conferred on fore
igners for services of great dis
tinction for the reason that these
coveted decorations are not asso-
ciated with any war in particular
BY use of the Victory Medal,
the Allies will mark the solidarity
of all those who helped, from COM
mander in chief down to private.
1t will be a distinction to be worn
without reference to rank or sta

that French artists, who are ad-
mittedly ahead Of other nations in
this branch Of art, may be elected
to design it.
