tablish neighborhood well on that
corner; permission was granted.
A letter from legal Counsel of the
New York Central Railroad Com
pany protesting, excepting and OBJ
iectfng to the assessment levied
against that corporation to pay for

LOOK OVER YOUR SEED CORN

Seed corn is generally plentiful
and of good quality. but it is not well
to take any chances.
If you selected your seed corn last
fall and hung it up where it had a
chance to dry it would be well to
select ears from different parts Of
the supply, take a couple of kernels
from each one and test them. If
they show a termination of 95 per
cent or better it will probably not
pay to make an individual ear test
If the seed corn is taken from the
crib or shows a termination of less
than 95 per cent it will pay well to
make the individual ear test. The
rag doll test if conducted carefully
is quite satisfactory.

Bad Taste In Your Mouth

When you have bad taste in your
mouth you may know that your
digestion is faulty. A dose of
Chamberlain's Tablets will usually
correct the disorder. They also cause
a gentle movement of the bowels.
You will find this to be one of the
best medicines you have ever be-
come acquainted with.

Hayes is among the latest to reach
home, looking fine and fit and with
nine months residence in a foreign

While the bugle calls some to stay
and some to turn back to the home
iand; some to wait on the healing
ministrations of the medical corps
and some, alas, to the long, long,
sleep that knows no waking. And
ct, tho we sorrow and yearn for
hose who will never come again
we are thankful and proud.
Proud of all of themi For the part
they have taken in this great world
conflict, for the noble principles for
which they have stood, the fortitude
and bravery with which they done
their duty and proud Of them as a

manly men.
Thankful for those that are re.
