The unusual course of the state
 department in making what ap-
 Peared to be n public appeal to oth- CT government officials was adopt
 ed, it was learned, after the treas

 Diplomats have made no formal pro- test. The state department. however. has seen evidence of irritation amhnc, members of the corps in Washington. since the opinion of the Attorney Gen. eral tailed to sustain the departments s contention that examination exemption be continued it sought recourse through tho public statement the text of which follows:

 'Thc department presumes that the practice which has prevailed fin the past will not be discussed at this time; that is, there will be no Interference with property in the possession of n diplomatic officer or of his household. The depart ment, of course. ahsumes that no official of the government would attempt to pry into the baggage of n foreign diplomatic officer.''
 Differences have arisen between stata department and treasury department officials on the question. Treasury of ficials although reticient, let it De known that the discussion of the status or diplomats baggage began early last spring. The treasury was said to have formulated policy then and asked the state department for it's views.

Corn Planter
THE real reason for using corn planter is to
save time. However, if the planter is not accurate
it would pay better to plant by hand. Accuracy in
corn planter means uniform drop-the desired num-
Der of kernels in each and every hill If the planter
is not accurate loss in yield will result.
Accuracy in planting has been the main object
in designing the John Deere No. 999 Corn Planter
The advantage of using this planter is that with
proper handling it will plant two three or four kerr
nels in the HILL as desired. Every one of these ma
chimes is rgdly inspected before leaving the factory
The seed-dropping device on this planter is an
Improvement over all other seed-dropping devices
The John Deere No. 999 is equipped with John Deere
NATURAL CELL FILL, Edge Delivery Seed Plates
The surface of the hopper bottom and the openings
to the seed cells are obique or sloping The weight
of the in the hopper causes the seed to move to-
ward and enter the cells of the seed plate in its natu
al position. The kernels do not have to be tipped on
edge, and, therefore, each cell is filled readily
The Full Variable Drop Planter
The John Deere No. 999 Planter has variable
drop consisting of train of gears constantly in mesh
With this device, two, three or four kernels can be
planted as desired merely by shifting the foot lever
The gears enclosed in an oil-tight case, and it
never is necessary to remove them from this case,
which is dust-proof
The driving mechanism has this advantage over
open and close at every actuation of the fork by the
wire and constantly being released under strain
causing considerable wear and reducing the life of
the most important parts of the planter The device
on the John Deere No. 500 Planter can be shifted at
any time in the travel of the machine
The John Deere No. 999 is real variable drop
planter-it varies the distance in drilling well as
the number of kernels per hill in killing, and gives
greater variety of distances without the use of extra
sprockets and plates
All corn plates on this planter have 16 cells;
therefore the same drilling distances can be obtain
ed as on planters having g. II and 16cel plates and
without the change of plates
Killing or Drilling
Change from killing to drilling or back to killing
is made instantly. No extra attachments or extra
tools are required. Simply pressing the foot lever
makes the change.
The foot drop provided on this planter is of spe-
cial use in hill dropping with the foot; also when
planting rows at the ends of the field.
Plants Many Varieties of Corn -
Seed plates can be furnished for handling practi-
cally any kind of corn; also sorghum milo, maize
and other Seeds
The improved form of cutoff has a quick ac-
ton The spring knocker causes each kernel to be
discharged upon the valve without fail
There are no ridges or distractions in the valves
to catch and hold the kernels Sufficient opening is
left just above the upper valve to enable operator
to see the kernels as they collected for the hill

that the republicans made a clean

election. While John is willing to
admit that the farmer-labor party
failed to elect any candidates, the
socialists scored a tie with the repub-
licans and may yet be able to pull
down one office. Mr.. Tyacke received
one vote ON the socialist ticket for the
office of justice of the peace in Fin

ley on the republican ticket. John ar
gues that the republicans shouldn't
attempt to hog everything and that
George should withdraw.

TO RENEW DRIVE
FOR S. A. FUNDS
Effort Will be Made to Bring
Kennewick up to Its Saliva
tion Army Quota

In the hope that Kennewick might
come up to its quota of $1,000 in the
recent Salvation Army drive, an army
field worker called on a number of
local business men and organized a
committee to take charge Of the work
and renew the camaign. Owing to a
misunderstanding Benton county's
original quota was too large and the
local campaign was not properly or
ganized.
Through the efforts of Rev. Altman
of the Episcopal church, and Rev.
Mitchell; of the Christian church, and
some of the American Legion boys
S163.S6 was secured. The campaign to
secure the balance of $S36.14 will be
headed by B. E. Reser, E. w. Tren-
bath and Leon F. Semon. This COM
mittee intends to put solicitors in the
field and close the campaign within a
week.
This is the Salvation Army's an
nual drive for sufficient funds to fl
nance all of its departments for the
next year. The money will be used
for general relief, employment bu-
reaus, bureau of missing persons, ma
ternity and rescue homes the upkeep
which alone requires $4,000, protect
ing the $50 young girls and babies,
boarding home for girls at Bremerton
