SELECTING SEED CORN

The department of agronomy, col

field selection is by far the best way
to select corn. You shoul go through
your corn field as soon as the corn
is matured, selecting and pulling the
ears that most nearly approach your
ideal for n good type of corn. When
this method is practiced you are en-

BOWLING GREEN'S AUTO GIRLS RIVAL IS FOUND

r There is a girl in Bowling Green
Who rides round in a big machine.

And straighten to the road serene.

She's heavy on the dress. | mean.

Then east to little old Venneen,
A prettier driver is seldom seen

and he declared in public address
that the time had come when we
should trade with nations by agree
mcnt and that reciprocity should be
our national policy. It's passage was
only prevented by the assassination of
President Mckinley.
"Thc proposed commission would
be composed Of two cotton growers,
one financier one cotton manufacturer
and one manufacturer of cotton mill
and will hold for a term
of five or six years. The appointment
of this commission would so enlarge
the demand for cotton goods that it
would be found that 100000 bales
of cotton would fail to supply the
worlds pressing needs. The problem
of over production would be solved. In
fact, it would hardly be possible to
produce enough cotton for the worlds
needs after this commission had had
sufficient time to open up the chan
nels of trade.
TN arranging for this legislation
we wish to say that the results Of
our investigation clearly brings to
ligth the fact that there has been no
effort on oum part to broaden the mar
kct for cotton goods whereas Europe
forN years past has largely handled
the foreign markets so as to bring
her maximum of profits on our cot
ton industry and today is pushing the
most active campaign through special
commissions and representatives in
every section of the known world, and
securing special trade contracts which
will increase her trade and dcbar our

Baker to Investigate

Ralph A. Hayes will sail on the New
York for Southampton to-day to expe-
dite the work Of bringing back for
burial the bodies Of American soldiers
killed in Europe during the war. OF
the $1,000 American soldiers buried
abroad, the remains of moro than 26
per cent will never be brought back,
because relatives have expressed a de-
sire they be not disinterred.
"Of course, the graves of all the
American soldiers have been regis
tered" said Mr.. Hayes at the Hotel
Vanderbilt yesterday. "About 95 per
cent are in France. The rest are scat
tered in North Russia, Belgium, Ger
many, Italy, Serbia and even in Spain.
In France number Of permanent SOL
diers' cemeteries will be established.
Secretary Baker has sent question
naires to all next Of kin, asking for
their wishes regarding the disposition
of the remains. Their requests will be
complied with. So far about 25 per
cent have expressed willingness that
the bodies shall remain on the soil
where they fell. About 10 per cent
have not given definite answer.

The Leagues Attitude
Mr.. D'Olier made the following state
ment concerning the legion's position
in respect to Congressional action:
"The American Legion, at its ma
tional convention, held in Minneapolis
last November, called CONGRESSES at

during December to secure satisfactory
action by Congress for the disabled
man, to the end that he would no
longer be an object of private charity,
but receive square deal from his
country.
"1he American Legion has waited in
vain for Congress to take action to re-
lieve the financial disadvantages of ex-
service men and women incidental to
their military service, and is quite con-
fident that although Congress has had
its attention called to this matter it
does not appreciate the urgency for
immediate legislation. which will show
that this government actually is play.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-National
Commander Franklin D'Olier an
nounced to-day that the benecial legis-
lation and land and home aid COM
mittees of the American Legion, fol-
lowing three-day session in Washing
ton, had determined upon four alterna-
tive forms ofihelp the ex-service men
action was desired within sixty days.
Members of Congress confess some
surprise and even resentment that the
Legion should thus serve them with
what is in effect an ultimatum, but
it is probable that the peremptory
language of Mr.. D'Olier's statement
will at least result in early action one
way or the other.
1t is likely that special committee
will be made up in the House of five
members each from the Interstate
Committee, the Appropriation Com
mittee and the Ways and Means Com
mittees to deal with the legislation
proposed by the Legion.
Four Sorts of Legislation
According to the program adopted
the four sorts Of beneficial legislation
required are.
First-Land settlement projects
covering all states.
Second-Home aid to encourage
the purchase of either rural or city
homes by ex-service men.
Third-Vocational education for
all ex-service persons.
Fourth Of compensa-
tion or extra pay based on length Of
service.
It is intended that each ex-service
man shall indicate which form Of

will play fair with their government.
"The American Legion again recon-
mends strongly to Congress legislation
embodying the optional features Of
land settlement, home aid, vocational
training or an adjustment Of compen-
sation, and now does not hesitate to
state that it expects definite action
within the next sixty days.
"There is no body of citizens more
simply asks Congress for as liberal
treatment as is consistent with the
welfare of the country-legislation that
will be fair and square to the ex-ser-
vice men and women, and also fair and
square to the rest of the country"
