that can be produced on one Of the
best corn forms in the best corn
county in the statesays The Fairmclt
Sentinel.
This plant will be of concrete and
vitrified clay blocks construction
frost, moisture and yermin proof, two
stories high. AS the best results in
seed corn curing cannot be obtained
on ground floor, only the second
floor will be used for corn. The first
floor will be garage and general
purpose room, and viii also have 9
heating plant to fire dry the corn and
protect against frost.
Arranging Curing Rooms
The curing rooms on the second
floor are arranged with system OF
drying and storage racks which pro-
vide for curing the seed under as
near ideal conditions as human in
genuity can devise.

An American Solomon.

The story is told of member of the American Red Cross, somewhere on the Syrian side of the African con- tinent, who found himself faced with something of the same problem the solution of which earned for Solomon, in ancient days, the reputation of be- - ing the wisest of men. On this occa- sion the child was that of an Arme- nian woman, found in the house of a Turk at Aleppo, and who, the mother said, had been taken from her when three years old.- The child she claimed as hers was little girl of seven years and she gave no sign of recognizing her mother. The American was pug zied to know what to do. An idea struck him. He told the mother to sing the lullabies with which she had been used to rock her baby to sleep The little girl looked astonished and thoughtful i; then she smiled. Memory had awakened, and the Armenian woman had recovered her child.

Besides the interior decorations, they set a low hedge be- fore the main entrance to the hut md low hedges in window boxes out side all the windows. Then the Hol- flanders asked permission to dedicate the hut as a further evidence of theis frfsndship for thA Americans. That request also the Y. M. c.

Merchandise Held
 Up By Gar Shortage

Ottawa, Ont, March 19-Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of mer chandise consigned for export to the United States is being held up htre owing to a shortage of foreign rail road cars in which to ship the goods to the United States. The situation embarrassing for some weeks, has been rendered more serious, it is stat ed, by an embargo placed by the New York Central last Monday against shipments from Canada, east of Buff falo.
 The embargo, it is announced, pre- vents loading here on New York Cen tral cars of anything but the follow ing merchandise:
 Newsprint paper, pulp wood, wood pulp, perisha]ole goods 9or human or livestock consumption, supplies fol American railroads and -shipn ents consigned to the United States gov ernment. There is said to be a great scarcity of cars even for newsprini and pulp.
 Canadian roads are said to be un7 willing to let cars go across the bor- der, as there already are 60,000 Can adian cars on United States rails and only 10000 foreign cars on Canadian roads Railroad officers state that the shortage will continue for at least ten days.
