In 1915, In the northern corn belt,
most of the corn failed to mature. We
had little good homegrown seed for
the 1916 planting. This should have
taught us a lesson. We should have
saved a two years supply for seed in
1915, but we didn't In 1917 the corn
again failed to mature and we were
again caught without seed The result
was that the farmers of the United
States lost millions of dollars because
of the reduced yield in 1918. The
1910 corn crop promises to be one Of
the largest on record. and few farm
ers' will have any excuse for not saving
an abundance Of seed
To save plenty of good seed is al

The Importance of testing seed corn

that these fine looking ears do not give

Common black sporting powder Is a
source of momentary energy In some
railway machine shops and Is used for
such purposes as loosening nuts and
bolts, breaking up scrap iron and steel,
forcing a rusted locomotive piston and
breaking metal cooled In a furnace. II

Paraffin is very useful, and does
wonders for the housekeeper, though
some people look upon it as a greasy
LIQUID unfit for cleansing purposes. A
soft cloth moistened with 1t and used
on the furniture in regular dustings
will brighten the wood. Many laun-
dresses put little into the water in
which soiled clothes are soaked, and
a little added to the starch will keep
the irons from sticking. Parafiin is

HARRY $. ROSS SAYS HIS CAMPAIGN CLEAN; CONTEST A SURPRISE

!. Harry $. Ross. who received his cer- tificnte of election as the Democratic nominee for secretary of state as the result of the September primaries. has engaged Bullard & Jacobs to repre- sent him in the contest proceedings institututed in the Superior court We'd nesday by Charles De Sales Wheeler. who claims that he received the high est number of votes. Wheeler alleges errors in the count and canvassing the returns by the boards of supervisors, charging the majority of errors to Navajo. Apache, Graham. Yuma and Yavapai counties. According to the of- ficial returns Ross had a majority of 35S votes.
 Mir. Ross stated yesterday that he was surprised by Mir. Wheeler's ac- tion fin bringing contest proceedings and scoffed at the idea of his indulg- ing in fraudulent methods.
 q made as clean a campaign as was ever waged in this state" declared Mir Ross. "and would not have the nom nation unless it was mine by right of votes While I do not understand how Mir. Wheeler can hope to overcome my majority, his complaint leaves the state open to recount.
 'Tf the count shows Wheeler the winner I would be the first one to offer my congratulations and would take off my coat and go to work for his election. That is the kind of Democrat ann"
 Mir. Ross stated that he was amazed when the papers were served on him, although he had heard rumors of a contest proceeding. He said, besides his large majority, he was surprised that Democrat could bring an action that was bound to disrupt the party.
 As soon as his physician will permit Mir. Ross proposes continuing his state wide campaign which was interrupted by a severe attack of influenza. He has been confined to his home for sev- eral weeks and is able only to at tend his duties as state treasurer a few hours daily.

CHANDLER FARMERS
 JOIN WITH COUNTY
 AND BUILD HIGHWAY

A splendid Illustration of the CO., operative spirit which exists among the farmers in the district southeast of Chandler. under the new Auxiliary canal. is noted in the comprehensive program of road building now under way.
 This district has developed SO rapid iy that tho county has been unable Co construct roads in pace with the needs of the farmers of that section. Conse- qoentiy a few of the interests in that district proposed to the county that they would furnish sufficient livestock and mon Co carry out a road building campaign f tho county would supply the equipment and supervision. The proposition was accepted by the su- .rcrvisors with the result that the work is now well under way.
 The program contcmplates the con- straction Of a total Of nine miles of highway. commencing at the Eastern canal on the transmission line. running thence south one mile. thence east to thc state highway. giving an excellent outlet from Chandler 10 the Florence and Casa Grandc districts. In addi- ton three more miles of road will be built. commencing at a point two miles east of the transmission line running "a mile south. a mile east and another mile south. and connecting with the Goodyear road
 At tho present time there are about a dozen men and 90 head of livestock engaged in the work. This stock is be- inr supplied by Cook Brothers. Broad wcn Brothers. Gobel Singh. Entrikin- McNamara and Tifal. Slauson and the bennitt and Griffen interests. If the program mapped out Is to be com pleted. it will require the use of this . stock and equipment for some three weeks yet.
 10 is obviously unfair that only a relatively few of the people who arc interested in the district to be affected by the new road should do all of the work on tho project. hence it is es- peciaily urged by Mir. Tifai, who was largely instrumental in getting the proposition started. that every resident of that district who can spare any livestock and Fresno scrapers send them Co the job as early as possible fn order that the work may be com pleted in time Co get the benefit of any fan rains which may occur.
 Tn building this new system of road provision has been made for flooding Tho newly graded highway in the ab- scncc of any rain. The pumps in that district arc SO situated that this plan is entirely rAacticable. As a matter of fact. a couple of miles of the new road already have been wet down and packed through this process.

COOKING AND BAKING
 TAUGHT IN THE ARMY

Among the many trades and occupa- tons now being taught in the schools or Uncle S&m's new peace time army. the art or cooking and baking has been taken up with unqualified shccess. The school for cooks and bak CTS at Camp Grant. ILL, is perhaps the greatest in stirution of its kind in the world. It IS equipped with ovens and all the most up-to-date appliances sufficient to handle the needs of 10000 men, and the school has everything necessary to properly teach the trade requirements of civilian as we'll as military Kitchens The regular course of instruction cov- CTS period of three months. which qualities man as an army cook. For those who desire to take up commercial work there is an advanced course in hotel work to qualify as chefs. stew ards and purchasing agents.
 The school is under the management of Alfred Wagner, who during the past 20 years has been connected with the dining service of many famous hotels. The course is entirely practical and every graduate is a master of the cu- linary art and is ready to take first place in any restaurant. hotel or bak- Ing establishment in the country.
 See the sergeant at the local army recruiting station and he will explain it all to you.~ This is an opportunity to gain an education during an enlist ment in the army that will mean suc- cess for you upon returning to civilian life. If you don't want to follow this particular line Of work there are 52 other trades and occupations that are now being taught in the army schools and you can take up any of them you like. And with every three-year an iistment a bonus of s90 is paid.
