crop or crops, and usually an outlay of money and labor which but few men can af- ford. Every farmer, no mat ter what the size of his farm or the extent of his business can improve his income won- derfully with a relatively small expenditure of his time if he will select his seeds more carefully.
 Seed selection is a fine art when practiced as an exact science but any person of av- craze intelligence can soon learn the basic principles of seed selection and be able to increase his farm yields. We often read of enormous yields
 
 In order to get such yields the soil must be in a good state of fertility, cultivation of the crop must be good and rainfall plentiful, but with all of these unless good seeds are used such large yields would be impossible. In the history of all good yields you will find good seeds to be at the foundation.
 To make Independence County the banner seed coun- ty of the state will require the majority of the farmers to practice field selection and a few to get into the business of producing pedigreed seed, that is a few to be real seed breeders. We want the repu- tation for Independence coun- ty. You never in all your life saw anyone who had a reputation of being better than anyone else in his line but who had money. Many is the time we pay extra for a trademark reputation. Let's get the reputation of having good seeds in Independence county. We need the money.

Value of Boys and Girls Clubs.

When the leaders of rural progress began to organize calf and pig clubs, etc, among the boys, and canning clubs among the girls, few people dreamed of the importance of the movement.
 Formely boys and girls felt they had no interest in the de- velopment of a rural home. They should perhaps have ar gued that as they were get

The Eagles Last Scream for Him.

There is a great sermon on national gratitude, or nation al ingratitude, whichever way you wish to look at it, in the brief story of Charley Am mons, carried by the papers recently.
 When the flags waved and the eagle screamed in IT, Charley gave up his job and volunteered to help run the kaiser off the job. In course of time he was wounded and sent home. The other day he shot himself to death in a Washington, D. O., hotel, after mailing his last dollar bill to the war risk insurance bureau, with the following note attached:
 sThe eagle will scream no more for me-
 
 It developed that Charley, after being wounded, had come home to find his former job filled, and for eleven months had been vainly seek ing for either employment or relief. The unequal struggle finally was too much for him.
 In these days of depression we seem to be working our "forgetteries" overtime on what these boys did for us. War profits, war prosperity, and the inestimably greater boon of preserved liberty and democracy which their gal lant work made possible are showed into the background to make room for our petty discouragements of the hour.
 That was the prevailing att mosphere which sent Charley Ammons to his bitter and cy- nical death. Take care that you are not responsible for the spread of that atmosphere and the resultant quenching of the priceless fire of pa triotism in the hearts of the young men about you.
 We wrapped them in our love and gratitude in IT and IS when we needed them, We ought not to forget them now, when they need us.- Arkansas Democrat.

 TWO KINDS OF FARMERS
 In a recent communication to Farm and Ranch it was stated that there were two kinds of farmers, one who continually directed his ef- forts toward getting a maxi mum acreage production by building up the fertility ot his soil, and the other who mined his soil, taking from 1t all he can get without putting anything back.
 The miner farmer is found in every neighborhood. He can be spotted by the general run down condition of his farm; his shiftless appearan- ce; and his pessimistic atti' tude toward every question As a general rule he does not read a farm paper or even . newspaper. He is always poor and much given to cussing the government. He is one cropper by nature; talks about working sixteen hours a day twelve months in the year when as a matter of fact he spends more time going to town than he does in his field. He is a failure on the farm and the only place he can make respectable living is on a job in town where the boss has the brains and the deter mination to make him speed up.
 The other kind of farmer never cultivates a greater

A PSALM OF MODERN LIFE.
(BY Will Thomas Withrow.l

Tell me not in ragtime numbers
Life is but a vaudeville joke;
For the guy gets left who slumbers,
And the slothful gink goes broke.
Life is speedy; life is hurried:
We must make the pace. or bust.
And at that we're always worried
Lest we take some fellows dust.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow.
Makes us pause beside the way.
For we know wen starve tomorrow
~ If we don't make good to-day.
Life is short, and time is beating
All past records in its flight;
Soon of mornings wen be meeting
Ourselves going home at night
In the worlds big game of grabbing
Everything that's worth two beans,
Each of us is madly stabbing ~
At success by any means
Trust no man, but get the money!
l. Capture it, alive or dead.
Get it by fair means-or phony-
Anything to get ahead!
Lives of grabbers all remind US
We must grab and graft and fiee-e
Keeping one eye trained behind us.
Lest We're grabbed-by the police
Grabbed. perhaps, and sent to Ian
guish
Where we'll wear ball and chain,
While the world mocks at our an
guish;
Mocks us and takes heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
While the Doing still is good,
FOR the guy whose wad we're wooirg e
Sure would do us If he could.

Of Magistrate Francis x. AIcQuade on a
charge of oppression In connection with
raiding the premises OF John Mcmahon.
a reslaurantkeeper of 259 West Forty

The arrest followed the arraignment
and discharge OF Mcmahon, who was
taken into custody on August on a
charge OF violating the Mullan-Gage law.
He testified that he had just taken pos
session of the premises and was clean
ing out the cellar when Clancy entered
and found a pint bottle containing a
small quantity of supposed LIQUOR on a
window sill.
II am tired OF having to sit and listen
to illegal evidence" Magistrate McQuade
declared. This mans place was not yet
open as a public restaurant and you had
no right to go In there without a search
warrant. I am going TO make test
case OF this thing, and ! want you to
understand there Is no personal enmity
on my part against you, Clancy. / am
simply doing this to determine the legal
right of q policeman to enter private
establishment"

the policeman into custody on charge
of violating section 81 of the penal
code regarding oppression. At Ciancy's
request the case was adjourned until

Primary responsibility for the es-
cape of Bergdoii Is placed by the
minority on Adjutant-General Peter Z.
Harris, who approved the request OF
Mr.. Ansell that the Stacker be released
The minority declared, however, mat no
one in the army knowingly parficipateu
in the conspiracy to effect Bergdoil ,
escape and that no army man received
any bribe in the case.
The seizure of the Bergdoll property
by the Alien Property Custodian is COM

gold she claims 10 have buried.

1T was known to Gen. Ansall that
yudge Westcott of New Jersey had put
Woodrow Wilson in nomination for tho
Presidency OF the United States, both at
Baltimore and four years later at st.
Louis, and that Westcott was personal
friend of both the President and the
Secretary of War. Knowing that he
took particular pains to inject West
colts name into the letter which he
wrote to Gen. Harris. and then in his
presence had Westcott write letter to
the Secretary OF War in Bergdolps be-
half, based on Westcott's alleged enor-
nous interest in the case"
AS to Col. Hunt, the majority declares
"he might have been suitable warden
for founding institution. but certainly
at no other place"
Concerning Col. Cresson, who prose-
cuted Col Hunt in the court-martiai. tire

In a statement tonight denying the
charges against him and issued by his
law firm, Ansell & Bailey. Mr.. Anseil
says:

nVER in Jersey City there
~ is a large place called the
Whittier House, where little
children may exchange their
pennies for cups of milk.
Children who buy milk there
at a penny cup are members
of what is called the Centadrink
Club.
During the recent Hudson
County MilkWeek the Whittier
House offered prize to the
child who increased most in
weight during the week.
Fifty children were invited
to join the contest. Some of
the new members of the Club
had forgotten what milk tastes
like. Many were ten per cent
under normal weight for their
age.
The fifty children drank
total Of l25 quarts during the
six days of the contest. Each
child purchased milk at such
times and in such quantities as
the spirit moved.
The New York herald., 1921-08-19
She Gained Two and a Half
Pounds in Six Days

Competition was keen when
the weighing in began. Every
child had added pound or
more; several over two
pounds.
The five dollar gold piece f.
nally went to a little girl nine
years old. A quart of milk a
day had added two and one
half pounds to her weight in
six days.
Now when Whittier House
gives an excursion to Bear
Mountain every family lunch
con basket has its milk bottle
and sometimes two.
Milk builds muscle, bone,
and tissue, and enriches the
blood. Nothing else serves so
well as a basis for diet. 1t is
the one perfect food.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland,
Health Commissioner of the
City Of New York, says that
"New York's milk is the best
in the world and the cheapest
at the price"
