For Heavy Yields

Selecting. curing, and testing
seed corn will do more toward
producing a better and bigger
corn crop than anything else. BY
careful selection the farmer i'm
proves his corn and is able to
produce larger, heavier and bet
ter ears. By properly curing
seed corn he inSureS himself
against seed of low vitality; and
by germiIiation test he avoids
sterile ears and plants only seed
that will give the most profitable
returns.-R. A. Moore, Wiscon-

Of the county by keeping inferior
grade or scrub bulls. l have a list of
56 owners of such bulls. Some of
these men have grades that are fairly
good individuals, while others have
scrubs that are the worst kind of
disgrace to the community and to the
county.
THE cost of good registered bull
is so small now that it is "A mystery
why any farmer will keep anything
during the last few years to prove out
the actual value of pure-bred bull
in dollars and cents"
Some of these actual figures were
obtained recently by the Department
of Agriculture through an inquiry sent
out to more than 500 farmers through
out the United States. These men
gave III as tnelf opinion tnaI III all
kinds of farm stock purebreds have
an earning power more than 40 per
cent better than common stock. 1t is
noteworthy that in the case of dairy
cattle, whose productive power can be
easily measured, purebreds were con-
sidered to be AIS per cent better than
common cows. The lowest percentage
given for any kind of stock was 36.S
per cent.

CHICAGO NEW
YEARS is DREARY
AND DRY AFFAIR

Chicago, Jan. More than 200
persons were arrested last night and
today by the police and prohibition
agents in their campaign to make
Chicago dry at the opening of the
New Year.
The warnings by Chief Of Police
Fitzmorlis and Charles y. Gregory,
federal prohibition agent, apparently
had their effect. The loop district,
scion of revelry where thousands
congregated in past years, was al
most deserted last night and the
searchers for liquor law violators
confined their activities to the raid
ing of remote clubs and the watch
ing of hotels and restaurants.
At the Central Police Station, only
four men were booked for intoxica-
ton today.
ut was the dryest New Years Chi
cago has ever known" Chief of Po-
lice Fitzmorris said. "Not a drink
could be bought in amy downtown
cafe, restaurant, club or. hotel"

Prof. Henry w. Brown of Colby

short memorial service in connection
with the morning service at the Old
South Congregational church on
Christmas day:
My Dear Friends:
We are meeting in this church to-
day for the first time since the pass
ing of your beloved pastor. Is it not
fitting that we should devote just n
moment to the memory of the good
man who is gone? The death of a
faithful pastor in the midst of his
labors has long had a deep signifi-
canoe to me. My own father was a
clergyman. For AZ years he served
his people, his church and his God;
and then. having CLEANED well in the
harvest fields Of his Master. passed
to his reward. Your pastor had not
long been your leader, and yet he had
endeared himself to all your hearts.
He was faithful. sincere, and exem-
plary in all his ways. You will miss
his personality, his words of wisdom,
his spirit of grace. What you may
now say of him-your words of
praise, your professions of love, can
have but little value. 1t now re-
mains for you simply to put in prac-
tice the principles he taught, the
spirit he revealed, the life he lived
How shall we make his devoted

R. H. GARDINER
ON CONFERENCE

Hon. Robert II. Gardiner was the
speaker Sunday evening at meet
ing at the Highland avenue M. f.
church, under the auspices of the
Methodist Brotherhood. the speaker
taking for his subject THE Spiritual
Significance of the Washington Con-
ference" Mr.. Gardiner was present
ed by d. S. .McNaughton, president
of the brotherhood who described
briefly the ideals and aims of the or.
ganization.
Mr.. Gardiner opened by referring
to a recent address by DR.. Mott
which painted dreadful picture Of
the present state of the world. He
attributed the present jealousies be-
tween nations as a direct result Of
war. Perhaps never" said Mr. Car
diner, has the world been so near the
brink of destruction, yet in it all the
world is being reborn and it is for
us to say whether that re-birth will
be for good or i'll. The future of the
world rests in the hands of the peo-
pie of the United States. We have
reconquered that national selfishness
that has brought us so near destruc-
ton and we are crying out for lead
ership. The question is shall we en-
ter into the new era of constructive
service and brotherhood. This CUES
ton has no significance except as it
applies to Gods new commandment
THAT we love one another, even as l
have loved you."
"There has been conferences of dip
lomats before, but they were meet
ings of a more or less secret nature.
plotting how to divide the spoils of
victory or for agrandizement at the
expense of weaker neighbors. China
and Africa have been looked upon as
opportunities to rob.

Washington conference is but little
more than hope rather than an ac-
complished fact, yet 1t is the CLEAN of

q mighty hope. for they. have met to
confer mot selfshly but in all humil-
ity and with deepest sincerity with
the hope of driving from the world
the curse of war. They are going
slowly, for they are not yet convinced
that the whole spirit and the heart
of the nation is behind them" Y
The speaker said that when the
limitation of naval armament was
accomplished there must of necessity
come the limitation Of land arma-
ments. One result is that we have
been driven into closer association
with Europe and can no longer use
Gains cry "Am I my brothers keep
err" Another result is the proposed
plan Of the reconciliation of differ
ences between nations and the duty
Of the strong nations to protect the
weak and China will doubtless re-
ceive the aid necessary for her to
take the place among nations that
God intended her to hold. She is to
be ward and no longer the spells of
war. Mr.. Gardiner believes that all
Christian churches should unite in
order to make Christ's law Of love
THAT We love one another" supreme.
This alone can settle the differences
between capital and labor, between
class and caste. between nation and
nation. The danger Is that the
Washington conference may become
the football of politicians and the
churches must speak with an unmis-
table voice.
The speaker closed by saying that
the world moves just as fast on the
down grade as it does on the upward
one, but that in the future the world
is to make its decisions quicker than
it has in the past.
