Features Of Selection.

Where 1t Is necessary to gather
seed before II has matured in order to
save 1t from destruction by frost, the
same features of selection should be
observed. Select seed only from nor
NAL, vigorous plants, avoid smutted
stalks and those that are prematurely
dead The seed should be put III IL
dry place the same day it is gathered
and placed in such "A manner that the
ears do not touch each other and
where there is free circulation of
air but not cold enough to freeze.
The best seed, of course, is that
which has matured on the stalk. If
frost holds off after immature seed
has been selected, a second selection
can be made and the immature seed
can be used for feed. In this case the
only loss will be the labor of gather
ing and drying 1t. The precadtiOn of
making an early selection is well
worth the extra effort. 1t is guar

New York. Nov. 2o.-Namcs and Cities that sound like a million dol- lars Tor fraud promotion purposes can be bought quite chcaply
 One of the most alIurtnc Of names in the United States was brought for $50 a month and In England one similarly potent brought only { pounds week. More often the promoters take the names they need without paying anything,
 "Ejg names are the promoters prime bait for suckers" says Ed- ward A. Schwub, head of fraud tn- yesttgauons tor the National Nigi~ ancc committee Of tho Associated Advertising clubs Of the world, Eho qotes the prices listed,
 "A wise investor will be thrown on guard immediately when he sees an indorsement directly or indirect ly from a prominent person, LeSiti- mate business uses such tndorse- ment sometimes, of course, but it is q favorite trick Of the swindler. The public IS tremendously impressed by big names,
 "Our bureau estimated that s6oo.- rto,O0o was lost in America last year through frauds, The post or fee inspectors put it at sf,oo0,00o,- 900. Half Of that was attracted by the promoters using impressive names and titles to inspire conA- dence.
 Contrary to their knowledge, the names and pictures of Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford were used hv promoters of fake land selling schemes around Muscle Shoals. I tust ran across an advertisement of . Texas oil promoter which says, BE men Ike John J. McGraw Of th. New York Giants and Mayor HyIan of New York invest thelr money in oil on the judgment of
 "Our best name case, Of course, was that of old General Robert A. Tee in the Texas oil game. The pro- Yroters found him working as a tanitor. They convinced him he was q relative of inc Confederate hero and brought him in. Tn the end shey zwinded him out ot the very money they paid for his name.
 ''1 found a dose parallel 10 this tn English last summer, A promoter who had made things too hot for himself in the United States was putting over a. Texas oil scheme, us- ing the name of peer as chairman ss the board of directors. He sent out 1csimfrs letters from his lord ship on crested stationery, recom- uendins the investment. The lord, AS a matter Of fact. was bankrupt In both reputation and finances and was receiving four pounds 2 week for the rse Of his name.

 There are drarhacks to Mexican operations, however, Schwab has a copy of a letter from a promoter there in which he tells Q friend he intends to move on baSauSe, there are too many grafters and black mailers down here"
