SEED CORN SHOULD Be TESTED al x-dI
THIS YEAR, SAYS R. j. ALLEN

q. t.. NO.. HH L.HH.H. y IA LMI
In order that the corr growers Of
the county be protected the law will
be inforced this year as far as seed
corn is concerned.
Due the large amount of rain last
fall a great deal of the corn, not only
in Wyoming, but all owe the country,
went into the cold weather full OF
moisture. The freezing that followed
evidently killed the germs of the ker-
nails. 1t is possible the only men who
have good seed corn are those who Sc
lected seed early and hung it away to
dry. Not a single nan should plant
corn this year without first testing his
seed or knowing that it has been done,
r. j. ALLEN,
tLgB County Agent.
, 1924-02-06

Seed corn to be offered for sale
must have a purity test of 80 per cent
and a termination test of 85 per cent.
Each and every package or lot of seed
offered or exposed for sale by any
person, firm or corporation in the
state of Wyoming shall be plainly
labeled and shall show:
First. The commonly accepted
name of the kind and variety Of seed.
Second. The full name and adj
dress of persons offering the seed for
sale. gS5
Third. The percentage of purity
and termination.
Fourth. Whether the seed is i'm

A SNAKE OF A MAN


Somebody poisoned my dog today,
Though he never did anyone ill,
And so he is through with his canine
play,
And his wiggiety tail is still.
No more will | walk in the fields with
him I'D missy
Along by my side to jog,
And Tdon't care if my eyes are dim
Somebody poisoned my dog.
He was as homely, 1 know, as a dog
..-. could be,
And only a mongrel, too,
But 1 loved him, and he loved me
AS people-and dogs-may do.
Nothing on earth could disturb his
trust (8V
Or his love and faith befog.
And now he lies here in the dust
Somebody poisoned my dog.
He crawled to my feet and licked my
my hand,
And then with a gasp he died;
And though some people can't under
stand,
III patted his head and cried.
For it isn't funny to lose a friend
From off this earthly cog,
And he was loyal until the end
Somebody poisoned my dog.
| wonder how anyone could have done
This poor little fellow harm,
But here he lies-his pace he run
Though his body's soft and warm.
My life is lived on a peaceful plane,
My pace is a quiet jog,
But / wish l could find the snake of
a man
Who poisoned my little dog.

iuuges will he based upon choice Of
tlay. direction and acting.

edy or heavy drama that NSn be pre-
sen,ed in a maximum of 40 minutes.

$1O,0OO,OOO Bets
By Wall Street on
Presidential Vote

New York, Oct. 10 ca. PD-Bet-
ting on the result of the Presidential
election has become recognized
end established institution in Wall
Street and indications are that this
year it will exceed all records.
Betting commissioners report tina !
$4,000, 900 alreoGy has been wagered
on the result and that the total
probably will reach 100000 be-
fore election night. About so per-
cent OF the pets placed in New
York originate III the metropolitan
area. the remainder being scattered
throughout the country.
Inasmuch as members Of the
various stock and commodity eX-
changes are forbidden to place bets,
the bulk of the business is handled
through three or four outside
houses These firms do not wager
their own money, but merely act as
shareholders and bring the bettc1s
together. the charge for their SER
vices being percent of the win
nings.
so far as is known. the legality Of
the practice never has been queS-
toned and no complaints have ever
been registered against these firms.
They require all clients to submit
cash, certified checks or money
orders with their bets except in last
minute transactions with firms or
individuals that are well known to
them, when the business is usually
done over the telephone.
When the bet hos been placed, the
commissioner gives the bettor Il
contract reading somewhat as fol-
lows:
In the event that John Doe is
elected President or the United
States we promise to pay ycu $4,000,
less commissions"
This would represent the long end
of u bet of $4,000 to $1,000. In the
event that the bettor's candidate
won, lie would receive Il check for
$3.50, which would represent his
original deposit of $4,000 and his
winnings OF $1,000. minus the per-
cent commission of his winnings.
The loser in this case would have
received q contract reading, as fol-
lows:
"In the event that John Doe is
not elected President of the United
States we promise to pay YOU $4,000.
less commissions"
If John Doe mad been defeated.
the recipient of this contract would
have received check for $3.50.
which would have represented the
return of his original deposit of
$1,000 and his winnings of $4,000,
minus the 5 percent commission.

some of the large wagers frequently
represent something more than

1t is q tradition in Wall Street
that no candidate who was ever
quoted at odds of better than . to
on the eve of an election has been
defeated. In fact, rarely has the
favorite in betting been defeated.
In 1916 Charles f.. Hughes was a 2

the odds shortened to Z to on
Hughes, the only Presidential favor
lite who has failed of election in the
last 30 years. In 1920 the odds on
Harding ranged from 2k to /. after
his nomination, to 10 to on the eve
of election day.
Betting this year is as complicated
as it was in 1912 when there was a
keen three cornered contest for the
Presidency. The commissioners re-
port that many large wagers are
being withheld pending further in
Gications OF the drift OF political
sentiment. There was practically no

MOVE TO AVOID THREE

IN BRITISH ELECTIONS

London, Oct. 1S.-tBy A. Pap
prehension of another era of Il Labor
government has driven the older par
ties to an accommodation that all APP
peais in the past have failed to accom-
plish. namely TO the avoidance as far
as possible of three-curnered contests

The headquarters of the Conserva-
tive and Liberal parties officially dis
avow that any such accommodation
had been arranged, and asserts that
anything of the kind, IL it exists, is

! tions. Nevertheless, clearly there is
good understanding and this is seen
in the Unionist predictions. already

Dor seats which are expected TO be cap
tured in London aud elsewhere by
avoidance OF triangular contests.
