excessive moisture must be driven
out or the seed will mold and decay
Watch the weather and prepare
to act quickly Moore cautions.
"Husks should be taken from the
ears within an hour or two after
harvesting. They no longer assist
in the evaporation of moisture after
the frost has struck them"
Moore has found by experience tina,
any room equipped with stove pos
sessed of plenty of ventilation will
make good curing room for SEED
corn.

sives will be held in Milwaukee Tues
day or Wednesday, at which time the
proposal will be considered. E. J.
Gross, president of the Wisconsin
Mems Progressive association, and
other anti-Blaine progressives will
participate in the conference, Plat
said.
The movement to bring Severson
into the race is said to have resulted
directly from the demand made by
Gov. Blaine Saturday that the lola
senator appear before him and di-
vulge information of alleged law
violations in the state capitol.
Senator Severson has opposed the
governor on several measures,
notably in regard to taxes, and the
senator has charged that Blaine
cohorts defeated the senate resolu-
ton demanding investigation of the
corruption and misconduct charges
mentioned.

STATE TO INVESTIGATE
PHONE INCREASE PLEAS

Madison-Within the next two
weeks the state railroad commission
will begin an extensive investigation
of telephone rates in Wisconsin.
The inquiry will probably assume
considerable proportions because Of
numerous applications pending for
increased rates.
The telephone rate situation came
to the front recently when half a
dozen increase applications were f,ed
by the Wisconsin Telephone Co. This
resulted in reports from the commits
sion that the action may be a move
for statewide increase. Com
munications were had with other
railroad and utilities commissions
looking forward to a conference to
oppose general increase.
The Wisconsin Telephone Co. has
filed rate increase requests at its
Hudson, Green Bay, De Pere, Apple
ton, GAINESVILLE, Lima Center and
South Milwaukee stations. Applica-
lions also are pending from several
independent firms. Hearings will be-
gin about the middle of this month.

COW TESTING WORK
PAYS THE MEMBERS

Feeding dairy cows according to
their production saver $2S in one
month on the feed bill for member
of the Sheldon Cow Testing assoc;a-
ton, reports G. E. Rome, tester.
A saving of $3.50 per ton Il feed
with an increase of five per cent in
protein was made by changing the
ration for another member CT the
same association. The ration which
made the saving contained gluten
feed, bran, and middlings, 200 pounds
each, and 100 pounds of oil meal.
This ration, Rome recommends where
the dairymen has to buy his grain.
"Know your bull through his
daughters" is what B. G. Paulson,
tester for the Mt. Hope-L Lancaster
cow testing association tells the
dairymen in his district. "The
daughters should show decided inn
provement over their dams in pro-
duction and conformation" he says.
IF selected for the future herd.
When we have found the rating of a
sire and he has proved to be excep-
tionally good, and is still living, con-
tinue using him in the herd"
Paulson believes many good sires
go to the block before their value is
known. He suggests that breeders
exchapge sires or loan them to some
one until their daughters can be
tested. The value of better sires is
brought out by the records of the
association tests.

HAEDNYAH!t SITUATION

.As nearly as an outsider may judge
 from reports of the hardware market, any unpleasant outlook is to be
 blamed on the weather, and. con-
 Nersel%. bright sunshine and honest to-goodncss spring will simply make things hum, EVcn us it is q few warm days of brightness gives the push 10 goods, and few weeks Of such weather would rush the iobbers to the wires calling for prompt delivery by manufacturers who incidentally, ready as they are at present and able 10 fill such orders, would then get busy with turning out more finished arti- cIca.
 The backward spring has held up the consumer demand for articles which ordinarily would be moving rapidly. But here in Connecticut it is not SO noticeable that this spring has been more "backward" than last not SD you can notice.
 The interesting feature is, however, that the retailers have low stocks for the most part, though fully able to supply the moments demand, but only such demand. Despite his fact and the fact that summer is upon us, bringing the need Of seasonal implements. the buying is light which. in view of the inevitable coming of continuous warm weather. seems strange. No matter how well supplied the jobbers may be. and how capable of filling orders and no matter if the railroads ability 10 transport comparatively quickly is bet ! ter than last year, it would seem that ! the movements of goods should be a bit faster. Tt cant rain forever, you . know" and provision should be made , not for more rainy days, but for days when the sunlight will disclose an . ,arth fast hlossomioe; lawns and fields : brightly grecn-and a demand for the goods which ordinarily would have 1een needed long ago.
 But that is just the ignorant out ider's viewpoint and perhaps, after III, the virgins who trimmed their amps in preparation were not wise 'irgins at all.

MEMORIAL DAY

Today we are wearing little poppy of red, evidence of our remembrance of the disabled veterans of the last war. Tomorrow we wilt honor the memory of those who fought in that terrible WET of long ago--those who have died, both defenders of humanity and crusaders for a principle.
 It is day Of sentiment when we buy the poppy: it will be a day of sentiment tomorrow, and may that sentiment never leave our hearts to let them grow callous to sacrifice. belit- tiers of ideals.
 There are one hundred and twenty boys Of New Britain who gave up their lives that this day of May might be a day of freedom and peace. There will be but few more than score of vet erans of that other war, hero in New Britain. They will feel most deeply the growing significance of the day when the graves are decorated low ingly: when back through the mist of the year they see the smoke of the cannon. hear the din Of battle. Pri- marily tomorrow will be their day the day of paying tribute 10 the memory of their comrades as at their comrades graves they stand still while from their little pillars in Walnut Hill park will float the American flag, nn- der which they fought and which now flies over united nation they helped to bring to peace and harmony.
 May no man scoff at sentiment to- morrow when tears come to the eyes. May there never come again the red Hays Of blood which these tvo-seore men saw so long ago; which took from us those who lie beneath the sod and those whose graves are represent ed by the shafts Of the Court Of Honor.
 Memorial Day will remain s cher ished chance to honor the memory of those who lived and died for Ameri. ca, as long as America is America. May be remember our dead as long as we love the land for which they died.

And he would laugh. dance around mo and kiss mo. Now, 0 God, he is dead. Only a mother or father who has boy buried in France knows what that means.
 Now his mother wants his name on monument and not on the wall Of
 
 a building. The good mayor tries 10 please all. 1T some people want large building, it will be nice, but please have the monument. too, for even little child knows that a sol- diers' monument stands for a dead soldier.

II 1 WAS said that q fine bu.inc,3 block at ! that location. impossible without a ! change being made in the building , line, would improve the citJ, and so 1 forth. The person wishing to erect ! tke building has certain equity on his

 which placed the building line ten
 feet back instead of five, as obtains
 under the new arrans .men',
 While not discussing this particular
 case and judging it on is merits, it is
 proper 10 say. generally, that any change in building lines in the city should be made only when absolutely necessary to promote justice or great benefit 10 the ma jority of those inter- ed. IL would seem hardly fair 10 allow people to go ahead and build, guiding themselves by a certain rule regarding the building line. and then, after they had established themselves and had laid their plans according 10 the law as il then existed, to alter that building line and allow another to make his plans under the new scheme -unlees necessity or the common welfare demanded it.
 When group Of people build their | homes or other structures guided by | a ten foot building line, and then n person is allowed to build a business block five feet nearer the street than their places are located. they com plain, and quite naturally. This, if the situaton is understood correctly, is the position taken by the people who protest against the changed building line, and there seems to be much merit in their claim.
 An added reason for not reducing the building line, as the common council has done, is the fact that eventually the streets, Of necessity, may have to he made wider. With traffic increasing as it is the poasi- bilty Is not 3 remote one. A reduced building line would be practically identical with the street line. where hat building line is placed at five 'eet.
