ADVOCATE SEED CORN TEST

The Iowa Bankers Association sent
out a bulletin to its members urging
the bankers to have the farmer test
his seed corn this year because of the
heavy damage done to corn last year
by dry rot Enclosed was 9 letter

College explaining the situation.

about so per cent were fit for seed

or dead. DRY rot is very prevalent in
the seed corn this year and is respon-

STRAIGHT TALKS
With AUNT EMMY
ON NOT GETTING FLATTERED

Somehow. Aunt Emmy. it scares
me when | read of all the ways people
lose their money in fake stock and
bond transactions. How can you
know who is honest and what stocks
and bonds are safe to buy?" queried
Jane
"It is easy enough if people only
wouldn't be SO impatient" replied
Aunt Emmy There is never any
need for haste in investing. It's far
better to take little time to find out
the character of the securities offered
and of the person offering them. The
buying of securities was greatly stim-
Mated by the. Liberty Loans. Before
Uncle Sam offered Liberty bonds only
about 100000 people in the United
States owned securities. Now mil
lions of people are buying stocks and
bonds.
"Of course the INSCRIPTIONS securi-
ty vendors have taken advantage of
the publics new education in invest
ments. All sorts of bad and question
able securities are being offered for
sale. Naturally the majority of the
people are not rich so when man
sets out to sell bonds or stocks
through the country he must be pre-
pared to sell in small quantities.

be preserved in the home.
Not many summers ago, mother
spent her summers bending over a
hot stove, cooking heavy meals and
putting up innumerable bottles and
cans of fruits and vegetables.
Not so the mother of today--if
she is at all modern and sensible
She buys most of her canned goods
and she serves cold. or at least light,
meals.
If her grandmother could see her,
she might condemn her, as selfshly
considering only herself. But moth
er would have a ready answer. She
knows that heavy meals improve
neither efficiency nor tempers in
summer. and that smiling mother
in a cool dress, not thinking too
much Of household cares, can do
more to keep her family happy in
summer than a hot harasssd moth
