The tale of real 1925 Good Sa-

Holm, well known resident of Hays,
Kan, says the Topeka Capital.
Holm and his family were touring
in the vicinity of Linsborg Kan, when
night came on with downpour OF
rain. The roads were newly graded
and soon became a quagmire. The
Holm car stuck fast and Holm, mi
nus shoes and socks, started wadlng
to a light he saw.
He came upon a farm house and
found the farmer in bed. Upon Holm's
appeal the farmer got cut OF bed,
dressed and took his team and went
down the road to move the mired-
down automobile Eventually they
got the car some distance down the
road and where it would go under Its
own power. How much do / owe

PICK HEALTHY CORN
FOR NEXT YEARS SEED
IS lust AS IMPORTANT TO
GET SOUND EARS AS THOSE
OF GOOD TYPE.

It's not enough to select ears of
good type in the corn field before
frost. 1t is quite as important also
that the seed ears selected be free
from disease and on stalks which show
no signs of the molds, known as Ba-
sisporium dry rot and Diplodia dry
rot. This is the opinion of specialists
in plant diseases.
1t shas been quite definitely shown
in corn breeding work at the Iowa
agricultural experiment station that
seed ears vary in the susceptibility of
their progeny to these diseases. If
ears are planted that are diseased or
are from diseased stalks the corn pro-
duced from them will be more likely
to be affected.
The specialists advise selecting seed
corn as early as possible because these
molds have been found oftentimes to
spread rapidly about the time the corn
is maturing In selecting corn early
take only ears from green, standing
stalks with unbroken healthy shanks.
Stalks affected with these rots are Of
ten either broken over, or have bro
ken shanks.
After seed corn is selected store it
carefully in a cool dry place where
rapid drying will result, to prevent
spreading of the molds.
Excessive moisture at the time of
maturing is known to increase the
Of y,o1Ic The
ature in the fall is often right for mold
development.
Diplodia dry rot most commonly
attacks the stalks on the lower joints
where the base of the leaf blade forms
a cavity in which the moisture readily
collects A water soaked appearance,
extending above and below the joint,
develops and the stalk is weakened
and may break at this point 1t some
times attacks the shanks, causing the
ear to become shriveled or badly
nodded at the butt Sometimes diplodia
enters at the tip of the ear, producing
a white moldy appearance, 1t has
been estimated that this disease re-
duced the average Iowa farmers yield
about 200 bushels i'll 1922.
Bas1Spor1um dry rot can be recog-
nized by the blackening of the cob
around the kernels and also by the
blackening of the chaff and base OF
the kernels. This mold often causes
ears to lose 20 per cent of their nor
NAL weight.

Superintendent Peddy is max
ing every effort to have the repairs
made and the plant in service
again at the earliest possible mo-
ment. This he hopes to succeed
in doing by Wednesday night.
A number of establishments

THE AIR INDUSTRY is
is GROWING RAPIDLY
AVIATION WELL ESTABLISH
ED IN THREE FIELDS. MANY
PROJECTS PLANNED.

Commercial aviation, the most infant
industry in the United States, has be
come firmly established in three in
dustrial centers of the country. In the
Oklahoma oil fields, the Great Lakes
manufacturing sections, and in Kansas
commercial aviation is in actual opera
ton. Outside these fields commercial
aviation still is in the experimental
stage, with the exception OF the air
mail. Hundreds of commercial avia-
ton projects, however are under con-
sideration.
Oil Rush Brought Planes.
The oil rush brought the airplanes
into the petroleum fields. At Tulsa,
Okla, there are four airplane compa
MES. During the last year planes have
averaged FIVE trips a week from Tulsa
to the oil fields. The flights average
about Us miles, and the longest has
been more than 900 miles.
Airplanes are carrying freight be-
tween manufacturing plants in Chica-
go, Detroit, Mich, and Cleveland, 0.
Air freight charges are higher, but the
service is much more speedy than rail-
way or steamer. The Chicago to De
troit trip averages five hours for the
round trip, as against more than six
hours necessary for a one-way jour
ney by railroad.
Carrying Passengers.
An air transport company in Kansas
City, Kans., is carrying passengers
from Kansas City 10 Wichita and En-
poria. Another company has been or
ganized. An airplane factory is to be
built in Kansas City soon. The air
passenger service has proved very pop
ular in Kansas and freight service may
be the next step.

at some convenient time or place to
resume negotiations where they were
broken off early last August in At
lantic City.
The plan accepted by the operators
today was submitted by seven of the
eight Luzerne county members of the
Pennsylvania house Of representa-
tives. Luzerne Is one Of the largest
hard coal producing counties in the
anthracite fields. The plan provides
for an immediate return to work
while negotiations are in progress.
The rejection Of the Luzerne coun-
ty plan wa embodied in the following
formal statement issued by Mr..
Lewis:
1.-THE alleged plan Of settlement
presented by the Luzerne legislators
will not, of course, be given any con-
sideration by the mine workers and
will be condemned by the miners of
LuZerne county. 1t is simply the OPP
orators plan wrapped in a new
package. The legislators have fool
ishly permitted themselves to be
used as cat's-paws by the anthracite
operators. The mine workers are
standing upon their acceptance Of the
plan Of settlement proposed by Gov
ernor Pinchot and endorsed by the
public"
The resolution adopted by the OPP

The Best Cough Syrup
Is Homemade
Here's an easy way TO save Z. and yee
have best cough medicine
you eyer tried.

You've probably heard Of this we'll
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have you ever used
it? Thousands of families the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold OF q
cough will soon earn it a permanent
place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 21a ounces
of Pinex; then add plain graduated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
il desired, use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
never spoils, and gives you full pint
of better cough remedy than you
could buy ready-made for three times
its cost.
It is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers a
cough-usually in "a hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost i'm
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness. Group, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and has been used for genera
tons for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2z ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.
