Hereelf ae Being the Object of
8trange Men’s Attentions -
A woman wbo labored under the
delusion that men were always on the
lookout to speak ’ to unaccompanied
females was rather nervous ' walking
along a city Btreet one evening Two
tnen were Just behind her laughing
and chatting in a very queer fashion
she thought
“May I Join ypu?” she asked of
itwo women walkipg In front of her
“Certainly” they replied The three
walked along Still the two men fol-
lowed They were still laughing and
making comments which though ' In-
audible the woman felt were direct-
ed toward her
"Thank you for letting me go along
with you” she said to her two com-
panions as she left them at a subway
entrance “As a matter of fact those
two men walking back of us mads
me very nervous 'I think they have
been trying to speak to me”
The women glanced back ' A

The whole shows graphically how
one agent of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the Mis-
souri Agricultural college went about
making sure that the 1918 corn crop
would not fall the cause of world free-
dom for lack of viable seed It Is
representative' of what many county
agents the country over are doing
now wherever occasion arises to make
surd that the 1919 crop will not fall
for a like reason
What One County 8aved
These pictures show the central test-
ing station established in February
1918 by the county agent of Living-
ston county Missouri la this and la
eight local testing stations scattered
about the county 10951 bushels of
corn were “ear tested” before corn-
planting time came last spring Of this
corn more than 4000 bushels were
thrown out as being unfit for planting
— which means that 4000 bushels of
corn were saved for feed Otherwise
It would have rotted In the ground
making an equivalent replanting neces-
sary ' More than 6000 bushels were
certified as being sure to give a satis-
factory percentage of germination
In this instance egg crates with
their little straw-board cells were bsed
for testing — a somewhat novel method
that has found favor In some localities
The kernels to be tested are planted In
the pasteboard cells six grains from
an ear and a cell to each' ear After
sufficient time for germination the
crates are opened and the ears are
saved for seed or discarded according
to the percentage of germination
shown by the corresponding kernels
Each ear has a number corresponding
to that of the cell in which the sample

Over a thousand farmers brought
their seed corn to one or another of
the nine testing stations established
In Livingston county last year and
practically every field planted with
corn thus tested showed a strong

7 ' Back to Meadowlanda! -
1 must so forth to the fields agate
Where the meadow grass la rife
And all I aak Is aome calmness
And little ease from strife
And a colt’s neigh and tha wind’s sonfo
And the grass blades shaking
And a low note from a bird’s throat
And a pink dawn breaking
Wherein the versemaker In other
years and out of -the desire of his
heart pretty accurately outlined the
program for American farmers In the
good peaceful year of 1919 The strife
is passed The calmness Is come And
now the call Is for a return to grass
meadows and ' pasture lots and live
stock
: In the years of strife and stress
many farmers plowed np permanent
pastures and meadows and devoted
them to grain crops to meet the world’a
need for bread Now that farming is
to be restored to a peace-time basis
the United States department ot Agri-
culture says It seems wise thatHnany
of these lands be reseeded to grass
The signing of the armistice found
the United States well supplied with
foods but comparatively short on
feeds bnt with an urgent demand for
meat animals ’ In the production of
which feeds and pasturage are essen-
tial The department of agriculture of
ourse does not urge abandonment of
profitable grain -farming but It points
out In Its survey of the 1919 situation
that the sacrifice of grass lands and
the abandonment of rotation systems
In response to the world demand for
more cereals has resulted In a deple-
tion of fertility which must be restored
by the re-establlshment of rotations
pastures meadows leguminous crops
and live stock '
Any farmer can well afford to plant
soy beans with corn
Why not diversify? The 'one-crop
farmer takes a great risk ' '
A barn should be lighted so far as
possible by direct sunlight Sunlight
Is a great disinfectant

“Americanization” of Europe Because of the War
TWASHINGTON— Thoughtful observers abroad of a philosophical turn of
W mind are predicting a considerable “Americanization” of Europe as a
resalt of the great war Points made by them Include these : Millions of
American soldiers have brought the '
stamp of American personality to Eu-
rope The work of material recon-
struction for years to come will bring
to Europe thousands of Americans of
force ami Individuality There will
necessarily be an Increasing assimila-
tion of American ways An Indication
of w’hat is coming is the fact that the '
women of Europe have already fallen
In love with the American soldier
There will be a certain percolation
of what may be called the “American
language” — idioms quick turn of phrases unusual sentences to fit emergen-
cies sparkling verbal humor The English however will not accept either
the American intonation or pronunciation ' "
Baseball may become popular but the British will not supplant cricket
with it Men may take the place of women ns barkeepers In England There
will be 'a greater market than ever for American plays The British theater
will remain as it is with its buffet lounge cardroom and other conveniences
Europe will likely adopt many American dishes There is a longing for
grapefruit for breakfast Buckwheat cakes are liked wherever tried Broiled
chicken corned beef hash and waffles have an appeal that cannot be resisted
American bacon however is not popular In England It is too salty
1 Americans are the best-dressed people In the world ordinary men In the
streets of New York or Chicago are dressed with a precision not equalled in
any? great city of Europe In Europe Americans dress rather after their
home style than according to the local style Hitherto Paris has been the
world center of women’s fashions and London the center for men’s fashions
There Is likely to be a rage for certain American articles of attire Perhaps
In Paris and London signs will be seen “The latest from Fifth avenue”
In the Industrial world American efficiency has taught Europeans so
many things that the Effects are beyond estimate and enumeration in reason-

Uncle Sam’s Allies Are Asking - Smaller Loans

AMERICA’S Job as banker for the allies was lighter In January than at any
time eince the nation entered the war Only $170000000 was paid out as

were reported as follows: 7 k

Roumania (666666 None
Liberia 6000000 None
Payments on this account for a
long time ran around $400000000 a
month The redaction is caused prln-
cl pally by the curtailment of shipments of food for payment of which the
American credits had been largely used
Total credits extended by the treasury now amount to $8588773000 but
only $7854816000 has been actually paldfout under these credits
Greece Liberia and Roumania have never presented claims for pay
ments Russia still has $137000000 to her credit on the treasury books al-
though she has not applied for money since the revolution
Until congress enacts the pending bill advocated by the treasury' to
authorize' loans to the allies for other than strictly war purposes officials do
not look for much change In the present low rate of demands on the Amer-
ican government
' One of the effects of the war Is that billions now seem as ordinary as did

Oil to Supplant Goal in Our Merchant Marine
PLANS looking to vastly Increased use of oil fuel by American merchant
vessels have been developed dt conferences between heads of the larger
oil producing Interests ship owners auf representatives of the shipping board
John H Rosseter director of op
erations for the board announces that
details of the proposals tentatively
’ accepted fire being worked out prelim-
inary to action toward the establish-
ment of additional oil bunkering facili-
ties at various ports and co-operation
with the oil producers to assure a
steady supply of fuel
' “Oil fuel is the reaf solution of ie
American merchant marine problem”
Mr Rosseter said In outlining the poli-
cy under development “What Is
chiefly necessary Is complete co-operation of the various enterprises and
Interests concerned and daring the last few days we have succeeded In reach-
ing an understanding I believe With the oil producers preliminary to pro
ceedlng further - 7
“It would be manifestly uneconomic to establish new bunkerage facilities
in ports where they now are available and yet it will be necessary to widen
the facilities for oil supply to vessels We have consequently secured assur-
ances that the existing plants will be operated In conjunction with the system
the board is contemplating establishing i
“The Importance of oil fuel to the future of the American merchant
marine I believe cannot be overrated It means the difference between sue
cess and failure In snort"

GOING BACK TO NATURE
- BY DR W LUQAS
People get sick because they go
away from Nature and the only way
to get well Is to go back Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation to cure almost every UL
Some of these vegetable growths are
understood by man and some are not
Animals It would seem know what to
do when they are sick better than
men and women Observers have
noted that a sick horse dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth la the field or
yard which when found and eaten
often restores appetite and health
Haven’t you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
Dr Pierce of Buffalo N Y long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation and he
had these vegetables collected and made
up of Mayapple leaves of Aloe root of
Jalap into little white sugar-coated pills
that he called Dr Pierce’s'Pleasant Pellets
You must understand that when your in-
testines are stopped up poisons end de-
cayed matter are imprisoned in your sys-
tem and these are carried by the blood
throughout your body Thus does your
head ache you get dizzy you can’t sleep
your skin may break out your appetite de-
clines you get tired and despondent ' As
e matter of fact you may get sick all
over Don’t you see how useless all this
suffering is? ' All that is often needed is
a few of Dr Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets
which he has placed in all drug stores for
your convenience and health Try them
by all means They are probably the very
thing you need right now
