Under the caption “Won't you help?’ W. B. Biddle, president of the St. ! Louis-San' Francisco Railway Com- , pany makes the following statement: "The railroads have to move 275,000 national guard soldiers. 675,000 national army soldiers, 100,000 regular soldiers, a total of 1,050,000 soldiers, and ' their necessary supplies. Our government has asked us to help save 15,000,000 tons of coal to relieve the distress of our gallant allies. Passengler service has been curtailed on all lines to do this. These are some of the reasons why travel is not so regular or comfortable at this time. Your cheerful example of patience will help others."

Farlng’s automobile was overturned but he and two companions Art Bartiemay and a Decatur man. escaped without injuries of consequence. The accident happened when Farling attempted to drive between Baker’s buggy and an automobile. —Bluffton Exchange. Os Corn Will he Selected from Indiana Fields for Planting. One million bushels of high class seed corn are to be selected from Indiana fields October 22-26 if the program of the Indiana committee on food production and conservation is •carried out. Indiana farmers will plant approximately six million acres .’of corn in 1918. A bushel of seed is required for each six aerdes to be planted. | G. I. Christie, State Food Director, states that if all the seed for the 1918 ' crops would be selected from the field | before time of heavy freezes, and | properly stored the yield next year i would be easily increased thiry million bushels. I Experiments conducted by the Purdue experiment station comparing germination of corn selected at different stages of maturity are of interest. This work was started in the fall --f 1907 and has been duplicated each year since so that the results are the average cf seven years, covering a number of conditions. Corn selected just before denting germinated 79.7 per cent. Corn that was nicely dented when selected germinated 93.5 per cent. The ripest ears selected when corn was ready to shock showed 92. G per cent germination while the ripest ears at time of husking germinated 88.5 per cent. It will be scon that corn which is matured and selected before the heavy freezes gives the best quality of seed.

Who Is Making the Profits Out of the War? Public condemnation of those who regard the war as a chance to make big profits is virtually unanimous. But opinion begins to divide when an attempt is made to identify these war profiteers. Thus A. C. Townley, President of the National Non-Partisan League, the new farmers’ party, says, “There is a great difference between our patriotism, the patriotism of the men who toil that the profiteers may make $4,000,000,000, and the patriotism of the men who make the billions. While the farmers and other producers have been raising crops to feed the armies of liberty, making ships, and munitions, and implements of war, a lot of gentlemen have been spending their ample leisure in announcing their patriotism. When you work sixteen hours a day for liberty and democracy, you have not much time or will to wave the flag. ... If we were to put in as much time waving it as they do, the whole world would starve to deafh.” On the other hand, the New York World in criticizing this same league of farmers, declares that “ Every speaker in that interesting assembly holds that altho dollar wheat in time of peace was considered ideal, the cereal can not be profitably grown to-day unless the Government price is $3.00 a bushel.” In the very interesting leading article in THE LITERARY DIGESI for September 29th, all phases of the subject of war profiteering are shown by quoting leading American newspapers and men like Herbert Hoover. Other articles which go to make up an exceptionally important number of this foremost American periodical are: Aliens Must Do Their Bit 77 in the Army The Chamberlain Resolution to “Force Alien Slackers Either to Enlist in the American Ranks or Go Home and Fight for Their Own Country,’’ Meets with the Approval of American Editors Everywhere.

"It is the contention of the high school athletic board that same recognition should be accorded students who qualify on the baseball, football, in the field or on the basket ball floor that is given to the student who ranks high in scholarship," said Dr. Ellis today. “The diplomas which will be awarded for physical work in this state will be evidence to military authorities throughout the United ' States that their holders have completed the physical training according to the standards set forth by the Indiana board of education.” J.
