THE PURE-BRED SIRE. All over tb“ United States a purebred sire campaign is being more or less vigorously conducted. Its success Involves tlje future of agriculture In a | measure not generally recognized. The 1 principle applies to all the domestic 1 animals In every sphere of production. 1 The International Live Stock Ex- ' position held at Union Stock Yards. Chicago, Nov. 26th to Dee. 3rd, gathers the best sires In the world, sires of 1 all species, the product of generations of American and European breeders. Nowhere eles Is the principle of im- 1 provement so eloquently and convincingly demonstrated; nowhere else can • its merits in the sphere of practical application be so readily visualized. If the live stock industry is to be maintained on a profitable basis it must be axiomatic that the pure-bred sire must have full sway and at no stage of the Industry has the necessity for improvement been greater. This year's exhibit of pure bred sires bulls, boars and rams at the “Intertional” will not only be on an unprecedented scale of magnitude, but J quality will be present in the superlaI tive degree. The “International” is boosting the I pure bred campaign as is no other j unit involved in the movement. • ■ — ■ “Something to Think About” FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. Tl*e corn ear worm is one of our native insects which has been a pest principally of corn in this state in former years. It is true that it attacked other crops but at least 90 per cent, of its damage was done to corn. It has been heije so long and the resultant damage so constant that it is accepted by farmers and gardeners as one of the conditions to be expected. The present year registers a considerable difference in the activities of this pest as its destruction is so excessive that it is not easy to estimate tile damage done to crops. Every indication points to a loss running into ■ I millions of dollars.

A study of the life cycle of this pest enables one to see why the damage is so much greater and more serious this year than for several seusons. Normally there are but two broods of this Insect in this state. Ear worms winter as pupae in the soil and emerge in the spring and lay eggs. Each felays on an average of 600 eggs. There are not many parasites of this pest and a large number of the larvae mature. Tho second generation is more numerous and naturally does augmented damage. This second generation is the one housewives find in sugar corn and is responsible for the damage farmers notice in field corn. This year, however, the warm period in early spring caused tlijß moths to emerge much sooner than usual and the first generation developed four or five weeks ahead of the growing season for corn. Farmers could not plant earlier this year—in fact corn planting was later than usual. The second generation of worms developed a little later than the first brood comes in normal seasons, but about 200 times as numerous. W)e expected this would be the last brood but soon learned this brood hastened development and instead of wintering over as pupae as is normal with the pest, emerged and a full third brood of worms came in time for devastating work on field corn and late sweet corn. I believe it would be safe to estimate there were several hundred times as many of these larvae as ever before |and they attacked not only corn but almost ail crops. We found them feeding on weeds where there were no field crops. They also entered most of the greenhouses of this state and in many instances desertyode 30 to 60 per cent, of the chrysanehtmum and carnation buds before discovered. It was possible to control them in such invasions and in any intensely cultivated area, but it is not practical to do this with a corn scrop, and as a result farmers 1 suffered heavy losses. Worms eating i,n the 'eart of corn will cause much of it to mold and elevators will this season receive considerably less firstf class corn for storage than customary. While many farmers undoubtedly will feed this molded corn it is problematical if good results follow 1 such a ration, although it seems the only method of disposal and even partial recovery on a damaged corn crop. Mr. Wallace is optimistic as regards the corn crop next year, stating that nature sets up a balancie somehow anti we may not experience any more trouble next season with this pest than we had prior, to 1921. > — “Something to Think About” $1,500,000 ADVERTISING SPACE DONATED TO PROSPERITY Nation-wide Movement Start* Toward Rehabilitating Good Business Conditions. The first determined smash toward I a realization of better times has been delivered by the Rotary clubs of the United States, after consultation with President Harding, Secretary of Commerce Hoover and other members of the cabinet. On December first and for three months thereafter one hundred 24-slieet billboards, in ten thousand newspapers and in about two million store windows will appear signed messages from the president and other public men to the people of th|e United States, all working toward the better day in business and general understanding between all classes. The space, labor and materials are donated, the Rotary clubs obligating to carry the “Messagle of Prosperity” to all points throughout the country so that 8,000 cities, towns and hamlets may be reached. The message delivered will cost more than $1,500,000 and not even the war record will equal the effort in either cost or labor. The idea of the message originated with Ivarx B. Nordhem, a selfmade man wbui has long since qualified as one of America’s most successful business men. although he started life as fa poor boy running errands for a drug store and at the age of forty-five is rated as one of the moßt successful men in America. As a member of the New York Rotary club he put his idea over on condition that no pierson or firm should take any credit for it or make a penny out of it. The Rotary clubs got behind It, consulted the president and made the plan effective. The spirit of the undertaking Is summed up In this slogan, “Prosperity will sp|eed up as soon as you do!” A national plea will be made by this means for better team work, for the better understanding and a speeding up of production to bring down prices that are still too high. President Harding h|as already signe dhis mfessages that will go to the people In this form and the Rotary clubs are preparing to deliver them. “Something to Think About”

“SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT” Can you fancy beautiful Gloria Swanson dressed in rags and tatters? Remember the many gorgeous gowns which have become so much a part of Miss Swanson ag a result of her success in “Don’t Change Your Husban,” "Male and Female” and “Why Change Your Wife?” And yet rags and tatters are Miss Swanson’s portion through a large part of the story of Cecil B. DeMUle’s Paramount picture “Something To Thing About” which will be shown at the Crystal and Mecca theatres for two days commencing Tuesday next. “Something to Think About” represents a new departure in the type of role portrayed by Miss Swanson. As Ruth Anderson, the talented young actress had abundant opportunity to display her abilities. The role carries Miss Swanson through the en tire emotional gamut and it is confidentially expected that this production will earn for her an additional host of admirers. Although rags and tatters play their part in the action, Miss Swanson wears gowns of striking beauty. Several ultra-new street eositumes and evening gowns of unusual beauty 1 were designed by Claire West under • the supervision of Cecil B. DeMille and Miss Swanson wears them with her habitual grace and charm. Miss Swanson plays the central j i feminine role. Other notable names j , in the cast include Elliott Dexter, Theodore Roberts, Monte Blue, Claire ! McDowell, little Mickey Moore, Theo- - dore Kosloff, James Mason and Julia , Faye. i * t “Something to Think About” “Something to Think About”
