FARMERS STUNG BY SALESMEN OF MIRACLEWHEAT Gambling on Merits of Seed Crop Poor Rule, Says Expert. Gambling, as a rule is not listed as one of the accomplishments of most furmers and yet when farmers yield to the temptation offered by some unscrupulous seedsman, they are 6taklng their harvest against failure which ia a hundred to one shot, in favor of failure. "A game to which anybody is liable to be susceptible, especially in t)mes of near famine, is the promise of fabulous increases la crops. Just such a game is being operated at present, in the matter of seed wheat," saya J. C. Beavers, State Leader of Wheat Campaign. "Old varieties of wheat are being offered to farmers under new names and many extravagant claims are being made for these fake wheats. This game is so old that it is really surprising that any farmer would think of luying unestablished varieties of wheat from some slick-tongued salesman Just because he says a half bushel of seed to the acre is enough and that the wheat would yield more than those varieties ordinarily grown." Fakes Sold Recently. It was only two and three years ago when a variety known as Miracle and Marvelous was widely sold to Jndiana and 'Ohio farmers. It was sold under the guarantee that one peck was sufficient for an acre and that It possessed unusual yielding ability. These varieties are still grown by many fariiers, but the practice of sowing from a peck to a half bushel has entirely disappeared. These wheats have been tested in various parts of the country by experiment stations and in no case have they yielded better, than the standard arieties of the states in which they vere tested. It is claimed for these cheats, that they have especial tillerlug habits which makes it unnecessary lo sow more than one to two pecks to the acre. Investigators have found this not to be true. In a comparison of Marvelous and ?lich. Amber, made at the Purdue Experiment Station in 1914, it was found that the, spring survival of Michigan Amber wa3 S3 percent, whereas that ft the Marvelous, was only 45 percent. The Michigan Amber was not only much more hardy, but possessed just , -s much ability to produce a large i umber of stocks per plant. "Play Game Safe." The policy of the farmers should be r p'ay the game safe, not to take the vord b! any stranger against that of ! ?h own hired investigator at the expfiiment station. When a new variety of any crop has l cm developed to the point where it si c.vs especial merit, the experiment r.t'tion will test it out and make rec''"unendatiens to the farmers accordifs'y. In the coses where slick-tongued agents are selling seed wheat by mak

ing extravagant claims as to yielding power, the recommendations of the exleriment station are to leave alone anything which has the smell of fake. Be patriotic by honest endeavor to increase crops with increased dilligence instead of trying to find some marvelous and miraculous short cut to 5 rosperity.

It is especially interesting in view of the present wide popularity of Louis XVI furniture to know that designs of this type were highly prized in France during the period 1774-1793. Before the youthful Louis XVI and his still more youthful queen had ascended the French throne, furniture of this character, which later lent so much inspiration to the English master, Thomas Sheraton, as well as to his American prototype, Duncan Phyfe, had come into vogue. In Louis XVI designs, there is a noticeable change from the extravagance of the earlier French periods, and rectilinear lines are frequent, though curvilinear grace is still retained. The legs of tables and chairs usually are straight and ta"' rtchers, were often used and in Tfiatfycases the fronts and tops of tables and cabinets were gracefully shaped. In Louis XVI decora? tiona, floral wreaths and ribbons, baskets and rosettes constantly recur, and fluting, in legs and uprights, was much in vogue.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1. An order that

applicants for marriage licenses here

today be required to show their military registration cards was expected to put an end to the rush of men of conscription age to marry to escape

service in the national army. With the rush for licenses yesterday when many openly admitted they were being married to escape the military draft and but few of the 527 men granted licenses were not of military age, the bureau today wa3 trying to catch up in its routine work. An examination of the first seventy licenses showed that only one man was above the draft age. Only si:c were born In the United States and of these two had foreign born parents on one or both sides. Thirty-seven were Russian born; 17 were natives of Austria or Hungary; four Italians, four Roumanians and the rest scattering. Under the ruling of Thomas F. McCarthy, United States marshal, every male applicant today will be required to show his registration card when applying for a license, and it was said, there might be one or two deputies from the marshal's office present to

take action against those of draft age, who could not produce their registra-' tion cards. One explanation of the matrimonial j ruiSi is the prominence glcn by several foreign language newspapers to the report that the Provost Marshal Geresral said that a married man who couM prove the dependence of his wife would be exempt, regardless of the date of his marriage.
