kter v.

Senator James A. Reed WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. Asking questions doesn't irk U. S. Senator James A. Reed it's trying to ask questions in four different places at once that bothers him. Perhaps the asking comes easy to Reed because he comes from Missouri, where "show me" is the state den. . He would like to ask questions in four different places because he is a member of four different investigating committees of tbe upper house which makes him perhaps the busiest person in the capital. He wants to ask War Secretary Baker about supplies to cantonments in tbe military investigation, but he has to forego asking Coal Administrator Garfield about -tbe fuel situation if he does or let Herbert Hoover get away without demanding to know the whys and wberefors of sugar shortage. Then, too, Josephus Daniels may get away without being properly probed over at tbe navy investigation. Reed, facing the impossibility of attending all sessions of all the committees he 1b ou, does the next best thing and attends all of them he can. He was particularly nettled one day recently when committees investigating the military, the navy, the sugar and the fuel situations were all in session at one time.

NO BASEBALL IN CUBA WHEN PLAYERS DEMAND HUGE WAGES

HAVANA, Jan. 16. Tbe ball players of Cuba seem to have killed the goose that laid tbe golden egg. Head ed by Mike Gonzales, the Cardinals' Cuban catcher,, they have made demands so exorbitant that baseball has been put on the shelf here for the present season at least. Last year ba shall flourished in Cuba after Charley Brown, the leading baseball magnate .of these parts, spent quite a sum in building up parks and so on and in making the game more popular with fans than it bad been in some while. Not only was Brown liberal with the fans, but he was liberal with the players, asd split his receipts ifty-flfty, giving the players half of all that . came in through tbe gate. This yiar, however, th . players thought taey saw a chance to make even more aud after appointing Gonzales their spokesman they demanded at least seventy-five per cent of all receipts. Gooiles explained that it would havs to be at least seventy-five per cent or no baseball. Brown replied that in that case there would be no baseball. And the players who might have been taking in very satisfactory wages are now idle. Gonzales, by the way, .has planned to take a selection of the best Cuban players back to tbe states with hira to fill the vacencies of players taken in the draft. But if they, are as .hard to please as it appears, perhaps th American magnates would prefer to manage without them.

SEED GORU WORST IIJ TWENTY YEARS

.Soarcity of Seed Corn Threatens . 1918 Crop. v - Do Not Import Seed Unless Absolutely Necessary Do Not Cut Down AcreageMust Have Corn to Pro dues Meat and Fata for Our Soldier. . By P. G. HOLDEN. There is nation-wide alarm about eed corn. The condition la the most critical experienced in twenty years. The com belt has suffered tremendous losses. Frost in September killed the com and prevented it from ripening and drying out. When the unusually cold freeze of October came great damage followed. As a result, tbe first Impulse will be to Import seed corn. Corn grown from eed brought in from other localities will be inferior in yield and quality, end in many cases, total failure will Follow. ' We must not Import seed corn until we have exhausted every resource to obtain seed in our own neighborhood. Rather than go without seed, import It, but get it from just as near home as possible. Thousands of tests made by experiment stations, tests made in 28 DO WOT IMPORT SEED CPRM PLANT HOME CROWN SEED 6000 TESTS, 8YRS..93 COUNTIES IOWA

HOME CROWN IMPORTED states by the government, and the re suits borne out in actual experience, show the danger of importing corn. These facts are 'not the results of one test, for one year, in one locality, but for a period of eight years in 33 different counties in Iowa with over 8.000 tests. In not a single case did the imported samples equal the homegrown seed. The home-grown corn. In every test, outyielded the Imported corn on an average of 20 bushels to the acre, and was of better quality. Will .we ever learn to save seed? We can Import potatoes, oats and wheat, but we cannot import seed corn and expect to get as good results as we would get from corn grown in the Immediate neighborhood, -It wilt be impossible to measure tbe loss of land, labor, food and money to the people of this country if we fall to realize the importance of these facts. If you have old corn left over from your 1916 crop, keep It for seed and test every ear. Do not conclude too soon that there is no seed corn In your locality. Ask your county agentwrite to your agricultural college. Do not let the seed com situation discourage you. The government is asking for meats and fats for our soldiers, and we must have corn to produce them. Regardless of conditions we must grow our usual acreage of corn ; don't cut It down ; don't put off testing; don't Import unless absolutely necessary. We will not have fats and meats without corn. If you have no seed corn, don't wait until planting time, and then expect someone to bring it to you. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Agricultural Extension Department of the International Harvester Company, Chicago, will send, free banker, paper patterns of seed corn germination cloths and rag dolls, with full directions for testing corn. DEALERS ARE OUT WILLIAMSBURG, Jan. 17 If a supply of coal is not received here soon, many people will suffer. The dealers are out. The country roads are not yet open and no wood can be bought.

Revelations BY ADELE

A VERY TACTLESS SPEECH "Looks like ready money, doesn't she?" Dicky mumbled in my ear. I codded assent. Dicky's open admiration of this girl was beginning to get on my nerves. It was oar first day's outing together since our marriage, and Dicky's whole attention since we came into the railroad station had been centered upon the girl opposite. True, I shared his opinion that she was the most beautiful and stunning creature I had ever seen. The air of complete unconsciousness of her sur roundings , which, ahe. , had, . although j she must nave Known tnat almost every eye in the coach was watching her, made her a most interesting study. , But woman-like, while I enjoyed watching her myself I had a distinct resentment that Dicky should find her so absorbing. I had never heard Dicky express admiration for any woman's

beauty before and this enthusiastic praise of his made me wince. "I wish she didn't lock quite so much like a walking advertisement of a rich dad," Dicky went on in my ear. "There would be some chance of scraping an acquaintance with her. But I would not dare to risk it. She might summon the conductor to put me off the train. I wonder if she will change at Jamaica, too." This speech made me furious. I do not know whether it was jealousy or not that I felt. But that Dicky should so far forget me as to talk calmly of this beautiful stranger was too much. I felt that I must get somewhere where I could tell Dicky what was in my mind. I meant to get off at the next station and go back to New York. He could then follow the beautiful woman if he wished. At least I would not put In the day listening to his rhapsodies over another woman. I turned to him, and put my muff

Advertising brings all selling into the light of day. It enables the (reader to make a decision in the quiet atmosphere of the home. The housewife who makes a study of the advertising columns is the best buyer and in the long run the best customer. The economies made possible through regular reading of The Pailadium's advertising columns is undoubtedly a big factor in the social and commercial life of Richmond and Wayne County. Advertising is the great price reducer of business. It brings increased demand and thus allows for economies of large production, careful buying and quick selling.

before my face so that no one should hear what I was earing. "Dicky." 'I wid tensely, "there is something I must say to you at ence. Please take me into the next car. I see there is no one in the row nearest this end. I shall be able to talk to you without anyone bearing us." I rose and walked steadily into the other oar, not knowing or caring whether Dick followed me or not. I bad but one desire, to get away from tbe sight of the beautiful girl across the aisle. "Well! Whatever In the world does this mean?" - Dicky towered over me as I sank in-, to a corner seat in tbe coach of tb Jamaica express. He had followed ice from tbo other coach when I had left my seat so suddenly with the whispered request for him to follow me. I looked at him steadily. "Sit down, please, and I will tell you." I said coldly. His eyes . twinkled. To my utter amazement he broke out laughing. "You don't need to tell m," he sail. "You see I bad forgotten all about that jealous streak in you when I was raving about the charms of tbe lady in the eeat opposite." My cheeks flamed. "I am not Jealous.I said, with aU the dignity T could muster. "We started out this morning for a day In the country, the flrBt little trip we have made since our marriage. I think I really might have counted upon some of your attention. But since you have scarcely said a dozen words to me since we started " "Two dozen, I think, my dear one." Dicky Interrupted with the most exasperating sweetness. "And those were wholly upon the subject of the beauty of the woman , across the aisle. I did not mind that so much. But when you planned to crape an acquaintance with her. as you so elegantly put it, I made up my mind that I would give you the opportunity. I will get off at the next station, and take a train back to town. Then you can meet the lady unhampered by nry presence." - "A trifle peered, arent yon?" Dicky's voice was mocking. But bo saw what I could not conceal, that tears were rising to my eyea. I was able to keep from shedding them, so no one but Dicky could have guessed I was agitated.

Croup at Midnight; Well in Morning "A few nights ago one of my patrons bad a small child taken with croup about midnight," writes M. T. Davie. Bearsvllle, W. Va. "They came to my Store and got a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar. Before morning the child was entirely recovered. The father's name is C. C. Craven." Isn't it unwise to . experiment with unknown cough medicines when you can get the genuine Foley's Honey and Tar? Best for coughs, colds, croup and lagrippe. For sale by A. G. Luken & Co. Adv.
