ZECHIEL LOCATES SEED CORN FOR WAYNE FARMERS

Emergency. County Agent Locates Between 600 and 800 Bushels of 1916 Corn. W. IL Zechlel, emergency demonstrating county agent, has issued the following to Wayne county farmers: "I have located between 600 and 800 bushels of 1916 corn that was grown in Rush county and shipped out of Rushvllle last summer. "Persons desiring cor- for seed only please send me your name and addres3 and it may be that we can have a carload shipped here later In the spring. I have seen this corn and it will be thoroughly tested before being sent out. Several tests have been mado and the prospects are fine. Much better than the average for old corn. "The thing to. do is to get your seed corn early and have it tested, ear for ear, before planting so you may feel sure that every kernel you plant will put up a game fibt for Its existence in this world. . "This corn is being held for seed and it is just a matter of getting it located where it belongs. The price may be fixed later. It will not be over fiv-e dollars depending on selection, etc." .

TELLS CONDITIONS SAMMIES MUST FACE

An appeal to Americans to come to the aid of the Belgian women and children, was made by Victor Vann, Belgian interpretor of the engineer corps, in a talk before the Rbtarv club Tuesday noon at the Arlington hotel. "The Belgian soldier is not asking Fnythlng for himself." he said, "but the women and children of his country are starving by hundreds. The men are all in uniform and the women are plowing 500 yards from the German lines, trying to raise food for themselves. Americana must help if they are not to starve." T.ruce McKay, of the Cameron Highland regiment, described the differ

ent methods of trench warfare, and told of conditions which the American soldiers must face. He characterized the United States marines as the most effective fighting force, not only in the United States, but in the world Stories of German atrocities McKay confirmed with incidents seen by himself during the campaigns at the front.

marketed from day to day as compared wlta the consumption and the present prices of food. The main trouble lies in the fact that all hens are not good hens. In fact, if we use as a standard of a. good hen a production of 150 eggs per year, we find a large portion of all hens in America fail to qualify. It seems to be a recognized fact, based on the last census figures compiled by our government, that the average farm hen lays about seventy-five eggs. We believe this is perhaps too low a figure for ths 1917 average hen. We believe that the increase in breeding from standard-bred stock in the past five to ten years has already made an improvement in the egg production of

the average hen. In these days when every ounce of food should be conserved by feeding it only where it will produce its like, or more, in food value, and also in these days of high priced grains, we should take steps which insure the keepin? of all hens with good laying ability, while the non-producers should be culled out and sold for meat. A few safe rules for selecting the females that will prove satisfactory: 1. Keep the birds with rather large plump combs and wattles. 2. Hens with pale vents, pale beaks and pale legs are good layers. 3. Keep the late moulters. ' 4. Keep the pullets which mature quickly and start laying first. Those which start laying when less than 200 days old. or nearest that age. are the beat layers if they have had the

care. 5. Market

10. Birds that .have long toe nails

that 6how no sigji of being workers are usually unprofitable. 11. If a bird meets the above requirements it should have a broad back, long body, stoutly built and be in good flesh. 12. If a bird is not moulting and has a small, dried up comb, covered with a sort of whiteish substance, or if a bird has thick or crooked-pelvic bones which will be found on each side of the vent and above the point of the breast bone, these are always money losers.

RICHMOND ARMY BOARD PRAISED FOR EFFICIENCY

Hugh S. Johnson, deputy provost marshal general, lauds the patience and patriotic work of the army boards in following instructions and in building one of the largest armies in the history of the world. An extract of the letter received by the Richmond board, follows: "Boards are about to complete the erection of an army building machine,

City Statistics

Will Make Survey of Health Conditions Here , A survey of health conditions in Richmond is to be made by' Miss S. Kthel Clark, the new secretary of the social service bureau who has opened her office at the court house. "The demand for relief work is not so great in the spring as in the winter. " Miss Clark said, "but there is a great deal of sickness to look after, and sick calls will receive the special attention of the bureau." Plans for the year's work will be made Thursday, March 7. at a meeting of the social service board. Office hours for the bureau are from S to 5 o'clock. The telephone number is 2050. Calls will be received during the office hours.

Township Should Have Paid for Groceries for Smallpox Patients Groceries in the amount of $500 used by smallpox patients from Novoniler 22 to December 31. 1917. and paid tor by the city should have oeen paid for by the township trustee, according to City Attorney Robbins in an explanation at the city council meeting, Monday night Hitherto it has been the. practice of 'he city administration to pay for the provisions used by smallpox patients if thoy relied on the city for this form of relief. Acting on this theory grocers supplitd families during the last epidemic. Th law reads that if a patient is

able to pay for them himself, he must

do so; if unable, the township trustee and not the city must supply him with

rolief. just as if he were a charity patient.

PETROGRAD, Friday, Feb. 15.

Don Cossacks, ordered the immediate mobilization and arming of all Cossacks to fight the Bolsheviki troops advancing toward Novo Tcherkask. As a leader of the Don Cossack. General Kaledines was opposed to the Bolsheviki and he was leader of the counter-revolution against the Bolsheviki early last December. On January 1. republic of the Don was declared with General Kaledines as president and prime minister. It probably was the resignation of this government that led to his suicide. In five weeks during June and July. 1916. Russian troops under General Kaledines captured 20,000 prisoners in an advance in Volhynia. He was elected leader of the Don Cossacks in July 1917. An unconfirmed report that General Kaledines was believed dead was received in Washington on February 16, from the American consul at Tiflis.
