THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, APRIL 22, 1918

MANY RICHMOND WOMEN REGISTER FOR WAR WORK Every Wayne County Woman Expected to Sign Up for Service. Richmand women are responding so readily to the call of the government to register for war service, that it probably will not be necessary to conduct a house-to-house canvas, Mrs. Paul J?&ul Ross, In charge of the registration of .women in Wayne county, said Monday. In certain districts, where women do not understand the nature of the registration it may be necessary to visit the homes, and obtain the names of the women, and the work which they are able to do. In the rural districts a canvas is being made, as the easiest manner of getting the women on the farms registered. It is believed that by April 27 every woman in the county will bo registered for war work. Saturday was a busy day for the women who are conducting the registration in Richmond. The booths were kept open from 1 o'clock in the afternoon until late at night, and almost every woman patron of the shops took time to register before leaving the store. The women registered for varied occpations, many of the signifying their willingness to go anywhere they might be sent. Shop girls, who are dependent on their wages for a living, stated they were willing to serve only for their expenses, and many women who could afford to do so, volunteered their work without pay. A general booth at which women may register has been established at the Knollenberg store, md will be in charge of Mrs. William Dudley Foulke. The number of women who apply at downtown booths for registration made the additional booth necessary. The booth which was in charge of Mrs. Frederick Hicks at the Overland company has been changed to the Woolworth Five and Ten Cent store. The registration booths will be open every afternoon from 1 to 6 o'clock, and will be open Wednesday and Saturday evenings. Edward J. Fitzgibbons Dies of Heart Disease - Edward J.

URGES FARMERS TO TEST SEED CORN "A sample of crib corn belonging to J. A. Troxell of Washington township, recently tested for germination in my office, tested only 20 per cent," said County Agricultural Agent Kline Monday. "This means that only 20 ears grew out of the 100 that were tested. Since seed corn is so scarce I am recommending that farmers who are short on it go through the crib and make a careful selection of each ear and then test it for germination by the individual method. Kline said that the 100 ears on test from Troxell's crib were not especial ly selected, but taken at random from all parts of the crib. Mr. Troxell lives near Waterlow, and said that he would be willing to take a fair price for this corn. "Under no consideration would I ad vise the planting of this corn," said the county agent, "unless each ear is tested by removing five kernels, and germinated in a rag doll tester or some other form of tester equally as reliable." Bible Prophecy Class Has Large Attendance A large number of persons Sunday evening attended the first meeting of a series which is being given by Rev. A. J.

SEED CORN WILL BE DISTRIBUTED

At the request of a representative of the Crabb Reynolds Company of Crawfordsville, Ind., the car load of seed corn recently shipped to the Martindale elevator at Greensfork has been re-sorted, and is to be sold to the farmers.. J. C. Kline, Wayne county agricultural agent, stated a few days ago that the corn was unsuitable for seeding purposes in this county and would be shipped back to Crawfordsville, but It has been learned that part of the corn, at least, can be used. It will be ready tor distribution Tuesday. Kline said the corn toward the bottom of the car was found to be of a much better grade than the ears examined on the top. "Since all of the sound ears are in fine condition," Kline said Monday, "there is no doubt about the germination of this corn. Those farmers wishingto examine a sample can see it at the county agent's office In the court house."
