Farmers well know that In some years It is almost impossible to get their corn to dry naturally because of excessively damp weather, or a sudden cold snap may freeze the corn before nature has sufficiently dried It. Many device for kiln-drying corn have been Invented which are more or less successful, but a drier is hard to control unless it Is made so that It controls Itself. The device above shown is long.

REED BITTER ON LEAGUE QUESTION (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. Speaking in the senate today against the league of nations. Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, declared that while Washington fought to establish this nation's right as a sovereign to control its own affairs, "Woodrow Wilson counsels with the representatives of kings to transfer the sovereignty Washington t gained to a league which they will dominate." "Dropping its common phraseology," Senator Reed added. "When America acquires the right to stick her face in the business of 31 alien states she gives the right to 31 alien states to atick their 31 alien notes into the business of America. The man who is willing to give to any nation or assemblage of nations the right to mind the business of the American people ought to disclaim American citizenship and ask rate to the countries, willing to handal Amer ican business for her. The Missouri senator took the President sharply to task for assailing senators who failed to subscribe to his views on the league, saying the man who refused "to surrender with the pen what Washington gained with the sword, is politely described as a contemptible quitter." Because members of the senate had not immediately approved the treaty, the president, Senator Reed said, "in substance charged them with treason by intimating that they are now conspiring with Germany, a country with which we are technically at war," and added, "the statement is as false as it is infamous." Senator Reed discussed various provisions of the league covenant, said thp mpmbershin would be comnosed S of approximately "three dark skinned men for each white man, and that from the first "a majority of the league will always vote for race equality." p0intini g out that it had long been the business of each state to have regard for its own interests, Senator Reed said a man who imagined that membership in the league would change this century old disposition "is a visionary indeed". SCOTT SERVICES HELD Funeral services for Mrs. Kate Scott were to be held at the residence 19 South Eleventh street at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. Rev. J. J.

Seed. Gbrrv

SoTAatit mU Surely Grow,

boxlike tube fitted with wire shelve upon which the ears of corn are laid At one end is a galvanized fireproof case which contains an ordinary oneburner oil stove which makes no odor. In order to create a gentle current a nonelectric fan motor is placed back of the oil stove. The motor runs by hot air, and while !t creates a positive air current it does not blow a blast as would an electric fan. This Is the scientific principle and Its secret lies in the combination of gentle ventilation and gentle heat under perfect control, drying the corn thoroughly in 24 hours or less, depending upon Its moisture content. Seed selection is also a science, and a farmer should go through his fields after the kernels have become well dented and select the ears from the growing stalks which have the proper thrifty characteristics. In this way the very best results are obtained.

Approxi mate number of steel employes possi bly affected by the strike in the United States, 515,000. Employes of United States Steel Corporation affected by strike, 268,710. Number of Steel Corporation em ployes holding stock, 60,741; in 1918, 43,777; in 1917, 39.252. Total wages and salaries paid by United States- Steel in 1918. $452,663, 524. Expenditures for welfare work, 1917, $10,648,980. Unskilled help, lowest daily pay, $3.50; highest, $6. Skilled help, lowest daily pay, $7; highest. $70 to $80. Highest priced help, rollers, average $30 a day and run up to $80. Next highest priced help, melters, average $20 a day. In the steel corporation there were few if any union workmen until the current unionizing campaign, it is estimated that the number of employes now affiliated with the unions does not exceed fifteen per cent, or about 36,000 out of a grand total of 240,000, leaving something like 65,000 union men among independent companies. Below is a table showing the number of employes of the leading steel companies in the last year. Av. number employed in 1918. U. S. Steel corporation 268,710 Bethlehem Steel 93.000 Midvale Steel and Ordnance.. 40,000 Cricible Steel . 35,000 Jones & Laughlin 20,000 Republic Iron and Steel ..... 14,668 Youngstown Sheet and Tube . 13,500 Lackawanna Steel 12,015 Inland Steel 12,000 Total 518,893 Of this approximately half a million steel workers, less than 20.000 are members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. Activties of union organizers, largely among the alien workmen, in recent months may have added 15 per cent, of the balance, or about 70,000, in addition to which there is a certain amount of union mebers among men employed in collateral lines of work, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, etc., and classed as steel workers. It would appear that the most liberal allowance for the unions could not concede them over 100,000 men out of a grand total of about half a million or approximately 20 per cent. Camden, 0.
