KERR Select your seed corn this fall. Corn is one of the most important products, and is used more largely as an article for man and beast in this section probably than any other food product. There are so many Ways of preparing cornbread so as to make it most palatable that con-bread is be coming most popular. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that the proper seed corn be selected now while it is growing in the fields from the best type of stalk and from the best type of ears. Seed corn should be selected from stalks that produce the most corn, regardless of the num ber of ears on the stalk. The best rule to be guided by, however, is to select seed corn only from stalks that have two or three well developed ears. At least three or four times as much corn should be gathered in the field for seed as will be needed for seed next year. Cora so selected should be placed in dry, well ventilated daces that is free from rats and mice. JOHN MOTLEY MAKES ANOTHER BITTER TIRADE For Judge Superior Court Fourth Judicial District FRANK A.

My dear Pat: n'Hnnlinn mmde the supreme rifir last week. I am proud of our kinsman here in America. While tome Him ivmmrhiiera in Ireland nave DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET Sixty-six out of one hundred Ameri can citizens die penniless. With the campaign for thrift and the economy practiced by the American people during the war, it is hoped that there will be more well-to-do people, and that the next census will show a larg er percentage of American citizens who do not live from hand to mouth, and there is one thing that will bring about this change. By practicing thrift the chains of poverty and de pendence will be shaken off, and in stead cf darkness and dependence, they will be walking with that inde pendence and self-esteem that comes with prosperity, the result of saving. Always spend less than you make, r.nd live simpler and saner lives. If we practice thrift, we will look back after the next census is taken and wonder why it is that there has been such a magical change, and we will see that It was the work of the War Savings campaign, the great thrift movement, that .new and, fit first un popular, doctrine, which made saving fashionable and extravagance a dis grace. Individuals who missed this training became poorer financially and weaker- morally. On the other hand, those who practiced its virtues pros pered and it wa3 tkey who increased the number of the "well-to-do" class.

WILSON ON JANUARY I LAST The terms set forth try President Wilson as essential to peace in his address to Congress on Jan. 8, last, referred to ia the note of Inquiry to Germany sent Tuesday, are as follows: L Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at after which there shall be no private international understanding of any kind, but diplomacy shall proceed frankly and in the public view. II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for thCenlorcement OI lnternauomu cvvoumw. HI. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic bar riers and the establishment of an ednality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its- maintenance; IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national ar maments will reduce to the lowest- point consistent with domes tic safety. y, Free, open-minded and absolutely impartial adjustment 'of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the population concerned must " have equal weight with the equitable claims of the Government whose title is to be determined. VI. The evacuation of all Russian territory and such set tlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest co-operation of the other nations of the world in ob taining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political develop ment and national policy, and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy. VII. Belgium, the whole world will agree,'must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as 'this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole structure and val idity of international law is forever impaired. VIII. All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in ,1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace mav once more be made secure in the interest of all. IX. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be ef fected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality. X. The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be ac corded the freest opportunity of autonomous development. XI. Rumania, Serbia and Montenegro should be avacuated; occupied territoi ities restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan States to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and interna tional guarantees of the political and economical independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan -States should be entered into. XII. The Turkish portions of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nation alities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested oppor tunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and com merce of all nations under international guarantees. XIII. An independent Polish State should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a -free and secure access to the. sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant. XIV. A general association of nations must be formed un der specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guar antees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small States alike. THE FOUR POINTS LAID DOWN IN PRESIDENT'S SPEECH OF JULY FOURTH r : I. The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly, and of its single choice disturb the peace of the world; or, if it cannot be presently destroyed, at least its reduction to virtual impotence. II. The settlement of every question, whether of territory, of sovereignty of economic arrangement or of political rela tionship, upon the basis of te free acceptance of that settlement by the people immediately concerned, and not upon the basis of the material interest or advantage of any other nation or people which may desire a different settlement for the sake of its own exterior influence or mastery. III. The consent of all nations to be. governed in their con duct toward each other by the same principles of honor and of respect for the common law of civilized society that govern the individual citizens of all modern states in their relations with one another, to the end that all promises and covenants may be sacredly observed, no private plots or conspiracies hatch ed, no selfish injuries wrought with impunity, and a mutual trust established upon the handsome foundation of a mutual re spect for right '. The establishment of an organization of peace which shall make it certain that the combined power of free nations will check every invasion of right and serve to make peace and justice the more secure by affording a definite tribunal of opinion to which all must submit and by which every international read justment that cannot be amicably agreed upon by the peoples directly concerned shall be sanctioned. .
