LATE CROPS GET FROST
Seed Supply For Next Tear May Be
Injured by Early Fall Freezing-.
That the corn crop is late in many
parts of the state as a result of the
backward spring, and that as a result
there is danger of" fall frost injuring
ithe seed supply for next year, is the
opinion of J. F. Fox, farm crops man
at M. A. C.
As a measure to combat this threatened condition Professor Cox suggests
that in many cases it will be practicable for farmers to hasten the maturity of seed plot, in order to be sure of
getting seed before early frosts. The
application of fertilizer to a small
section of the field, an acre or so in
most cases, would be a practicable
way of hurrying along the seed crop.
Fertilizers high in phosphate are
those recommended for this purpose.
Except if or the lateness of the crop
the corn of the state is in good condition generally. The long dry spell of
early June brought about ideal conditions for weed control, with the result
that most fields are clean. The danger of soft corn in the fall at the
time of early frosts is the chief worry
of the corn grower, and any steps possible should be talken to secure early
maturing.

FACTS m GASHING
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Government Always Ready to Redeem Them With Merest, but
It Means a Loss in the
Earning Rate.
A considerable nunitjer of War Savings stamps are being cashed in Michigan. There is nothing alarming or
illegal about this. The* government intended that the small savings represented by War Savings" stamps should
be available in an emergency.
But the War Savings organization
for Michigan paints out that there is
another aspect to be considered.
Cashing AVar Savings stamps before
the date of maturity .^or selling them
to a scalper below "Spar represents
avoidable loss, thus defeating the very
object of the stamps—the practice of
thrift.
War Savings stamps held to maturity yield 4 per ont interest, compounded quarterly; if eashed before
maturity the interest amounts to only
3 per cent. Selling totscalpers represents a still greater loss.
Every effort is being made by the
government this year to inject a little
of real joy into thrift. Under stress
of war this perhaps was overlooked.
War Savings workers were carried
away with their enthusiasm. Methods of campaigning in some districts
probably resulted in some persons becoming unwilling buyers of stamps.
The government wants no unwilling
buyers, nor does it want unwilling
holders  of  stamps.
Many of those who have been cashing stamps at this time may be classed
as unwilling holders. Means adopted
in some quarters to induce these to
retain their stamps have created a
panicky feeling among other holders.
Many rushed to the post .offices to
give their ten days'. notice. With
those who met with no "strong-arm"
methods to prevent the cashing of
stamps confidence was restored and
the next day they promptly forgot
about  having given  notice.
Every applicant for redemption now
receives the following letter from the
postmaster:
"Your application has been placed
on file, and your money will be ready
for you in cash ten days after the
date of your applleatiojF'provided your
stamps are properly affixed to a War
Savings certificate issued in your
name.
"You will receive more cash than
you originally paid for any stamp
which you have held more than one
month. These stamps of course earn
interest. The}*, therefore, increase in
value month by month. In five years,
stamps costing from $4.12 to $4.23 are
worth §5. In other words, the money
invested in each stamp earns from 11
cents to 88 cents, or interest at more
than 4 per cent per annum.
"Do you know, however, that you do
not have to take cash for all of the
War Savings samps on your -certificate?
"Possibly at this time you do not
need all of your cash that is invested in stamps. In that case I will be
glad to give you cash for any part of
them that you wish to turn into money and give you the balance in 1919
"War  Savings  and   Thrift stamps.
"On the other hand, if you have
need at this time for all of the cash
you have invested in stamps, the government Is glad to return it to you,
regretting of course that circumstances compel you to lose the good
rate of interest which your money
would earn during the next few
months or years.
"Doubtless, when your present
emergency is passed, you will hegin
to save again and will want to buy
more Thrift stamps and War Savings
stamps. It will be a keen personal
pleasure to me to serve you In this
respect."
NO  WASTE   IN  THIS   FAMILY.

GETS OWN  HOME WITH  W. S.  S.
All Michigan has heard of the great
congestion in Detroit. One war workman, Samuel S. Woods, who worked
in one of the munitions plants during
the war, has turned this condition to
good account.
His landlord told him he was going
to raise the rent. Woods was downcast for a time, but he thought of §300
War Savings stamps he had saved.
With these he made the first payment
on a home of his own, and now he can
laugh at landlords.
He is saving stamps again. He says
he has found them mighty handy. They
absorb, his loose change which might
be frittered away, and they pay as
good interest as a savings bank. He
regards them in? fact, as his savings
bank.

It is pleasant duping these summer

cordial fellowship of public worship.
Very many people who have a conceded opinion of their own intellectual achievemen's find a cheap way

exceptions to the bible. They do net
believe in the miracles; to these

of the remarkable happenings of
these modern times that God' is sti'l

coming to pass that baffle the wisdom
of the world.

COUNTY CLERKS TO SEE
BOUNTY KILLS NO MORE
No longer will the offices of county
clerks of the state be littered up with
the dead bodies of hawks, weasels
owls and other such birds and animals on which the state pays a bounty. A new law, passed during the recent session of the legislature, changes all this and simplifies the method
of obtaining the bounty for killing
them.
A copy of the law shows that when
a person kills a weasel, an owl or
hawk, and wishes to collect a bounty,
lie shall take it to the township clerk,
who shall give him an order on the
county clerk. The latter will- issue a
warrant on the county treasurer and
the man can get his money without
waiting for the board of supervisors
to meet.
Under the old law all such carcasses or their heads had to be brought
to the county clerk's office. The person bringing in such remains made
an affidavit that he had killed the
bird or animal and this was attached
to a claim which had to be passed on
by the board of supervisors. Then it
had to go to the auditor general and,
in the course of weeks the bounty was
paid. In the case of owls, sparrows
and hawks, the county clerk kept
their bodies and had them burned.
The ears of the weasels were punched
or cut off to prevent the collection of
a bounty on them the second time.
Under the new law the county
clerk will never see or handle the
bodies, this being put up to the township clerks.
Representative John Y. Martin of
Corunna introduced the bill, which
takes effect August 15.

"Woman," Maurice Tourneur's feminine epic which comes to the Liberty
theatre on Sunday and Monday evenings, stands In at least one respect as
the most remarkable film offering of
the year. "Woman" is different, indeed, so different .that it completely
defies cla-sification.
No single descriptive name can be
given "Woman." The beautiful production does not fall into any one
class. It is ndt a melodrama. Rather
;s it a study in womanhood of remarkable psychological depth. While
it has plenty of physical action, its
keynote lis mental. Neither is "Woman" a spectacle. It is intimate and
personal, "the five episodes,- with the
prologue and epilogue, telling the direct story of six women and six men.
Sometimes hundreds of supernumer-
iries appear, as in the ancient Roman
interlude, but their appearances serve
•n'y as a background. Director Tour-
neur has cen'.eied his intcrert "n
each, episode upon one single woman.
"Woman" 1s not allegorical. There
■s nothing symbolical ahout Mr. Tour-
aeur'is study of woman's dsvelo. ment
hrough the ages. Each instance
chosen to be presented is direct, vlg_-
orous, straight from the shoulder
drama, except in the instances of the
i.dam and Exe episode and the Brittany seacoast fairy tale. The latter
is fantasy of the sheerest, most deli-
oate texture. The handling of the
3ardeiv of Eden, with the universe's
first woman, is mai'ked by spiritual
reverence, imagination and gicd
taste.
"Woman"is not in any single conventional photoplay form. It is a new
idea in script development. The
critic of "The New York Times" enthusiastically termed the various episodes photographic ballads.
