FRENCH hostility is not so pro-
nounced of late. Whether it comes
from policy or not, there are now
more expressions of sympathy from
France for this nation in the war
than from any other country ex-

to belittle the United States rather
more than any other nation.

He described that country to be a place of leisure, where the watermelons grew in numbers on the public Streets and buckwheat cakes were in evidence on all the trees, while the 'possums were begging to be killed.

 So persuasive were his words that 8 party of 198 cofored folks assem- bled from different points in the State aid left for the land of prom ise. Many gave up their happy homes and good positions to get 10 plug the melons and conquer the African 'possum.
