About French NoveIists.

According to writer in La Revu.
of Paris, the rank and file of novelists
in France draw on an average 800
COR each book, and many of them are
thankful to get half that amount. On
the other hand, those at the top of
the tree earn large incomes, and some
of them undertake more commia sions
than they can fulfill. Recourse Ia
then had to literary ghosts of whom
there are plenty in Paris, willing TO
furnish passable imitation of any
writer's work.
Popular novelists do not always
take the trouble to read the books un-
der their names. Some years ago a
ghost" with a grievance against his
employer interpolated in the book or.
dered from him two chapters of Mime.
Bovary," altering nothing but the
names of the characters.
The woman who signed the book.
In order to clear herself from the
charge of plagiarism, had to confess
that she had farmed it out.

Everybody knows this. Every
one knows that sometime we
must meet this evil and conquer
it, yet everyone waits for some
one else to start a campaign
against it. In the meantime is
the foxtail doing any waiting?
Not bit of it! 1t is sending its
seeds broadcast running our hay
fields and spreading over the
highways, and every minute get
ting firmer hold in the country.
What might have been conquered
in day at first, will take many
days now to exterminate and
each day that we wait will add
many more to the list.
