"HANSI," ALSATIAN ARTIST

Not long ago a mild sensation was
created when John Waltz, an Alsatian
artist and writer, widely known under
the pseudonym OF "Hansi," was con-
demned by the German authorities to
a years imprisonment on account OF
a book for children which he had
written and illustrated. In this book,
which was called Mon Village" he
dealt in a humorous and satirical vein
with life in his native village, and
he was lavish both with pen and pen
ell in criticism OF the German masters
of Alsace-Lorraine and praise of the
French, its rulers of yesterday.
Since then "Hansi" has produced
another work. which, together with its
predecessor, has become SO enormous
ly popular in France since the out
break of war against Germany that
copies are scarcely to be obtained.
This, THE History of Alsace for Lit
tie Children. Told by Their Uncle
Hansi,' gives little Alsatians a survey

MAJ. GEN. SAM HUGHES,

One of the most picturesque fig

Gen. Sam Hughes. minister Of militia
His admirers call him independent
and efficient; his critics say he is a
marvel of indiscretion. He organized
Valcartier camp, where the Canadian
contingent was trained for the Euro
pean war, and. bossing the job to
suit himself, succeeded in arousing a
lot of adverse criticism. But on his
return from England he wiped all
that out with this typical speech:
Il have 1t on the word of the
late Lord Roberts that valcartier
camp displayed on the part of your
humble servant, capacity for or
ganization and driving power. unsur-
passed in military history"
But Hughes was not long in find
ing fresh trouble. General Lessard, a
French-Canadian officer, who did val

MISSOURI BOY SHOWS KANSAS

Everyone in Kansas, and particu-

Columbia and Mexico. Mo-, boy, Jouett
Shouse. He moved to Kinsley, Ed
wards county, from his former home
in Lexington. KY, on November IS,
1911, and on November 8, 1914, was
elected to represent the largest con-
gressional district of the Union.
Shouse is the son of the late Rev.

ly known and beloved ministers of
the Christian church. During the Pc
riod from 1892 to 1898, Mr. Shouse
had charges in Columbia and Mexico.
His son Jouett was a student at the.
University of Missouri. In 1911,
through Shouse's efforts, the delegates
to the state convention from the Sew

for Champ Clark. The state conven-
tion instructed for Champ Clark. And
Kansas was one of the first states to

Don't try to raise ducks and chick

and the result is failure. Ducks re-
quire different food and different man

Even geese and ducks will not
thrive together. For instance, COS

ducklings will starve. 1t is better.

Whole grain is not good for young

good for old ducks. II 1t must be

very common mistake among be-
ginners Is that Of keeping ducks in
damp quarters. They imagine because
ducks like to swim and paddle in wa
ter that they can endure any amount
OF dampness, without injury.
This is not the case. Houses with
leaky roofs and damp floors are as un-
fit for ducks as for any other kind of
poultry.
Ducks always sleep on the floor or
the ground, therefore all such places
should be as clean and dry as posi-

clean litter or straw, and change it

GOOD COMBINATION IN SOUTH

Devour Many Insects.

Raising poultry and fruit make an
ideal combination. There is both mon.
ey and pleasure in the business, says
The Southern Fruit Grower The fowls
seem to improve the fruit. Not near as
much worm-eaten fruit will be found
where the hens and chickens have a
run among thu trees. They eat much
OF the fallen and decayed fruit, also all
the insects that caused 1t to decay.
thus removing the danger of having
other damaged fruit
Then on the other hand, the poultry
derives great benefit from having an
orchard for run. They have shade
in warm weather. which is very neces-
sary for all kinds of poultry, and the
trees serve as a wind break during
stormy weather. Then the fruit and
insects the hens have to eat help
greatly in balancing up the ration and
radNning the food supply bill.

A profitable COW can seldom be
bought.
How to maintain the dairy is be-
coming a serious problem.
In keeping cows never be without
clover. 1t is one Of the foods essential
to good dairying.
In feeding a mich COW corn
ration, reduce the ration at first indi-
cation of fattening.
Success in dairy farming depends
not only on good stock, but also on
good common sense work.
No feed returns as much profit as
that which puts a COW in good condi-
ton just before calving time.
The quicker an acre is capable Of
paying for itself in what 1t produces
the more that acre is worth.
A pretty COW Is not necessarily a
profit producer. Better to pin our
faith to the COW with good appe-
tite.
