Washington, D. C., Dec. b. "Fruitfulness, splendid order and con- tentment characterized the Cham pagne country, where now the lines Of the French and German trenches wind like scars through the heart of it's high plains,' begins a statement issued today by the National Geogra- phic society which describes and To- oates this old land division mentioned continuously in press despatches from the front Its peasant proprietors were weil-to- do before the war; it's cities. while small, were well-built and prosperous, and eases of poverty were seldom to be met with within it's area. It's farms, under intense culti- vation. yielded more than the rich holdings in the famous black-earth belt of Russia and the wine made from it's grapes was known wherever west ern civilization had found it's way.
 .'The Champagne is an old-time provincial division of France, and is included within the present depart ments of Marne, -Marne, Seine et-Marne, Aube, Ardennes, Aisne and Yonne The trenches pass through Flanders, the Artois, Picardie, and, then. enter the Champagne, where are located some of the most import ant battlefields on the western front. Rheims is the heart of the region and the German lines are just beyond this city. The old province was about 180 miles long by 150 miles broad, and, after the 10th century, it was ruled bv it's own counts who were vassals of the French kings. Its capital was Proves. It was united by marriage to the French crown, and was incorpor- a4ed with the kingdom in 1861.
 "Liege and LpXemburg bound the nrovince on the north: Lorraine bounds it on the east; Burgundy, on tne south; and Picardie and Isle de France, on the west. Thus fighting reported from the Champagne takes

It is reported that certain commlIn- ities in Great Britan show an in- crease in births by boy babies as we'll as an increase in the number of mar riages This shows that Great Brit ain is already spontaneously repairing the ravages of war. upon population. The condition is probably true of all the warning countries. When the next census is taken it will perhaps showi that the population of Europe is less depleted than might be expected.
 It has always been claimed that more boy babies arc born during war in which there is great loss of malc life, but the claim has never been proved. The birth rates of Europe af- ter this war may furnish the necessary evidence, since registration is now general.
 It seems reasonable to suppose th at for time marriages will be expedited by the marriage of young people at an earlier age and that extra effort will be made to protect infant life. The cost of war in human life is thus not an impairment of the future pop-, ulation so much as destruction ofl the living. ra

place somewhere between Soisson, on the west, and the forest of Argonne, on the east. The country is hilly on the north and east while high plains form it's center. It is throughout this re- zion that the present German lines cut deepest into France.
 "On the hills and undulating fields of northern and central Champagne. in the shallow soils, are grown the grapes from which Frances world famed wines are made, the aristocra- cy among all the wines of earth. Pro- duction in this part of France is rich and varied, but it is upon the success of the grape harvests that the good and bad years largely depend. A bad grape year is felt by all the people of the province, while good grape year brings prosperity to all. The wine product is sent to every country in the to represent an important item in the nations foreign trade. Rheims and Epernay are the import centers of champagne manufacture, and miles of racks of this product are stored in la- byrinthian galleries cut through the low chalk hills in their neighborhoods. A trip through these underground tie lighted rooms where small groups of workmen bottled or cut the wines, was a regular feature on the tourists program, whose route through France ran this way"

Get a girl Get a horse. Get sleigh. And then in the soft mellow glow of the moonlight, drive out in the country. But when you do so, be careful of the drifts. Because, while this is the season of the sleigh, with it's merry tinkling bells, it is also the time when pneumonia and other kindred sicknesses are abroad in the land. So, if you are not careful where you drive you may upset tic sleigh. And, when you tumble out in the crisp, fluffy snow, you always stand a chance of contracting a good ly cold. And a cold means incon- venience, at least. Therefore, when you decide to indulge in this wonder ful winter sport, sleighing, be care full where you drive. Watch your step.

HOME TOWN.
Something Well Worth Reading A
 This Time of the Year.


 Upon receipt of a number of re- quests for the publication of a little essay "HCme ToWn,'' which appeared in the Kansas City Star some time ago, the Herald takes pleasure in running this refreshing bit once again. It is as follows:
 Home Town is around the bend on the road to Yesterday. It is mel lowed by memories and painted with sunshine. Among the inha bitants are the fat boy called ''skinny' pig tailed sweethearts who turn up their noses and run away, the preacher who asks after the health of every member of the family by name, the school teacher, the gang and grand ma, and the dog. Roses bloom there in gardens behind the fence palings along the street Folk walk lei surely and speak to each other in passing. The church bells of Sun day morn call youth and innocence to come and sit in a square pew with a door to it and eat peppermint drors and doze and sleep on the edge of a starched collar It has a, "deepo" to which go small boys to watch the trains roll up grandly and snort and pass on. It is usually summer there although there are clustering days when the sleigh-bells jangle- sleighs pass with incredible. swiftness the small boys standing on the ex- tended runners in the rear and rid

A Morning of the Long Ago.
(Capper's Weekly.)

Buck Kilby says, the Kansas Meth odist preacher who goes out and husks a hundred bushels of corn a day for fun has the most pronounced sense of humor of anyone he ever knew.
 And that conjures up this picture. A crispy, cold early morning in Mo- vember. The stars are beginning to fade out of the sky. Two horses at- tached to farm wagon, the box equipped with sideboards and throw" board, headed, in the half darkness, in the direction of the field. Long rows of corn dried out by the heat of the sun and shredded by the wind standing spook-like on the horizon, each ear rimed with the hoar frost of autumn. A sleepy boy with tired joints descends from the wagon to the ground. His hands are sore and cracked in a hundred places. Where the skin has held together 1t is al- most worn through. His nails are broken and jagged, few of the wider and deeper cracks staunched with shoemaker's wax melted in before an open fire the night before. He takes hold of the first ear reluctantly, and his sore and stiffened fingers al- most refuse to do his bidding. The touch of the coarse, sharpedged husks sends cold shivers up and down his skin. He notices, as he yanks the first car from it's jacket. that he has left a drop of blood on the husk. On the next husl1 there are two or three drops of blood. In ten minutes his tortured hands are numb and stiff with cold. But pres ently he warns up and forgets his maimed hands in the thought that he must husk and crib his fifty or sixty bushels by night. The sun comes up and in an hour or two he is working more easily and with
 much greater speed. His hands have stopped bleeding, but for every ear he losses into the wagon box And then another: Dusk in the same field. He is finishing his sec ond load. The end of the field is ten rods away. The corn is piling up against the throw" board. He husks the last ear in the row and climbing upon the wagon drives to the crib half a mile away. AS soon as he scoops the load into the crib, unhitches waters, unharnesses and 1 feeds the hogs, he is through for the 1 day and goes gaily in to supper con- scfous that he has nothing more to do until four o'clock the next morning. It's q. great life and most any humor- ist can get a lot of fun out of it.

Origin of the Phrase ''Brother Jona- than as applied to the Yankee.

Sir:-Will you tell me why the phrase Brother Jonathan is used to designate Yankee?

 In the winter of 1776 General Washington was badly in need of am- r1unition. He called council of officers, but no practical suggestions were offered. we must consult Brother Jonathan" said the general, raeaning his excellency, Jonathan Trumbull the elder governor of the State of Connecticut. This done, the difficulty was removed. And ever afterward the set phrase of the coun- ,try was ''consult Brother Jonathan. ' Later the appellation Brother Jona- than was affixed to any man who came from America, it really meant man of ideas. It is now used just as John Bull is used in England.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT MISSE!

 When worse comes to worst and an American citizen has noSone left upon whom to vent his wrath tile President of the United States always offers very convenient target. No matter who you are, what you do, how you do it, or where you belong, there is this possibility. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, and every artisan in the land can take a crack at the President. That is what he is there for, to be criticised. What boots it that he is a specialist; that he is one of the greatest students of economics in the country; that he is historian; that he is scholar; that he knows more about certain condi- tlons than any one else; what matters that? There is always someone who knows more than he. There is always someone lying in ambush ready to 1ambast him. That is one of the joys of being. a citizen of the United States. Of course, it could not be done in any other country in the world, and that is probably what makes it such a won- derful pastime. The same men who ident performs would be, were they in England and criticised the King, ruth lessly thrown in the bastile and no questions asked. Were a man in Ber- lin, tre +IS; he would not even hesitate throwing at the President of the United States he might suffer the ignominy of being beheaded. But that is neither here President goes. Whether it pertains to his private life or his public acts. We are all at liberty to call him what we will, to stamp him down as a rene gade an ingrate, despoiler, a traitor, anything, everything. It is easy to say the President has sold out to Ger many, to England, to any foreign na- tion It is very easy to find fault with
 his policies. And yet, in the final analysis, the President of the United
 States was put there because the peo- pie of the United. States wanted him, and, having ascended to the chair, he
 is not readily going to do anything that will be detrimental to the nation. He
 has the countrys interests at heart just as much as any man on the street corner, probably more so because it is the business of the President to take care of the United States. That is all l he has to do, to attend to the affairs of 1 the nation. He is even getting paid l for it. And, while the ribbon clerks 1 are doling out their allotment of mer- 1 chandise, the President of the United 1 States is taking care of more serious l business But it stands to reason 1 that he cannot know as much about 1 the country as the fellow who stands around on the street corner every afternoon and night after work. Be- cause it is on the street corner that l all the wisdom is gathered. There you 1 find the fountain head of all knowl- 1 edge. It is too bad the President can 1 not get around more and hear things. , He would be very much edified. And l then, too, he would know how to per- 1 form the functions of his office.
