Paris. Feb. 13.-The firing line
seems to have few terrors for the ad-
venturous French press. Besides the
official daily" which. as far as possi-
BILE, is distributed throughout the va
rious camps and contains an eloquent
editorial by prominent public men,
there is the Gazette de rOise," which
appears three times a week, and is
published in Compiegne, or within
sound of the guns at scissors.
No censor-except a local military
censor-sits in judgment on its con-
tents. Its issue last Friday contained
a detailed description of the distribu-
ton of both French and German
forces, which. if authentic, would GER
tainly not have been permitted had
the paper been published in London
or Paris. 1t must obviously have been
in the Germans hands hot from the
machines.
A remarkable sheet produced at
DeIlemont, called the Democrat, prints
vivid stories of the fighting in Alsace.
It is extremely well informed, but it's
sphere of operations is confined to the
frontier.
Then there is the Poilu, with a daily
circulation of 10000 in the trenches
of the Champagne country. 1t has
several rivals. \ new paper, called
the Echo of the Shells. is to be seen
every five days 1t boasts that II has
mo special wire from Berlin"
Another of these journals. a sarcas-
tic little specimen, pokes fun at the
sameness of the food in the trenches.
says the cooks are thinking too much
of flying shells instead of attending
to their dishes. and runs an "a la
mode" column. in which 1t calls atten-
ton to the discovery that the best
way to avoid the mud is to get car
ried up and down the trenches in
chairs.

he could say he was remembered
in summer as we'll as in winter,
and nearly every day he carries
home in his buggy some of the
luscious fruits and berries from
farms on his routes. To tell how
generous his patrons are, he said
Il could nearly live on what they
give me-"
Nr. Barr says he expects to con-
tinue carrying mail as long as he
is able. He began as a carrier at
a salary of $4o per month. Now he
receives $98 per month. He has
never found fault with the men
higher up in the service, and be-
lieves that if the carrier does his
duty, increases in salary will
come regularly. Salary estimates
are based on the amount of mail
handled daily.
MIR. Barr draws as high a salary
as any other carrier in the county.
Ar. Barr is booster for good
roads, and believes that nothing
is more important in the develop
ment of the county than good
roads.

his work. 1t has not been drudg-

abundant, such as Minnesota,
the average is 7.2, whereas in
the South, where corn is much
used, the average is A bushels.
Normally about 3 per cent of the
corn crop is consumed as food.
Of our total crop about 80, 600, 900
bushels would be used for food,
the remainder for other purposes.
The remainder could be used for
foods and substitutes used for
animals. The potato production
in the United States averages 3.8
bushels per capita. This year the
available supply is Al bushels.
The average price of meat ami
mails was 7 per cent cheaper in
January than a year ago, butter
2 per cent lower, the price of
chickens slightly lower, of pota-
toes IS per cent lower, and of ap-
pies it was 81 per cent lower.
1t would seem that the United
States is not likely to be threat
ened with a shortage of food

A DEED AND A WORD

A little stream had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped well,
Where weary men might turn;
He walled it inland hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that all might drink.
He passed again and 10! the we'll,
BY summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues
And saved life beside.
A nameless man amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart
Let fall word of hope and love, .
Unstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath
It raised brother from the dust,
It saved soul from death,
o germ! O fount! o word of love!
o thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first
But mighty at the last.
