AUSTRIAN CHILDREN
TRAINED AS FARMERS
All Between Twelve and Four
teen Years Quit School.

Venice, Italy.-AdviceS from Vienna
disclose that next to her efforts in the
field Of war Austria Hungary is now
devoting her greatest energies to agri-
culture. An announcement put out by
the government on the subject of labor
says:
IF we can obtain sufficient labor the
next harvest is assured"
The war having robbed the country
of most Of its ablebodied men, tens of
thousands of boys and girls have been
released from the schools, and, togeth-
er with the married women, they are
being pressed into service. By a spe,
cial decree of the Austrian ministry all
children between twelve and fourteen
years Of age are excused from school
work, and this host of child labor is
being organized Systematically like an
army. The older boys are acting as Of
ficers. The purpose is to send these
young people out into the fields in or
der to obtain the best possible results
in the agricultural regions where labor
is most needed.
Certain peasant laDOTerS IN the aSrl-
cultural regions where labor is most
needed and not serving in the army
have been unwilling to work at the old
wages. They demanded higher pay.
This made necessary legislation where
by they are now being compelled to
labor at the old wages.
1t is alleged in both Vienna and Blu
dapest that any refugees from Galicia
who have money are employing their
funds in speculation in foodstuffs. Not
only are the people indignant, but the
authoriti IS as we'll. Exploiting the ne
cessities of the small storekeepers and
the consuming public is regarded as
poor return for the shelter and hOspi-
tality offered to the. tens of thousands
Of the half starved fellow countrymen
of these Ga!icianS

JAP is POTATO KING.
Denied Credit a Few Years Ago, He
Now Ranks as a Capitalist.

Lodi, Cal.-Reading a story Of the
visit of George Shima, the potato king
Of this section. to Los Angeles in pa
per of that city, merchants of Lodi re-
call that not many years ago the Jap
anese capitalist could not obtain credit
in the stores of this city, not because
he was not honest. but as q newcomer
he had not established credit.
Those business men who refused to
trust did not anticipate that in a few
years Shima would control $1,000
acres in California and have 5000 acres
in his own holdings and have estab-
lished a large credit in California
banks.
Last July Shima owned about quar-
ter of the 100000 sacks of potatoes in
California, and today he owns half Of
the 100000 sacks unsold in the state.

Weak on Geography.

Geography floors most of us occa-
sionally, and Dean Hole has recorded
an instance when even a bishop nod
ded. Hole and Dean Spence were
staying with Dean Pigou at Chiches-
fer, and their host began to talk about
Korea. Suspecting some ignorance, he
asked if they knew where it was.
Hole said ne thought you booked for
Charing Cross and Spence that you got
out at Baker street. There was laugh
ter, and bishop who had been listen
ing asked in perpleXity wherein lay the
jOke-London Standard.

Letters to His Wife Tells of Being
Awarded an Iron Cross.
Frankfort.-A young peasant from a
Baden village has fought in the war
from the very beginning and was final
~ in Flanders, says a dispatch to the
Frankfort Gazette. In three months
he has written two letters. The first
read:
Dear Wife-I am still alive, and l receiv-
ed the package. If the boy is bad whip
him. Greetir gs. ADOLPH
The second did not differ much from
the first:
Dear Bertha-I am still alive, which sur
prises me very much. If the boy is still
bad whip him again. Greetings,
ADoLPH.
A few days ago a photograph came
from a hospital in Heidelberg. On it
the young wife saw her husband with
a number of others, and on his breast
was the iron cross. On the back Of
the picture was written:
Dear Bertha-I was wounded. Am well
again. Tomorrow I'm off. If the boy is
bad take him by the ears. Greetings,
ADOLPH.
His wife wrote him asking him to
at least let her know how he had re-
ceived the iron cross. He replied:
That business of the iron cross was very
simple. The major called me. l had to
stand still and the sergeant pinned it on.
Greetings, ADOLPH.

strange condition of poverty in which
he lived even after he had won fame.

especially as to deaths among our
people. We have regularly been met
with the answer that there were sever
al dead ones not quite ripe for burial.
We have not dared print the answer
for fear someone might be mad. The
lecturer at the tent on Tuesday after.
had not been buried and had therefore
done nothing worth while for their
town. and everybody applauded. That
gives US courage to make our belated
announcement that there are several

LOVE AT SEA.

Where shall we land you, sweet?
On fields Of strange mems feet,
Or fields near home?
Or where the fire flowers blow?
Or where the flowers of snow
Or flowers of foam?
We are in loves hand today.
Land me, she says, where love
Shows but one shaft, one dove,
One heart, one hand.
A shore like that, my dear,
Lies where no man will steer,
No maiden land.
