GIVE ALL TO FRANCE
Rich and Poor Turn Over Hoard
ed Treasure.
psddler and seamssress Lead Great
Line Of Patriots Bringing Gold 70
Maintain Nation's Credit
and Defense.

Paris.--Since the Bank Of France
opened special counters In Paris to
receive the peoples boarded gold q
few days ago the yellow coins have
continued to fow in an uninterrupted
stream. Depositors exchanged gold
for bank notes In the first four days
In Paris to the extent of $3000,000. No
reports from the provinces have been
made out.
Capitalists went to the bank In au.
tomobiles, taking little bags Of gold
to strengthen the credit Of France and
help In the national defense. In the
early morning hours working men and
small employers hurried In on the way
70 their labor to hand in their jeal-
ously preserved savings.
First to respond to the cail for
more gold were street lemonade
seller who brought two napoleons
wrapped In q big rag, and a little
seamstress, who proudly gave her soli.
tary coin.
All who take gold to the bank getl
In return q receipt slip as souvenir,
saying for their country's sake theyI
have parted with their treasure.
In addition to equivalent value iHl
paper money the Bank Of France can
issue legally three bank bills Of $29I
for every $40 in gold When Financed
Minister Ribot asked the governor oil
the Bank of France to open special
gold-receiving Offices In Paris and its
provincial branches M. Pallain already
had taken steps to this end.
Inquiries in many competent quar-
ters have led to the estimate that gold
money held privately In France
amounts to $7O0,000.0o or nearly
$S0.O00.o00 less than the total gold re-
serve now at the Bank Of France.
Few Of the depositors say: Il wish
TO exchange gold" or, Il wish to pay
In gold" All make the simple re.
mark: Il bring gold"
Rich and poor alike are conscious
they are taking gold. not to the bank.
but for France.
It would be q mistake for the public
to imagine that It is making sacrf-
foe in exchanging gold for notes, since
the gold lis unemployed and therefore
Improbable. The bank is naturally
anxious to keep as large reserve as
possible SO as to maintain fully the
credit of Its paper Issues and at the
same time enable the government to
pay for supplies from abroad in gold.
Another reason why the government
wishes the nations gold to be held In
the strong hands of the bank is to pre-
vent It from being withdrawn pri-
vately under false pretenses to find its
way to the enemy by trickery. Ger
many and Austria are In desperate
straits financially, and are ready to
adopt the most deceitful practices to
get gold.

Green Manure.

Our soil needs manure more
than any other fertilizer. Even
in the swamps where the lumber
man has cleared up a small patch
the same thing is true. Where
garden or farm crops are grown
on these small clearings, the
place where a shed, or barn, has
stood. is always outstanding.
But Southeast Missouri does
not now have enough live stock
to supply enough manure to pro-
perly cover her land. Green
manure is the best thing to use
until we get stock. Peas are
more often used for this purpose
than any other crop because Of
their rank growth and because
they add nitrogen to the soil.
Any rank growth adds humus.
Even weeds have considerable
value and a heavy growth should
be plowed under.
One think we lack for this work
is better plows. 1t may be some
farmer can turn under tangled
pea vines, or weeds, as high as
the horses backs with the ordi-
nary walking pillow, but not many
do so. A sulky pillow is the best
thing to tackle such 3 JOB with,
and | am afraid we will continue
to burn much valuable humus
until we get better pows.

How To Can Beans For
Winter Use.


Green Beans, which are &C
plentiful at present, may be can
med easily. Canned beans form
q pleasant addition to the winte I
diet.
| The home economics depart
ment Of the University Of Mis-
souri mt Columbia tells how ia
can beans. In preparation, wash
and string the beans as If fol
immediate use. Next pack them
in jars as tightly as possible,
covering with water and adding
q teAspoonful Of salt to each
quarts Put on the rubbers and
tops, adjusting loosely, then
place on rack Of some sort or
layer Of straw in the bottom Of
boiler and cover with clean water.
Boil for two hours, counting from
the time the water begins to boil
Remove from the water and seal
Immediately.
The best jar for this purpose
is one that fastens with a wire
spring. In using this style OF
jar, the glass tops are put in
place, held on loosely with the
wire passing over the top. Af-
tier removing from the hot water
the wire spring is tightened, thus
sea.ingsthe Jar. The reason fol
sealing while hot is that steam,
not air, be contained in the jar,
This steam condenses when the
jar cools and leaves a vacuum
which holds on the top OF the jar
The jar should be tested from,
day 70 date by releasing the
spring. You should be able to
lift the weight of the Jar by the
glass top. If the top loosens
when this is tried. then the seal
ing is imperfect or the contents
of the jar is spelling. II the
spelling has not gone too far, the
contents of .he jar can be rester.

Build Silos To Save I'M
mature Corn.
By M. A. r. KELLEY.

The lateness OF planting, the
slow growing season, and heavy
rains, all point toward a large
percentage Of immature corn this
fall. What are you going to do
with your soft corn? Are you
prepared to ''can it"?
The live stock farmer can pro.
fitably utilize this soft corn by
putting it in q silo. The silo Is
an investment which pays high
interest on the live stock farm.
The man who has no clio will
have to do the best he can.
Now is the time to build while
the silo filing season is several
weeks distant. A silo to be sue.
cessful must be air tight, the
walls smooth, and strong enough
to Withstand the outward PRES
sure of silage. A silo that meets
these requirements will be sue
eessful regardless of the mater
ial with which it is built.
Bulletin 1873 and other publica-
tions on silos and silage by the
Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Columbia con-
tain valuable hints on silos and
the use of silage. Free plans
and instructions for building con-
crete silos can also be obtained.
A man will be sent to help start
the silo, where the farmer desir.
es and is willing to pay his trav-
cling expenses.
