LARGEST KITCHEN M WORLD

900 Entirely Destitute People.
LONDON.-The soup kitchen or
ganized in Brussels by the American
Commission for Relief is now un-
doubtedly the largest in the world.
Nearly $4,000 people entirely desti-

day, and over six thousand gallons
of soup and four thousand Kilograms
of bread are daily distributed to
them.
Unlike the bread lines have seen
in America" says a report from one
of the representatives in Brussels,
these are all people of one nation
atty and all with a common and un-
deserved misfortune. They are of all
classes, but we know none of them
save by number, because no matter
what their station or the extent of
their misfortune they still have
lamour propre and many of them,
if they were compelled to write their
names on coupons when they get the
soup would rather starve than take
it. None of them think that they
will always have to be in the bread
lines and everyone of them feels that
when it is all over they will want to
forget that they have been destitute.
1.-The soup for these pitiful fotsam
and jetsam of war is all prepared in
the large store houses of the Inter
national Express Company Van
Gand. More than one hundred peo-
pie are engaged in this work.
among them are former chefs Of
some of the leading hotels of Brus-
sells, who give directions as to the
kind and quality of the soup, its in
gradients and their proportions. I'm
der them are those who clean the
getables-potatoes carrots, beans,
etc-and prepare the meat This
entire staff is composd of volunteers,
except the chefs, who receive at the
most half a crown a day.
From 8 o'clock in the morning,
when the cooking of the first 5000
gallons of soup is started, the scene
in the circus-like store house of the
express. company is one of tremen-

twenty-one canteens scattered over

The Merchant Must Find
A Market For The Farmer
Pres Andrew NJ Soule Georgia State College of Agriculture

The merchant and the city man
haVS encouraged the farmer of the
South to diversity his crops. It would
now seem essential that they sid him
In finding a satisfactory market for
what he raises. While farmers of the
South cannot be expected to soon
raise, for instance, enough grain to
make 1t worth while to construct
warehouses and elevators, it would
seem possible for the merchants to
cooperate. grade and ship in carload
lots to the advantage of all parties
concerned,
Should a merchant feel that he does
not want to disturb his connection
with organizations that supply him
western hay and grain, he must then
cease doing business with the farmer
who has his diversified farm products
for sale, which he will hardly want to
do If the movement Is of any conse-
Quence In his community.
1t Is doubtless true that the farm
er does not know how to grade and
pack his products for the market. It
Will be impossible to teach him imme.

as has been suggested, the merchant
who takes the products may do the
grading and find it worth while. OF

produce that the Southern farmer
will have for sale, will be turned
over to the country merchant in ex-
change for goods. The merchant gets
profit off of his goods, of course,
and if he then will grade and pack
properly for the market, as he can
with several commodities, he will be
In position to make another profitable
transaction.
Much can be accomplished both In
aid of diversifcation and in market
ing. by boards Of trades OF towns
and cities. Why should they not
make a census Of the possible produce
for sale in a given trade radius, OBJ
tain the cooperation of merchants or
farmers for large shipments and di'
rect attention Of the large dealers to
the business to be obtained? Why
should trade organizations not system

about grading and marketing definite
crops suited to a given area?
The State College OF Agriculture has
the information, 1t Is perfectly willing
to do everything in its power. but Its
resources are. Of course, limited and
only through cooperation with local
organized agencies can 1t accomplish
the largest amount OF good. This Co
operation it welcomes to the end alone
that the College may do its educative

chased a pure bred pig six weeks old
for $3.50. He fed it $1025 worth OF

1t weighed 800 pounds. 1t took the
sweepstakes prize at the state

$4,000, which it is well worth.
On this basis his profit is $42.25. Be
sides this he won prizes and a schol-

We had an office boy. He came up
from Norfolk, Va. He had never done
a stroke of work in his life, and so
we undertook to train him. In three
months he was advanced to a posi-
ton of telephone operator. He learned
to run the typewriter and did neat
work. He learned to run the files.
He called up committees. He was
wanted to do thousand things day.
Every man was his boss, and with 1t
all he was invariably courteous,
cheerful, smiling and efficient. He
never spent any time fooling around,
he didn't play practical Jokes, he
didn't esteem himself to be the Office

essary to go back home, he left with
our very best wishes and honest re-
grets.
We asked him to set down certain
things for the use of his successor,
and among them we found two para

gems, and they apply not only to this
chamber of commerce, but to all

have had hand in training that boy,

PROTECTION FOR THE BIRDS
Blue Jay Devours Many Grasshoppers,
caterpilIars, Bugs, Weevils, Cut
Worms and Other Insects.

Some of our sweet song and in
sectiyorous birds threatened with ex-
tinction have at last found sanctuary
in Gods acres, in the City of Brother
ly Love, through the untiring efforts
of the Liberty Bell Bird club of the
Farm Journal, which has arranged
to install bird houses, feeding baskets
and bird baths In West Laurel Hill
cemetery in Philadelphia These will
be constructed after models most ap-
proved by bird families and arranged
in an artistic manner to beautify the
grounds. The richly colored plumage
of the happy songsters will add a bit
or brightness to the place of peace,
and it is hoped, their songs Of thanks
giving will uplift the heavy heart that
comes to mourn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bird are very particu-
lar tenants, according to the reports of
the many members of the Farm Jour.

while Mrs. Wren, or the Martins, will
look in upon new bird house built
with much care and decide not to take
it at all, or if they move in, they will
stay little while, then suddenly leave
without notice or apparent reason.
Some older members of the club
who are patient bird lovers and stu

dents like individuals, have decided
tastes in the matter of homes, which
must be catered to. It has been dis

What to Learn.

There are five things in life which
we ought to learn. Here they are:
l. Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine.
3. Learn how to. tell helpful story
A well-told story is as welcome as q
sunbeam in a sickroom.
3. Learn to keep your troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
linger over your ills and sorrows.
4. Learn to stop croaking. If you
cannot see any good in this world, keep
the bad to yourself
B. Learn to greet your friends with a
smile. They carry too many frowns
in their own hearts to be bothered with
any of yours.-Brooklyn Eagle.
