TO TILL ALL FRENCH SOIL
Government VIII BE Farmer, as Every
Parcel of Ground Must Be
Cultivated.

The cultivation of every parcel OF
land in France to assure the maxi
mum agricultural production is the
aim of the French government, and
to bring this about the government
itself will act, says an exchange. A
bill has been prepared under the d.
rection of Jules Meline, minister OF
agriculture, requesting the owners
of uncultivated land to begin tillage
within two weeks after notice, which
will be given by registered letter.
If land is not cultivated within the.
time, specified, the bill provides that
mayors of communities have the
right to requisition the ground and
order its cultivation, which will be
carried on under the direction Of
town committees, the towns to assure
the funds necessary to carry on this
work The bill further provides ford
municipal or an agricultural COM
mittee to supervise the cultivation of
such land until the time comes to
harvest the crop, which will be sold
under its direction.
Minister Meline in a statement ac-
companying the bill says that there
has been a deficit in grains Of 10 per
cent in 1915, as compared with 1914.
He declares that there is not min
ute to be lost if France does not want
to be surprised by developments and
exposed to the possibility of arriving
too late on the economic battlefield.
A supply of farm help, he explains,
can be assured under special ar
rangement with the military authori-
ties who can call on auxiliary troops
and soldiers unfit for military duty.

JohnsOn'S Curfew Law
To the Citizens Of johnson:

| 10 the ClttZenS o. johnson:
have found that there is a great mis-
| conception of the so-called 'curfew law. :"
Few people seem to have a clear idea as
| to just what the provisions are; and the
greatest misunderstanding of all seems
to be in regard to the phrase, "loiter
about the streets or public places of the
town.
The regulation does not forbid children
going on errapds, going to entertain
ments, or going visiting, with or without
parental control. 1t only forbids ordi-
nary 'loafng'' about the streets and pub
lie places. thing which the officer in
charge will find apparent and easy to de-
tect. The whole thing is not ideal, but
we have tried TO formulate a regulation
that takes away no liberties which either
child or parent should have, and at the
same time, regulation which removes
the worst of the evils involved. Whether
or not it will be success, only fair
trial will show.
The regulation applies only to children
under 10 years of age, not under parental
control at the time of the offense; it does
not go into effect until April l, 1916; and
the rest. including the selection of
proper officer, is entirely in the hands of
your school directors.
IL seems necessary Jnat the town
should take definite stand in some OF
these matters, for the time is coming
when we must make an adequate guar
antee to the parents of out-of- town stu
dents or we will not get the students--or
at least not deserve them.
Truly yours,
III. II. DAVIS,
Principal of High School.

Fl. Madison Gem City: The cree

neers Keator and Maxwell Of the Mis-

power company officials, however,
lacking enthusiasm in tho susges-

concessions In the argu-
ments that strengthened the chances
of the city in securing the demands.

on the cost of erecting a
pumping station and trunk sewer,
which he will present to the city
council in meeting March IS. An en-

COURT ABSOLVES ROCK
ISLAND DIRECTORS
Judge Mayer Of United States District
Cour Gives Important Rock
Island Decision.

In the United States district court
in New York City, February 21, Judge
julius Mayer handed down an order
authorizing Walther C. Noyes, as re-
ceiver Of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific railroad company. to settle
and compromise all the claims of the
receiver and the railroad company
against the directors for $3.50, 900,
paid by Daniel G.. Reid and William II.
Moore. The order Is the result Of a
petition by Judge Moves, as receiver,
by the affidavit of Charles
E. Rushmcre, counsel to the receiver.
The chief claims asserted were that
the purchase of the Frisco system was
a violation of the Sherman act and re-
suited In a great loss to the railroad
company and that dividends had been
paid out Of current earnings when the
capital Of the company was impaired
by the sale Of the Frisco stock. The
affidavit Of MIR. Rushmore. supporting
Judge Noyes' petition for leave to set
tie. stated the abelief of the receiver
and his counsel that the receiver could
not successfully litigate the claim and
that no liability could be successfully
asserted against either Reid or Moore.
The defenses Of Messrs. Reid and
Moore and the other directors have
thus received the sanction Of the court,
and thew are absolved from all liabil-
ity. to either the receiver, the COM
pany, the stockholders, or creditors.

SOCIAL WORK BUSINESS
This is Not Charity In OLD Sense OF
the Word, But Charity Which
Fits Present Day
Conditions.

Social work such as the United
Charities is doing is not a charity in
the old meaning of the word but is a
business affecting every taxpayer in
Lee county, although combining itself
to the poor and needy Of Keokuk.
There was a time when each individ-
Of a community knew every other
individual and the needs Of organized
efforts in behalf Of the poor and un-
fortunate we're not so great. But to-
day when each is struggling to get
ahead in this world and collect all OF
its goods possible, it Is necessary that
some organization take UP the burden
OF the unsuccessful, r~eadjusting them
to the changed conditions.
The most expensive thing a COM
munity can do is to allow it's unfor-
Inmates to remain so, Its poor to re-
main poor, and It's weak to remain
unprotected from themselves, their
surroundings and the emotional citi-
zens Of a community. Poverty is an
unnatural condition and like It's BY
products vice and crime must be up
rooted and destroyed. Lee county is
spending more on its POOR, insane,
feeble minded, families OF INDECENT
soldiers. and criminal than on its
training of the young in public schools.
If this money was being expended in
preventive and constructive charity,
there could be no objections but go
long as almost none Of it o for
that work, it is money wasted.
The work of the United Charities is
not so much relieving distress, al
though it does a great deal of that, as
is the cure and prevention Of poverty.
To relieve distress wisely SO as not to
create greater suffering is difficult,
and in an unorganized community,
Sanitation and housing
are some OF the larger measures taken
UP by organized charity.
The city has paid men to bring In
factories and new industries which
are greatly needed and mean renewed
life for any city, but 1t has not cen it's
way clear to support in part an organ
i2ation building up the lives Of the
under fellows. All the United Char
tiles ask is your voluntary support.
