WHAT FRANCE HAS REGAINED

(Nationa Geographic Society,"
 Roughly measured, the territory regained from the Germans in France exceeds 2,500 square miles. or considerably more than the area of the State of Deleware. Its popu- latSSn before the war was in the neighborhood of half a million.
 Within the redeemed area are sope of the most interesting places in France, notably Reims, the place of coronation for most of the kings of France since the beginning of the Capetian dynasty. The most famous ceremony of this character to take place here was the anoint- ing of Charles VII, after Joan of Arc had driven the English from before the city walls. It was here. too, that Clovis was baptized on Christmas day, in 496. Before the devastation wrought by the present war the great Reims cathedral was considered by many. critics of archi- lecture the most beautiful structure produced during the Middle Ages.
 Amiens, with population of 90,- 600 before the war, is next in im- portance among the salvaged cities. Its cathedral, one of the most im- posing piles of thirteenth century architecture in Europe, was scarcely less famous than the one at Reims. It was in this city that Peter, the Hermit, the great preacher of the first crusade, was born. Since the war the city's noted woolen, silk. cashmere and velvet manufactures have suffered greatly.
 Arras, also reclaimed, was noted for it's woolen manufactures before the war. In medieval days it's ta- pestry hangings were so famous that the name of the city was ad- opted as common noun for drap- cries in England. Robespierre, the revolutionist, was born in Arras.

Country Gentleman.l
 We grow in these United States of ours at the rate of 4,433 folks day. Think of it, ye descendants of the Mayflower pilgrims--enough new Americans every day to have crowded the passenger list of an armada of Mayfowers! And think of it also, ye raisers of dairy cat tile and ye growers of foodstufTS-- every week brings more than, 3o,- 900 new mouths to feed.
 We are appalled, at the slaughter of regiments and divisions on the European battlefields. We hear of statesmen bewailing the possibil- ities of race suicide. But how little heed do we pay to the tremendous natural increment of races of man. kind. 'Tis worth sober reflection. this constant growth of ours, worth the pondering of every producer of food or other products. Our vast markets are growing faster by the day-by the hour for that matter. And our marketing, problems are ever growing more complex and de- manding closer study
 "Stop, Look and Listen" signs do very we'll for railroad crossings, but they have little other value for pro- gressive mankind. We are growing too fast. A few years hence our growth will be at the rate of 1O,- 900 day. It will be as if little showers of hamlets and villages rained down constantly from the sky. The newcomers must all be fed and clothed. Thes farmer iS the producer of the raw materials. He. must follow closely our growth. speculate on it. prepare for it by progressive measures, keep abreast of all the live things that are do- ing. If he does not he will be left at the post.

If they are by any chaHce to be
brought into competition with the de-
gree team of the Richmond Aerie of
Eagles, which put on the initiatory
work at the auditorium last night. For
brilliant and dazzling formations in

won many rounds of applause, as in
deed did the Muncie team in the after
noon. The Richmond team consisted

arel Enough revenue-most con-
servatively estimated-from 100 hens,
two cows and two sows to pay for
everything that Mississippi has to pay
Tor, with cotton money, from other
states.
Possibly some planter who will read
this article, win say: "Oh, well al
ready have the chickens, cows and
hogs-so | will let my neighbor do
this" Now, that system won't work.
To get the ss5, ,s6s, 600 total for the
state, every farmer in the state must
add 100 hens, two dairy cows and two
brood sows to his farm. And every
farmer who has neither of the necessi-
ties on his farm, must put them there.
The climate figures given in this story
have been placed so low that there
should be enough excess production OF
eggs, milk, butter and pork to abun-
dainty supply the family on the farm.
II not, however, the s35s.2O derived
from the sale of the products will buy
everything necessary, practically
and the cotton crop will be strictly a
cash crop, and every cent Of it can be
put In the bank at good interest.
Do this Mr.. Planter-big and little.
IL you already have some chickens
hogs and cows on your place probab-
ly you. have-add more. Take no
chances with big cotton crop this
year. You had better care for your
self. And You can't do this with an

mostly cotton, farming is decreasing
