Mechanical Farm
 Working Proving
 Popular in France.

Paris, May 9.-The movement in favor of mechanical farming in France is assuming large proportions. Wherever trials have been made with traction ploughs they have been con- cIusive,l and cooperative societies of farmers have been formed to put them into use. A great many have been delivered during the past few months and a great many more have been ordered. The General Agrfc1JI- turaI Society is making a census Of different agricultural regions to de- terrnine in what localities it is pos sible to secure large tracts of land which the society will undertake to plough in the autumn, also to ascer- tain in what localities sufficient acre age of harvest can be combined to Justify the sending of traction har- vesters. The machines that the socf- ,ety sends for this work, it is intend ed to leave in the hands of the far mers individually or organized in CO., operative societies. The prospects for the development Of this kind of farming is such that it is proposed to organize a school for the training of farm traction drivers Thus far all the machines come from the Uni ted States. French industry will prob ably be unable to meet any consider able part of the demand for a few years to come.

london, May s.-The resignation of the Rev. pr. Edward Lyttleton from the post of Head Master of Eton school has been the sensation of the year in educational circles. pr. Lyt- tIeton belongs to the small set of in te1lectualS who are called sarcastical- ly e-treat-t1e-po -poor-German-k kind ly'' Class He has been$ at the head of Britain's most exclusive prepara- tory school for twelve years, is yet in the prime of fife, and might have held the position for some years long ser.
 But a few months ago Dr. Lyttle- ton preached a sermon in which he dwelt upon the desirability of an at- tftude of Christian charity and for g1veness toward the Germans. Inci- denta11y he advocated terms of set- clement of the war which would be designed to leave the Germans with out cause for rancor, and specified Canal neutral, Great Britain should do the same with Gibraltar, her key to the Mediterranean

No reason has been offered for his resig- nation, either by the Head Master, or by the governing body of the school.

VERDUN BATTLE
 AFTER IT DAYS, WAGED FIERCELY

Paris, May 9.-After seventy seven days of battle the Germans are making new attack before Verdun with an- other formidable army. Fighting al
 most equal in violence to that of the beginning of March is in progress on both banks of the Mouse. The prfn- cipal effort Of the Germans is being directed against Dead Man Hil1-
 Following the Napoleonic policy of attempting to turn what cannot be carried by frontal attack the Ger mans. with >aAWhole army corps, made the assault by way of the ravine be- tween Hill BOA and Dead Man Hill, see1xing to crush ir the French line along a frort of enc and "ene-half miles.
 The ground there is favorable for the attack and the French commander, aware of the weakness of the posi- tion, placed one of it's best trained ar my corps at that place. This corps disposed of the initial attack without ceding any important ground, but the battle is still raging and according to the latest advices the result will not be known till, some time to-day.
 East Of the Mouse the Germans de- 1ivered four attacks on a front of D. O0O yards, each advance being made by a different Prussian regiment. The fighting there is as fierce as on the other side of the river and as incon- elusive.
 General Nivi11e, whose promotion to the command at Verdun put him in charge at~such critical time, is a man of 60. He comes from Tulle, in the Correze department. General Niville is one of the discoveries of the war. At the outbreak of hostiIities he was in command of the first regiment of ar tiI1ery./ General JoffreA soon singled him out for a leading role. He was promoted to be general of brigade on Oct 24, 1914, and shortly after ward placed in command of the 9th first infantry division. On Decem- ben 23, 1915 he received his. three stars. and at the same time was ap- pointed commander of the third army corpS. a.N U

LABOR AND BUILDING COSTS.

The problem of supplying mex pensive homes for working people grows more difficult as labor and ma teria1 costs rise. Many owners say they get no satisfactory return, and the workingnan finds his rent high.
 One economy is the use of houses with shingIed walls. ~ In this way the heavy bill for house paint. including much labor and costly material, may be smaller than it was years ago in the days of painted aclapboards.
 Tenants are careless of wall paper, children decorate the walls to their hearts contest, and every new occu- pant wants fresh papers. Many land lords cut this cost by using interior finish of plaster and other materials in tasteful tintstdone over inexpensive ly.
 A good system of water supply and drainage is now demanded in many localities where once people lived in the simplest rustic manner. The plumber and all his minions are high 1y paid creatures, and Athey handle high cost material, to which their own satisfactory profit is added. These are costs that one can't reduce. It rarely pays to put in cheap work, which involves too many repairs bills. The upkeep of really good plumbing ought not to be very great.
 Houses holding two or more fam flies grow more popular as rents rise. There is economy, as one lot, one roof and one basem ent serves for two or more households. Many of these buildings are ugly, placed thick to- gether so as to constitute a, fire haz- ard, and to weaken interest in i'm provement of grounds. The owner should realize that an adequate lot and the beautifying of the same makes real estate more valuable. Thus in various. ways the problem of high rents is met to some extent, and the rented house may pay as good interest as other forms of property.
