AN IMPORTANT WORK.
Plans Being Made for Distribution of
Immigrants After War.

The suggestion recently was made
to officials in Washington that some
organized effort should be made by
the government to distribute the i'm
migrants who come to this country
after the war in Europe, says Thomas
F. Logan, in Leslie's. 1t was point
ed out that there are large number
of farms in Vermont and New Hamp-
shire and other Eastern States, as
we'll as many other sections, and es-
pecially in the South and on the Pa
cific coast, which are now vacant or
can be bought on easy terms. This
is a large factor in the development
of the financial prosperity of the
United States, and with the popula-
tion growing so steadily, with con-
sumers increasing and agricultural
producers decreasing, it is about the
only practical plan for the reduction
of the cost of living. Commissioner
Caminetti, of the bureau of immigra-
ton, said recently that to facilitate
settlements of this kind, the new
farm loan system will be helpful.
Authority was recently vested in the
bureau to promote the distribution
of laborers and Settlers upon lands.
Efforts are being made to evolve a
practical system of farm colonization
and to enlist the cooperation of the
individual States. The States are be-
ing asked to reserve lands to solve
the problem of immigrant distribu-
ton. Commissioner Caminetti has
been working with Secretary Wilson
of the department of labor and Sec
retary Lane, of the department of the
interior, to develop practical plan
for the distribution of immigrants.

Alabama Mules in Europe.

The Age-Herald says 10000 mules
and horses have been shipped from
Birmingham to Europe for service in
the war. Birmingham has received
over 81 100000 from this traffic. 1t
is estimated that upwards of 100000
mules and horses have gone from this
country to Europe. Over s100,O00,-
600 have been involved in the sales
of these animals.
The mule that goes to the war will
live about two weeks on an average
In 1915 there were about 25,000,-
900 mules and horses in this coun-
try; there were less than 100000
mules. For several years mules and
horses have been expensive. They
have been so costly in fact that even
in times of peace it was considered
sound economics to raise mule colts
and horses for sale.
It's a mighty poor mule that
brings less than 5000 on the market
And it doesn't cost much to raise q
few colts. Prices in future will be
very high.
Can't you find room for the advent
of colt or two year on your farm

WORTHY OF APPRECIATION.
Help the Man Who Shows He De-
serves 1t.

The November Woman's Home
Companion prints an editorial about
man who wrote letter praising a
young railroad man. 1t says:
A busy New York man returned
last summer from his country home
The station agent in that little coun-
try town had been particularly help
full to him. in caring for his trunks
and arranging for the comfort of his
family.
The New York man was grateful
to the station agent. He told him So
He wondered, as he rode along what
chance the young fellow had in that
country station. Would any officer
of the road ever pass that way?
Would the lads willingness and ef-
fiGency ever gain him reward?
when he reached his office he
wrote letter to the president of that
railroad. I want to congratulate
you on the young man who repre-
sents you at Smithton,' he said; he
is courteous and intelligent, and the
good will that he secures for your
road in that section is worth real
money to you. He is a young chap
worth watching.'
"A little thing it was. The cost
was only few minutes of stenog-
rapher's time and a 2-cent stamp,
Yet that letter stood out like dia-
mond on the presidents desk amid
the bundle of querulous complaints,
1t frightened the day in that big Of
fee. 1t may have changed the whole
career of the young chap in the coun-
try depot"

UNUSUAL HAPPENING.
How a Tiny Screw Held Up a Great
City'S Business.

How a Tiny Screw HELD Up orea'
City's Business.
A diminutive screw worked loose
in one of the big steel safes in the
treasury department of Cincinnati
recently, and dropped into the
mechanism operating the combina-
ton. Thereafter there was trouble,
says the Popular Science Monthly for
November. The screw took it's tum-
Bile on a Thursday night and it was
not until the following Tuesday that
the safe was opened. On Friday
morning, when 500 people were
standing in line waiting for $4,000
in pay envelopes reposing behind six
teen inches of steel, the paymaster
discovered that something was
wrong. He asked the people to wait
until he found Jimmy Valentine.
After several men who admitted
that they knew uncanny things about
opening safes were tested out, the
big safe was just as obdurate as
ever, and the line of watchful wait
ing ones was dismissed.
Friday night the safe was ordered
drilled open. A crew of four men
worked from that time until Tuesday
morning before they undid the mis-
chief caused by that one little screw
when it dropped out of its allotted
place. The additional work cost the
city SIS, besides the patience of 500
citizens.

French Farm Products.

1t has been great problem of the
war how to cultivate the farms of
France. The valley of the Loire is
the very garden of France, with its
long strips of ploughed land sown in
wheat, oats, luzerne, Indian corn for
fodder, or planted with vines or beets
or other vegetables, sparingly with
potatoes, for the soil is too good. I
drove back twenty-five miles through
the Beauce, the lond of vast wheat
fields reaching golden to the horizon.
It was harvest time, and it seemed to
me there was more than the usual
proportion of women handling the
sheaves. Old men and boys are do
ing more than the work of their age.
Gen. Joffre has seen to it that, so far
as the military situation allows, SOL
diers should be sent back to aid in
the harvest, and there have been
workmen imported from North Afri-
ca. And an attempt has been made
to use the help of German prisoners,
but they seem to have left their ef-
fciency behind them in their own
country. When the treatment Of
prisoners is investigated at the end
of the war it will be found that the
French have carried their courtesy
even into their relations with cap
tured enemies.
The sum of the present matter Is
that France, agricultural France, is
keeping up her intensive cultivation
in spite of the strain of war. 1t Is
this which has made France in ordi-
nary years self-suficient in wheat
and most other grain. An American
may surely add that, where the loose
ly cultivated, but less worn, fields OF
his own country yield seventeen BUSH
els to the acre, thi, French soil, worn
with crops for a thousand years, but
cultivated like a garden, gives twen-
ty-three bushels. French peasants
were always quick to profit by ex-
perience and infinitely patient in
their individual labor at their land,
but this triumph of intensive culti-
vation is scientific as well. The in
crease in the yield of French wheat
fields since government aided in
spreading these scientific methods
has often been as much as third.
All this will tell for the recovery
of France from the losses and waste
of war, and it should tell for the con-
tinued .good name of France. If
French peasants had not been good
farmers before the war, willing to
learn as well as to labor, they would
not now be such good soldiers. All
the world knows now how they fight,
but fear many Americans have very
little idea how they farm.
This peasant population of France
numbers something over IA 100000
adults. More peasant men in pro-
portion are fighting than townsmeni
are, for it is the latter who have to
furnish hands for the war munitions
factories. So, too, more peasant
women are doing mems work in these
harvest fields than there are towns
women working in war factories.-
