Of the United States and Of France ell
titled to as much respect as those Of
the mightiest empire. In defense Of
these principles, France is engaged In
death struggle with militant autoc-
racy and ruthless aggression, and 1t is
not surprising to learn that she has
loaned to her allies and to other friend.
ly states 7000,000,000 francs with which
to further the cause of democracy. Il
Is In keeping with Americas traditions
that since the date on which We for
mally aligned ourselves with France
and her allies In the great struggle, our
Government has lent to France $780,
100000.
1t is eminently fitting that America
should now be fighting on French soil
to make the world safe for democracy.
The liberty that America has enjoyed
for 140 years France helped her to
achieve The swords Of Lafayette and
Rochambeau, aided by the guns of De
Grasse upon the high seas, assisted In
cutting the foreign ties that bound the
American colonies prior to the War for
Independence, and from the private
purse Of King Louis himself came the
first loan to America unsecured and
unconditlonal-to finance that historic
undertaking. It was with entire just

Waste Ia Holding Hogs.

A loss of live weight of hogs
and waste of feed result from
the practice of purchasing local
hogs in small lots and holding
them in local stockyards until
a carload shipment is collected,
according to specialists Of the
United States Bureau of Markets.
They point out that at this and
other seasons when runs are
light, it often takes local buyers
four or five days to assemble
enough small lots for a carload.
As facilities for feed and water
ing are inferior in small yards,
the hogs made no further gains
on their feed and often suffer
actual loss of live weight. Local
buyers, therefore, would do well
to specify a certain day for the
delivery of lots from the various
farms and load and ship without
holding. Farmers also could
club together to make up cooper
ative carload shipments on regu.
lar week days, thus saving the
margin lost in individual small
lot selling.

say that, practically everyone

man was found who spread soil

seeding and left the soil IN the

Under such conditions, he would

Southern Crops Increase.

1t Is good news which comes
from Official sources that IN all
of the Southern States diversi6-
cation of crops has been prac
tised on an unprecedented scale
Corn enough to supply most Sec
tions was raised, beans are a
bumper crop and other vegetables
and fruits have done very we'll
1t seems likely that this coming
year VIII find the South making
few demands on the North for
food.
1t has been one Of the anomalies
of our history that for more than
a century the South has bought
It's food supplies from the North;
that with rich land at its doors,
with much Of the land unutllized,
it has insisted on raising cotton
alone and sending the money
North. The economic lndepen
dence Of the South will never
come until it feeds itself. 1hlt
day seems at hand
At the same time the South
has a crop of cotton worth more
thar 81. 800, 900, 900 IN cash with
the world begging for 1t. Such a
sum ought TO make the South
rich if properly invested. News
from the South Is that In unpre-
cedented scale the negroes are
now buying the cotton patches
which they have titled as renters
for fifty years. 1t was long the
custom of the landlord to keep
the negro patcher IN debt, but
high prices Of cotton for two
years are making the negro &C.
onomicAlly independent, and IN
proportion as he gets possession
of the land he ls going to get
recognition.

Oar Food Saving Army.

There are 2,546, 900 women in
Pennsylvania above the age Of
fifteen wears actively engaged IN
home making duties and they are
beng enlisted IN the fight for
democracy. Last July 100000
pledged themselves to aid in the
conservation of food. Today In
every city and town and in the
remote country districts school
children are making a second
canvass to obtain the written
word of the women that they
will save food.
Just as the soldiers IN the
trenches are battling against
Prusslanism so the housewives
of Pennsylvania are organizing
for VIC ory. The boys and girls
who spread the alarm through
city street and country lane are
the Paul Reveres of 1917. 1t Is
expected that more than mil
lion women IN Pennsylvania will
have signed the Hoover pledge
card by the close of the cam
pa,gn. The Pennsylvania Pub
lie Safety Food department office
In Philadelphia has set a million
as the mark and from the reports
that have been coming in from
many counties this figure may
be exceeded 1t has been esti-
mated IN Washington. d. @,
that If the people Of the United
States systematically consumed
less meat and wheat each week
there would be a saving OF two
billion, two hundred and twenty
m llion pounds of each annually.

The increasing activity Of her raft
way system Is similarly demonstrable.
In 1869, there were In France 10,743
miles of railroad track; In 1912, thers
were 31,548 miles.
Between 1869 and 1912, inland navi-
cation increased 1900; while the traffic
Of her mercantile marine had amazing
ly expanded. The tonnage entering
French ports In 1869 Is set down as
100000 tons. In 1912, this had been
increased to 53,O00,000 tons.
Leaders In American finance ascribe
the solidarity of the French republic to
three influences: first, q thoroughly
sound banking system, centralized In
one Of the greatest banking institutions
of the world, the Bank Of France; Sec
ond, the ingrained thrift and frugality
Of the French people as whole, to-
gether with q national economic vigor
not elsewhere surpassed; third, wise su-
pervision, and patriotic cooperation BY
the government with banking and busi-
ness interests.
The government does Its part to war
rant and retain the confidence Of the
holders Of It's securities. One Of Its
wise policies Is to impose new taxes to
defray the Interest charges OH new SO
curity issues. 1t began this practice
after the Franco-Prussian War, and 10
today following the same rule In regard
to securities issued to finance the pres
ent conflict. This continuity Of pur-
pose. doubtless, will prove reassuring
to all holders of French government
securities.
The -Prussian waS Of 1870
1871 taught the French people the
meaning of thrift and economy. 30
well did they learn this lesson, that
the whole sum of the indemnity de-
manded by Germany, $1,OOO,OO0,OO0,
was raised within the republics con-

ExTERMINATiNa FARM PESTS.

During the past year over 100000
acres Of government and public lands
have been covered with poisoned
grain for the determination Of
ground squirrels. Large areas Of
private agricultural land also have
been cleared of these pests through
campaigns conducted by the owners
under the direction of representa-
tives Of the biological survey. Op-
erations have been continued effec-
lively against prairie dogs, and over
100000 acres have been practically
cleared of these destructive animals.
Improvements which have been made
by the bureau in methods of exter-
minating prairie dogs have encour-
aged large numbers of farmers to de-
stroy them on their lands.

Of Industrial activity that will be re-
Quired and that is in part already
planned, offer peculiarly inviting
field to American capital and enter
prise. Tentative steps have already
been taken by representatives Of Amer
lean engineers and business men In this
work.
Aside from its attractive business
aspect, the enlistment Of American
money and effort In the great task of
reconstructio that will remain at the
end of the war will tend to cement still
more closely the ties that bind the two
great Republics together, and will en-
able Americans to discharge in part
the debt they owe to France for her
friendly interest In the welfare and
progress Of the United States from
the beginning of Its life as ma
ton.
In judging the Industrial status of
any nation, its production and con-
sumption Of coal, iron, and steel and
the growth of Its transportation sys.
TENS are highly significant factors.
In 1860, French industries consumed
21 million tons Of coal, Of which 1875
millions were taken from home mines
In 1912, the consumption was 81 mil.
lions, OF which Al million tons were
taken from home mines.
In 1869, the French output Of cast
iron was 1,8s0000 tons, and Of steel,
100000 tons. In 1914, France pro.
