MACON. Mo. Nov 13.-There ar
rived In Beyier, Macon county. few
days ago. a thirteen-year-old French
lad, Lucian Buster by name, who was
nearly choked to death at the depot
by the warm arms of small man and
woman, his parents.
For three years this boy. who had
been separated from them during the
German advance across the French
frontier. had been given up as dead.
It was from near Lens, that city
so long the target for shot and shell.

of soldier dead. tha: he came. He
had seen it all. this lad Of ten-the
tramp of the men in gray. who swarm
ed like locusts into his country; hold
ing their chins high. their eyes smil-
ing mockingly at the uplifted hands OF
the poor French peasants along the
way. and their helmets flashing blood
red from the buildings they had burn
ed. He saw his father and his mother
and the little brood that he called
brothers and sisters swept from him
In that awful tide of invasion rolling
over the fair lands of France like an
angry ocean He saw the people who
had been the friends of his father and
mother. good quiet folk. who never
harmed a soul in the world, and whose
thoughts were only of those quiet
countryside affairs the same as with
the people of our own villages, kicked
and showed about as though they were
dog or swine, unfit to lift their eyes to
those whose place was in the sun.
Only ten years old he was, and yet he
saw things beyond The experience Of
most men who had lived their three

Boches Divide the Family
The German tide cut the family in
half Lucian and his grandparents
were left at Lens, the great French
coal town inside the eneny's lines.
The father and mother and little chs
dren were swept into France. and until
the American embassy got informa-
ton of Lucian recently he did not
know whether his folks were dead or
alive
Lucian said that his grandfather, a
man of seventy, and very feeble, was
forced to work In the mines from
O'Clock in the morning until 3 In the
afternoon, and that many other old
men were treated In the same way.
Every member of French household
was under orders not to leave the
yard after 4 o'clock in the afternoon
on penalty Of death. The order was
carried out with merciless precision,

Free Trade Tariff Commission.

1t Is rumored that the new tariff
commission Is contemplating trip
abroad in the near future. We are
confident that the rumor Is without
foundation.
1t is hardly probable that commits
sion appointed to investigate the vari-
GUS questions which enter into the
problem of manufactures or manufac-
turing In Europe and the Orient should
desire to cross the ocean at the pres
ent time when such an investigation
as congress requires Is manifestly i'm
possible.
No satisfactory investigation can
be made till the war ends and normal
conditions are fully restored and re-
established, and this may be some
years hence.
To say nothing about the dangers
attending such an expedition at pres
ent, the commission would be charged
with taking the journey for its own
pleasure and to crafty Its own curl
osity simply because 1t could be taken
at the public expense, with the knowl-
edge on the part Of the public that
no data Of any value can be obtained
now 1t would be difficult to answer
the charge.
For the credit Of the commission 1t
is hoped that the members will be con-
tent to draw their salary, which Is In
the nature Of godsend to the most OF
them, and take life easy. 1t will be

SPRING WORK WITH TURKEYS
Often Necessary to Hatch Eggs by In
eubator or Chicken hen-Plan
to Brood PouIts.

Turkey eggs are hatched with tur-
key hens, chicken hens and incubators.
During the early part of the laying
season there are often a number Of
eggs on hand that should be hatched
before any Of the turkeys finish laying
their first eggs and become broody.
When this occurs or when 1t is de-
sired to have the turkey hen lay more
than one litter, some of the eggs will
have to be Matched under a chicken
hen or in the incubator.
Before the poults are Matched, say
a week, turkey hens should be allowed
to take some Of the eggs that are incu-
bated. They can be given a few eggs
from the incubator or from under
chicken hens and allowed to hatch the
poults. Another plan is to slip a newly
hatched poult under a turkey hen at
night and by morning she will be glad
to take the whole brood.

1t Is not easy to distinguish the sex
of geese, especially Of the Toulouse

color but the gander Is somewhat
larger, has a larger head and carries
himself more erect. There Is an en-
barassing likeness between the male
and the female and out of the breed
ing season 1t is almost impossible to
distinguish them. The voice Of the
female is coarser than that of the
male, she is deeper in body, and

of the gander is loud and shrill while
that Of the goose is merely an answer

DUTIES ON GRAIN
Vital Matters With Which Con.
gress Has to Deal.
United States Has the Right and 10 In
Position to Demand That Question
o. Preferential Tariffs Shall
Be Settled at Once.

America is vitality interested In the
work OF the British imperial confer
ence recently held In London. Some Of
the matters dealt with by that confer
ence We're of confidential nature. but
the nature of others has been dis
closed. For example, 1t is known that
the conference passed resolution ap-
proving imperial preference. In the
matter of trade.
This means that the British isles
propose to give a preferential. or
lower, duty to grain imported from
Canada than on grain imported
from the United States. The British
Isles constitute the chief market for
our foodstuffs. But preference
for Canadian products would take
away hundreds of millions Of dollars
from the value Of our farms and trans
Ter that amount to the value of Cana
dian farms. Such a measure would
cause rush across the Canadian bOr-
of. Such measure would subsidize
every American industry with large
British trade to put up factories across
the border and employ Canadian, not
American, workmen on Its foreign or
ders.
Before this matter goes further our
state department at Washington should
see to 1t that the United States will be
treated by the British isles upon the
same basis as British colonies In this
matter of customs tariffs. That pro-
vision should be accepted by the Brit
fsh government now. at time when
that government is under obligations
which it deeply feels and which 1t Is
eager to discharge.
