PARIS, June 81. - American dags
were worn by a great many Of the
Partisan sewing girls during their re-
cent strike. Asked why they chose
the Star spangled Banner as the stand
ard of their revolt, one of them re-
plied: "Why because we demand the
'semaine anglaise' 1.-THE English week
with Saturday half holiday.
Then wouldn't the British flag ba
more appropriate" it was asked.
perhaps, but the 'drapeau etoile'
tthe stars and stripes) are much more
becoming"
That was real Rue de la Paix rea-
son, but there was another, entirely
unconnected with coquetry; it was the
new meaning the United States o.
America have acquired in France.
To the French common people In
general, who travel little and are not
very strong on geography, America
had long been country in the vague
distance, celebrated for its billionatres
and from whence long absent relations
returned with fabulous wealth to save
the financial situation Of their famt'
lies. The Uncle from America" be-
came legendary through popular fic'
titn and sentimental drama, George
Washington, Lincoln and wilson are
now taking his place in the French
mind.
France learned much about the Uni
ted States during the first two years
Of the war through American motor
ambulauces and hospitals, American
comforts ard relief of all kinds sent to
soldiers and civilian sufferers, and
through American tobacco of which
nearl yevery Dldier had a share. She
was all ready to pour out her heart to
America, which she has done freely
since the United States became her
ally.
No one in France has the advantage
Of the Partisan sewing girl or midi
nette," as they call her, in either SEN
timent or patriotism; no strike in the
French capital ever had so much SEN
timore mived with it; consequently
there was nothing more natural than
their choice of the colors of their new
ally:
Music dealers say that it was the
"midinettes" who helped most to ex-
haust the available supply Of Ameri-
can national airs in sheet music in the
first few days after the United States
declared war on Germany. The sew
ing girls could be seen during their
noon hour at certain street crossings
and up tranquil courts, gathered
around that old familiar institution OF
Paris, the street music vendor. With
a sheet Of words without music in
hand, they were learning French
translation of the "star Spangled Ban
ner" to the air played by the music
vendor on his violin. None Of the Par.
liamentary, Sorbonne, Academic or Of.
fetal functions, was a greater tribute
to the United States Of America.
Many Of Their can hum the "Star
Spangled Banner" Columbia is less

In its issue of last week the st.
Marys Oracle said: To-day DR.. Joseph
B. Watson dined on potatoes and peas
from his own garden, and so far as we
are aware, he is the first to be able
to do so in this section. The doctor
has one Of the finest gardens we have
seen, and his pea vines reach up to
height Of seven feet. If they grow
much higher he will have to harvest
with a stepladder."

This interesting agricultural note is
from the Buckhannon Delta: II. B.
Morgan and son planted over five
acres of potatoes this year, using 60
bushels of seed potatoes. Mr.. Nor
gan was one of the lucky farmers last
year He sold about $27O worth of pc.
tatoes, besides keeping 70 bushels for
seed and use. We hope he may be pro-
portionately lucky this year, but as
wet as it has been, we would call it
quite task to keep the grass and
weeds out Of that amount of potatoes"
The Charleston Leader the other
day printed the following: 81. A.
Hughes, Of st. Adams, has shown the
greatest increase in acreage Of any
farmer in Kanawha county yet on rec.
ord at the county agents office. The
amount he put in corn last year was
10 acres. He has increased this to 50
acres this year. His potato acreage
has been increased four times, and
he is raising five acres of soy BEANS"
