The Poor (?) Farmer.

Just because the farmer has great pro-
poets for big crop this year some wag
has penned the following on the "Poor
Farmer" "Sells his rye for dollar
ten. Gosh, I pity the farmer! Gets one
dollar for one dead hen. Gosh, I pity
the farmer! Wheat is bringing one fifty
four; travelling fast and may bring
more. Fresh eggs, thirty cents at the
hogs he gets twelve cents pound. Gosh b,
l pity the farmer! Apples high priced if
they are sound. Gosh, 1 pity the farm
er! Hay sixteen bones ton, other
prices upward run; times his own.
Gosh, l pity the farmer! Gets his paper
each week day; drives an auto-canned
the shay; beyond the reach of the cab
aret. Gosh, 1 pity the farmer.'

CHALMERS PUTS UP RECORD

With a spedometer record of 90,
OOO miles to their credit. Wirr M.
Cressy and his wife, Blanche Dayne,
famous artists Of the two-a-day cir
cult, claim the American laurels for
sustained touring in single mach
inc.
Back in 1908 Cressy was playing
Detroit vaudeville theatre. He
visited the Chalmers factory and
purchased one of the first Chalmers
3Vs turned out by that company.
In the past nine years the Cressys
have toured six times across the
United States from coast to coast,
and four times from the Canadian
boundary to the Rio Grande. They
have piloted the travel-worn Chal-
mers through England, Scotland,
Wales, Ireland, France, Belgium,
Holland, across Russia by train,
shipping the car, through Japan,
Manchuria, Formosa, China, the
PHILIPPINE Islands, Completely cover
ing Mexico and much of Canada.
Many motorists have asked me
how we could do it and what sort
OF car would stand such trips"
said MIR. Cressy in a recent inter-
view. Zone of the explanations is
that l am an expert mechanic and
before became player, was con-
sldeded one of the best mechanics
and engineers in New England. In
addition, we possessed one of the
sturdlest cars ever turned out by an
American factory.

GENERAL JOFFRE'S MESSAGE TO
PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED
STATES.
ADDRESS TO NEWSPAPERMEN
France Is Eager to See Old Glory o,
the Line of Batte-Hasten End
of War-Favors American Of
ficers to Train Our Men.

Washington. Marshal Joffre told
the people of America Sunday through
Washington newspaper correspond
ents who called upon him that France
cherishes the confident hope that the
flag of the United States soon will
be flying on her battle lines.
The marshal, replying to questions
said he deemed it advisable to send
one American unit at a time to France
rather than to wait for the complete
equipment of big army, because OF
transportation problems. He said, too
that he did not think Americans now
with the French army should be with.
drawn to serve under the American
flag, except, possibly, few specialists
who might be useful in developing
the training of the new American
force. He paid hearty tribute to the
valor of Americans now fighting for
France.
American officers, he believed, were
fully competent to train American
men, and he gave it as his opinion
that an American army would devel
OPP rapidly.

BELGIUM TO GET PART
OF THE AMERICAN LOAN
Estimates Are Made by Baron De
Cartier for McAdoo-Many Refu-
gees Must Be Cared for.

Washington.-In addition to loans
to France and Italy totaling between
100000, 90 and $500, 100000, the Uni
ted States soon will make loan to
Belgium, the amount of which is yet
to be determined. Unofficial esti-
mates of the size of the Belgian loan
place it at approximately $150,000,000.
Formal application for loan was
not made until Monday, when the
Belgian minister, Baron De Cartier,
placed before Secretary McAdoo ten
tative estimates as to the relief de-
sired, which includes provision for
meeting in part the Belgian govern
ment's need in maintaining large
number of refugees domiciled in
France, in addition to requirements
of military nature.
Further conferences will be held
before the statement of Belgian needs
is placed in final form for considera-
ton. There is said to be wide diverg
ence between the first estimates OF
the various entente governments as
to their requirements and their final
estimates, made after a process OF
elimination during conferences with
treasury department officials.
Discussion of French and Italian
loans will be raised by further offer
of treasury certificates, expected with
in the next few days.
