WAR HISTORY
(Rv Associated Press)

Wy ASoOSlaSSA 1851
Paris, Feb. 3-The Division Of
Archives at the front has gathered
more than 1000 big cases Of docu-
ments for the use of historians Of the
war. The final classification adopted
covers 5000 different subjects, and it
is done with such fastidious pains
that all the future historians will have
to do is to name the subject or the
part Of the line where occurred the
operations he is studying to get a
complete record.
Besides these archives to the mill
tary operations, red tape methods
have required the different units in
the French army to furnish some
thing like rs million written docu-
ments since the beginning of the war.
? A single division Of cavalry was call
cd upon for 3e8, 900 reports and sta
, tistical documents in two years; not
one Of them referred to the action of
the division in battle or at the front,
These statistics are being used by
! the enemies of bureaucratic methods

FOR EDUCATIONAL REFORM.

The General Education Board, founded by
1ohn n Rockefeller, and having an endowment
of S35, OOO, 900 has announced an experiments
tive school, which will thoroughly test the ne"
ideas of modern teaching, which in essence dlsre,
gard the old fundamentals, and prepare the pupl
for a sound place in the life of its people
This may lead to wide reversal OF oplnlon as 10
inst what a school should teach. There are many
now who believe that ancient languages serve no
purpose and that ability to make a living IS much
better than full knowledge OF history. we are
not sure that we agree with this idea, because 1t
contains nothing that might develop character
and this we think should be the aim of all school
systems.

POSSIBILITIES OF OUR SOIL.

We want to say to the farmers of this coun-
munity that no feature of present day education
is more potent for good roads to this country than
that now being accomplished by the various agri-
cultural schools and experiment stations and
farms.
Twenty years ago the book farmer was look
ed upon as a visionary by a large per cent. Of our
farming population, and is even yet so regarded
by some, though happily their number is small.
Now the man who intelligently studies his
SOL with a view to determining it's needs is COM
ing to the front as an authority on matters agri-
cultural. And the reason this is so is because his
theories have brought forth fruit in fact.
Nothing is more certain than that this coun-
try is woefully behind in farming efficiency. For
years our farming experts have been pointing out
to us the fact that our lands are not producing a
half, not even a third, of the crops that bountiful
nature intended they should yield. One has only
to cite the case of Germany to see the full force
of this statement. Germany is not as large as
the state of Texas, yet Germany today is supply
ing her civil population and her vast armies al
most entirely from the products of her W soil.
But Germany and other old world countries
have for years p~racticed intensive farming, a
system that is only just beginning to prevail in
this country,
Instead of being merely an experiment, inten-
sive farming should be the rule, Nothing more
fully demonstrates the truth of this statement
than a glance at the results obtained by the many
corn clubs of the country. From all directions
come reports from these organizations, where the
enormous yield of 200 bushels and more per acre
has been attained. Not only this, but the reports
coming from all sections of the country are proof
that almost any of our soil is susceptible to just
such improvement:
Then there is another important feature to
these big corn yields. It is shewn that they can
be produced at a substantial profit over and above
the cost of preparing the land for this production,
Careful records have been kept of all expendi-
lures, and in almost every instance the proceeds
have much more than paid the cost Of bringing
the soil to its present state Of fertility.
If these results can be obtained from an acre,
or two or three, why not from ten, or fifty, or a
hundred acres7 If they can be obtained from a
patch, why not from a field? Why not from all
fields?
The deplorable truth is that too many of our
farmers are necessity" farmers. They ask
themselves, "How much do l need?" and then
proceed to satisfy that need land no more. They
should rather ask, 'How much can l get? and
then get all they can.
1t has been estimated that America could feed
the world if all her soil were made to produce to
it's full capacity.
What that capacity is, we are only just begin
ming to discover,

GOOD ROADS MAKE GOOD TOWNS.

A system Of good roads would be worth more
to this country than a new railroad. When cap
italists project new railroads through territory
they usually get the communities to give rights
of way and to subscribe to the capital stock.
A system of good roads requires no right Of
way and no subscription to capital stock. A good
plan of getting good roads is to build them and
keep them in order, That is the only way: A
road won't grow better with use unless attended
to and this county's highways need attention,

CHAPTER VIII.
Romance Comes.

Sometimes, Methodists, or Presbyte-
rians, or Observation-Disclosures we may
be-we are irresistibly impelled to the
conclusion that things were simply
bound to happenl However slight the
cause-still that cause was ~predestined
from the beginning of time. A girl
may by the sheerest accident step
from the street a a block ahead Of
her destination-an Irritating accident.
But as she walks that block she may
meet an old-time friend, and a stranger.
And that stranger-ah. you can never
convince the girl that her stepping
from the q too soon was not ordered
when the foundations of the world
were laid.
After all, 1t IA very simple. Across
the street from the parsonage lived a
girl named Matte Moore-a common.
unlovely, unexciting girl, who taught
y country school five miles out from
