.Sainte Seductre."

"Sainte Seductre,' by Exile X. is an
instructive war story written in dia-
logue form. The authors aim in writ
ing this book is TO acquaint Americans
with one phase of kaiserism. He has
chosen as the subject of this book, the
German spy system. The background
of the story is laid in Belgium and
Germany. The horrors of war are
told graphically and convincingly.
The starvation and exile of the Bel
gians. the treatment of the Alsatians,
the German idea of kultur and the
workings of the German spy system
are some of the subjects touched up
on.
The author has thrown new light
upon the menace of imperialism to
civilization. He describes how Ger
many might reorganize her govern
ment after the war is over. under the
guise of democracy, and thus become
a greater danger TO civilization than
she was at the beginning of the war.
The subject is handled comprehensive
ly by the author.

THE FALL OF THE BASTILE

The anniversary of the fall of the
Bastile was celebrated in France with
just as much fervor as our own
Fourth of July in America.
The meaning of the great epoch
which dawned in America in 1916, and
eliminated in France in 1888 in a
great revolution, whose spirit after
over a century is about to have its
full fruition in the last fall of the last
Bastile of absolutism by the force of
allied democracy.
Paris wept and cheered at the
sight of the battle-torn flags brought
from the front and carried through
the streets. There were 1874 of them,
each the standard of some regiment
or battalion remarkable for valor and
suffering. Before the crowds passed
5000 heroes of France. Not one of
this great body of men was without a
decoration on his breast, and some
of them were literally covered on the
left side of their coat by medals of
yalor. While the heroes passed in
the streets the warriors of the air
were parading at a height of over
1000 feet.
These heroes of the Marine, the
Somme, Verdun and many other
bloody conflicts form one being. one
body and one soul-France. They
are fighting for that democracy which
has grown steadily since the storm
of the historic Bastile. and they will
win. The sacrifices of the sons OF
France can have but one result and
that is the triumph of democracy.

Editor the Missourian: In practical
" all sections of the Middle West
there are large tracts of land that are
unused for agricultural purposes.
The land is either too poor for the
production of paying crops or it is un-
suitable on account of poor drainage
or other defects. Such land can be
prOfitably used for grazing purposes,
making possible thriving dairy bust
ness, if the farmers are but interested
in this line of activity.
The merchants of one enterprising
city nearby have taken upon them
selves to interest the farmers in rails
ing dairy herds, and have built up a
big resource for the community
through their efforts. A dairy expert
was induced by bonus of several
thousand dollars to establish a dairy
in the city. The merchants then set
about to interest the farmers in rails
ing DAIRY HeruS.
Dairy experts from the state board
of agriculture department were invited
to visit the city and give lectures to
the farmers on this industry. When
interest had been aroused among them.
the merchants agreed to purchase
pure bred cattle giving unusual milk
yields and sell them to the farmers
at easy rates of payment. The mer-
chants further agreed to take back the
cattle if they did not prove paying
investment for the purchaser within a
certain period.
AS a means of establishing a future
interest in this new industry, the mer-
chants gave pure bred calves to the
children of the farmers, awarding the
calves as prizes for contests conduct
ed among the children. This has re-
suited in many of the future farmers
having resolved to devote their ener-
gies wholly to the raising of dairy
herds.
As to the success of the move, suffice
it to say that the dairy is now receiv-
ing more orders than it can handle
and land around the city that was
bringing no income to the owners is
now dotted with cattle which are pay
in@ The farmers large dividends each
month through the sale of their milk.
