TRANCE WELCOMES AMERICA

Led by it's illustrious President, the United States has entered into this war. By the side of France in the defense of the ideals of mankind the place of Amer ica is marked
 France, which has long recognized the valor of the American soldier, cherishes the confident hope that the flag of the United States will soon be unfurled on our fighting line. This is what Germany dreads.
 France and America will see with pride and joy the day when their sons once more fighting shoulder to shoulder in the defense of liberty. The victories which they will certainly win will hasten the end of the war and will tighten the links of affection and esteem which have ever united France and the United States"
 When the cheering died away at the conclusion of the reading of the aides English translation, M Hovelaque, gen. eral counsellor of the mission, invited the correspondents to ask questions.

GRATEFUL FOR RECEPTION

',The very cordial welcome given me by the city of Washington and the ex- pressions of sympathy which reached me from states and cities throughout the United States have moved me deeply since they are homage paid to the whole French army, which I represent here.
 The heroism and resolution of the sol- diers of France indeed deserve all the affection the United States has shown them. After having, in supreme eff fort, defeated and thrown back a bar barous enemy, the French army has un- tiringly labored to increase and perfect it's efficiency. And now, in the third year of the war. it is attacking the en- emy with greater vigor and material force than ever before
 Side by side with it and animated by ID less heroic spirit stands the British army, whose formation and development will ever remain the administration of the world The Germans have realized it's wonderful growth. Every encounter has made them feel the increasing men ace of it's strength. The contempt they pretended to feel for it in the early days of the war has gradually become dread more openly avowed each day.

CONGRESSMAN DOMINICK.

The papers have been having quite
a good deal to say with regard to
the vote of Congressman Dominick
on the resolution declaring a state
of war to exist between this country
and Germany Congressman Domi-
nick, along with forty-nine others,
voted against the resolution. He
gave as his reason for so voting that
his constituents did not want war.
We do not agree with the position
of Mr.. Dominick. He was correct in
saying that majority of his consti-
tuents did not WANT war, but we
do not think he was correct in think
ing that majority Of the people of
the third district did not think the
time had come when we must have
war whether we want it or not.
But be this as, it may, the people
of the third district will not fall out
with the new congressman for hav-
ing opinions of his own, and in fol-
lowing his own Judgment, especially
as he has announced that he will
support the government in the con-
duct of the war since it has been
declared.

people know, no doubt, what was
the result. One of the main results
was greatly to increase the number
of teachers in the public schools,
and whereas the superintendent of
the schools formerly taught in the
upper grades, he is now supposed to
carry the thermometer and do gen.
eral police duty.
We contend that there are enough
teachers in the public schools in Abb
beville to properly teach every pupil
in the public schools, and that the
young women who seek places in
our schools are as. well, and better,
paid than the young women doing
other work, requiring as much tai
ent and more patience and endur-
ance. And we predict now that
when the increased tax is levied in
this school district, the class Of
teachers will be the same, the num-
Der will be increased, and that the
only result of the new tax will be
an increased waste in public funds
collected from other people

HOW CONNECTICUT
MAINTAINS ROADS

The main roads of Connecticut
have long been famous for their ex-
cellence, condition due to their ef-
ficient maintenance under heavy
traffic as we'll as to their. original
good construction. State Highway
Commissioner Bennett has organized
q special branch of his bureau to
attend to this maintenance, so that
there is no divided responsibility for
results. 1t is under a superintendent
of repairs, w. Leroy Uldrich, who
recently explained how the good re-
suits are attained. The state has
been divided into ten districts. Any
part of each of them can be easily
reached from a central point where
the Office of the district supervisor
of repairs is located. Each district
is divided into sections, each in
charge of foreman. These fore
men sometimes act singly as patrol
men and sometimes have charge of
ten to fifteen men, depending upon
the season of the year and the work
to be done. In addition each dis
trict has one or more gangs rrans-
ferred from place to place to carry
on reconstruction, oiling and other
work which is occasionally needed
in such amounts that the section
forces are unable to perform it with
out neglecting other duties. This
bureau handles all the maintenance
and small reconstruction work Of
the state and keeps the roads in
good condition until long stretches
become 80 worn that their recon-
struction by contract is more econ
omical than further maintenance.

CORN PRODUC.
TION IN PROVED
CORN-CROWlNG REGIONS

Washington, D. c., Ahrd I s23.-
The Secretary of Agriculture, today
(April 1s), issued the following
statement; g. I, p : -
Corn Is sAmerica's most important
cereal. II can be grown successfully
over a wider rean than any other
and furnishes nutritious food for
man as well as the staple grain food
for cattle and draft animals. The
production of corn should be in
creased this year to the fullest ex-
tent, taking into consideration seed,
labor, and existing economic ,condi-
tions, and the availability of good
land in corn growing regions not
needed more urgently for other crops
An appreciable increase in the
corn crop is most feasible, however,
in the sections of highest corn pro-
duction. Favorable growing condi-
tions exist in such regions; farmers
there are familiar with corn-grow-
ing; they have the necessary equip
ment available, and have adapted
corn production to prevailing ece-
nomic conditions. Farmers in such
regions, through many years of ex-
perience, have learned methods of
successfully combating adverse con-
ditions. They know that the plant
ing of virile, tested seed in well-till-
ed, friable soil, immediate replant-
ing of missing hills, and early and
continued cultivation 'of the fields
count for much in the ability of the
plants to produce bountiful yield.
This knowledge should be put to
good use during the coming season
in order that however unfavorahle
conditions may be production of an
exceptionally large crop may be as
sured.
In practically every county in the
country in which experience has
shown that corn may be produced
successfully, the possibilities of in
creasing the corn crop without en-
croaching upon other important
crops is at least worthy of consid-
GRAFTON, if land, labor, and seed are
available.

PUTTING PROPERTY UP.

One Of the insurgents on the Board
Of Trustees for this school district
informs US that high taxes will put
the price Of property up and make
young men of. the city buy homes.
They will want to live in a town
which levies high taxes for school
prposes, and other purposes, and
they will fall over themselves to buy
property in such a city.
r Some thirty years ago a farmer
who lived in the section where we
were reared told US that the best
time to sell cotton was when it had
gone up to the top and started
down; that then you got the benefit
of both the rise and fall of the mar
ket.
And this proposition of buying
and paying for homes in a city
which taxes the very existence out
Of pepole reminds US very much of
the cotton selling proposition. A
young man who undertakes to buy a
home in Abbeville, and who under
takes to pay eight per cent. interest
for borrowed money and five per
cent. taxes will find himself fighting
