Soldiers Had Their Way.

Now it is all right. Every one under

That is but sample of the difficult
ties encountered in the work of SANTA

a day. The back yards are cleaned up.
Camp refuse is burned in incfneratorS-

The men drink only water which has

The dishes are washed in the same wa

twentieth century.
One consequence is that there have
been no fieS-not nearly so many as

ness Army sick reports are mostly
blank sheets headed by a date and the
doctors name. The doctors spend more
time in doctoring the village sick-for
the villagers prefer their own we'll wa
ter-than in doctoring soldiers who do
not get sick. The villagers are distress
ingly clean. Eventually one becomes
finicky and absurd and refuses to
throw down burned matches or cigar
butts. One glares angrily at automo-
biles that tear frantically over street
which is nicely grained by the broom
strawe. The one consolation is that the
police gang is already on the track of
the automobile with swishing brooms.

Wealth of the Richest Man.

The manure heap is the savings bank
in rural France. The farmer with the
largest heap is the richest man. because
he will have the best crops next year.
Farmers live in villages in Europe. an
Inheritance from the fine old times
when they built watch towers on every
hilltop to warn them that the neighbors
were coming to spend the day. Even
yet in the more remote parts the people
of one village refer to the people of
the next village as foreigners" They
have little liking for them. There are
instances in which the people of one
village speak a dialect which differs
from that spoken in the next.
Nor are there stables in rural Europe,
as there are in our own farming coun-
try. Land in these tiny villages is val
liable by comparison with the farm
land. Houses once built are built for
the great-grandchildren as well as for
the present generation. In the excellent
past it was highly advisable for each
farmer to keep his live stock under
lock and key and where he could de-
fend it with gun. Therefore the stable
occupies the ground floor of the farm

TIERS. August 2s.-"They make great
deal of dust" said the old lady.
After all, you can't blame her. If
you had been brought up on street
that had not been swept since the
first knight jingled down it in a suit
Of installment plan armor you would
object to a lot of young strangers
sweeping it in the morning before you
were up. and at noon, and at dinner
time and just before you went to bed.
But certainly they make great deal
of dust.
And if all your life you had slept
with a nice, fragrant pile Of valuable
stable manure right under your bod
room window-on the street. just at
the entrance to the stable over which
was your bedroom-the time would
come when you would regard that
manure pile as something fixed and
immutable and not to be disturbed.
like the cure, or the bright evening
star. or the postmaster's two hours
for dejeuner.
You would protest when the young
strangers pitchforked all that value
into wagons and hauled it away. Very
likely you would protest with pitch
fork. as many of these villagers have.
A sacred and inalienable right was
being desecrated and alienated- Every
fair-minded person must sympathfze
with you. II you did not protect your
own you must be ciassed as a pretty
poor stick.
In order to keep the villages in which
they are quartered so clean that mi
crobes travel nights to get away from
them, the American troops have had to
burst through customs that have be-
come traditions, they are so old. That
they have been able to accomplish their
purpose and still retain the affection of
the villagers proves that the average
American officer should be in the diplo-
matte service. His talents are being
wasted in the fighting branch.
