literature sent out from Tuskegee il
regard to such work.
But the spring days are passing
and we earnestly ask every helpful
minded citizen to get ready for these
special days and for the health and

Wherever the ground shows, plant
something.
Trim up trees which are too low.
Pull up dead trees or plant quick
growing vines to run over them.
Put trash boxes in your back yard
so you may not be tempted to throw
your trash into the street.
Call attention of all you meet to the
idea of City Beautiful
Make a window box and fill it with
geraniums if you can't do more. 1t
will be a heartening sight and may
help your neighbor to do likewise.
Put some enthusiasm and determi-
nation and few pennies into your
back yard, for it can be made a verita-
be beauty spot.

THE NEW BREAD LINE.

The American Bread Line has
stretched. Once white bread stood
alone. Now in the line of honor,
with cornbread for captain, are rye
bread, barley-bread, rice-bread, po-
tato-bread, buckwheat-bread, and
oatmeal-bread.
Do you know them all? Each has
its admirers. Here is chance to
try oatmeal bread.
Oatmeal Bread.
cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon salt,
u yeast cake, n cup lukewarm
water, 21a cups white flour, cup
Rolled Oats.
Pour the boiling water over the
rolled oats and salt. Cool slowly,
letting it stand u hour. Add yeast
and sifted flour. Knead, and let
rise until double in bulk. Mould into
loaf and place in baking pan. Let
rise until light. Bake in moderate
oven from so to so minutes. The
addition of spoonful of brown SUI
gar and some chopped nuts will
make a bread that the children will
enjoy for school lunch.

MASCULINE VANITY.

Are men vainer than women?
We have often wondered and we
didn't know exactly how to express
what we felt about it until Arnold
Bennett told us in "The Meaning of
Frocks in the November Cosmopo-
Titan.
Mr.. Bennett claims that the haunt
ed look warn by haberdashers comes
from the long concealment of ter
rible secret-that men are, after all,
quite as fussy as women about their
appearance. We have frequently
pondered over the fact that when a
man buys a cravat or suit of clo-
theS he doesn't want his women folk
around-but when. a woman buys a
frock or hat she is always glad to
have the company and criticism OF
her son or husband.
And this is because, so Mr.. Bennett
says, man has long cherished the Sc
cret of his inordinate vanity away
from women.
Arnold Bennett always writes en-
tertainingly and well on any subject
ne selects, but in "The Meaning of
Frocks" he has written even more
brilliantly than usual.

Of Industrial activity that will be re-
planned, offer a peculiarly inviting
field to American capital and enter
prise. Tentative steps have already
been taken by representatives Of Amer
lean engineers and business men in this
work.
Aside from its attractive business
aspect, the enlistment of American
money and effort in the great task Of
reconstruction that will remain at the
end of the war will tend to cement still
more closely the ties that bind the two
great Republics together, and will en-
able Americans to discharge In part
the debt they owe to France for her
friendly interest in the welfare and
progress Of the United States from
the beginning Of its life as ma
ton.
In judging the industrial status Of
any nation, its production and con
sumption of coal, iron, and steel and
the growth of its transportation sys-
TENS are highly significant factors
In 1869, French industries consumed
Fl million tons Of coal, Of which 1875
millions were taken from home mines
In 1912, the consumption was 81 mil
lions, of which Al million tons were
taken from home mines.
In 1869, the French output Of cast
iron was 100000 tons, and Of steel.
100000 tons. In 1914, France pro-
duced 5,311 900 tons Of cast iron and
4,635,00O tons of steel.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1917-11-01

The increasing activity of her ran
way system is similarly demonstrable.
In 1869, there were in France 1918
miles OF railroad track; in 1912, there
were 3l,546 miles.
Between 1869 and 1912, inland navi-
cation increased l509oi while the traffic
Of her mercantile marine had amazing
ly expanded. The tonnage entering
French ports In 1869 is set down as
100000 tons. In 1912, this had been
increased to 100000 tons.
Leaders in American finance ascribe
the solidarity Of the French republic to
three Influences: first, thoroughly
sound banking system, centralized in
one of the greatest banking institutions
of the world the Bank of France; Sec
ond, the ingrained thrift and frugality
of the French people as whole, to-
gether with national economic vigor
not elsewhere surpassed; third, wise SUI
pervision, and patriotic cooperation by
the government with banking and busi-
ness interests.
The government does its part to war
rant and retain the confidence Of the
holders Of its securities. One of its
wise policies Is to impose new taxes to
defray the interest charges Oh new Sc
curity issues. 1t began this practice
after the Franco Prussian War, and is
today following the same rule in regard
to securities issued to finance the pres
ent conflict. This continuity of pur-
pose. doubtless, will prove reassuring
to all holders of French government
securities.
The Franco-Prussian war Of 1870
1871 taught the French people the
meaning Of thrift and eco.4omy. So
we'll Gid they learn this lesson. that

manded by Germany, $1,000 100000,

bowed under a calamitous invasion.
The bark, however, gives figures indi-
eating that France Is not only meeting
hor military and civilian problems with
a stout heart and never failing cour-
age, but is re-establishing her export
business with this country.
In 1914, the year Of the outbreak Of
the War, imports from France to this
country totaled $141, 446,252. This to-
tai was reduced to ST, 1853, 74O in 1915,
but last year the value Of French inn
ports to the United States rose to $lO2-
O77,O6O.
"A nation that can achieve such a
commercial recovery while her terri
tory is being ravished by the invader"
says the Trust company's statement,
possesses recuperative powers which
justify the belief that she will emerge
from the present conflict prepared to
meet and solve triumphantly the prob
lens which confront her."

of France, following past wars, indi-
Gates that she should recover quickly
from the actual physical destruction
inflicted in the present conflict. The

titled to as much respect as those OF
the mightiest empire. In defense Of
these principles, France Is engaged In
death struggle with militant autoc-
racy and ruthless aggression, and 1t 10
not surprising to learn that she has
loaned to her allies and to other friend
ly states 1000, 100000 francs with which
to further the cause Of democracy. Il
is In keeping with Americas traditions
that since the date on which We for
mally aligned ourselves with France

Government has lent to France $780,

1t Is eminently fitting that America
should now be fighting on French soil
to make the world safe for democracy.
The liberty that America has enjoyed
for 140 years France helped her to
' achieve. The swords of Lafayette and
Rochambeau, aided by the guns of De
Grasse upon the high seas, assisted In
cutting the foreign ties that bound the
American colonies prior to the War for
| Independence, and from the private
purse of King Louis himself came the
first loan to America --unsecured and
uncondltional-to finance that historic
undertaking. 1t was with entire just

The habit thus acquired has never
