SOMETHING MoaE THAN toy
Quaint Old Legend Having to Do With
Piow is Peculiarly Appropriate
Just Now.

There In d quaint old legend Of Al
SAGE. recalls the Christian Science
Monitor. concerning n family Of giants
who. once upon time. lived In a Ger.
fnIn cnstle In the old country. The
moral of the story seems appropriate
mt time when the French minister
OF agriculture is making special ef-
fort to encourage the cultivation Of
land.
The giants lived. says the legend.
fur from the peasants Of the plain and
one day the daughter Of the house.
who though quite a child. was already
thirty feet high. strolled toward .
plain and saw laborer peacefully
plowing his fields. She picked up the
peasant. the horse and the plow and
put them In her plnafore and returned
10 the castle to show what she had
found to her father. M
"What you think IL but q toy" said
the giant, rs what produces the food
which enables Us to live. Put back
the inborer and his horse where You
found them" From that time onward.
adds the tale. the peasants were never
molested by the giants.
