Orchard Grove Notes.

More zero weather the past week,
but there are hopes of spring early
for there wasn't any doubt about the
ground hog seeing his shadow last
Saturday.
If cold winters bring good crops,
undoubtedly this part of the country
will be PROSPEROUS and do their "bit"
for the nation the coming season.
Harvest help will be scarce if the
young men are called to war, but
many women can drive teams as we'll
as cars and there is always a way if
we look for it.
Some of our young men in the first
class of the draft are called to be ex-
amined this week. Much sorrow and
regret will be felt when they leave
for camp, but let's not discourage and
dishearten them by ,wailings against
war. Rather cheer and help them to
see the best. brightest side.
Uncle Sam is striving to care for
his soldiers in the best possible man.
ner. and with the help of those who
do not 60, much can be done toward
cheering and encouraging those in
service.

spectacular than airplane observation
is none the less essential. The bal.

Used in NapoIeonic Wars.
The first use of balloons in warfare
dates way back to the Napoleonic
wars, when France employed them
against Austria. So revolutionary was
the procedure, however, that all cap.
tured observers were treated as spies
by the enraged Austrians. During the
Civil war in this country Northern OBJ.

from near Washington at the C0nfed'

veloped the art in the war Of 1870
against Germany, who later took 1t
up on 4 much more ambitious scale in
her Zeppclins. The science fell upon
slack times, however, as did that OF
airp'nnes, and the war departments
reports of a few years back are full OF
brief statements that no work Wa:
done in bal!ooning for lack of funds.

is maintained over every move of the
enemy, over every shell fired by either
side, so that friends below may be
saved from surprise and enemies
across the lines may feel the weight Of
every shell hurled at them.
The United States is building up
such force literally from nothing.
Last November the old field out West
was overgrown with weeds, the gas

TO RESTORE EXHAUSTED s0IJ.
France Expects Cultivation to Full
Capacity in Five Years.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
PARIS. February 2S-The damaged
industries and the upheaved and ex
hausted farm lands OF France, it is
thought now. may be restored to their
full productive capacity within five
years after the conclusion of peace
with the exception of denuded forests
and fhe most sravely wasted land in
the immediate proximity of the line
where the front has been practically
stationary for more than three years.
These are some of the elements unon
which they count to make UP for what
France will have lost: ContE~ued and
developed use of female labor in in
dustries; entrance of youths into active
business and industry at an earlier
age; greater activity and consequent
greater productive capacity of all cat
egories Of workers. and an enormous
extension of the use of modern labor
saving equipment in the factory and
on the farm.
the development of water power will
contribute Immensely to fill the void
in industrial facilities, while five
years recruits of boys coming to age
for active participation in the co,n-
try's affairs is expected to replace at
least third of the wastage in human
material
