TYPIFIES SPIRIT OF FRANCE
Brave Thirteen-Year-Old Girl, With
Two Small Brothers, Doing All
the Work on Farm.

When the work in your war gar
your aching back and look longingIy
toward the inviting shade of the trees
or toward the arm chair on the awning
covered porch; when you mutter to
yourself that 1t will not matter much
whether the weeds do choke the beet
patch--it may help you to finish your
task If you call to mind story told
in my War Diary" by Mrs. Mary King
Washington.
In a village near ours, says the au-
thor a girl of thirteen is running the
farm. At the beginning of the war it
was a thriving farm with man and
his wife, six sons and one daughter.
Then the blow fell, and all the men
in France were modified; the father
and his two eldest boys went off az
Once-four hours after the decree of
mobilization was received in the vii.
lage. The farmer had no time to put
his house in order, but left the farm
in the hands of his wife and the two
big boys, aged ftteen ana sixteen. The
man and his two eldest sons are now
dead the two next are in the army,
and the poor mother, wreck phys
ically and mentally, cries all day. The
girl and the two little boys do the
whole work of the farm. The young
est, who is only ten years old,
cannot accomplish much, but he does
manage to watch the cows and to
carry cans of milk or baskets of but
ter.
see the girl simetimes; she is per-
fectly well, never complains and never
asks for nything-except occasional
ly for a warm petticoat, or hood to
keep her head and neck warm and dry
when she is working in the fields.
There are hundreds of girls doing that
work all over France.-Youth's Com
paniOn.

A I{THUR ]. AUION,
County Clerk.

II IS time TO face about to begin
linking of farming as mans earliest
ana noblest vocation, and of the coun-
try MS the garden which the Lord com
munded Adam to '1keep and to dress"
which may be properly interpreted ms
10 conserve and to beautify. Thus we
may cause it again to become what it
should be, what it was ordained TO
he--man's natural abiding place and
the means of sustenance TO which cit
les in their proper relation are only
market places for the exchange Of
commodities, and to which manufac-
ure, transportation, industry and COM
mcrcc are but the useful servants.

week or two, when Foch's swift and
tireless pursuit began TO encourage
the wild dream that the retreat might
be forced to the Hindenburg line be-
fore snow falls. But beyond that, un-
til next spring at the nearest, the
dream did not go. When the Huns
reached the old Hindenburg line, so
the expectations were, they would rest
secure in their ready intrenchments
for the winter They would not be
dislodged before the opening of an
other season.
But not only have they been driven
back to the Hindenburg line at sew
eral points, but at two of those points
they have been driven through the
line while at other points the line is
threatened with the peril of being
fianked
In such a situation anything may be
possible the next few days. The pres
ent retreat is already far more disas-
trous than the first retreat from the
Marine. and If the steadily pressed
Huns are unable to hold the linden
burg line then may come the deluge.
AT any rate, conditions are certain to
follow in which many things, until
recently unlocked for, may result
The developments of the next ten
days are going to have very def
mite and clarifying bearing as to the
probable duration of the war"

Water DAMAGE to Flour.

Ii IS a well-known fact among sail
ors that flour will not only float after
immersion in sea water, but suffers
very little damage. TO ascertain the
actual damage says the Northwestern

9S-pound weight was necessary to sink
a 150-pound bag, which would have
supported - pounds on top of the wa

weight. When lifted and weighed the
bag sealed 155 pounds. II was dried
for four days and yielded 100 pounds
Of perfectly dry -four, the bag and
waste Weighing 2S pounds. Baked into
bread, 1t gave perfect results.
