Before the war he worked in the

Somewhere in France.-One of the
features of American military life in
France is the municipal police work
performed by several companies in va
rious parts of France.
In one town near to the regional
camps / noticed a very excellent ex-
ample of American adaptiveness to
any sort of work that necessity gives
rise to.
The captain of certain company
who graduated from the American
school with high honors and the usual
grade was not long before he got pro-
noted to his present rank. He is be-
loved by his men and can "get any
thing out of Them" it is said.
These men are not used to police
work. But that is no matter. They
do it all the same. In this company
alone counted as many as 131 univer-
sity men. They are all men who vol
unteered for the army at the start.
This shows the sort of stuff they are
made Of.
On Patrol Duty.
In the evenings you see groups OF
these military police stationed at va
rious parts of the city and patrolling
about In the day time they do the
same sort of work. They are detailed
to look after the American troops and
see that they get fair play In any mis-
understandings that may arise.
One difficulty that the local French
police have to contend with is the lack
of constables, who are mostly at the
front. But this Is no difficulty to the |
American captain, who promptly de-
tails as many men to help as may be
needed.
The captain is treated with great
respect and has an Office for his lieu
tenants in the local police buildings.

Make Card Sharks Work

Rout the card players out of the
cigar stores and use them for emer-
gency spring work on the farms and
leave the boys in school, was the adj
vice of G. G. Gordon to the Patriotic
league Tuesday evening His bit of
advice followed the suggestion of
Harry Roberts, another farmer, who
urged the speeding up of the schools
in some way so that the boys can be
released earlier in the spring for
farm work
Harry Roberts figures that there
are 70 boys in the Colfax high
school, 700 boys in the high schools
of the county and 400 boys in the
grade schools of the county who can
be worked to good advantage on the
farms. He said that if even 10 per
cent of them could be put on to run
teams, it would be a great help.
He figured it out to show how many
acres a boy with six horses can
pillow, how many bushels of spring
wheat can be produced to the acre
and what the net result would be
to the government in the way of
food production.-Colfax Gazette.

board a steamer-its revival is consid-

Chanties insure team work when

steamers; while the building Of large

an increased demand for men who can

And It 10 interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was. that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it In every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burley tobacco. grown

and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product In a

The change produced by toasting Is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
