BIG WHEAT AREA.

When the official report reveals the
number of acres seeded to wheat this
fall it will be the highest on record.
There are a few good reasons for
this. Farmers have been asked to
produce more bread for the coun-
try's sake, and thcy have never yet
failed to respond to such an appeal.
Even where yields were so low this
year that the crop Drought less than
it cost the acreage is larger than
usual. Another reason is that many
farmers have found wheat to be pro-
fitable, and profit invariably stimu-
lates production. The labor short
age has also led some men to sow
wheat rather than attempt to raise
crops requiring much help next year.
The winter wheat has IL very favor
able start and we hope for the same
kind of finish.

YANK IS LAVISH
WITH HUNS KALE
Private From Front Gives
Walters Tips With 100
Mark Notes

With The First American Army,
oct. 1S.-Private Steve Kelly, OF
Chicago, came back from the st.
NIihiel show with paper packet
neatly bound up with a cord. When
he had eaten his dinner in brasserie
i'm a certain city behind the American
front he indicated to the waitress that
he would give her "bon souvenir
for tip.
He opened the packet and extract
ed therefrom a 100 mark note.
"Merci," said the waitress, and
pocketed the German banknote.
A doughboy sitting next to Kelly
on his way up from a replacement
camp, asked what the things were:
That's German paper money that
] captured" said Kelly. my lieu
tenant and me got into place nam
ed Hattonchattel about two minutes
after Jerry got out. We were prowl'
ing around in their old headquarter'
and found big wooden box with rope
handles on it. l jimmied it oper
with my bayonet and what was it but
the payroll of the German regiment
My lieutenant dug in and found the
top tray was filled with gold, German
gold pieces and lots of papers of va
rious kinds. He took them and put
them away and turned them in. ]
asked him what he was going to do
with the rest of the stuff and he said
l could have any part of it for SOU
venirs. 1t was pretty dark, so ]
reached in and got bundle of these
notes. They seemed to be trading
stamps or something, but when l got
a chance to look them over, why
what are they but German currency
/ have been giving away lot of it.
Here's one for yourself and your
friends" And Kelly passed over
half a dozen 20 mark notes to his
new-found acquaintance.
The rest of the evening Kelly gave
away 5, 10, 20, so and 1O0-mark
notes to people he met. Then the
next day he got a fearful shock.
Don't you know that these birds
can send that German dough to the
states and get it cashed into real
monkey there? asked boy who had
lust annexed a 100-mark note.
Kelly stopped and thought it over
for a minute.
I'll say you're right" he replied,
and counted up what he had left of
the German regiments payroll. There
was LOO marks, chiefly in small
notes.
And I'll bet l gave away 5000
marks" said Kelly disconsolately as
he made his way toward the post
office to ship what was left of the
German wealth back to someone in
Chicago.

Reducing Fire Danger.


The fire hazard should be consider
ed in the location and construction OF
all new farm buildings. Many groups
of farm bulldogs are so located and
constructed that any fire which might
break out in one building would be
almost sure to destroy the whole
group. When a new building is to
be erected il is worth while at least
to consider placing it where it will
be reasonably safe from fire starting
in any other building and where it
will not be a menace to other build
ingS
Concrete construction is being used
on many farms and il is especially
desirable for smoke houses. incuba-
tor rooms and any other small build
ings which are exceptionally subject
to loss by fire. The first cost of a
well-constructed concrete building
generally will be greater than that of
a wood building of the same size. but
the concrete will last practically for
ever. and will seldom need paint or
repairs.
\ fire in such a building can do
but slight damage to the building it
self. and there is very little likeli-
hood of its spreading to any of the
adjoining buildings.

Crimean War.

The Crimean war occurred in 1853
IS, between Russia on one side and
the allied forces of Turkey, France
and Great Britain on the other. 1t
grew out of dominating and aggressive
claims by Russia. The war took its
name from that it was mainly waged
in a Russian peninsula on the border
of the Black sea, a strip of country
called Krim or Grim by the Russians
and Anglicized as Crimea, pronounced
Crim-e-a, with the / short as in GRIM

Control Your Conduct.

The worst kind of unhappiness, as
well as the greatest amount of 1t,
comes from our conduct TO each other.
If our conduct, therefore, We're under
the control of kindness, it would be
nearly the opposite of what it is, and
so the state of the world would be
almost reversed. We are for the most
part unhappy because the world is an
unkind world. But the world is only
unkind for the lack of Kindness in the
individuals who compose it.-Fred-
