France is a beautiful country, and
the French people are fine people
They have the finest farms and
roads / ever saw anywhere. The
farmers do not live on their farms,
they all live in little villages and 90
for miles out to tend their little
farms. You never see a fence or
house on farm, instead Of blowing
around a hill like we do, they pillow
up and down the hill. One place |
saw farmer blowing with two milk
COWS yoked up.
Most Of the places you hardly ever
see four wheel vehicle, all two
wheel. and sometimes as many as
four horses hitehed TO them, one in
front Of the other. Some places they
still operate the old-fashioned stage
coaches, they are about the only four
wheel vehicles you see.
Most Of the French people wear
wooden shoes. and when you hear a
noise in the rear, you have to look
around in order TO tell whether it is
a horse or man coming. They sure
do raise grapes, you can see great
fields Of them every where, and they
drink wine and champagne like we
would water.
There are some of the prettiest
girls here | ever saw. The women
Of France work as hard as the men,

SAVANNAH ICE MAKERS
HAVING HARD FIGHT

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 19.-The iceman
of Savannah are still maintaining a
stubbornly defiant attitude, which
tends to make them unpopular with
the public and which may result in
the city officials here importuning the
federal authorities at Washington to
come down and take a hand in the
matter
The ice man have held a meeting
but refused to give out any informa-
ton. They will not even give cut the
names of those on the special commit
tee which is to confer with the city
officials
Acting Mayor Wright states that the
investigation is to be held further with
he object of having the ice men agree
to deliver ice in the city to consumers
at thirty-fve cents a hundred pounds
Ii no agreement could be reached, he
pointed out, the matter would probably
be referred to the federal authorities
ut Washington.

GERMANY PRODUCES MANY
Different WAR MEDALS

London, Jan. 30.-Germany has pro-
duced $50 different war wedals to
commemorate various alleged victories
during the war. Copies of about half
of them have been obtained by the
Victoria and Albert Museum in Lon
don and are now on exhibition there,
Before April, 1916, the German gov

dred popular priced victory medals"
of various kinds. These were struck
|. off in light silver and sold to the public
for small sum, bearing Inscriptions
recording such exploits as Zeppelin at
lacks on London, the bombardment Of
British coast town and battles on the
western front Many OF the medals
bear portraits of popular heroes of a
day or two.
Some of the medals are intended as
cartoons. Such is medal depicting
England as a skeleton torpedoing the
Dutch steamer although the
Dutch government proved that the tor
pedo was of German manufacture.

NORWAY WANTS TO
REGAIN IMPORTS
EFFORTS BEING MADE TO RENEW
TRADE IN U. S.

Christainia, Norway Jan. 30-How
to come to an agreement with America
for the resumption of the impor Of sup
plies is the main topic for discussion
In the beginning the government did
not seem to take the American ques-
ton seriously, but after the failure of
the commission in Washington to OBJ
tain export licenses, the vabinet men,
bers realized the gravity of the situa-
ton One by one the members of the
Norwegian delegation to Washington
returned until only DR.. Nansen re-
manned.
The newspapers, except tn eoffical
cabinet organ, are becoming impatient.
They ask why Denmark has obtained
export licenses for different food stuffs
and say Sweden has had greater sue
cess than Norway. So far Germany
has had great advantages from the
trade agreements with Norway.
By the agreement with Great Brit
ian of August, 1916, Norway could send
fifteen per cent OF her fish to Germany.
But besides this Germany bought enor-
mouse quantities of canned fish, so
that, it is said, the total export amount
ed to more than thirty per cent 1t
was asserted at a session of the Stor-
thing that the total export of fish to
Germany from August, 1914, to Au-
gust, 1917, was 10000 tons. Before
the war the average export to Germany
was $4,000 tons, or about % per cent
of the whole export of fish from the
country. On the other hand the Ger
mans have not been able to keen their
contract to furnish fishing tackle and
motor oil as compensation for the fish.
One leading paper asks how long
Norway is to continue supplying favors
to Germany while the Germans sink
Norwegian ships and kill Norwegian
sailors. And, it is inquired, what does
Norway get in return for the material
for manufacturing guns, projectiles
and ammunition which she is supply
ing to Germany.
The Shipping Gazette said editorial
y recently that the Norwegian Foreign
Minister is eXerting himself to in
crease the export of raw materials for
manufacturing munitions, and cited
| that as the reason why the United
States did not send a Christmas ship
to Norway, as to Denmark Other pa
pers, notably the Social Democraten
challenged the Foreign Minister to de-
ny the statement, but he remained
silent.
Before the war Germany furnished
Norway with considerable grain and
-four but, although the fish export is
more than doubled, Norway does not
get any flour from Germany. The
United States has been the chief pro
WIDER since the beginning of the war.
Before the war, Norway obtained 1877
900 tons of grain and flour from Ger
many and $1,000 from the United
States. In 1915, she imported $4,000
tons from the United States and 81
tons from Germany, and after that
year none from Germany. And Ger
many has also stopped the expectation
to Norway of other very important
commodities.

Sure Reach Soldiers, Says

II found the books of the American
Library Association everywhere in
France" says Raymond Fosdick, chair
man. of the National Commission on
Training Camp Activities, who has just
returned from an extended trip over
seas, during which he conducted a
thorough investigation of the work
being done by the various war work
agencies
Il found them in dugouts thirty or
forty feet below ground, in cow-barns
where shrapnel had blown parts of
the roof away, as well as in the sub
stantial huts and tents far back from
the firing line.
Il have found them in hospitals and
dressing stations; in scattered villages
in the training area where our men are
billeted and even in the remote parts
OF France where the forestry units are
carrying out their lonely, but efficient
and essential work Your books are in
continual demand from the time the
soldiers arrive in camp in America
until they come back home after sery-
ice over there"
The A. l.. A. library service has
grown tremendously within the past
few months and millions of books
have been distributed wherever sol
diers and sailors are quartered, on sea
or land.

If we don't meet on earth again,
We will meet at the golden gate.
Some girls are not SO patient,
And will not wait so long,
They will 90 and love another
When their soldier boy has gone.
When be goes to fight the battle
For his country and for you;
His thoughts are always resting
On the one he thinks is true.
When he returns in years to come

His whole life will be ruined,
And his happiness lost.
Don't bear this strain, little girl,
Make your love be true,
Greet the boy in Khaki
When he comes marching back to you.
Throw your arms about him,
Let him kiss your sweet little lips,
Then he will joyfulIy tell you
All about his wonderful trips.
Do not respect a Stacker,
They deserve not even a chance,
The boys whom you should honor
Are the boys who go to France.

By the way the Protective Tar
lff seems to have been the thing
to let alone to save the sugar in
dustry from utter ruin, since the
Democrats seem to have given
up their absurd idea of abolish
ing sugar duties. The result
will be that as soon as the war is
over and the soldier-farmers re-
turn to tn e farms that beet SUI
gar and sugar growers will take
heart again and go to producing
the raw material with which to
make sugar. This country should
not need to import sugar, but
produce it within it's borders,
and if Am erican farmers and re-
finers get the tariffs, who cares?
