TRIES OUT
 BACK TO LAND PLAN

PARIS, France.-At a recent ses- sion the Counsel General ot the Loire Department voted sum of S00,GO0 francs to be issued for the purpose of encouraging agricultural enter prises and repopulation of the farm ing districts.
 A minimum of eight to ten hectares Gone hectare equals 2.471 acres) may be allotted to each agriculturist not over 30 years of age, if not mobil- ized, and not over 35 years of age, if mobilized, who will promise to re- main 10 years at the head of his farm. Premiums Fixed
 The. resolution. further provides: 1. A fixed premium of. 100.. francs worth of farming implements of the latest model, which is not to be re- funded. ..2. A loan of 300 francs worth of agricultural implements for each 10 hectares or fraction over and above the first 10. This loan, which must be refunded in 15 years, may be increased to 2O00 francs for farm of 40 to 60 hectares.
 However, in order to encourage large families, part of this loan will be cancelled according to the number of children born after the farmer has taken possession of his allotment of land.
 In order to benefit by the loans above indicated, the applicant must apply to the Prefect of the Loire De- partment, stating: Age, situation of family, residence, the farm on which they intend to settle, with. a. state ment relative to the areas of land to be cultivated, kind Of culture, and implements required.
 To Interest Young Farmers The aim of the resolution of the Counsel General is to interest many young farmers in this scheme, and to induce those to return to the soil who have heretofore hesitated for want of financial assistance. Their reasons for deserting the farms for the mills and factories of the cities will no longer have the same force. They will be given every encouragement to stick to the soil, which sorely needs their skill and labor, and thus, by their efforts, they may contribute to the restoration of their native country. It has been suggested that if the offer were extended to include American soldiers it might be made a means of encouraging many to remain in France.

An Expensive Table

The other day a woman with a shawl over her head entered a piano dealers in a Yorkshire town and said she wanted to buy a piano. The salesman point ed out an instrument at 25 pounds thinking to settle the customers inquiries once and for all.
 But she turned disdainfully a. way, saying: Not that sort: I want real one." Amazed, the shopman showed her one at 80 or 90 pounds, but they were not nearly up to the mark.t q want one of them with the big, broad tops,"N she explained. Fairly staggered, the salesman meekly pointed to the cheapest grand" at 130 pounds. ''That's more like it," said the woman with > the shawl, and, producing a bundle of notes, She said reassuringly, "I've the brass too."
 A lady district visitor who heard of the purchase went to view the 'grand' in its new quar- ters. She found that it had been got in with some difficulty, that it practically filled the living room, but that the family regard ed it with immense pride and sat isfaction. "They can have no use for such a thing" the salesman afterward remarked to her. "Oh, yes, they have," replied the lady visitor. "They were having their dinner on it when I called"

The men at the front die many times. Take the young Artillery lia- ison officer from Topeka who had just left the dugout telephone where he had been talking for three hours and had not gone a dozen yards when the man who followed him at the mouth piece was killed by a shell. Then an- other shell dropped just outside the trench along which he was making his way.
 He heard it coming. He tried to flatten himself like cigarette paper against the trench wall. He could smell the powder, feel the heat against his face see the flash before he heard the report of the explosion which bur- jed him under an avalanche of dirt. A moment later and he could hear his friend calling out from 15 feet ahead.
 Are you all right, old man?"
 "I think I am dead" he replied.
 Afterwards, he realized that it must have sounded strange. But at the time, he had meant it. He really thought he was.
 One Infantry sergeant, badly wounded in action in Argonne, did not really come to till he woke one morn ing in snowy bed in distant hos pital. The nurse, benevolent vis- ion, was bending over him.
 Are you feeling better, Lieut.. John son?" she asked.
 He thought that over for while and then decided the voice was not part of the strange dream that had been haunting him.
 You've got me wrong miss," he said. "I'm Sergeant Johnson"
 "Oh no, you're not" said the nurse, "you were promoted while you were asleep"
 A yank entered certain divisional P. c. north of Verdun two Sundays ago and was somewhat startled to see someone sitting at table who re- minded him very much of the pictures he had seen of von Hindenburg.
 The soldier was almost frightened when the man before him said, "Vet VIII you nave T1G WASH sure IIldC he had entered an enemy P. C., but he took chance.
 When the visitor explained his mis- sion there the rather ponderous man, who wore the uniform of the United States Army and the bars of fist lieutenant, replied: "Vell, you want der captain"
 Later the soldier questioned the lieutenant about his resemblance to the owner of the late lamented line.
 "Vell, no; ain't Hindeburg - not yet. I vas in der American army init Pershing ven Perishing vas a captain. Pershing is general now, and mel am a lieutenant. Maybe, someday, if l question another million prisoners or so, maybe I am a captain"

 Sometimes he shortens it to Sam, which is at least not quite so femin- inc. Sometimes, never having exper- fenced the delights of a minstrel show, he distorts it into Sambo. L

SCOUTS PlLING UP W. S. S.

The third Liberty loan is thing Of
the past with a credit to the Boy
Scouts of America, according to incom-
plete returns now on file at national
headquarters, of 49, subscriptions
amounting to $50, 222,450.
AS cleaners after the reapers this
is record every member of the organ
ization should be proud of, and the
government is proud of the achieve
ment, for while the amount Of money
will not be so large as In the second
campaign, the number Of individual
subscriptions compared with the
money value is very much greater, and
that is exactly the result the govern
ment desired.
Gardening activities are again In
full swing, and members of the Boy
Scouts of America are lending substan-
tial aid under the slogan every Scout
to Feed d Soldier" Their untirfng en-
ergy and patriotic service in this re-
gard are a big factor in helping Uncle
Sam and his allies to win the war.
What the results will be from this
seasons activities are of course yet
to be determined, but the indications
are that the contributions from scouts
to food production and conservation
will be enormous.
The secretary of the treasury, be-
cause of the efficiency of the scouts In
the Liberty loan campaign, authorized
the issuance of 100000 special Boy
Scouts of America red post cards, so
that the scouts could make an effective
all-year canvass through the co-Opera-
ton of postmasters and mail carriers
all over the country without the risk
and res ynsibility of handling money.
The results already produced are mar
velous. and are growing in volume
every day.

CANADA HAS PLAN TO
PUT WAR TROPHIES IN
ALL PARTS OF LAND

Winnipeg, Man, Dec. 9.-Oficial as.
surance has been received from Otta.
wa that the Canadian government. will
carry out a comprehensive plan to pre-
sent every district in the dominion
with trophies of it's heroes.
Hundreds of requests have been re-
ceived in the militia headquarters for
war trophies. Official requests have
been made by provinces, municipali-
ties, public and private organizations
and prominent citizens. Many of the
trophies will be converted into memoir
|ials.
When the vast amount of war ma:
teria] is assembled and a proper divi-
sion is made, there will undoubtedly
be a very large number of trophies
shipped to Canada for preservation as
permanent memorial of the achieve
mentsof Canadian troops. An imper-
ial officer, or a committee, will be ap-
pointed to carry out such arrange
ments, and the claims of all parts OF
the country will receive consideration.
, In the meantime, a complete list OF
all stores captured by Canadian troops
is being prepared. This list will show
the location of each object, it's regis
tered number and name of the par.
ticular unit, if any, which claims its
capture. Until the available quantity
Of material and trophies of all kind,
is ascertained a scheme of the distri.
button completed, allotments of tro.
plies cannot be made.
During 1916 and 1917 two shipments
of trophies to Canada were made, and
a third one was. received in July, 1918.

dent for Justice tempered with mer-
cy" give ground for the fear that he
will thrust aside the demands Of the
people he is supposed to represent and
refuse to stand with the Allies for pro-
per punishment of individuals. Pre-
mier Lloyd George has served notice
that England will demand such a
course, and Mr.. Clemenceau of France
is understood to take the same posi-
ton.
War has it's attendent sufterings,
deaths, and devastations. When a ma
aion deliberately enters upon a war
it knows that all these consequences
will follow. But under international
laws established for many years, and
to which Germany was a subscriber,
there are certain limitations that con-
troll the actions Of individuals, of ar
mics, and Of ships. It is something
quite outside the sphere of war to sink
an unarmed passenger ship like the
Lusitania. The manning, starvation,
and crucifiction Of defenseless pris-
oners have no place in war between
civilized countries. Atrocities COM
mitted on the civilian population. of
occupied territory are expressly pro-
hibited by international covenants.
Yet individual officers and soldiers in
the Kaiser's army have committed all
these crimes. The Kaiser himself, so
far from furnishing them, has caused
medals to be struck in commemora-
ton of the sinking of the Lusitania,
and has elevated in rank some of the
most blood-thirsty of his officers.
Those acts against civilization were
entirely apart from the waging of war
served no military advantage. and
were crimes quite as much as if they
had been committed in times of peace.
The perpetrators should be appre-
hended, tried, and punished exactly as
though no val had occurred. The
American people are lovers of justice.
Their Constitution says that "cruel
and unusual punishments" shall not
be inflicted. At the same time they
insist that offenders against society
shall be made to pay the penalty fol
their acts. Americans see no reason
why the principles they apply to them
selves should not also be the guide in
the judgment of others. If Mr.. Will
son has the hardihood to advocate the
wholesale pardoning of the German
arch-conspirators against peace, de.
cency, and civilization in general, he
will have lost his prestige.
