Legend Of AIsaee.

There is quaint old legend Of
Alsace. concerning a family Of giants
who, once upon a time, lived In GER
tain castle in certain valley Of the
old country. The moral Of the story
seems appropriate at time when the
French minister Of agriculture, to men
ton but one Of the allies, Is making
special effort to encourage the cult
walton Of land.
The giants lived, says the legend.
far from the peasants Of the plain.
and one day the daughter Of the house,
who, though quite child. was already
80 feet high, strolled toward the plain
and saw a laborer peacefully blowing
his field. She picked up the peasant,
the horse and the plow and put them
In her pinafore and returned to the
castle to show what she had found to
her father.
"What you think is but toy" said
the giant, sis what produces the food
which enables us to live. Put back the
laborer and his horse where you found
them" From that time onward, adds
the tale. the peasants were never more
molested by the giants.-Christian
Science Monitor.

Farmers Withdrawing
Petitions For Seed

Stanton, N. D.. March 4.-The Mer-
Ger county commission. is meeting
again today, to consider application
for aid under the new seed and feed
bonding act from Mercer county
farmers. One hundred petitions
awaited the consideration Of the
board when it met a week ago. When
they learned, however, hat they must
give a first lien on their farm and
other possessions, including crop. as
security. for the seed and feed adj
vanced by the county, a number of the
farmers changed their minds. A
number of petitions were also filed
asking hat the county not be bond
ed and asserting that there is an
abundance of seed in the county. 1t
was alleged that County Auditor Kari
Semmler, seeking to make political
capital of the new bonding act. had
mailed printed applications for aid,
with his petition n a print of him
self enclosed, to farmers, bankers,
businessmen and laborers, broadcast
over the county. A number Of farm
ers who had returned these petitions
signed explained to the board that
they did it as a matter Of course, be-
lieving that only their personal notes
would be needed as security for the
seed and feed. Ferdinand Oelke. a
prosperous farmer Of the Krem coun-
try. addressed the board in opposition
to bonding. declaring it entirely un-
necessary.
