English sparrows destroyed many
lettuce beds last season. 1t has been

drive them away. Sound frightens
the sparrow more than sight. Another
remedy is fresh horse manure spread
around the edge of your lettuce bed.
1t will interest the birds so much that
they will not disturb the lettuce.

an attitude that amounts almost to
religious eXaltation, the woman of
France bears the burden.
Now, conditions being as they are,
does it lie within the heart of the
American people to preserve and hold
to every convenience of our life at
the expense Of adding an additional
burden to the womanhood of France?
This is the exact question that is in
volved in our substitution of other
cereals in place of wheat.
The women of France must be en-
abled to hold up the morale of the
French soldier until next spring The
morale of the house decides the mo-
rale of the soldier in the fighting
line. We can do this by giving to
them the greatest possible freedom
in their food supply, and of this,
wheat is the chief factor.

My words are not powerful enough
to do even scanty justice to the most
heroic figure in the modern world,
and of ages past-the woman of
France. Of the healthy men who are
engaged in the military service in
France, practically all are engaged
either in transportation or in the man
ufacture of munitions, leaving the ag-
riculture absolutely to the women. Not
only this, but they have stepped into
the place of work animals; you can
go into any section of France today
and see women of magnificent, noble
womanhood hitched to the plow and
cultivating the soil. All of the agri-
culture rest upon their shoulders. The
home, always an extremely efficient
home, maintains a few old men, the
wounded, and the tubercular. I'm
complaining, with high devotion, with

every day we can hear Fritz's shells
humming overhead and to the right
and left and see them explode and
sometimes they are close enough in
deed. We have built us all dugout
and are living in them in the night,
but in the daytime we live above the
ground. We see the infantry in the
evening stringing along on their way
to the front line trenches to fight the
enemy. They string along in single
file short distance apart and they
remind one of cattle going to water.
We feel sorry for the infantry or
doughboys as they are commonly call
ed. 1t seems like they do most of
the fighting, but when an artillery
man gets killed he is usually bowed
all to pieces. The weather is fine
now and the nights cool, but | can't
sleep very sound because of the hum
of Fritz's shells and the noise of our
own guns and the terrible noise of the

and as we pass through the villages
we see them in ruins. We also see
dead horses along the roadside and

OUR SOLDIER DEAD


Beneath the slopes where Caesar led
In battles dimmed with the ages sped;
Under the soil of generous France
Sacred in story of lily and lance;
Under the sod Of nation true,
Under its skies Of cloud and blue
There sleep our dead.
Under the tri-color's red and white,
Gloriously bathed in freedoms fight;
Under Old Glorys stripes and stars,
Enriching the air with its stainless bars
Under the banner of stars and Skies
Under the flowers where valor lies
There sleep our dead.
Adhered in hearts across the sea,
Enshrining deathless memory;
Under a nations thanks and praise,
Dauntless in faith through death-filled days.
Under the echoes of victory's cheers
Under the dews of nations tears
There sleep our dead
Under the shield of Gods right hand,
Keeping the borders of freedoms land
Under his wakeful watch and ward,
Guarding their dust with freedoms sword
Under his care and grace and love,
Under his blessings from above
There sleep our dead.

peace time beauty. One thing among
many other things we're the narrow
streets and the utter lack Of plan or
system in building the city, and yet in
way this adds 10 its beauty. The
streets are all bordered with trees, as
are the roads out In the country. There
are many American officers and men
here and in most Of the larger stores
there are from two TO five clerks who
can speak American. The large hotels
and restaurants have menus printed in
English, many street signs are in Eng
lish and at every hand are signs of
Americanism. The customs in so many
ways are different than ours and in
many ways what we consider az poor
manners and poor breeding, they look
on as a matter of fact and quite In
line with their general scheme Of daily
life and customs of living.
One thing that impressed me very
strongly in Paris was the way the
French women dress. They lead the
world In fashions by virtue Of their
superiority in this line and the women
surely know how to dress and match
colors to the extent that they look
wonderfully well and the colors that
many wear. though bright, are so
blended that they are not fashy.
Most Of the French people have very
pretty eyes and compilations, but de-
tract from their beauty, as do many
of the American women, by painting
their cheeks, rouging their lips and
their eyes until in many IN
stances they look ike two burned
holes in blanket. But just as they
dress artistically so do they paint and
rouge their faces, but TO the extreme.

try. in most instances the soldier sell
