STIRRED UP FRENCH VILLAGE
Yank's Experiment With Long Stopped
Clock Caused Considerable Con-
sternation for Time.

The "Yanks" in France are main
tanning the traditions OF America all
right, but they have upset at least one
letter from young sergeant at the
front to the Washington Star.
He writes that after living In sta
bles, brick factories and chicken houses
they are now quartered for short
time in a beautiful and historic cha
tenu. 1t Is connected with stories of
Napoleon and Joan OF Arc, and Rich
held prisoner in its dungeon, which is
below the rivers bed and has but one
entrance. The Yanks have had much
pleasure In their new home and have
acquainted themselves with many in
teresting bits of French history.
over the entrance to the chateau Is
large clock which tradition says was
stopped by Napoleon and has not
struck since-untll the other day, some
curious Yank wanted to try 1t out, and
put his fingers In 1t. The clock was
connected with bells above the arch
way and when the timepiece was start
ed the bells commenced to ring. as loud
and clear as though they had been
rung every day since Napoleon left the
abode. With all his ingenuity the
Yank could not silence them as quick
ly as he had set them tinkling, and II
Yank can be embarrassed the bell
ringer was when the curate and vii
layers gathered in the courtyard
There were exclamations of surprise
and wonderment from the crowd, but
they seemed relieved to find real
nesh-and-blood American as bell ringer.

REDUCING Fire Dancer.

The fire hazard should be considered
in the location and construction of all
new farm buildings. Many groups of
farm buildings are so located and con-
structed 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 it is worth while at least to
consider placing it where it will be
reasonably safe from fire starting in
any other building and where 1t Will
not be menace to other buildings.
Concrete construction is being used
on many farms. and 1t is especially
desirable for smokehouses, incubator
rooms, and any other small buildings
which are exceptionally subject to loss
by fire. The first cost of well-con-
structed concrete building generally
will be greater than that of wood
building of the same size, but the con-
crete will last practically forever, and
will seldom need paint or repairs.
A fire in such a building can do but
slight damage to the building itself.
and there is very little likelihood of
its spreading to any of the adjoining
buildings.

Thousands upon thousands of women

Womens complaints often prove to be

health to the kidneys proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should

ceived from town women who have
seen them in neighbors' homes.
These are not all the publications. Of
the department. During the war a
number of circulars and pamphlets
having a direct bearing on winning
the struggle are being issued. Then
there are the professional bulletins,
dealing in less popular form with re-
searches into the science of agricul-
ture. In addition there are several
serial publications and the annual re-
ports and other congressional publica-
tions, including the department year
book and reports of soil surveys.
The policy of reducing in size and
making more readable has been ex-
tended through all these classes.
Lists of available bulletins, from
which selections can be made, will be
sent to interested persons on request
to the department.

Clean Tn Garden.

If you had trouble with potato bugs,
cutworms. or plant diseases this sea-
son you can do a great deal toward
controlling these pests next year by
giving the garden n thorough house
cleaning this fall. Many kinds of in
sects that feed on garden crops and
diseases that affect vegetables pass
through the winter protected by or on
the remains of the plants. Old cab
bage stalks, tomato vines and similar
material should be collected and burn
ed. The ground itself should be spad-
ed and sowed to rye or crimson Glow
er, or If neither of these crops can be
planted the ground should be allowed
to lie rough SO that freezing will de-
stIoy as many insects as possible.

operatIe Experiment Failed.

After nearly three years of effort
to adapt successfully the French and
Italian operas to the japanese tongue,
Signor Rosi has rung down the curtain
at his theater in Tokyo. His net loss
on the experiment Is $4,000. On the
final night, "Traviata" was given with
native singers. and was well attended
After the close Of the performance
creditors attached the scenery and
wardrobes. Slgnor Rosi has been more
than six years in Japan, and Is per-
sonnlly popular. Deep regret is ex-
pressed by the public at his misfor-

ed his theater gratultonsly for many
charitable performances.-East and

CORN A CHAMPION CROP

Corn, on a given area, will pro-
duce more human food than any
other crop commonly grown on
American farms. This crop
heads the list in units of energy
produced per acre, and is ahead
of all other crops except navy
beans and soy beans in tissue
building material. In the latter
element soy beans far outclass
all other crops, showing nearly
twice as much protein per acre
as navy beans, which rank sec
ond in this regard.
The dairy COW is the most eff
Client of farm animals In the pro-
duction of human food (milk)
and the hog Is the most efficient
in the conversion of grain into
meat, producing five times as
much per acre of crops as does
any other animal.
These facts and others are
told in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture's Farmers
Bulletin S77, Human Food
From an Acre of Staple Farm
Products" which gives an acre

value of various crops and an

Commercial Aims Of Japan.
The war thoughts of Japan are not
confined to the present. They have a
shrewd eye upon future possibilities
after the war Is over. The total gold
holdings of Japan stood mt 1.050, ,00O,-
900 yen (S527, ,500.000) at the end OF
February, according to the statement
of the imperial finance department.
The Inst meeting of the Yokohama
Specie bank March % reported net
profits of 50O00000 yen (S25, ,OO0.OOO)
for the previous half year. Japan's
foreign trade Is booming.
THE commerce and industry of
Japan have witnessed remarkable
progress In recent years" says Dr. Min.
oru Okla, chief of the imperial bureau
of commerce and Industry; foreign
trade has especially experienced un-
precedented expansion. The most i'm
portaht question for Japan now is how
to maintain and consolidate the posi-
tion already attained, with special ref
erence to the possibility of successful
ly competing with foreign countries
after the war.
"The time has now arrived for or
ganlzing a combination or League OF
captains Of commerce and industry In
Japan, in order to present united
font In the approaching competition.
Now is the time and the opportunity
for every line of Japanese manufacture
to lay the foundation of future prog
ress; and If they do not see that this
is done by insisting upon insurlng
proper quality In output and satisfac-
tory dealings with their customers,
they will lose the markets now open
to them. and all through their own
fault. This Is, In fact, crucial period
for Japanese commerce and industry.
IT'S fate will now be decided, and the
decision lies In the hands of our mer-
chants and manufacturers. Once the
opportunity Is lost. 1t will never re-
turn"

BUILDING OF GOOD HIGHWAYS
Federal Aid Road Act Exerts Impor.
tant Influence on Legislation
in Many States.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Federal-aid road projects, unques-
tionably, are ready for construction in
every state this year. Under the fed
eral-aid road act Of 1916 every state
in the Union is now in a position to
cooperate with the federal govern.
ment in the building of highways.
Results Of far-reaching Importance
and OF even greater potential value
than the appropriation of federal
funds have already been accomplished
by the federal act. Among the impress
sive results is the establishment out
right of state highway departments in
Delaware, South Carolina, Texas, In
diana and Nevada and the strength
ening Of other state highway depart
ments so as to remove all question as
to the 16 states which were not quail
fled to obtain federal cooperation at
the time of the passage of the federal
act.
In the past winter more construc-
tive state highway legislation has been
placed upon statute books than has
ever been enacted in any similar
period since the American republic
was founded. The conditions laid
down by the federal act as necessary
to participate in its benefits operated
powerfully to bring about the estab-
lishment and Strengthening of state
highway departments, the placing OF
vast amount Of road construction
under skilled supervision, the sys-
tematizing and correlation of road
