Here Is hard nut for some solon
TO crack. After the breaking of an en-.
gagement, can the young man take
back the ring he gave the girl and
be arrested for stealing It? He can,
for that is what has happened to a
Brooklyn youth. But whether he can
be convicted of grand larceny is q
question that is causing concern to
several magistrates. The prisoner
pleaded not guilty to the charge made
by his former fiancee, and the case
will require some deep thinking by
the magistrates before they render a
decision.

Our Wounded Come Home.

While sorrow, travelling by cable,
comes from France to many New Eng
land homes whose sons crossed the sea
J to make the supreme sacrifice, another of
the grim phases of war is brought near
10 us with the arrival in Boston of the
/ first group Of wounded soldiers from
France consigned to hospitals in this
city.
There are comparatively few in this
first group of sufferers to come to us /:
( comparatively few as judged by the
Homecoming of troop trains and ships in
France and England. But others are GER
tain to follow.
To-day our boys are in the thick of
the fighting. They have helped to drive
the invaders from the Marine, and are
still driving them back from the ground
on which they were stopped two months
ago by other gallant American troops.
Some Of those just arrived were wound
ed In the memorable engagements around
Chateau Thierry, when the German dash
toward Paris spent its force against a
wall Of steel
Already, from the new fields of battle,
have come reports of casualties. New
England, always In the forefront when
liberty is at stake, can claim many of
these dead ard wounded heroes as her
own.
But she stands ready for the test,
Like France, like England like Italy
and bleeding Belgium, her people, too,
will bear their part with courage and
fortitude. Great though the sacrifice
may be, long though the line of graves
may grow across the fields of France,
many the sufferers sent back to free,
d9ms land, New England America
will not finch.
From these first wounded who have
come back to us may be learned lesson.
in spite of pain, there is smile on their
lips. 1t Is all for liberty.-Boston Globe.

HOW TO PRODUCE
MAXIMUM WHEAT YIELD

Early blowing and the preparation
of a good seeded, fertilizers, good va
rieties, control of hessian fly and smut
are the principal means of increasing
the wheat yield, and increasing is
profitably. To do their part in win
ming the war, farmers must increase
the production of wheat. This in
creased production can be brought
about in either or both of two general
ways: by increasing the wheat acre
age, and by increasing the yield per
acre. The increase in acreage, how
ever, that is practicable under pres
ent conditions is not very large. The
shortage of labor and the demand for
heavy production of corn are the
main factors that will prevent con-
tinued large increase in the acreage
of wheat. The gain must come from
an increased yield per acre. To pro-
duce this gain, according to the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri,
culture, better methods of production
must be used.

SUGAR CONSERVATION

It is necessary to conserve sugar
during these canning months, because
we need the ships which bring sugar
from distance into this country, for
other purposes.
Our domestic sugar crop is smaller
than we expected. The submarines
have sunk ships containing sugar.
In order to take care of the needs,
of our Army and Navy and to give
to our Allies the amount they must
have, which is less than we keep for
ourselves, these things arc neces-
sary.
As no person should use no more
than "a of pound of sugar per week,
this includes sugar used in all forms
of food. The canning and preserving
in the household should be done in
such way as to use the least possi-
BILE amount Of sugar. If we think our
allotment of sugar is small, let US
compare it with the allotment of other
countries. We have three pounds Of
sugar apiece each month. The Eng
lish may have two pounds of sugar
apiece each month. The French one
pound each month, when they can get
it. The Italians one pound of sugar
apiece each month.
How Sugar May be Saved: BY
using sweet dried fruit, as dates, rails
ins and figs, to sweeten deserts and
cereals, and in place of candy. By US
ing honey, syrups, maple sugar and
molasses to sweeten desserts and
beverages, in making cakes, cookies,
frosting, and as far as possible, IN
canning and preserving. By canning
fruits without sugar and by making
fruit pastes when the natural sugar
will give most of the sweetness. BY
emitting sugar from tea, coffee and
cereals, or, if it is used, by mixing it
completely with the food and eating
all of it.
If a recipe calls for one cup of SUI
gar use in it's place any one of the
following: one cup of honey, or 1 1-3
cups of corn syrup. If honey or syr-
up is used, the amount of liquid called
for in the recipe must be reduced Ia
cup for every cup of honey or syrup
used.

THE WAR AFTER THE WAR

The sentiment in favor of a strong
COMMERCIAL union among the allied ma
tions after the war appears to be
growing both in strength and defini-
ton. There is involved in the idea
something more than the notion that
Germany is to be curbed or punished
by boycott or by exclusion from the
usual rights extended to nations at
peace. What is wanted is some plan
that will care for the suffering people
of the invaded countries.
The end of the war will find them
impoverished and without means TO
rebuild their demolished homes and
factories. In all open international
market there will be arraycd against
them all of the neutral countries,
nearly all of which have been grow
ing rich as result of the war, and
there will be German industry which
is powerfully organized and has be-
hind it the full support and co-opera-
ton of the government.
One of the great concerns of Ger
man statcsman3hip today is economic
preparation for peace. The German

ufacturers, whose supplies have long
been exhausted as the result of the
blockade, and to this demand will be
added e large demand among the
more fortunate of the Allies. Those
who need the most and deserve the
most will be the least able to win in
the scramble.
For their protection and for the
sake of justice to them some arrange
ment must be made through which de-
serving want shall come before greed
This is reason enough for planning
a commercial union after the war, ant
to that reason must be added all th'

POULTRY WISDOM

We periodically trust that all pro-
ducers of poultry have separated, eat
en-, canned or sold the male birds and
by so doing have eliminated their an
nual contribution to Missouri's five
million dollar loss on bad eggs. With
this result accomplished it means our
early cockerels must be preserved for
next years breeders. Failure to do
this will result in hardships next
spring or the necessity of using late
Matched, understood cockerels. Toe
many sell the early Matched cockerels
because prices are inviting, leaving
the inferior ones to breed from. Sepa.
rate few of your earliest, quick de-
veloping cockerels for your vigorous
breeders next year.
Market all other cockerels as soor
as they reach good broiler size. ThS
price is better, feed is conserved anC
the pullets are given a better oppor.
tunity to develop into profitable fal
and winter layers. In selling surplui
cockerels, bear in mind it is not pro
fitable to keep weak, poorly developed
pullets, characterized by sleepy eyes
and indolent habits; long beaks ant
narrow heads; split wings and lonl
slim shanks, and these pullets SHOULD
also be disposed of because they will
be prone to disease, and poor produc
ton.

A LETTER HOME

Dear Heart, some day, when l come
back
Across the night that blurs our view;
When l have found the long lost track
That leads again to home and you;
When | have stalked across this stencil
Of filth and mud and clotted gore,
To see beyond the last lone trench
Old dreams rise through the mist once
more
Well know, beyond those bloodshot
scenes,
That leave their wake of blight and
pain
Just what an old-time twilight means
When dusk steals out some friendly
lane,
And, hand in hand, hOme-bound we
drift,
Beyond the mangled and the dead,
To watch once more the old moon lift
It's silver etchings on ahead
To meet the darkness without fear
Of what tomorrow's fate may bring;
To reach and find the other near
Through springs eternal wandering,
And know, at last, our ways are one,
Are one forever and day,
Until we meet the last dim sun
That leads US on the outbound way.
Well know just what it means to see
A far light glowing through the gray,
Dim dusk of April's witchery;
When I come back again-some day
A light from homeland not the flow
OF battle flame from darkness hurled,
A light from home that sends its glow
To two lost lovers down the world.
Dear Heart, I've found Out Here, at
| last,
We've never understood before;
The happiness that we thought past
It but a breath of what's in store
Far from the cannon, wheel to wheel,
That tear apart the midnight hue
The dawn of life that we will feel,
Dear Heart, when l come back to you.

115th Field Artillery, A. E. F.

"The department greatly apprec-
