Lenend Of Alsace..

There is a quaint old legend Of
Alsace concerning a Family of giants
who, once upon a time, lived in a GER,
tain castle. in a certain valley Of the.
old country. The moral of the story
seems appropriate at a time when the.
French nsinister of agriculture, to men,
ton but one Of the allies, is making
special effort to encourage the eulti~
walton Of land.
The giants lived, says the legend
far from the peasants of the plain,
and n day the daughter of the house.
who, though quite q child, was already
30 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
cher father.
"What you think is but a toy" said
the giant, sis what produces the food
which enables us to live. Put back the
lnborer and his horse where you found

the tale, the peasants were never more
