 France, Spain and Italy were the first European countries to adopt the umbrella, which came to them from the Orient, where it had been used for centuries and was consid- cred symbol of royalty and dignity. In England, as on this side of the At lantic, the umbrella was at first greeted with scorn. Jonas Hanway, the philanthropist, is said to have been the first Englishman who gen. erally used an umbrella in the streets of London. The umbrella was bitter ly denounced by the hackney coach men, who carried on prosperous business on rainy days, and who fear ed that general adoption of the ad- vice would work injury to their trade.
 Some eight years after the first umbrella had been introduced into America John Mcdonald, London footman, wrote an autobiography in which he remarked that he possessed "a fine silk umbrella," which he brought from Spain.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
 OF WAR TIME AGRICULTURE

Dr. Seaman A. Knapp once ren- dered momentous service to the cause of agricultural progress by summarizing in ten brief sentences the fundamentals of good farming; and for thousands of people ever since, Dr. Knapp's "Ten Command ments of Agricultur" have stood out like beacon lights in an ocean-strom of language. As this new year be- gins-the first new year in more than half century, which has found America at war-it has seemed to us that someone might render a sim liar service by analyzing the count less appeals that have been made to our people, and then epitomizing the supreme things which America asks of the farmer in this crisis-"The Ten Commandments of Wartime Agriculture, let us call them. We believe the ten things mentioned be- low indicate as briefly as it is possi- ble to do the main things which America asks of the Southern farmer: 1. That he plant a maximum acreage in food crops. 2. That he strive for maximum productiveness of every acre. 3. That he equip and inspire ev- ery farm worker for maximum eff ciency.
 4. That he arrange for maximum production of meat and dairy pro- ducts.
 5. That he double garden produc- tion.
 6. That all women and children be enlisted in canning and poultry rais- ing.
 2. That every member of the fam l fly aid food conservation. 8. That wise and profitable mar keting of crops be promoted as stim- ulus to increased production. g. That economy and thrift be practiced and the resultant savings lent to America.
 10. That all schools, all farmers organizations, and all business mems organizations cooperate to give 100 per cent efficiency to this program The Progressive Farmer.

FIRST UMBRELLA IN AMERICA.

It was 148 years ago that an um- brella was first seen on the streets o1 an American city. Baltimore has the honor of introducing that most useful contrivance. To the hardy Maryland CTS of that period the umbrella was an effeminate device, and the man who first carried one was hooted and jeered
 The Baltimore umbrella was a French importation, crude and heavy, and bore slight resemblance to the umbrella as "a portable penthouse to

SLACKERS, PLEASE READ.

An Arkansas boy in the 153rd In- 4antry has set an example of devo- tion to country that should appeal to many of those who are endeavoring by all possible means to secure re- lease from the military service. He has addressed the following letter to the adjutant general.
 "I received your letter regarding m application for my discharge from the service. l knew nothing of this application until I received your let ter today, and I do not want to be discharged. have never, since the day enlisted, entertained the slight est wish to be discharged. I have all ways liked the military service and it is my hope to stay in the army until our organization is mustered out.
 Moreover, sir, my enlistment was not secured by any concealment of my age. I was minor at the time I en- listed (April 13, 1917), but my fath- CT gave his written consent to my en- listment.
 ssI thank you, sir, for your letter of information, and again assure you that I am anxious to do my share of the great, noble task our nation has undertaken"
 There are many retail salesmen and other employees of local stores who gay they intend to take advantage of the added hour of daylight and pro- duce garden for their families. This is one of the purposes for which the daylight savings act was passed, and all good and patriotic Americans will do their trading early in order that their employees may make the most of their new privilege.

 There were large congregations at all the churches yesterday, Easter. The church, during this period of the worlds history, is charged with a great responsibility, and the mem- bcrship is directly responsible for it's accomplishments. Everyone should not only find time now to go to church, but everyone should feel the necessity of prayer, prayer for the sake of the world.
 There will be big doings in New port and Jackson county on tho morn ing of the 9th. That is when the Liberty Loan drive opens. The man or woman who fails to contribute a share to the big start will not find sympthy in this part of the world, but will be conspicuous by reason of their disloyalty.
 And this morning was such fine time to sleep, too.
