MANY AMERICAN
SOLDIERS WED
FRENCH GIRLS

Correspondence of The AS
ISOLATED Press) LET me give you
little advice" says a writer in address
ing himself to the maidens Of France.
there are many Americans in France
and you know very well how charming
they find you. They find our women
more disposed to be fellow workers
with them than those OF other coun-
tries, they appreciated you highly, but,
my dear little French girls. you must
not be frivolous. Americans are grown
up children, somewhat ingenious,
trif1e Puritan and quite ready to mar
ry you, and an American husband and
French wife make an excellent mar
ried couple. So do not waste the
chance of that marked purity which is
so seldom found among the men of
ancient Europe"
Another writer, in the Petit Journal,
welcomes the report that American
French marriages are becoming very
common, as excellent from the idyllic
and sentimental point of view also for
the fusion of the two races, but ex
presses some anxiety as to its effect
on the repopulation of France. He fears
that when the war is over the Ameri-
can husbands will carry away their
French wives across the Atlantic and
France will lose that many Households,
a loss that the country is in no condi-
ton to stand
The writer quotes a letter that he
has received from a French girl, en-
gagged to an American, in which she
says that she has laid down no condi-
tons in accepting the proposal but
had made her fiance understand tina.
after the war there would be work for
everyone in France and so he had
promised TO remain in France and II
children came they should be French
citizens.
There's a good example COM
ments an article. let all French
girls follow 1t. America will not be
perceptibly poorer and France will be
enriched 1t is one more kind act that
we can beg from our allies and one
they are not likely TO refuse"

BUSINESS CHANGES ITS VIEWPOINT

Probably no such revolutionary change in
freight rates ever has been made as that put
into effect by order of the railroad admnistra-
ton. 1t is significant of changed attitude to-
ward the railway interests of this country on the
part of business, says the Iron Trade Review
After years of struggles to obtain lower rates
and strenuous resistance to the efforts of rail-
gained, systematic effort to keep freight rates
as low as possible, business in the United States
calmly accepts an advance of about 25 per cent
on existing rates. Scarcely protest is heard
and the entire program, transcending anything
imagined in the rosiest dream of railway Of
fetal seeking to keep up service on starvation
traffic income, has gone through without slip
In ordinary times the consumer would have
paid the added impost-in the days when in
creased rates were fought. AT present much of
the increase will be borne by the producer who
can not pass the increased cost of raw mate
rails along to his customer since his price is
fixed by the government at limit he can not
pass. The increased rate on the manufacturers
finished product for carrying it to the consumer
will fall on the latter. So the burden is better
distributed than formerly was the case
But the temper of the nation of business men
is shown nowhere better than in the ready ac-
ceptance of the conditions, without protest
and in full understanding that the added income
is deemed necessaryto maintenance of adequate
transportation service.

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW


President Wilson has just promulgated rules
governing the killing of migratory birds, under
he treaty recently entered into between the
United States and Canada, which of much
arrest to sportsmen and dealers in game. Under
ne regulations based on the new law enacted to
i've full effect to the treaty, there is no Spring
,pen season. and the Fall open season is made
aore uniform throughout the country. The sew
eral states have the right under the act to make
md enforce their own regulations when these
ire not inconsistent with the federal rulings, but
such state regulations may act only to afford adj
ditional protection to migratory birds, and not
to extend the open seasons beyond those pro-
muIgated, nor to authorize methods of taking
birds not sanctioned in the federal act
The uniform open season in general covers the
period between Sept. / and Jan. 81, with Pc
for additional species. The sale of migratol j
birds is prohibited except of those propagated
under permits issued by the secretary of agri-
culture and uniform bag limits are set for the
entire country. Sportsmen may not ship more
than two days bag limit in any calendar week.
Provision is made for the collection of birds
for scientific purposes, and under extraordinary
conditions federal permits may be issued to kill
migratory birds should they become injurious
to agriculture
Liberal provisions are included also for the
propagation of migratory waterfowl game
farms and preserves, and the sale of birds so
bred and reared is authorized as part Of the
program for increasing the food supply. This
paves the way for building up industry which
has already shown possibilities of marked sue
cess Many species of waterfowl can be profit
ably raised in captivity, either on land unsuited
to farming or in connection with other farm
operations.
The new law gives continuous protection to
all insectivorous BIRDS bandtailed pigeons
cranes wood ducks, and elder ducks, swans, cur
lew, upland pover, and all shorebirds, except the
black-belied and golden plovers, Wilson snipe, or
jacksnipe, woodcock, and the greater and lesser
yelloWlegs, and to certain non-game birds, such
as auks, gulls, grebes, guemots, herons, looms,
puffins, terms, and the like. No night hunting
is allowed, the killing or capturing of migratory
birds between sunset and half hour before sun
rise being prohibited.
AS result, the sale of wild migratory game
birds is forbidden throughout the United States

AID WHEAT PRODUCTION AND
CONSERVATION

The demand for food products this fail and
winter will be larger than ever before, says the
State Marketing Bureau. Millions of men
and boys have been withdrawn by the from
the ranks of production and have become con-
sumers. They must be fed.
Wheat -four is certain to be scarce, it may be
limited in supply if it is not entirely denied to
the people of Florida, unless they grow some on
their own account.
Wheat is about the only cereal that can be
safely shipped abroad. 1t has been demon
strated that wheat will grow in sections of West
Florida.
A couple of acres of wheat on each farm where
it will grow, on land with clay subsoils should
result in the production of couple of million
bushels. That would help greatly.
Now is the time TO prepare for it. The United
States department of agriculture, will supply
definite instructions for planting. Seed grown
in neighboring states of the South is best
adapted to our conditions.
The carry crop of wheat in this country
at this time is the smallest on record. The needs
of this country and of our allies must be met
and there are problems confronting us in
weather probabilities, in shipping dangers, in
labor scarcity, and in the losses inflicted by the
depredations of insect and rodent pests. The
conditions to the strictest economy and
the utmost endeavor in production

More and more it will become question of food.

We must produce and conserve. There is no
