Saving Cancelled Stamps Not Yet
Red Cross Activity.

The Red Cross wishes to advertise
as widely as possible that it has no
use for cancelled postage stamps.
There has been a report that the Red
Cross had devised a method of eX-
tracing the dyes from stamps that
had served their original purpose,
and the postoffice department states
that several bags of old stamps have
accumulated through the good will
of persons who believed they were
doing something to help win the war.
The last bulletin of the. A. R. C. pos
itively asserts that, so far as the
Red Cross is concerned, cancelled
stamps are utterly without value Of
any sort.

AMERICANS ROUGR|NG
THE HUN BARBAR|ANS
German Savagery Infuriates Our
Fighters and the Foe
Bears the Brunt.

London, Aug. 9.-Colonel Rooscvelt's s
advice of mot to hit soft" is hardly
needed by the American troops between
Scissors and Rheims, says Reuter- s CORES
pondcnt on the American front. There
has been no soft hitting on the part of the
Americans thus far nor any inclination
in that dire ction.
"Thc Germans asked for n rough war
andS by heaven, we are here to see that
they get it, is the remark of one Ameri-
can soldier reported by the correspondent
who says that the Germans who fought in
the Marine salient doubtlessly realize
that fact.
"If, however" the correspondent con-
tinues, German officers instead of telling
their men lies about American barbarians
would refrain from acts which produce
a white heat of American hostility, 1t
would he more to their advantage. The
vast bulk of American soldiers are home
men. Gentle and kindly things, recalling
their own homes in the West, appeal to
them as nothing else does. and the awful
ruin of the French homes past which they
have been marching mule upon mile and
hour after hour has seemed more distress
ing to many of them than their own losses.
"Thcv accept the ruin as inevitable,

of the doubt, but when in clearing UP
these ruins they come upon Indisputable
evidence of Tcutonic savagery, it has a

the dolls laid around it, each with his
face ground into the floor, by nailed

There were much more horrible
things in the house things beyond de-
scription-but the American rightly pick
ed that out as most characteristic and
most dastardly. With a look on his face
that would have warned any opponent
to keep his distance, the American said:

CROPS GREAT ENOUGH
To FEED ALL ALLIES
Yields Greater Than Last Year,
Despite Unfavoring Con-
ditions of Weather.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 0.--Bumper
crops of almost every foodstuf grown on
the farm were Indicated again yesterday in
the Department of Apriculture's monthly
crop report, despite falling off in the
prospective production i'll practically all
crops during July due to adverse condl-
tions. principally hot and dry weather
In round figures the loss to farmers Of
this prospective production is roughly
estimated at almost $3.50, 200, ,000--nore
than $3.50. 600, 900 in the principal grain
and food crops, and $3.50 000,0 900 in cot
ton.
Practically every crop is growing on
larger acreage this year than that plant
ed last year, indicating that the farmers
have been making strenuous efforts to
meet the heavy needs of the Allies and
the increasing demands at home for food
stuffs.
CORN WORST SUFFERER.
Corn, the country's greatest crop, was
the heaviest sufferer from the dry and
hot weather of July, losing III 900, 900
bushels in prospective production since
the first production forecast was made
from June conditions. The monetary
loss TO corn growers is around S275,-
900 900. From most every part of the
country there came reports that corn
this year is from two to three weeks
ahead of its average condition, indicat-
ing that practically all of the crop will
mature before the dates of first frost.
That conditions should assure the mini
mum injury from frost damage.
MORE WHEAT THAN LAST YEAR.
Wheat. the harvesting of which is
nearing completion, suffered loss of
l3, 600 900 bushels, yet the crop will
he much larger than last year 8 and
also bigger than the average OF the five
years before that.
Drought and heat made inroads on
potatoes, causing loss of $1,000, 600
bushels in the prospective crop, and
sweet potato production loss was esti-
mated at half that quantity. A notable
exception in the forecasts was that of
tobacco, which showed an increase of
Al 900, 900 pounds in the prospective
crop over the forecast made in July.

FRENCH THRIFT.

If France lacks the business enterprise
of Germany and England she has an un-
failing economic asset in her famousthrift.
While the peasants and industrial laborers
have been paying 100 per cent more for
living expenses than before the war, and
while they have been taking up liberty
loans they have at the same time been in
creasing their deposits in some savings
banks, and think their total deposits.
For culture, in the deepest sense, France
stands at the head of the great nations,
and real culture cannot exist without
economy. Waste is barbarism. A French
man would despise the waste that many
of our people take for freedom and mag
nificence.-N Hapgood in Leslie's.
