Secretary Houston. Of the depart
ment OF agriculture. has called my at
tcntion to how we all are fooling our
selves today. The newspapers are
ooasting that the corn crop Is the
greatest in history. when In bushels It
is less than In 1915. The South think
they are rolling in wealth. when in
bales its cotton crop Ia less chan in
1915. Paper prices are no good. It's
more bushels and bales that we need
ir order to reduce the cost of living.
Some people pretend that our na-
tional debt is small by comparing II to
the crops. What Is $50. 900, 900 ,OOO.'
they say. why. that Is less than the
value OF one single crop Of the farms
Of America!" This In true; hut we
eat up most of these crops In a year.
while the debt remains with us--s2OO
for every man. woman, and child i'm
the United States.
As the farmers are fooiing them
selves BY thinking of prices and dol
lars instead OF bushels and bales. so
industry Is fooling itself by looking to
profits and wages instead of produc-
tion and saving.
The ending OF this war and our fu =
ture prosperity after the war depends
upon producing more and wasting less.
Only In this way can Kaiser Bill he
put out OF business and will the work
ers OF America come to their own.

That the drama is to a certain ex-

and Mr.. Eaton agree. In developing
his theme. Ibsen had In mind his
own romance with an eighteen year
old viennese maiden. There IL anoth-
er biographical touch. The creations
Of the Master Builder. Solness, are
symbolic Of the dramatist's own
work. Mr.. Eaton tells US that ID

The church towers Solness built are
the poets poetic dramas, the homes
for human beings are Ibsen's later

from the play Is Ibsep's hope on. and

The same old feeling and rivalry
that has existed between the two
schools In former years has again

The crowd that attended the game
according to- John L. Coburn was
the largest In the history Of the
school. He stated that practically two

At thirteen, fourteen and sixteen
the score stood even. However. at

The game was full Of thrills and

probably the most exciting game ever
witnessed In Logan.
Every man on the A. G. team was

German Birth Rate Shows
a Drop of Forty Per Cent
Since Beginning of War

The birth rate in Germany for 1916
fell off 40 per cent from the figures for
the year 1913, according to DR.. Charles
Greene CumSton of the University of
Geneva, writing in the New York Med
ical Journal.
Doctor Cumston's figures are taken
from a report prepared by the intelli-
gence department of ne local govern
ment board of Switzerland. Doctor
Cumston says in part:
During the war there has been a
heavy fall in the German birth rate.
The first three years of the war alone
reduced by more than 100000 the
number of infants who would have
been born had peace prevailed. l
would add that the infantile death rate
has been kept well down, but is so per
cent higher than in England.
The birth rate, which had risen from
361 per 1 1000 inhabitants in the decade
1S41-1S50, to 39.1 in the period 1871
1880, fell in the succeeding decades to
36.S, 36.1 and 31.9 The rate for the
last year of the decade 19O1-191O was
30 per 1000 inhabitants, and the con-
tinuance of the fall brought the rate
as low as 2S.3 in 1912. In 1913 there
were 1,839,000 live births. In Ger
many, in 1916, there were only 1,1O3,-
900, a decrease of 40 per cent as COM
pared with 1913"

Must Purchase Sugar Every
Is Days Instead of Weekly

Approximately 100000 pounds Of
sugar will be saved per year by a
new ruling of the food administration
which will prevent anyone from OBJ
tanning more than two pounds of SUI
gar per month. Many people were I'M
consciously breaking the regulations
regarding the distribution of sugar
by purchasing their sugar on the basis
of one-haIf pound per capita per week.
On this basis of four weeks to the
month there would be only 4S weeks
to the year, or 1856 days. This would
leave % days, or practically another
month, dering which sugar would be
consumed on a basis of two pounds
per capita. With a population of 1O0-
100000 people this would require
about an additional 200,000,000 pounds
of sugar. The new regulation requires
the consumer TO purchase his allot-
ment of sugar every fifteen days, or
semi-monthly, rather than every week.

Why Troops of the Kaiser
Were Given Title of "HunS"

The Huns were a brutal race of
savage people who invaded Europe
about $50, slaughtering the inhabi-
tants and destroying property. When
the kaiser sent his troops to China,
July 27, 1900, he said to them: use
your weapons in such a way that for
a thousand years no Chinese dare look
upon a German askance. Be as terri
BILE as Attila's Huns" Because of the
Germans brutality and wantOn de-
structiveness in the present war they
have been called Huns.

Balloons and Pigeons Were
Used to Carry Mail During
Siege of Paris in 1901

Although airplaneS were unknown In
1870, balloons played an important
part in the siege Of Paris, relates a
writer in New York Evening World.
So closely were the Prussian lines
drawn about the city that communica-
ton. with the outside world was cut
off. The military authorities called
upon the aeronaut DurOuf to make a
balloon flight from Paris. Carrying
$50 pounds of letters, he made the at
tempt, and after flight of three hours
landed at Evreaux, far beyond the
zone of Prussian control. A regular
mail service was then established, and
though many flights ended in disaster,
it continued until the surrender OF the
city. It was in this way that Gambret-
ia. the statesman, made his escape
from Paris to Tours, where he recruit
ed a new army, which offered a des-
perate but vain resistance to the in
vaders.
The balloon service was maintained
throughout the investment, from Sep
TENDER %, 1870, to January 2S, 1871.
Letters to be sent 'par bablonmote'
were written on very thin paper and
among the most interesting relics of
the siege are the letter journals, in
vented by LIE Petit Journal. The news
of the besieged city was printed in
very small type on one side of a thin
letter sheet and the other side OF the
sheet was left blank for personal COM
municationS. About a score of Paris
papers issued these novel sheets, and
practically all letters were written on
them.
Getting letters into the beleaguered
city presented q more difficult problem,
but this was partially solved by send
ing carrier pigeons out with the bal
looms. Letters and dispatches were
photographed and so reduced that a
single pigeon homing it's way to Paris
often carried thousands of dispatches
in a quill attached to it's tail. One
pigeon carried to Paris dispatches rep
resenting 100000 francs in postage.
