May 10, IL .. n.
One of the most strikingly interest
ing speakers of the many that have
been touring this country during the
past year, is Miss Marie Won Gastell.
She is . native of Belgium. and was a,
school when the Huns. without . mo

treaty. and made rush through that
country. in their dash on Paris. Miss
Gastell walked out the school room tc
a hospital, to nurse her wounded coun-
trymen. She was in the seige Of Ant
werp and was captured BY the Germans,
but she was recaptured by her own
troops, but ~ she had been wounded
she made her way to England and re-
manned long in hospital to recover.
Her experience with the theacherous
and brutal Huns is . thrilling nsrrs-
tive, which she relates in most force
full and fascinating manner. She has
been in the United States-for . wear.
in government work, and she has sure

Corn and Cotton Should be Properly
Trimmed.
The most important field work
neglected by most farmers at this
time is thinning corn and cotton. |
A mistake made by the average
planter year after year is toI
leave corn too thick and cotton
too thin on the ground.
Corn in six foot rows and two
feet apart in the row leaves
plenty stalks to make forty BUSH
els to the acre. If the land is
not strong enough to make that
amount a normal season then
hin it more. Otherwise the|
olant-food will be used in making I
talk instead of going into the
ar. Nearly all rows are run
loser than six feet accordingly
he stalks In thesrow should bsl5
eft farther apart. On fertilej /
oil the stalks should be left closer
n poor land farther apart than
he twelve square feet per stalk
above. Thin corn
nough to make good ears in dry | s

rop will be AL thet 6et{ef. 9
hould it be left so thick on thel
round that a heavy precipitation
nil be required to make corn e
ry weather will ruin the crop. Z
Cotton is usually left too far !,
part. both the rows and the /,
1alks in the rows. Because the 81
:alks cover the ground we draw q
he incorrect inference that it is ;
lick enough. tits the bolls and

oils will be obtained by leaving Il
le stalks reasonably close to- g
ether. OF course there are two r

America, and especially American women. now have the opportunity to prove the quality of the affection they have said existed for France. Aneri can help, full hearted and abundant, Is as urgently needed today in the recon struction problem as its help was urgent in the war problem. This fs the substance of the message that Miss Anne Morgan brings back from deV- astated France.
 Miss Morgan is chairman of the American committee for devastated France. Tho work of rehailitatins the vast tracts of ruined land io France is large, almost beyond measure, and the need for rapid. effective progress with this work admits of no delay, she reports in her findings.
 There Is no whimpering from the French today, she was careful to add. ETenchmen are not calling upon any one to come forward with an offer to bear their burdens, but prepared to ac- cept the help offered in the spirit Of Rdmfring friendship,
