Why Frenc. Shoes Are Uniform.

In the effort to reduce the cost Of
shoes, the French government has re-
Gently enacted law providing for the
manufacture Of a uniform type Of shoe
that could be offered for sale at COM
paratively low price. The ordinance
provides that the ministry of war
should, as far as possible, supply with
leather the shoe manufacturers desig
mated by agreement with the minister
Of commerce. The manufacturers thus
selected must undertake to make shoes
conforming to models furnished by the
minister Of commerce, and to furnish
them to shoe dealers, under the name
of national shoes" at prices fixed by
the minister Of commerce. The shoes
shall be marked as national shoes"
and shall be stamped with the maxi.
mum selling price to the public, as
well as the name Of the manufacturer

WHY
Quiet Little Belgian City Is
But a Memory

Newport lies upon the User, the tidal
stream that stopped the German rush
for Calais. That June before the
world went mad, the peaceful town
drowsed in the sun-the pearly Bel
gian sun that painters love. The men
went down to the sea In their fishing
boats, or worked their fields old wom-
en-, their lace upon their knees, sat in
a patch Of shade before the door and
piled their bobbins; children. with
shrill sweet voices, darted about like
birds; the creaking vain went to and
fro piled high with the harvest. Four
thousand simple folk, exclaims writer
In the Atlantic. Not one remains.
Their houses, too, are gone. Their an
cient church. their historic tower, are
mounds of ruin. And still the kissing
shells, hour by hour, day by day. tear
down the crumbling walls, adding fresh
ruin to q scene most desOlate. The
people of the sun are gone. Another
race inhabits there. They live in holes
beneath the ground. They come not
forth except to kill.

Why scareerows Are Nude.

French peasants living In the north
ern half Of France. largely occupied
by armies, probably haven't bought
any new Sunday suits since the war
began. 1t has been impossible to spare
transportation for carrying stocks OF
goods. Railway fares to the shops OF
Amiens or Paris are so high that the
peasant would walk before he would
pay them. And he wouldn't walk be
cause that would take too much time
away from his fields which are being
tenderly nursed and cozened into
bringing forth extra yields. The odd
result Is that the thousands of scare.
crows, which the thrifty French have
all over their farms to cut down the
loss of seed and crops to minimum,
have been Invested of their suits and
given straw substitutes. The peasants
are wearing the scarecrows' clothing

Shaft viii Be Erected on Scottish
Coast to the Memory of United
States Soldiers.

Nature has built on several of Scot
lands western islands great stone
shafts that are viewed with wonder
anu admiration; mar has erected on
others many columns and monuments
that are renowned i'm art and history.
TO mention notable examples, the

Norwegian kings in the burying

There will shortly appear amid this
concourse of records monument al

by which America will signalize the
memory of her young soldiers of free
dom whom Germany's submarine dew

On this knoll lofty monolith of i'm
perlshable granite will be raised in
honor of the brave who went to death
undismayed and self-controlled.
lslay was the chief seat of those

isles, who began in the twelfth century
their incessant warfare with the
Norsemen, and the title of the island
princes has descended to the Prince of
Wales. Quiescent past and stirring

old-world kings ever visit the royal
tombs at Iona, they need look south
but 30 miles to see a towering sign of
the making Of new-world history.

ITALIANS FIGHT IN ARMOR
vices Have Been Made During the
Long Conflict in Europe.

mo belligerent has shown more re-
vising novel means of Offense and de-
fense," says writer in Wide World
Magazine. "The Italian army was
the only one to enter the war with
q. trench helmet and steel chest-pro-
tector. and it Is now provided with
more efficient body shield than Is pos
sessed by any other of the warning ma
tons. Early in the war it was dis
covered by the Italians that many lives
could be saved in skirmishing at close
quarters If the soldiers carried or
pushed bags Of sand in front of them,
and the present body shield has been
an Outgrowth of that idea. They are
made In the one-man and twO-man
type. The former are worn by infan-
try advancing in the open, attached to
the shoulders by pair Of light steel
arms and are long enough to protect
the head and vital organs of a man
standing erect. Lying at full length,
or even crouching, it covers him com.
pletely. Each shield Is pierced with
small, round eyehOle and an Oblong
loophole for firing from, both Of which
may be closed by sliding door when
not in use. The two-man shield Is
principally used in wire cutting. 1t Is
carried on the back Of one man, who
may also work his rifle from a loop
hole in the top, while second man
works a long wire cutter through a
hole at the bottom. It is held up by
short legs If the first man desires to
move independently"

its high protein content. 1t makes a
better balanced ration and keeps better
when combined with small grain,
which should be mixed with the peas
in sowing If the crop Is intended es.
pecially for ensilage.
The field peas intended for ensilage
usually are planted in mixtures with
bald barley and cut when the barley
is ripe. Yield average from eight to
twelve tons to the acre. Pea ensilage
has higher feeding value than corn
ensilage, but should be fed in connec.
ton with grain ration. For fatten-
ing both cattle and sheep it has given
excellent results, but is most popular
with the dairyman.
One source of pea ensilage Is the
refuse of pea canneries. This material
Is not often placed in a regular silo,
but Is stacked up green as 1t comes from
the cannery and allowed to ferment in
the stacks.
Field Peas as a Manure and
Cover Crop.
IL lie uelu pea Is well Sulteu LOT use
as green-manure crop in orchards
and Is used quite extensively for this
purpose in the citrus orchards of Cal
ifOrnia. No other crop except vetch
Is so well adapted for this use in the
southern part of that state.
When used for green manure the
peas should not be plowed under un.
til they have reached their maximum
growth, unless other conditions con.
nected with the main crop require
that the blowing be done earlier.
The most favorable time will prob
, ably be reached, about the time the
, first pods are well filled.
! The varieties selected for use as q
! green manure or cover crop should
! be those which are known to be adapt
! ed to the locality, and one with a good
, sized vine is to be preferred over those
that make heavy yield Of seed. The
large Marrowfat peas, such as the Ca
madam Beauty, Arthur, Paragon, and
Mackay, are well adapted for this pur
pose, as are also the Prussian Blue anc
Wisconsin Blue.
! The use of green-manure crop Is
profitable only in sections where suffi
Client soil moisture is present to cause
the quick decay of the vegetable mat
ter turned under.

BLACKLEG CAUSED BY GERMS
HighIy-Bred Calves Should Be Vac
cinated Before 1t Picks Up
Little Organisms.

Backlog is caused by a small germ
an organism about one three-thou.
sandth Of an inch long. This organism
multiplies very rapidly by one organ.
Ism dividing into two individuals and
these again dividing in the same way
Also by producing very much smaller
spores or seeds. These spores are very
hardy and resist extreme heat and
cold. remaining alive sometimes for
many years. AS consequence wher
a pasture. corral or feedlot Is once
contaminated with the organism there
is no telling how long It will harboi
the infection. Dislnfecting such prem.
ises Is impractical. Safety lies in vac
cination. In all contagious or germ
diseases the animals most likely to get
sick are those whose constitution Is
more or less weakened from any cause
at weaving time, after changing from
poorly fed to heavy feeding or vice
versa. Immunizing beforehand insures
safety. Highly bred calves are also
more susceptible than scrubs. Many
operators report perfect results wher
they vaccinate at the same time they
brand. dehorn, or castrate. vaccinate
any time for blackleg.
When q calf is turned upon infected
ground II picks up some of the spores
which gain entrance to the body In
various ways - through the bruised
skin, through the mouth either with
animal licking itself. These spores
Immediately come into active life
begin to grow and multiply, and IL the
the food and water or merely by the
animal Is susceptible one Il con
tracts the disease. If II Is immune
the germ will have no effect whatever
upon It. Therefore, immunize the calf
with a reliable vaccine before 1t picks
up these organisms.
