UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT
Frenchmen Gathered in Groups to
Watch American Who Was
Actually Drinking Water.

William Allen White tells In tn,
Book News Monthly how thirsty he
became for water, just common, plain
water, on a motor journey through
France. where it was not safe, FOL
sanitary reasons, to drink the water
of the region. The coffee did not taste
good and the wine tasted like diluted
vinegar and looked like pokeberry
ink. 1t seemed only good to put In
fountain pens. Finally, at the end of
week he and his party stopped at d
hotel where there was bottled water
brought from the American commits
sary department. When he came to
the table he ordered bottle and this
is what he says of it:
TRY going seven days on pokeber-
ry ink and boiled coffee yourself and
note the reaction. Your veins will be
dry; your stomach will crackle as II

bottle. a quart bottle, evaporated.

Bank Responsible for Error.

An interesting decision has been
made by the Missouri court of appeals
relative to holding the sender of q
telegram responsible for a mistake In
transmission. A Wyoming bank tele-
graphed brokerage house, offering a
carload of potatoes at S1.35 hundred
pounds. The telegraph company's mis-
take in transmission made the price 35
cents hundred. The supposed offer
was accepted by the brokers and the
potatoes were shipped. When payment
was rendered at the rate of 35 cents a
hundred the Wyoming bank refused to
accept the money and brought suit
for the full amount The Missouri
court of appeals ruled that the bank
had made the telegraph company its
agent in forwarding the telegram and
that as the brokerage house acted in
good faith it could not be compelled to
pay more than the amount quoted in
the message.

WHAT VIKINGS FRENCH HEART
Noxlous Weeds Growing In Former
Highly Cultivated Fields Cause
Of Real Agony.

Agricultural loss is not confined to
northern France. The very high level
Of intensive productivity Of the soil In
general was everywhere due to two
factors which war has largely elimi-
mated; human labor and chemical fer
tilization. Indeed. the spectacular fea-
lures of agricultural destruction in the
departments evacuated last spring
gaping shell holes. crumbling trenches,
barbed wire trailing like some rusty
snake across the fields, even the fruit
trees cut down to the level Of the soil
look less sinister to the French eye
than the miles and miles, the thou
sands and thousands of acres of rich
wheat and beet sugar land untouched
by fire and sword, yet grown waist
high with the thistles, brambles and
every other sort of pestilential weed !;
the apple trees full of great punches of
mistletoe. Before the war a French
farmer was hailed into court by his
neighbors and fined for allowing this
ties in his fields and the mistletoe In
his orchard-remember this and you
will get an echo of the tragic reson-
ance that the phrase "terres abandon
nees" has In the French heart.-New
