the tools we do but most of the work
is done by hand
Villages are scattered among the
farms, all built about alike, stone streets

some stores, wine shops and church.
Just one church to village. There
are shrines and chapels however all
along the roads. The people are de-
voutly religious and never too busy to
attend daily services, Each evening all
thru the country bells ring and every
body worships. As the Angelus sounds
across the fields the toilers cease where
they are and pray. Such is the great
spirit of France.

Subscribers Notice

The Falcon has carried warnings for four
weeks to its subscribers that under the rules of
the War Industries Board we must put our list on
a Paid-in-Advance basis, beginning November L.
The rule went into effect at that time and we have
since then cut over two hundred names from our
lists and are cutting others each week. Many of
those cut off have come in and paid back 81 b.
scriptions and year in advance. We want every
man who wants the Falcon to receive it each week,
but the War Industries Board controls the news
paper output of the country and we have to obey
its orders. The chances are that the coming of
peace will not effect this board or its orders and
that all papers will continue on the paid-inadvance
basis. We are cutting off more names this week
and if you have not paid, your time is near at
hand. If YOU WANT THE FALCON YOU
MUST PAY IN ADVANCE. We are mailing
statements this week and ask all subscribers to
send check to cover the amounts shown they owe.

THE RED CROSS BUILDS
A VILLAGE

One hundred Belgian families will
soon be occupying as many four
room cottages in a village which the
American Red Cross is building on q
picturesque hillside just outside lie
Havre, according to reports just re-
ceived
Every effort is being made to have
the village, when complete, resemble
bit of Belgium transplanted to
France. There will be the paved
streets, electric lights and an up-to-
date Waterman system.
The villages population will be Sc
lected from the poorest of the refu-
gees. No family with less than four
children will be given cottage.
Each cottage will have a garden
and will rent for six dollars month.
Tenants who cannot pay for their
cottages will be taken care of by
some charitable organization, but
everyone who gets a cottage will be
expected to work.
The rent from the cottages, it has
been figured, will pay the expense Of
running the town.
There will be two Belgian schools,
with Belgian teachers; a Belgian
priest, Belgian officials and one of
the co-operatives stores so popular
in Belgium.
The cottages are portable, and
after the war ends they can be ship
ped to Belgium and set up in the
native towns of the people occupying
them.
