Marquis d'Argenson Founded
the Municipal Police System

The first man to organize munici-
pal police system along modern lines
was the Marquis d'Argenson, who died
in Paris 1917 years ago. D'Argenson
was a native of Venice and first
achieved fame in that republic, where
he was a state secret agent. In 1887
he went to France and became the
head Of the police department in Paris.
Coming of high family. he was
considered to have degraded himself
by accepting this post, but he soon
raised the Office to his own level. The
gendarmes of Paris were made into
a highly efficient force, and D'Argen-
son also formed a body of secret
agents, such as would now be called
detectives. Later he laid the f0unda-
ton for the French secret service and
sent spies to all countries with which
France might become involved in war.
The system of international espionage
he inaughrated was perfected by Karl
Stiezer, who organized the Prussian
secret service and sent thousands OF
his men into Austria and France prior
to Prussia's wars against those coun-
tries.

"Let Time Do It," When It
Comes to "Evening Up Old
Scores or Fancied Injury

A gentleman who believed he had
been insulted or mistreated by anoth-
er, notes q writer in the Columbus
CO., Dispatch, rushed into the office
of friend, the other day-a big busi-
ness man-and declared he would "get
even" with the fellow in some way.
But the big business man hardly
looked up from his desk as he replied,
LET time do it."
The man of big affairs then deliv-
cred a little sermon something after
this fashion: II have often felt like
getting even with somebody, but I
have never done so. I have let time
do it. Time always evens up things
better than I could do so. If a man
doesn't treat me right, there is some
thing wrong with him; he has some
defect that will prove to be his undo
ing. So when I am offended or mis-
treated or injured, I just wait. Time
does the work. Why, only yesterday
I found a place for a fellow who was
my bitter enemy ten years ago-a
man who circulated malicious state
ments against me and tried to ruin
my credit at the bank. He failed mis-
erably in business himself, and went
down and out. A few days ago he
appealed to me to help hfm-and I did
so, because time had gotten even with
him." o." ,.-. ~ -.r
Greater philosophy. never came from
the lips of man. Time evens up all
things. 1t captures the thief, it pun
ishes the liar, it pals the hand of the
murderer. The -offenses that may be
committed against you today are look
ed after by time. And no man ever
"got even" with another by doing him
an injustice.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

'House early, hatch early, lay early,
are the keynotes of success in poultry
raising" said John L. Prehn, extern
sion poultry husbandman Of the de-
partment Of agriculture and the extern
sion division of the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
"At this season of the year the main
and fundamental point is to have all
strong, vigorus, well matured pullets
housed in their winter quarters. The
reason for this is that they may be-
come accustomed to their new quarters
and to each other before they start
laying. Moving birds from one place
to another has a tendency to stop or
retard the egg yield. Early housing
means early laying. Early laying
means more profits and early fall lay
ing means early spring Matching. 1t is
the early Matched pullet that pays. It
is the early housed pullep that lays.
In placing those pullets in their win
ter quarters the last general culling
should be done for the winter.
IF this general idea is followed for
a period of years." said Mr.. Prehn.
"the profits will increase very meteri'
ally. Every poultry raiser should
keep In mind the Ndage, house early
hatch early, lay early" .-. &C.,

Stamp Collectors Will Be F..
Kept Busy Gathering Many
Issues the Result OF Wan

The war has brought about great
changes in the world Of stamps. And
stamps themselves have been changed
in appearance. =,
Practically all of our colonies had
their stamps overprinted with the
words such as "War Tax" "War
Stamp" "Red Cross" or just the one
word, "War.'
Our expeditionary forces too, did
not forget to announce their possess
sion of conquered country by over
printing the local stamps with "Under
British Occupation" In other cases
the ordinary stamps have been used
with the name Of the new possession
printed on them. -.
These changes are plentiful enough
to fill book which has just been COM
piled under the title "Stamp Collec-
tions for War Museums"
It gives a splendid idea 6f what has
been done all over the world In the
way>of war stamps, including pictures
of a remarkable issue printed entirely
on q typewriter. These belong to the
Island of Chustan, off China, which
was occupied by the British in 1916.
That each stamp had to be typed
meant much work, and the issue was,
Of course, quite small, SO the value to
collectors Of each one will soon be
large.
Another specimen that every collec'
tor will be proud to possess Is the one
third penny local stamp issued by the
British prisoners Of war at Ruhleben
Germany for the intercamp postal
service.-Pearson's Weekly, London.

The Czechs and Slovaks are in ef-
feet the same race, with only slight
difference in language, and political
division between them was erected
only in 1867, when, to divide the ener-
gies Of the people, the Slovaks were
put under Hungarian fule. The
Czechs and Slovaks for a great many
years chafed under and resisted Aus
trian and Hungarian rules. The
Czechs inhabit Bohemia, Moravia and
Austrian Silesia, crown lands of the
Austrian empire lying between Aus
tria proper and the south Of the Ger
man empire. The Slovaks live in the.
upper region of Hungary, adjoining
the Czechs in the east and southeast.
The Czechs are one of the most highly
civilized peoples in the world. and
economically the most prosperous OF
the Austrian empire. Their country
includes most Of the coal and iron de-
posits Of the empire, the principal
manufactures and the most prosperous
agricultural districts.

Fishing, a Patriotic Sport
That Should Be Encouraged;
What Fish Are in Your.Lake?

The millions of Americans who have
always lived inland know the delicate
flavor of the fresh water catch. but
we are likely to slight this cheap, nu-
tritious food, either because it is not
always on sale in our markets or be-
cause SO many menus and recipes we
follow in our cooking call for lobster,
halibut or some other ocean product.
II fish from our own communities
are not on the market plentifully, let's
90 fishing for them ourselves. There
is no season of the year when some
kind of fish cannot be caught easily.
Do not turn up your nose at your lit
tie boys catch, because the fish are
small and hard to clean. Little perch
are delicious, even If they do require
some extra time in preparation.
Encourage fishing as a patriotic
sport in your nelghborhood. Inquire
about the fish In your community. Are
bass, trout, pickerel, carp, perch or
Just plain suckers" plentiful in your
lakes and runs? The equipment nec-
essary to catch any Of these fresh wa
ter fish Is simple and inexpensive. A
hook and line and bamboo pole have
been the means of catching hundreds
of pounds of fish.
Friday is not the only fish day. Two
more days n week are not too often
for you to serve the inexpensive, meat
saving food. Baked, boiled, or fried
fresh fish are always delicious. To
vary the meals trife, make different
kinds of sauces to serve with your
fish
