country and shave better opinion

northern France are good industrious
farmers, and altho they lack in ma
chinery and seem to waste good time
in Improbable cleaning, still produce
the crops. In recent travels l have
seen miles Of rich crops of wheat,
oats, rye and considerable acreage
of sugar beets. These fields are I'M
broken by fences or farmsteads, the
dwellings being clustered in small
villages where the house and barn
are under the same roof and the stock
is kept up and fed Women, children
and old men do practically all the
work. This country would be out of
luck but for the women who are very
Industrious.
ri have seen everything from the
cycle cradle to small binders used in
cutting grain. Very few good binders
are in use and great quantity of
grain is tied with rye straw by hand.
'The horses left after the army has

are few in number. Oxen are not
uncommon, most of them being large,

of roadsters, or light road horses, we

News now is any item that will help to make us fight harder, anything that will spur us to greater endeavor, to more sacrifice, to more unity and fixity of purpose. That is the live news of the day. Everything else is trivial in comparison.
 Any bit of news which makes the war more real to us should have the prefer ence of both editor and reader. But why should say more when the Birming- ham papers are so awake to this fact?

BY JOHN SPARROW T have been asked to answer the ques- tion, What is news now?'
 Well, anything that relates to tha war is news. What was considered news before the war is of secondary i'm portance now, and much of it is negli- gible. War news may be divided into two classes, the destructive and -he constructive. By the destructive is meant news of battles, casualty lists, submarine sfnkings. etc. These are
 naturally siven the most prominence. By constructive war news is meant everything that is being done, except strictly military movements and devel. opments, for the winning of the war congressional action, shipbuiIdng activi- ties, railroad operation, food conservs- tion, Liberty Bond sales. War Savings
 Stamp campaign, Red Cross and Y. M c. A. drives and so on, almost ad ;n- finitum.
 Those two classes of war news alone are sufficient to abosrb nearly every
 inch Of available space in the news. papers, and, consequently, we see thai happenings which have no connection with the war are being steadily minim | ized. A fire, an accident or an esca- | pade which might have commanded q | column in normal times is now cut down l as much as possible.
