Editor o. E. Hull, of the Leon Re
porter, should begin action vs.: Va
liam Jen Casey, of the Knoxville Ex-
press, for damage done to his truth
and yeracity. The latter gentleman,
who is also scholar and thorough
ly versed in natural history, laugh
ed to scorn the former gentleman's
jackasitus rabbit story and since
that date, a. D., Hull has been
turned out Of the church, impeach-
ed in court, reprimanded by his
lodge, and several other things too
numerous to mention. The only way
he can square himself is to cut the
ears from the specimen and get a
ruling from the Department of Ami
NAL. Husbandry, at Ames, and also
send Mr.. Casey direct the left hind
leg to lhang~,up in his smoke house.
And all this must be done quick
before the meeting Of the Iowa Press
Association next month.-Chariton

Conditions in France Are
Unknown to !. S:Boys

who has made careful study of food
conditions in France. In this letter
special mention is made of Bou-
logne. But food conditions here
may be taken as typical of many
towns in France.
The bread in Boulogne," accord
ing to the writer, is very bad, be
ing dark brown in color and very
coarse in texture. The project
showed me telegrams-a whole
stack Of theni-from the mayors of
various towns and villages in his de-
partment saying that their bread
supplies had given out completely
and wiring in haste formore. You
can imagine what this means to
people, 81 per cent of whose diet is
composed of bread"
I'VE spent the day." the writer
continues again, going to several
towns closer to the line, stopping at
Calais, Aire and St. Omer, and went
into the bakeries that were still open
in each town. In many places there
were queues, of people standing in
front of the bakeries waiting their
turn to get their ANAL rations of
bread--and the vilest sort of bread
at that. II some places it was made
partially OF buckwheat -four, and in
Others they eked it out with chestnut
flour, which gave it very uHpleas-
ant odor. l
Other food supplies were not
plentiful. The mayors of the towns
complained great deal about the in
fluence purchases by the soldiers
had on the local markets.
What butter. eggs and fruit there
were was bought by the soldiers.
Those dealers who had supplies
