EVERY MAN HAS HIS STAR
Influence for Good Luck Comes Only
With Use Of Coin, to Aid Com
munication, French Say.

A superstition the Americans have
been taught to respect is that of the
coin and the star. The French say
that every man has his star, but he
can't secure its influence for good
luck unless he uses coin to put him
in communication with it, observes a
Paris correspondent. If the proper
coin is used the star can be called
on to exercise its protecting virtue,
and once this has been established
there is no reason for the fortunate
soldier to worry further The ques-
ton in the minds of the Americans
is whether American coin will have
any influence with the stars.
American soldiers have discovered,
however, that the most popular Gus
tom with the French is that Of rub
bing wine or brandy behind the ears.
To many Americans this may seem
an uncalled-for waste of good French
drink, but the French soldiers be.
lieve implicitly in the practice.
The proper time to perform this
action, according to the French, is
just before going into battle, when
the wine is passed around to brace
the nerves of the soldiers. No mat
ter how careful the dispenser of the
wine or brandy is, there are always
a few drops dripping from the con.
tainer. 1t is these that the soldiers
are anxious to catch. They hold
their hands underneath and when
the drops of wine or brandy fall on
them they quickly rub the fluid be-
hind their ears. But few of them
ever rub it on their tongues.

PINTO BEAN HELPS OUT.
Forty-one Million Pounds Contracted
for by Government.

o. H. Liebers. head of the Pinto
Beaa Division. U. S. Food Admins
tration, has contracted forty-one mil
lion pounds OF beans from growers in
Colorado, New Mexico and adjoining
states. This amount is considered TO
be at least 50 per cent of total amount
available. Contracts are coL4ing in
daily from growers and all indica-
tions are that the division will get at
least 95 per cent OF the 1917 crop Of
Pinto beans still unsold.
One million pounds OF extra choice
seed has been stored at the following
points: Denver, Greeley. Trinidad,
Clayton. New Mexico and Albu-
qqerque, New Mexico This seed will
be sosd to growers at the $3.50 price
plus local freight, cost OF storage, in
surance and other incidental ex-
penses. The price should not exceed
is getting an unusual quality of dry
land Pinto beans, recleaned and well
sacked.
Last week the Food Administration
had orders for immediate shipment a.
follows:. so cars to Boston, SO cars
to New York City, SO cars to Philadel-
phia and SO cars to Chicago These
shipments will average $4,000 pounds
per car The Food Administration
expects to keep moving these beans
as fast as hey can get equipment and
orders for them from the eastern mar
kets. 1t should be noted that this is
the first time that Pinto beans have
been shipped to these eastern con-
suming centers. After the Food Ad.
ministTation gets through placing this
years crop on the market, the east
will be as familiar with the Pinto
bean as 1t is with the Navy. This
should practically solve all future
troubles in getting satisfactory mar
ket for Pinto beans
