FRANCE TRIES OUT
 BACK TO LAND PLAN

PARIS, France.-At recent ses- sion the Counsel General O. the Loire Department voted sum of S00,000 francs to be issued for the purpose of encouraging agricultural enter prises and repopulation of the farm ing districts.
 A minimum of eight to ten hectares Gone hectare equals 2.471 acres) may be allotted to each agriculturist not over 30 years of age, if not mobil- ized, and not over 35 years of age, if mobilized, who will promise to re- main 10 years at the head of his farm. Premiums Fixed
 The resolution. further. provides 1. A fixed premium of. 1O0. francs worth of farming implements of the latest model, which is not to be re- funded. ..2. A loan of .500 francs worth of agricultural implements for each 10 hectares or fraction over and above the first 10. This loan, whicl, must be refunded in 15 years, may be increased to 200O francs for farm of 40 to 60 hectares.
 However, in order to encOura ge large families, part of this loan will be cancelled according to the number of children born after the farmer has taken possession of his allotment of land.
 In order to benefit by the loans above indicated, the applicant must apply to the Prefect of the Loire De- partment, stating: Age, situation of family, residence, the farm on which they intend to settle, with. a. state ment relative to the areas of land to be cultivated, kind Of culture, and implements required.
 To Interest Young Farmers The aim of the resolution of the Counsel General is to interest many young farmers in this scheme, and to induce those to return to the soil who have heretofore hesitated for want of financial assistance. Their reasons for deserting the farms for the mills and factories of the cities will no longer have the same force. They will be given every encouragement to stick to the soil, which sorely needs their skill and labor, and thus, by theil efforts, they may contribute to the restoration of their native country. II has been suggested that if the offer were extended to include American soldiers it might be made means of encouraging many to remain in France.

An Expensive Table

The other day woman with a shawl over her head entered a piano dealers in a Yorkshire town and said she wanted to buy a piano. The salesman point ed out an instrument at 25 pounds thinking to settle the customers inquiries once and for all.
 But she turned disdainfully a. way, saying: Not that sort: I want real one." Amazed, the shopman showed her one at 80 or 90 pounds, but they were not nearly up to the mark.,- q want one of them with the big, broad tops," she explained. Fairly staggered, the salesman meekly pointed to the cheapest grand" at 130 pounds. "That's more like it," said the woman with the shawl, and, producing a bundle of notes, She said reassuringly, 'I've the brass too."
 A lady district visitor who heard of the purchase went to view the "grand" in it's new quar- ters. She found that it had been got in with some difficulty, that it practically filled the living room, but that the family regard ed it with immense pride and sat isfaction. "They can have no use for such a thing" the salesman afterward remarked to her. "Oh, yes, they have," replied the lady visitor. "They were having their dinner on it when I called"

 Sometimes he shortens it to Sam, which is at least not quite so femin- inc. Sometimes, never having exper- fenced the delights of a minstrel show, he distorts it into Sambo. l
 You may not like it, but you haven't the heart to tell him so. He uses 1t m utter friendliness, and as a mark of friendliness the Tank receives it.

The men at the front die many times. Take the young Artillery lia- ison officer from Topeka who had just left the dugout telephone where he had been talking for three hours and had not gone dozen yards when the man who followed him at the mouth piece was killed by shell. Then an- other shell dropped just outside the trench along which he was making his way.
 He heard it coming. He tried to flatten himself like cigarette paper against the trench wall. He could smell the powder, feel the heat against his face see the flash before he heard the report of the explosion which bur- jed him under an avalanche of dirt. A moment later and he could hear his friend calling out from 15 feet ahead. Are you all right, old man?"
 "I think I am dead" he replied.
 Afterwards, he realized that it must have sounded strange. But at the time, he had meant it. He really thought he was.
 ! One Infantry sergeant, badly wounded in action in Argonne, did not really come to till he woke one morn ing in a snowy bed in distant hos pital. The nurse, benevolent vis- ion, was bending over him.
 Are you feeling better, Lieut.. John son?" she asked.
 He thought that over for a while and then decided the voice was not part of the strange dream that had been haunting him.
 "You've got me wrong miss," he said. "Im Sergeant Johnson"
 "Oh no, you're not" said the nurse, "you were promoted while you were asleep"
 A yank entered a certain divisional P. c. north of Verdun two Sundays ago and was somewhat startled to see someone sitting at table who re- minded him very much of the pictures he had seen of von Hindenburg. i The soldier was almost frightened when the man before him said, "Vet will you have?" He wasn't sure that he had entered an enemy P. C., but he took chance.
 When the visitor explained his mis- sion there the rather ponderous man, who wore the uniform of the United States Army and the bars of fist lieutenant, replied: "Vell, you want der captain"
 Later the soldier questioned the lieutenant about his resemblance to the owner of the late lamented line.
 "Vell, no; I ain't Hindeburg - not vet. 1 vas in der American army init Pershing ven Perishing vas captain. Pershing is a general now, and mel am a lieutenant. Maybe, someday, if l question another million prisoners or so, maybe I am captain"
 The lieutenant was Oscar Lottig, for 20 years first sergeant of a certain Engineer regiment.
