The Germans are agitating on the

called liberals Of the world exactly as
their peace without annexation pr0pa-
ganda reused the liberals OF the world

obvious. The objective Is to save Ger
many from the consequences Of the

NEW WEST INDIAN INDUSTRY
Exports of Divi-Divi, Product of Tree of That Region, Will Grow Now
 War Is Ended.

An interesting product in which Curacao, the important port of the Dutch West Indies, deals Is divi-divi, which Is the trade name for the curved peas of a small tree with a character fstic winding form, indigenous to northern South America, Mexico and a few of the Netherland Antilles, says the American magazine. The plant ing is done by sowing only, and the chief dispensers of the seed were for a long time the goats. The dried peas are very much sought after in Amer lea and Europe because of the high percentage of tannin they contain varying from 30 to 50 per cent. Gu racao exported s46,352 worth of divi- divi in 1916; $28,78S worth in 1917.
 Aloes, another product of the col ony, is exported from Curacao, but is cultivated chiefly in the island Aruba, which Is one of the six com posing the colony. The gathering of the aloe leaves takes place during the dry season, after part of the mOfs- ture they contain has been allowed to escape. They are cut and the brown ish yellow, ill-smelling sap they con- tain Is intercepted as 1t leaks out. Then the sap Is placed in an oven to evaporate its moisture, and the resi- due is packed for shipment either in calabash shells or in specially pre- pared boxes. New York takes most of Chracao's aloe resin. It is chiefly used in the preparation of dyes and medicines, and Is one of the most generally prescribed purgatives in veterinary practice.
 In 1916 Curacao exported $114,3S5 worth of aloes, $46, ,43O worth in 1917.

WORRY "cONDIMENT OF LIFE"
A Little of It Excellent, but It Must Not Be Enduring or
 Excessive.

Unless a man has a little worry apathy, indifference and the mechan- ical physical disinclination to do your utmost without stunt will be lacking. Without this condiment of life, this salt of the human cosmos, "we see to what absurd yet tragic physical lengths he Is driven by the whip of that still vigorous tyrant, his self instinct to fight" This thrilling force, which one time had been used square ly and successfully against the real world enemy, Is now absorbed in trivial and self-debasing skirmishes with the grotesque bolsheviki of his imagination.
 In other words, if a man has a va- riety of anxious explosive outlets via his muscles and intellect, such as driv- ing. tennis, swimming, dancing, compe- tition, golf and the like. these act as safety valves for the multitude of im- pulses and reactions which habit and custom have compressed out of his external activities.
 Worry Is one of these, If not endur- Ing or excessive. For the average man set in society, In work and in his fam fly circle 1t takes the place of larger and better outlets for his destroyed initiative.

MY FIRST THRIFT STAMP.
By Ruth Blank, William Lloyd Garrison School. Boston.
 10 years old.

One day last summer my sister wanted to go in town. She couldn't go on account of the baby. I asked her if might take care of him. "Yes, you can take care of him." she said So she went in town and I took care of the baby. The baby was very good for a while. But half an hour later he got cross. Seeing how cross he was l put him to sleep. I started to sew when my sister came in. She asked me where the baby was. I said, "He got cross so I put him to sleep" My sister was delighted that he was asleep for he didn't like to sleep in the afternoon. She gave me twenty five cents for taking care of him. The clock struck four and I had to go home. When I passed by the post office I said to myself, "I am going to buy a Thrift Stamp. I don't know what twenty-five cents will do, but all my friends are buying them" So I went into the postoffice and asked the clerk what Thrift Stamps are for He told me about everything. So got Thrift Stamp, which was my first one.
 On. my way home I met my brother When he saw the Thrift card he said What is that?" I told him that it was Thrift Stamp and it was going to help the boys a little. When l said that he went into the postoffice and got stamp also After that we kept on saving and were very happy

SAVING AND HAVING.
An Old Fable Applied to Present
 Conditions.

Save and have!
 Remember the story of the ant and grasshopper? The ant worked and saved. The end of each day found him with a little more added to wha, he had the day before. The grass hopper danced and sang and fiddlec his time away. Winter came; the am had plenty. The grasshopper hac nothing; he had not saved. He went to the ant and asked for help. Said the ant: While I worked, you fooled your time away. You can dance now for all I care"
 Are you an ant-person or a grasshop per-persOn? Some time are you going to have to ask for help and will some one tell you to dance; or will you be independent?
 If you save now, you'll have latei on Let the end of every week find more Thrift Stamps on your card. At the end of every month be able to show more War Savings Stamps past ed on your certificate. Buy 1919 War Savings Stamps. Lend your money to the Government at four per cent interest, compounded quarterly, and see it grow.
 Take stock of yourself! What are you worth? Will next New Years day find you worth more or less Which will you be; an ant or a grass hopper?

AluerIan Grain Production.

Methods of grain production used in Algeria are very similar to those used In Utah, Idaho and eastern Washing ton. Owing to the light rainfall much of the land Is cropped only alternate years, a clean fallow being maintained during the summer preceding the sow ing of the crop. In more favorable situations 1t Is often customary to pro- duce two or three grain crops in sue cessive years, allowing the land to lie fallow one year in four or one year in five.
 Speaking generally, the soils of the grain growing regions are rather heavy and are very productive when the rain. fall Is adequate. Some of the lands are underlain by calcareous hardpan, which 1t Is sometimes necessary to break up by an occasional deep plow- ing in order to secure maximum pro- duction.

Precious Stones In Nebraska.

A man from Nemaha county, Ne braska, went hunting moonstones in California and found two good speci- mems. He remembered that he had seen rocks of similar formation on his farm, and when he came home began looking for moonstones along the cow path. When he had made collection, as he thought, he sent them to the state geologist, who pronounced them agate, chalcedOny, topaz and tourma- lines. From these a jeweler cut 28 Ovals of mOonstone, mocha, sardonyx and moss, and carnelian agate, and 35 diamond cuts of others, including ame- thysts and rubies. These gems, which have been named the finest of the kind in Nebraska, range in color from very dark red through rose. purple, green, blue, orange and golden opal to marine blue.

Several and various were the uncom. plimcntary exclamations heard when the talkative Col. Cholm0ndeley Fitz- Fulke strolled into the Back to- Nature club one evening just in time to hear discussion going on about the crows in the cornfields and their part in the winning of the war.

 "Was 1t your father that did it, cOlonelT asked Charlie Smithers, smilingly. followed by snicker among the members.
 "Er-ah-yes. You see, the crows in our cornfield became so used to our regular scarecrow that they grew quite fond of him. And they used to bring him grains of corn and deposit them In his pockets and corncOb pipe. It was quite a beautiful and heart melting sight. gentlemen" and the colonel flicked . sentimental tear from his eyeglass.
 "Well, conceived the idea of mak- ing scarecrow that would smite the crows and chase them away. donche- know. So father decided to dress me up in some old tattered rags and have me smite them. And, bah love. frightened them so bally bad that they didn't return for a year, and then 1t was after they had seen me go abroad" concluded the colonel, pick ing up Charlie Smithers' glass and emptying its contents.
 Huh. That's nothing" said Char He. My father made . scarecrow so fierce looking that seven of our crows that had stolen ten bushels of corn came back the next day and put every one back! v
 It was several minutes before the colonel could control himself suf1- ciently to walk out amid the roar that arose.
