Madame's desert inn on that still,

him again. The Arabs who had found
her unconscious with her dead child IN
her arms had cared kindly for her in
their oasis settlement.

Arabs gave into my bereaved arms the

caravan, little rosebud of a girl, who
crept into my heart and at length filled

try what organization can bring forth for
them Of the best Of life. Their demands in

against associating with Americans ap-
peared recently in Coblenz and other
towns on the Rhine
American officers who have inveSti-

ed that girls who associate with the
American soldiers shall be punished
and that several secret societies have
been formed for that purpose.
On several occasions the names OF
girls who associate with Americans
have been read to the congregations
at Sunday morning church services. In
other villages the practice is TO post
the girls names in public places Black
lists of the girls names are being kept
for use after the Americans are gone.

pealed to the supreme court against
both the spook and his alleged spon-
sor, Daniel Balsinger of Oakland, N. ].
The three took chance and bought
farm from Balsinger in May, 1913,
on the strength of his assurance that
Capt. Kidd's spirit had appeared to
him in the night and revealed the ex-
act spot on the farm where he had
buried whole chests of pieces of eight.
They do not wish to pay the bal
ance due now because they have dug
up the entire farm without finding
single doubloon.

Good Chickens Are
Profitable Investment

Washington, D. C.-The story
of Reuben Lowe, of North Shap
leigh. Me-. illustrates the posi-
BILE profits from poultry keeping
where careful management is
practiced. During 1913 this
pOultryman, who devOtes only
part of his time to chicken rails
ing, kept 250 birds, which paid
him profit over feed cost of
more than $1,000. equivalent TO
"a a bird. Included in this
amount are the sales of few
eggs for Matching, about 30 cock
erels sold for breeding purposes
at $3.50 to SIS each. as well as
the market eggs. which were dis
posed of in large quantity. Mr..
Lowe keeps White Wyandottes

ring when judged according to
either the standard of perfec-
ton or utility standard.
one pen OF ~ pulletS owned
by this Maine poultry raiser pro-
duced eggs as follows: Novem-
Der, 1918, 413; December, 1918,
418; January, 1919, $50; Febru-
airy. 1919, 326; March, 1919, 1855;
total of 1903 eggs, averaging
1906 eggs per bird in five
months.
1t pays to keep poultry of this
kind, and growers everywhere
are coming to realize that there
is more money in keeping bet
ter fowl and feeding them prop
erly balanced rations than in
wasting time with inferior birds.

8 "LAON INFORMERSv TO DIE
Three Others Are Condemned to
Death by Default in French
Court.

Paris.-Sentences We're delivered in
the case known as the 'Laon inform
ers" after a trial of more than sixty
days.
: OF the twenty-eight persons accused,
eight were condemned to death, two of
them being women; three others were
condemned to death by default. Six
were acquitted and the remainder re-
ceived sentences of from one to twenty
years Imprisonment.
The charge against the accused was
denouncing compatriOts to the German
during the occupation of
Laon. In many cases the hiding
places of French soldiers, who had es-
capped the German advance. were point
ed out, with the result that a large
of soldiers were executed.
