French Saving For Success

The wider knowledge of the French
people brought about by war associa-
ton has set many an American home
maker and housewife to thinking.
How, she wonders, with the small in.
comes quoted as general among the
French peasants, or even those Of the
smaller mercantile circles, can the
French bousekeeper accumulate the
financial reserve, the tidy savings"
generally-and uthentically-accred
tied to her? The secret is not far TO
seek.
The French housewife looks upon
steady saving as family necessity
as important as bread and as ineyit.
able. No matter how small the In
come, some part OF II must be set
aside 10 make provision for the future.
No matter from what source the In
come is derived. how irregular It's re-
ception, the statement holds good.
How else can provision be made for
the daughters little dot, or marriage
portion, the sons business start in
life. the occasional family holiday, for
possible illness, fire, failure, or any of
the thousand and one exigencies that
may upset the applicant of ordinary
life?
Therefore, the French housewife,
usually the chancellor OF the family
exchequer, saves before she spends
and spends judiciously". She slows
away the proper financial margin be-
fore apportioning any other household
expenses.
Long before the American housewife
was offered the educational opportuni-
ty Of Thrift and War Savings Stamps
her Gallo sister had learned the Joy
OF small but steady saving. the super
lative desirabiiity OF Government In
vestments. Safety deposit vaults be-
ing rare In rural France. the Huns are
richer for many French government
bonds taken from household safes and
stockings.
II the French housewife could have
registered those bonds az the Amsri
can woman can register her War Saw
ings Stamps, she wsuld not have lost
her little savings. II you lose your
War Savings Stamps after registering
them, which is free, the ssne pcst
once where you registered them viii
give you new ones.

Drainage Demonstration.

No other event of the country ever
called out 30 enthusiastic and interested
a crowd as the drainage dem monstration
on the farm of ii. A. Shaw Cottrell-
vile township on Friday. Auto loads
of representative farmers from all Sec
tions of the county signified the univers-
al interest in this movement
A series Of explanatory placards
guided the crowds along the already
completed tile lines to the place where
the big ditching machine was at work.
Here they watched with keen interest
the rapid and perfect results that would
formerly have meant back-breaking la
Dor of many men. When the ends of
the field were finished, c. l.. Brody in
troduced Mr.. Walter VanHaitsma, the
owner of the machine, who, mounted
on its caterpillar wheel, gave . clear
concise description of various points in
its mechanism which answered the
many questions in the minds of the OBJ
seryors.
Mr.. Robey, Drainage Specialist of the
Michigan Agricultural College, next
told some Of the principles of drainage,
urged the need of a complete plan for
the farm, and then led the crowd back
over the completed work, explaining
as he went the different construction
devices.
The next part of the afternoons pro-
gram was staged on the grass in the
orchard where number of short inter
esting talks were given. Karl McDon-
el, Assistant Director of Extension,
gave brief history of Extension Work
told why st. Clair County was chosen
for the drainage demonstration and
stressed the part of the Agricultural
College hoped to play in assisting with
this york.
III. ii. Musselman, Prof. of Farm
Mechanics, spoke most cenvincingly on
the need of drainage in Michigan and
on the changes that had been and will
be made in farm machinery.
The results of drainage on crops was
the subject discussed byJ. w. Nicolson,
Farm Crop Specialist. He emphasized
the impossibility of worthwhile crops
without proper preparations of which
drainage was the first prerequisite.
The crowd was then treated to pleas.
ant surprise in the person of Mr.. |. II.
Waterbury, editor Of the Michigan
Farmer, who made some very keen oh.
servstions on the general agricultural
situation and commended highly the
work being done that day.
w. II. Dane of Burtchville township
as q member of the Executive Com.
mittee Of the Farm Bureau next gave
a short explanation of its organization,
its aims, and the benefits to be derived
from it by st. Clair County Farmers.
A vote OF thanks to the speakers
closed the program.
A Farm Information Booth served as
headquarters for the day where all reg.
istersd, and many took out Farm Bu-
reau memberships. The interesting
comments and keen discussion as the
groups broke up after the meeting
proved that the day had been one well
worth while in the agricultural develop.
ment of st. Clair County.

Death Penalty for
 Selling Liquor is
 Failure in Mexico

Douglas, Ariz., Aug. 16.-Though death has been the penalty pro nounced by General P. Elias Gales, governor of Sonora, Mexico, for the making or selling of liquors in that state, public sentiment was so strongly against the decree that, while arrests were being made Tn other parts of the state, in the capl- tai, Hermosillo, recently liquor never was more plentiful nor cheaper since prohibition first went into effect In 1915.
 Americans reaching here recently from Hermosillo said beer was being sold at $25 gold case of 60 plnts and tequila was selling at $5 quart.
 Not long ago, 50 cases of 600 bot ties of tequila, seized in all parts of Sonora, were publicly destroyed. The liquor was poured into the gutter in front of the governors palace, Americans who witnessed the de- struction said that number of peons were on hand with cups and when the liquor was poured into the gutter scooped up enough to get riotouslly drunk.

Texas Hero Compared
 To Sergeant York

Austin, Tex, Aug 16.-Private AL fred R. Simpson of Travis county Is another war hero compared by friends with the famous Sergeant York of Tennessee.
 Private Simpson landed in New York with a distinguished service medal, personally presented to him by General Perishing, and a croix de guerre. Recently he was notified by the local recruiting office that the medito de guerra, presented by the King of Italy, was held in Austin for him. Private Simpson, who has been discharged, walked fifteen miles to learn more of this new award.
 Friends say he is of the same type as Sergeant York. He was born and reared in the hills of Travis county without advantages of an education. In hot fighting on the western front he captured German machine gun nest single-handed, turned the guns on the advancing Germans and for two hours held them back.
 Now Austin business men are rais- ing a fund to allow Simpson to ob- tain the education which he was de- nied during his youth.
 Another coincidence is that York and Simpson met, first when they were both decorated by General Per shing, and again when they both re ceived the croiX de guerre from the hands of General Petain.
