Minister of War Noske emerges
with glory; he comes from the
crisis with the reputation OF a
strong man. Although many troops
under him were disaffected and
many were openly with the rioters,
he has dealt vigorously with the
situation. and not only has restored
order in Berlin. but his action has
probably extended the life of the
Scheidemann ministry and restored
some confidence in the new govern
ment.
"Noske appears to be the only
man with the qualities of a leader

duced."

BIG GAIN IN POTATO YIELD
Production Per Acre 10 Thlrty-sIx Per
Cent Higher Than That Of
Twenty Years Aoo.

prepared by me United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The yield of potatoes per acre Is
gradually increasing in this country.
as shown by the records Of the bureau
Of crop estimates of the United States
department of agriculture. During
1S66-1874 the average annual yield per
acre was 81 bushels, but the average
markedly declined to 71.3 bushels in
1%SS5-1S94. Perceptible recovery was
made in the following ten-year period
and a much larger recovery, rising
to a new high-water mark, was reach
ed in 19O5-1914, with it's average yield
Of 81 bushels per acre.
In 20 years the productivity of the
average potato acre increased SO per
cent. This increase is due to various
causes, among which are greater spe-
cialization of production, more inten-
sive treatment, and higher fertility Of
the soil. The ten-year average yield
Of 81 bushels per acre in 19O5-1914
was followed by 1858 bushels in 1915,
80.5 bushels in the very low year 1915,
and 1908 bushels in 1917.
Compared with population, the yield
of potatoes per acre declined from
1S66-1774 to 19O5-1914. The gain of
production per capita in recent years
has been more because Of increased
acreage than because Of increased pro-
duction per acre.

khaki uniform Of Uncle Sans army
looked ~squarely into her eyes until
her lashes dropped. Then he steadied
the n with a hand on the float
and held out the other hand.
Get in" he said, and there vas
nothing indolent either about voice or
manner.
She stepped squarely into the center
of the canoe, settled among the cush-
ions, and he padded off with a steady,
clean stroke. Not a word was uttered
until they reached a little owe which
shut off the view of the cottages. Then
he stopped and looked at her until she
could feel the color dye her cheeks.
"Where did you come FROM" she
stammered, to cover her confusion.
Had a few hours leave from camp.
Came on the last train last night" he
replied.
"pid you know I was here?" she
asked quickly.
"No, I didn't" Stephen replied, just
as quickly; "but I should have come
just the same If I had. I had made up
my mind to go to Boston next week,
anyway, just to SCI you. I'm going to
France soon, very soon." He heard
her catch her breath sharply then he
went on very quietly: "You told me
last summer you wanted a man for a
husband, not a lazy boy, and it struck
deep. Uncle Sam has been trying his
best to make a man out of me, and I'm
doing my best to help him. They say
that absence makes the heart grow
stronger for someone nearer home,'
but it hasn't my heart. Jerry!" His
eyes held hers until it seemed they
looked into each others hearts. "You
do love me-" he said as he leaned
forward.

found her commanding man.
Some two hours later Sylvia saw
them land at the float and pull up the
canoe. Their faces told the story as
they came into the cottage, and she
congratulated them warmly.
"But what really is the difference,
Jerry, between the lazy boy of last
summer and his bold young man be-
fore u.s." asked Sylvia.
"He was dreaming then; he's awake
now" said Jerry as she held his arm
tighter.
Eyes, but the real difference is in
the khaki" explained Stephen. my
camping clothes were to play around
in and enjoy myself, and I did, too;
but Uncle Sans uniform makes you
forget yourself. It's a khaki suit for
a man who has hard work to do and
must be ever 'on the job,' and with it
on and your goal before you, you just
have to go forward to victory"

ter.
The soldier smiled tenderly down
into his sweetheart's eyes.

''KHAkI"
BY MISS RUTH z. BURNHAM.

Jerry slowly opened her eyes, and
TOR a moment she was startled, then
she laughed softly as she glanced
around the little camp bedroom-sure-
~ it had been familiar enough a year
ago. She sat up and reached for her
watch as she looked out Of the win
dow-6 o'clock and a beautiful morn
ing. She would take the canoe, she
thought, paddle around to the little
owe and dream until breakfast time.
Her hostess would understand.
Ten minutes later she softly closed
the door Of the screened-in porch and
stood on the little float. The canoe
was gone! Perhaps Dick, the husband
Of her hostess, had gone on an early
errand and would be back soon. She
sat down to wait.
It was all so familiar, the float, the
little camp with the s~creened-in porch,
the beautiful lake! How many good
times and happy days she had spent
there last season, sitting quietly on
the piazza, padding IN the lake, stroll
ing along the country roads! The pic
lures crowded through her memory,
and always beside her in them all was
a tall figure in khaki camping clothes
"a lazy figure, content to do her bid
ding, with apparently no other aim in
life than the pleasure at hand. 1t had
all been very pleasant and happy, and
then-he had proposed. AS a chum
and playmate he mad fitted admirably,
but for a husband she wanted a man,
a competent, commanding man, she
had told him, not an indolent boy in
khaki trousers and flannel shirt So it
had ended. Her friendship with his
sister had remained %unbroken, but the
good times had ceased, and now after
a winter Of hard work, she had been
glad to accept Sylvia's kind invitation
for the weekend, with the tacit un-
Outstanding that the fellow in khaki
camping clothes should be absent.
Then rudely her dream was broken.
A canoe came gliding into view, and
there was something familiar both in
the craft and the straight figure pad

ton was regarded as the savior Of
America and Joan Of Arc was re-
garded as the savior Of France. The
village Of Domremy is but a small
place, similar to most Of the small vii
lagos in France. "A small narrow
muddy street is the main thorough
fare. At one end Of this street is To-
Gated the original home at least in
sofar as the ground is concerned, Of
Joan Of Arc. A small house, which
has been reinforced considerable with
a sort Of concrete, is located in this
yeard. Some of the original wood
work still remains in this building but
it is surrounded by a sort Of chicken
wire. The wire is placed there in or
der to protect the small amount of
wood from souvenir seekers. Much of
this wood has been Clipped off by
souvenir seekers though. In this
building are several rooms. There are
many copies Of books written concern
ing Joan Of Arc also in the building.
In one Of the rooms was an old French
lady selling souvenirs. The French
are great for selling things they think
the Yankee likes. I have heard it
said I'VE here that the French went
into the war to saw their homes, that
England went into the war to help
crush Germany and that the Ameri-
cans went into it to secure souvenirs.
Also in n Of the rooms of this house
there is a large book in which names
Of visitors are written by themselves.
There are many thousands of address,
es found here and the book is COM
pletely filled with names Next to
the house but not in the same yard is
located the little church in which Joan
Of Arc is supposed to have worshipped
The inside of this church is beautiful
as are most of the churches in France.
There r numerous souvenir vendors
in the locality of this church. About
a mile from the house upon a hillside
there is a large beautiful church To-
Gated. The work on this church has
undoubtedly taken many years and
they r still working upon it.
This church is supposed to be located
upon the spot on which Joan of Arc
was standing when she received her
vision. At the time that Joan of Arc
was but a young girl the English SOL
diers were driving the French further
and further into France. Utter de-
feat Of the French army appeared in
evitable. Joan Of Arc was herding
sheer, one day up the hillside on which
this church is located and there ap-
peared to her in a vision an angel
which told Joan to go forth and lead
the French army to victory. Joan OF
Arc was still but a mere girl. How
ever she became the leader of the
French army after much effort on he1
part and led them to many victories.
She was finally captured by the Eng
lish and later burned at the stake. The
inside of this church upon the hillside
is indeed beautiful. Upon the walls
