The instructors are government paid,
their salaries varying from 15U to 800
francs month. The French govern
ment owns the school buildings and
equips the schools, the taxes in the
past levied on the communes making
possible this support. When communes
are wiped out and buildings are nom
existent, taxes cannot be levied, and
until readjustment Of government
finances is accomplished there is little
prospect of adequate school facilities
in the war-wrecked area.

France ceased In the autumn Of 1914 |
1t cannot recommence until Germany
pays the war damages to France and
France subdivides the indemnity into
the proportions demanded by each de-
partment canton and commune for the
erection and equipment of schools.
As Germany is only expected to pay
25,00O,OOO francs Immediately and the
rest in twenty years, the most hopeful
outlook for French education Is one
quarter Of the prewar force and equip
ment within the next two decades.
In the meantime, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, children who ceased to attend
school in 1914 are five years in arrears,
and for generation will continue to
study on % per cent efficiency basis.
The instructor often returns to
ruined village long before there is any
school for him to teach. His own home
is a heap of ruins and he has to COM
mence to dig among the debris to find
any buried belongings, and to erect out
of the heap of stones shelter for
himself. The government Is supplying

titioned for the teacher to live in, the
other end for the scholars to congre-

When the government cannot supply
the barracks, people Of the town have
salvaged the corrugated iron dugouts
left by the Germans called Neissen
huts. These dugouts are like a barrel
cut lengthwise and bombproof; also
these iron shelters are sweltering hot
in summer and bitter cold in winter.
They were meant to be placed under

BILLY Goat Is 0rnery
Cuss," Says Physician

Santa Ana.-"The billy goat
is an ornery cuss." This Is the
verdict of DIR. w. G. Dubois,
after an experience that he
doesn't care to repeat.
The physician was making
professional call in the suburbs,
and inadvertently left the door
Of his car open. A billy goat
was eating tin cans and Ber-
muda grass nearby; the auto
seat looked very inviting, and
the goat entered, enscons!ng
himself comfortably upon the
cushion.
Having completed his call, the
doctor tried to "shOo" the ami
NAL out, but 1t refused to be
shoOed. A grab at one Of its
hind legs resulted in a brief en-
counter which was not disas-
trous, but brought the goats
horns into play.
All other means failing, Du-
bois then possessed himself Of
long pole and with one mighty
heave pushed the obstinate
thing from out his car. This
done, he had to keep the goat
at the end Of the pole until he
could start the car and make
his getaway. p

Experiments have shown, however,
that much stronger vinegar can be
made by using yeast to start the
fermentation. Work the yeast up
thoroughly in about one-half cup OIL
the juice and add to the expressed
juice, stirring thoroughly. Cover
with a cloth to keep insects from it
and allow to ferment. The best tenn
perature for fermentation is between
so and 80 degrees. Do not put in a
cold cellar or the fermentation will
be too slow. At so degrees to 80 de-
grees alcoholic fermentation will
usually be complete in from three to
four days to a week, or when work
ing" starts, as indicated by the ces-
sation of bubbling. The next step
in the process is acetic acid fernen-
tation, during which the alcohol is
changed into acetic acetic acid.
. After the bubbling stops it will be
found advantageous to add some
good, strong. fresh vinegar in the
proportion of i gallon of vinegar to
3 or gallons of fermented juice.
Uusually, however, no vinegar is add

mented juice with acetic acid bac-
terra is left to chance. This chance

animals best are the ones that can
trap them most successfully.
= Books that the higher class fur
houses in st. Louis, can furnish you
either free or at, low cost, will be an
invaluable aid in this, Your own OBJ
servations will prove. of service, too.
You cannot set out to trap blindly
without knowing the habits of the
animals you seek. Never miss a
chance to study how they live, for
everything you learn will help you
in your future trapping.
For instance, 1t would pay a young
trapper to know that otter when
travelling in a crowd all use the
same trail; that they will leave
stream beds that have been travers-
ed too often by hum ans; that in
trapping mink and fox, more than
ordinary precaution must be taken
to eliminate the human scent, and
that extreme, cleverness must be en-
ployed in placing and batting the
which are both cautious; and cum
ming. =. at.....-.... -.
Begin your studies on even so low
ly an animal as the skunk. which is
ON. of the easiest to trap. In a
week you can learn enough about
him to prove that he is Fascinating
study. And the more you learn the
easier 1t will be to. trap him. &c..
The territory around you doubt
less has many furred inhabitants if
you will take the trouble to watch
for them and find their hiding places.
At present prices for furs, trapping
offers big money to country boys
and men-and women, too.
