Acres Was Brought Over by
United States Transports.

It is not necessary to go to France
to put your foot on French SOIL
There are fifty acres of new-made
land almost in the heart of Norfolk,
Va, composed entirely Of soil brought
from France within the last year. II
was brought over by naval transports.
When American transports sailed for
France from American shores during
the war they carried troops and sup
plies. When they started back to
America there were no cargoes for
them in French ports, so 1t was neces-
sary for some of them to carry some
thing for ballast. There being nothing
else handy, tons upon tons of French
soil was loaded into the holds of re-
turning ships just to balance them In
case they encountered rough weather
on the voyage.
When the ships reached America the
soil was unloaded and used to reclaim
marshy lands. More than fifty acres
of lowland was filed with this French
soil at the st. Helena naval base. This.
land was never used before the French
soil arrived Now 1t is being made into
attractive grounds, which may also In
clude flower gardens.

KEPT BUSY ALL THE TIME
Why Missionaries, Unlike Their More
Fortunate Brothers, Can Have
No Regular Hours.

The missionary formerly worked
months, and even long years, for sin
gle convert, and, when he had secured
him, had only a single illiterate man
from the lower classes. Now he has
accessible, on the one hand, millions
of lower-class people; and, on the
other, an increasing number of men
leaders among their countrymen. The
present mission staff and equipment is
adapted largely for dealing with the
man of the lower classes, and for deal
ing with him individually. Slowly the
skeleton organization has been expand
ed and partially filled out; but no
church has yet grasped these larger
opportunities for personal evangelism
which the last few years and decades
have brought. AS the opportunity has
grown. schools, hospitals and publish
ing houses have been added-designed
to care for work already under way.
With few exceptions the missionaries
on the field are tied down to the direc-
ton of these institutions. They must
supervise the churches and the native
pastors; run the hospital; manage the
printing press; keep accounts, and, In
the greater proportion of fields, cult
vate an American constituency to meet
their increasing needs for more money.
Many missionaries are now compelled,
aside from their own salaries, to
finance the greater part of their work.
There is a, man in India whose mission
expenses run from 1900 to 1,500
rupees" a month. He receives 300 by
the remainder. he must
raise as best he can. More extraordi-
nary still Is the fact that he actually
raises it.-Tyler bennett in Asia Maya

AMERICANS NEVER QUIT

The Germans found that the Ameri
can doughboys at the front were not
cutters. Let us show those dough
boys that the Americans who STAYED
at home are not cutters. There is no
better way TO do this than to hold on
to the Liberty Bonds we have and buy
to the limit when we are asked to
take more
Carter Glass, Secretary of the
Treasury. said recently:
Our boys at the front in the service
OF the government have never quit. IF
you sell your Liberty Bonds you quit
at a time when the government needs
your continued support. Every time
you quit by selling your Liberty Bonds
you hurt the credit of our govern.
ment and make it more difficult to
finance the war. The cost of the war
continues until peace ia signed and
our gallant boys are brought back to
American SOIL
There is no excuse for you to sell
your bonds unless you are without
food OF are to be turned out of your
home. In Liberty Bond you have
the safest Investment in the world
The credit of the United States, whose
wealth is estimated at $3.50, 600, 900 900
is guarantee that you will get your
money back. In the meantime your
money will be working for you at
fair rate of interest.

THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1919


When the new administration took
Charge of Payette county affairs in
January, it had practically, intact, the
entire 1918 tax roll as available re-
sources from which to meet the 1919
expense. With this splendid start
Payette county should, by strict econ
omy, be kept on cash basis through
cut the coming year.-Fruitland Ban
ner.
When the Banner Editor who was
the retiring clerk and ex-officio aud
itor and recorder of Payette county
published the above article he evident
ly knew but little about the affairs
of that office, in fact we don't think
he ever knew much about it.
If we can read figures correctly,
the books of that office show the cur
rent expense fund to be lacking &c.
944.50 of being intact to defray the
1919 expenses, which amount has been
used in payment of~1918 bills. Prev
cut to the new board taking charge,
more tran half OF the current expense
fund for the payment of 1919 expens
es had been collected, 100000 which
had been borrowed from the motor
and vehicle fund during 1918 had been
paid back Bills from 1918 carried
over amounting to $3,273.67 had also
been paid out of this fund, and bills
arcunting TO $670.83 which had been
contracted by the old board and left
for the new board to pay, which con-
suned almost one third of the current
expense fund that should have been
available for defraying the 1919 ex-
penses, and which the Banner Editor
refers to as being practically intact.
1t is simply rotten politics to pub
hsh such Misrepresentation.

prominent business man of St

the thought of the Victory Liberty

much easier to raise the 100000 900

How Soft Coal 1. Made Hard.

Converting bltuminous coal into an
equivalent of hard coal is late de-
velopment that will have a far-reach-
ing effect on American industry, ac-
cording to Popular Mechanics maya
zine. The new fuel Is entirely smoke
less and under the new process by
products now wasted ore recovered
These largely compensate for the cost
Of conversion. A plant has been in
operation in the East for some time,
perfecting the process and making
tests Of practical character. The
raw coal is subjected to distillatlon
process at low temperatures, the resi-
due being pressed into hard, durable
bricks that are again subjected to dis
tillation and produce an intense heat.

WHY
Bobby Burns Should Have
Been Alive Today

January 25 was the one hundred
and sixtieth birthday of Robert Burns
Robbie is one of the fellows we have
sadly missed during the past four
years. Think what he could have
done in the way of answering Lis
sauers Hymn of Hate" or revising
his Address to the De'il'' to make 1t
tit the kaiser, whom he certainly would
not have called "Holy Willie" 1t is
generally said that the Scottish dia-
lect Is the supreme lingo for the cele-
bration of two things-love and whis-
ky; but there is another emotion that
Scots are good at expressing, and that
is blazing, contemptuous hate of cruel
ty and cowardice
Burns came very near being an
American poet. In 1856, after dis
appointment in love-a matter in
which he was not generally disap-
pointed-he engaged passage on YES
sci for the West Indies. Then he
changed his mind and decided to stay
In Kilmarnock and console himself
by printing his poems. If he had got
as far us the West Indies, he would
certainly have come on to the states
and probably would have gone to Ben
Franklin In Philadelphia to get his
book published. What jovial cracks
he and Ben would have had!
Burns fame is secure, for he is al
most the only poet who has ever had
cigar named after him. Also, he is
probably the only poet who has lured
the staid Encyclopedia Britannica" (
into Joke That work says that s'his
thirst for stimuIants passed all bars (

How Bobby Got Dirty.

John and Robert had just been
dressed in their new white suits and
were waiting near the porch for their
mother TO take them downtown. When
their mother came out Johns suit was
still clean, but Roberts suit was
soiled
"Why, Robert, / have a notion to
leave you at home" said his mother.
Hoh, don't mother" said Robert,
half crying: @you know the dirt blows
right past John and sticks on me-"

HNJV COAL MINES LAID

liz w FOUNDATION OF
GREAT BRITAINS POWER.
Britain owes its position In
the world of commIce and in

cial status in the world, to coal
} more than to anything else. If
beneath It's soil and in its river
beds 1t had possessed as much
gold as Australia, or California,
or South Africa, it would not
have availed 1t nearly so much
as It's wealth in "black dia-
monds." Not only do the coal
mines employ more than a mil
lioE men, but indirectly they
produce employment for the cot
ton, wooden, iron, shipbuilding,
and many other great indus
tries without which the country I
would soon be plunged in pow
erty.
1t is an amazing fact that Brit
ain, produces a fourth Of all coal
used In the world. Coal Is money
to Britain. 1t pays in coal for
thousands of commodities which
are imported into that country,
and which no amount Of ''recon- I
struetion" could enable them to
produce within their own bor- I
ders. Yet Britain's coal Is by no
means inexhaustible, and 1t is I
estimated that at the present
rate of consumption 1t can only 9

HOW RECORD OF WARS
IN ~ HAPPENINGS WILL

~ ~ HAPPENINGS WILL
BE SHOWN TO POSTERITY.
In order to keep a true and au-
thentic record of the great world
: war, Austria year ago request
ed the burgomaster of every
town and city, both in Ger
many and Austria, to record
events and occurrences during
the conflict in their various COM
munities.
According to a German news
paper, this will constitute ire
mendous amount of authentic
material from which a compre-
henSive history of the war can
be written in the future The
idea Is to learn how each town
and city suffered during the war.
the food the population had,
what they ate, drank and wore,
how many from each community
went to the front, how many
were wounded and how many
died, and anything of interest
relating Immediately to the
struggle.
The material is to be sent to
the public librarian at Vienna,
who will compile 1t and file 1t
so as to make it readily avail
able. 1t is estimated that this
matter alone will require over a
hundred volumes to adequately
tell the story of the struggle and
privations of the people. This
will not include the history of
the military operations, deserip-
lions of battles, ETC., which will
be written by military experts
who actually took part in them.
In addition several eminent
painters and artists who went to
the front will contribute illustra-
lions giving pictorial concep-
ton of the struggle. This en-
tire history will require years of
preparation, but when completed
it is asserted that 1t will be
the most interesting and compre-
hensive history of great strug-
BILE that ever has been compiled
or published.
