"Hello Girls" In France

pendent New York; concerning the
vast activities behind the American
front In France convey volumes of In

the scope of the organization at GER

this Franco-American CITY," writes Mr..
Holt, "was a completely equipped
American fire engine house with a
crew imported from as far distant a
city as Portland. Ore. And you should
have seen the boys slide down the pol
ished brass pole, just as they do at
home, when the captain sounded the
gong.

SINCERITY SHOWN IN LIFE
Venerable Declaration That Faith
Without Works 10 Of No Avail
Remains True.

An author tells us that sincerity Ia
the supreme virtue; but that sincerity
Is not expressed in words-only In
real life. The venerable declaration
that faith without works is dead Is
true. And one will see an illustra-
ton Of the fact on every side every
day. The fact is the world does not
live what 1t believes. We noted In a
book the other day that there would
be little, If any, controversy il men
said what they thought and felt. This
is surely true. Men differ as soon
as they appeal from the spirit to the
intellect. This Is because the spirit
deals with the fundamentals and the
intellect with the details. Sincerity
belong to the former. 1t Is more than
an opinion. 1t is bigger than stand.
point. 1t Is where sincerity gets its
influence, which is the STILL small
voice that comes out of the whirlwind
that roars around every mans life.
But we should remember that SIM
certify Is not concoction, but a vir-
tue, as real as mothers love- And
don't mistake sincerity for consis-
tency. They may be acquainted, but
they are not related.-Ohio State
Journal.

Ordinarily the management Of the
farm flock Of sheep calls for compare
lively small demands upon farm la
Dor. The labor cost per dollars worth
Of wool or lamb Is lower than for any
other farm animal product. Yet, while
sheep raising does not necessitate ex-
pensiye equipment or heavy labor, it
does require study and continuous at
tention. However, the effects OF the
reduced supply Of available farm la
Dor, brought about by the drain upon

COMMUNITY MARKET is LINK
Other Benefits Derived Than Allowing
Producer to Dispose Of
Surplus Stock.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
There are benefits to be derived
from community markets other than
allowing the nearby producer to dis
pose of his surplus products at
profit, and the consumer to obtain the
family's food supplies in a fresher
state and at lower price than they
can be purchased from the retailer.
The direct contact with producers
gives the buyers at community mar
kets a direct and tangible interest in
the country. The market is link be-
tween urban and rural life. The city
buyers soon become acquainted with
the farmer-salesman, learning little by
little details about his farm, family
and life in the country.
The farmer on the other hand learns
more about city people and can do
much to encourage friendly relations
by offering specially choice fruit and
vegetables to regular customers.

WHY MORE HONEY IS NEEDED
Table, as II Is Consumed in Va
rious Bakery Products.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Honey produced in the United States,
pounds a person-about per cent OF
the sugar consumed annually by the
average individual.
Not much of the crop goes to the
family table. 1t is consumed In bakery
products or used in drug compounds.
and tremendously increased. The war
proved that.
The demand for honey is not con-
slant, because the supply is not con-
slant. Few sirups are as satisfactory
or as palatable as honey. A little ad-
vertising will sell it.
Experiences during the period Of
sugar shortage prove that honey pro-
duction may be vastly increased with
out fear Of overproduction. There was
not enough honey then to supply a
fractional part OF the demand, and II
the efforts Of beekeepers at that time
had suddenly increased the crop to
many times it's usual volume there still
would not have been enough honey to
supply the demand.
But beekeeping is a complex busi-
ness. The United States department
OF agriculture, while it believes In in
creasing the honey supply, thinks that
the increase should result mainly from
better methods on the part Of the
100000 people who now own bees
rather than by large increase in the
number of beekeepers.

The Brdoehedd Sentinel, which is
a paper published by the First Divl-

an editorial article entitled "Our Last
Word on WILLARD" The editor apol-
ogizes to his readers for breaking a
promise not to mention the pugillst

Is that "the full chested men Of the
Eighteenth Infantry feel that their
home State Is going to be disgraced
II this Stacker is allowed to take down
100000 for his share Of prizefight."
1t is further suggested that "the only
proper treatment for this great hulk
ing money grubbing Stacker is tar
and feathers"
No attack upon DEMPSEY is made
In the article and the innocent reader
Is left to wonder why a man who was
35 years old when CONSUMPTION began
is called Stacker while his opponent,
who was % when General CRowDER's
selective process started, escapes with.
out a word. Perhaps the reason for
the bitterness toward WILLARD Is found
in his failure to box in the camps and
at soldiers entertainments. But why
did DEMPSEY escape the draft? Per
haps he was physically unfit.

INWOOD TROLLEYS.
The Lack Of . Line Through Dyck-
man Street to the Ferry.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: More
than year ago the Third Avenue Rail-
road Company was awarded q franchise
to run an extension through Dyckman
street TO the ferry for the accommodA-
ton OF thousands Of persons who cross
the Hudson to Interstate Park on the
other side, but UP to the present time
the company has done nothing in the
way Of laying rails or preparing to
build the extension.
As a matter Of fact II 10 said that
the company has refused to accept the
franchise on the plea that the cost of
labor and material Is too high. At least
this plea was made at the time the
franchise was awarded, and that, of
course, was during the war. when, as
everybody knows, labor was scarce and
the Government was using all the steel
to mako war munitions.
But the war is over now and the
argument OF the railroad company no
longer holds good. There are many re-
turned soldiers who would gladly avail
themselves Of the opportunity to go to
work and steel is no longer needed for
war munitions. So what Is to prevent
the company from going ahead on its
franchise and building the road? There
Is every reason to believe that an ex-
tension through Dyckman street would
be self-supporting II not = money maker
at the present time. and certainly II
would make money as the section grows
up. And there Is no better method OF
developing q. section than to run q
trolley line through It. particularly a
section like the Dyckman section,
through which hundreds Of persons pass
every day on their way to the ferry.
The fact that Dyckman street has
been left without trolley line has been
the principal reason why It has re-
manned undeveloped up to the present
while 207th street has become the prin-
cipal street in Inwood simply because 1,
has a trolley line running through 1t.
