Why Maine Girl Is Proud.

Although but eleven years of age,
Christine Reed of Sanford is one of
the "war-honor girls of Maine. This
title was bestowed on her by state
school officials. She is the youngest
stage driver in New England and her
daily duty is to see that q score Of
pupils living in rural districts are
transported to their schools.
When the war called the young men
of Sanford to service there wasn't any,
one left to drive the school childrens
stage coach. For awhile it looked
as though the children wouldn't be
able to get any schooling this term.
Then Christine went to her father
and said she would drive the stage.
Her father consented and the child
began. All through the winter she
made the trips and none of the chill
dren she transported was late at any
session. To accomplish this Christine
has had to get out of bed each morn
ing at 5 80 o'clock.

CONSIDERED IDEAL WAR CROP
Why the Cultivation of Artichokes Is
Being Encouraged by the French
Authorities.

Jerusalem artichokes, the sort grown
in Michigan, are being doomed in
France as an ideal war crop, for the
reason that they crow quickly and
abundantly in any kind Of ground ex-
cept that which is wet and marshy.
They derive most Of their sustenance
from the air and not from the earth,
but the richer the earth the larger
will be the tubers.
Henri Bin in La Nature gives some
instructions about their cultivation.
The tubers should be planted as soon
as the frost is out of the ground, at a
depth of from two to three inches, in
rows about ~ inches apart and about
nine inches between tubers. AS soon
as the shoots appear they are to- be
narrowed; in May they are to be
earthed up and again in June. The
cultivation is like that of potatoes.
They may be harvested by the end
of october and the harvest will last
until the end of March, for frost does
not injure the tubers at all, so they
may be left in the ground all winter.
Jerusalem artichokes will yield from
% to "A tons to the acre and 10 to IL
tons Of excellent forage, which should
be cut in September.

WhY Marines Wear Green.

Folks from coast to coast are still
wondering why the time-honored blue
uniforms worn by the United States
marines were superseded by the "for.

practical military reas0ns'' was the
brief answer given by marine officials.
But a history shark now comes forth
with better cause, he says, than mere
military necessity for the change in
colors.
He claims that green is the historic
hue for the marine corps, and to prove
it he has dug up an order of the ina
