MODEL ON AMERICAN CLUBS
France Considering Adoption of Our
Methods of Teaching Farming to
Boys and Girls.

France is considering the adoption
of Uncle Sans methods Of teaching
better farming and home making to
boys and girls. Representatives from
the French high commission, lately In
this country, made a point Of studying
carefully the methods Of the federal
department of agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges in conduct
ing boys and girls clubs. Much OF
the information thus collected has
been widely reprinted by the French
press, accompanied by editorial COM
ment expressing the view that, the
man or woman power of France nav
ing been depleted or disorganized by
war service, France for some time to
come will be dependent in large part
upon it's younger population for it's
food supply and suggesting the forma-
tjon in France of a nationwide system
of boys and girls clubs patterned on
those in America. 1t is expected that
these clubs will grow staple products
garden produce, wool, farm grain
and forage crops. poultry and farm
animals on farms not devastated, the
very soil Of which must first of all be
put in condition. They will stimulate
production by the young people OF
France through organized contests not
only in farming but in home enter
prises such as bread making, garment
making, cooking and home manage
ment.

Marshall threw his hat on q chair

"Sit down."
Richard took the chair at the Other
side of the desk.
Marshall rang a bell. Instantly the
shirt-sleeved clerk entered.

announced. II don't want to be inter
rupted. Take these to Smythe."
His eyes followed the shutting Of
the door, then turned square upon
Richard. II need you. It's a HI OF

His s~uperior's question was unchar-

not read with thrilled nerves of that
| wild river which men had been trying
to put under work harness? Who,

Richard did not answer. He felt

The break-where those Hardins
were-how in thunder vas he going
to get out Of that, and save his skin?

"Noi + say yes!" clipped Richard.
The Marshall oratory had swept him
to his feet.
The, dramatic moment vas chilled
by their Anglo-Saxon self-conscious-
ness. An awkward silence hung. Then:
when can you go?

"Any instructions?"

HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies Of rheuma-
tism are usually the result of failure of
the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use Of some sterling remedy which
will prevent a return of the disease.
