ENGLISH AS W0RLD'LANGUAGE
Writer Sees Strong Indication OF its
Supremacy as One Result of
the Great War.

All the indications are that the uni
yersal language will be English. The
formal draft of the treaty of Versailles
will be couched in the traditional IAN
guage of diplomacy, the language OF
Foch and Clemenceau, but the discus
sions at Paris and Versailles were in
the tongue which President Wilson and
most of our peace delegates have best
at their disposal. Perhaps it is no
compliment to us that the European
peacemakers should be in a position
to meet us more than half way In the
matter of foreign tongues, but the TACT
is there.
The French language will prosper
after the war. In more or less perfect
form it will be brought back to Amer
lea, to Australia, to Canada, to South
Africa by soldiers and auxiliary war
workers TO the number of many tens
of thousands. But for every Anglo
Saxon whom the war has taught
French it is a safe guess that there are
a hundred mid-Europeans to whom as
a result of the war, emphasizing al
ready existing conditions, the English
tongue will be brought close to home.
Because the new Czecho-Slovakia must
be in intimate touch with a million
| Czechs and Slovaks in the United
| States, because there are several mil
lion Poles In this country, because
every one of the new nationalitles IN
central Europe looks in the first place
70 these United States, the American
language will be familiar among all
| foreign languages to these people. For
that matter, the numerous commits.
sions and propagandas of mid-Europe
(which have been busy In the United
! States will have brought back with
them the use, if not the idiom, OF our
MISUNDERSTANDING.

PARSLEY ! POINTED A MORAL
Younqstery Quick to See the Point
Which pHis Father Was Endeav-
oring to Make.

In ana Indiana town where crooked
ness inacity affairs has been reigning
for years, a lucrative position was of
fered to a lawyer. 1t was not because
the salary itself was SO large, but the
possibilities the position offered were
many. But still string was attached
and the lawyer knew it. SO he turned
down the job.
His high-school son was provoked be-
cause his father had not accepted. lie
grumbled about it in subtle little ways
for several days and then one day his
father came to school after the boy to
accompany him to a friends farm.
Once there he showed the delighted
yOungster all over the farm, last visit
ing the pen in which the hogs were be-
ing fed for the market.
The boy eyed them a few minutes
and then asked, "What is that they're
eating so ravenouslyT
The farmer answered: "Why, that's
parsley. It's the best hog fattener
know of. We just turn them into
patch of parsley and they do the rest
themselves. It's too good picking for
them to resist. When'I decide that a
pig is almost ready for the market
just turn him into the parsley patch,
and soon he's just in the right condi-
ton to 60 to the slaughtering house"
"It's too bad they don't know what's
coming to them SO that they stay away
from the parsley patch" laughed the
boy, "T'm sure / would If were to
turn hog"
His father merely looked at him for
a minute and then he said: Parsley
always has looked like graft to me
very inviting, easy to get, and plenty
of it while it lasts, and then at the
end inevitably the Strengthening pen,

ALI. FROM ONE TURKEY EGG
Here's Example of Taking Advantage
of Opportunities Which Should
Teach Good Lesson.

An old farmer and his son were at
work in the field near the roadside
when his son discovered dead turkey,
which probably was discarded by an
other farmer who was on his way to
the market. Both were curious to learn
the cause of it's death. They brought
the turkey to the barn, dissectec the
fowls body and obtained an egg. The
boy set the egg and the result was
fine turkey gobbler that was sold the
next summer for So. With this money
the boy purchased pig. The next
summer the young capitalist sold his
SOW and eight pigs for $50. lie then
bought two thoroughbred heifers.
The ensuing fall he had two milch
cows and calves which he sold for
5000. His final investment was in two
one-year-old FLY colts.
After a lapse of five years the LAD
was the custodian of two good mares
and 81 600 in gold which he procured
in the sale OF their colts. And today
this farmers son is studying agricui
ture and animal husbandry in a state
university as the result OF one turkey
egg.-Thrift Magazine.

Canadian Fisheries.

The total value of the produce of
Canadian fisheries during 1917 was
$50, 49, O44, compared with $39, 208,37S
in 1916 and $26,S6O, 7S0 in 1915. These
totals represent the marketed product
and have just been given out by the
Dominion fisheries department in it's
annual report.
Canada possesses the most extern
sive fisheries in the world" says the
report. "Those of Norway and the
British isles alone dispute Canada's
supremacy. The fertility of Canadian
waters is indicated by the fact that
the entire catch Of salmon, lobster,
herring, mackerel and sardines, nearly
all the haddock, and much of the cod,
bake and pollack, are taken within 10
or II miles of shore"

Healthy Men pefied "EIu.n

An Observant hospital corps man OF
the navy became so thoroughly con-
vinced that lowered resistance was
always the determining factor in con-
tracing influenza that he and some
of his mates volunteered to test the
truth of his theory. The offer was ac-
cepted and 100 enlisted men who vol
unteered were submitted to eXhauS-
tive experiments by naval surgeons,
the outcome of which seems to con-
firm the theory. These men were all
in the best of physical condition. and
during the experiment their health was
looked after carefully. Live cultures
OF influenza bacilli were sprayed in
their threats and noses hourly. The
germs were introduced into their food.
They were kept in close contact with
patients suffering from the disease.
Some members of the group received
various preventive NEGOTIATIONS, but
others were not thus protected. Not
a single case of influenza was de.
veloped. ~

Leuerdemain,

"Them city sharpers are heap too
smart for US country jakes," admitted
the gent from Jimpson Junction, upon
his return from the Big Burg. 'To be
on the safe side, before l started from
home had a pocket made on the in
side Of my shirt, and put two $40
bills in it and sealed it up with court
plaster: And I'll be JOhnbrowned If
somewhere along the line somebody
didn't steal my $40, slick and clean !!
And what fumigates me is how in
tunkett they got my shirt off and put
it back on again without removing my
coat and vest or even giving me a
hint of it !"-Kansas City Star.

"Great Tom" Not in Abbey.

Westminster abbey bells, which'ar
now being overhauled against the (cele-
bration of peace do not, as many peo-
pie think, include the famous bell
'Great Tom of Westminster" which
was formerly rung on all important
occasions.
Great Tom hung for centuries in the
clock tower of the royal palace Of
Westminster, but when in 1715 the
tower was. no longer strong enough to
stand the vibration and was taken
down the bell was sent to st. Paul's
cathedral instead Of being taken to the
abbey.
Great Toms duties are now con-
fined to striking the hours and tolling
for royal and important deaths and
burfals.

Exploded Theory.

The married man concluded to try
out his new theory. Addressing his
spouse he said:
"My dear, 1 should like to go to
Jones' tonight for several hours. Mr..
Jones is not ill and does not require

let his wife do it. Mr.. Jones is per-
fectly well, so far as l know, except

corning that He only said my pres
ence would be appreciated. | am sure

about this affair you will consent to
my going. Am I right?"
He was not.-Kansas City Star.

The ADVANTAGE.

The garruious gentlemen talked and
talked and talked-abOut himself. The
only other occupant of the carriage-
an elderly gentleman--was bored stiff.
But there seemed no remedy. The
train was an express. But suddenly
with a screeching of brakes the train
pulled up at a little out-of-the-Way
station.
Halo! What on earth are we STOP
ping at a station like this for?' asked
the old gentleman, who wished to
get his journey over.
"To allow me to get out! J" said the
bore.
"Ah, see! It has its advantages,
then!" said the old gentleman.-LOn-

We Hear Good Reports
ofDoan's Kidney Pills.

Washburn is no exception. Every
section of the u. S. resounds with
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. Fifty
thousand persons are giving testi-

The sincerity of these witnesses, the
fact that they live so near, is the
best proof of the merit of Doan's.

Secondhand Pianos.

London is doing good business In
secondhand pianos, thus saving the
labor and materials necessary for
further manufacture. At present the
demand for pianos comes chiefly from
munition workers, and people of mod
crate means are helping to supply 1t
by selling their own instruments.

Date Trees Flourish in Arizona.

That dates can be made to thrive
in Arizona is being demonstrated by
the agricultural experiment station of
the University of Arizona, whose or
chards contain sos trees, representing
125 different varieties. The fruit is
ripened artificially and marketed in
the East. Alkaline soil and the avail
able water of the region appear to be
well suited to the needs of the date
trees, which. it is declared, will bear
fruit for 100 years.

An unusual aeronautic experiment
was tried recently at RockaWay Beach,
L. l., when an airplane, suspended
from one of the navy's "Blimps," was
released at an elevation of 5000 feet.
An illustration in the April Popular
Mechanics shows the plane just at the
moment of launching. A cable about
100 feet in length, attached to the dir
igible, was supplied with con-
trivance which gripped the center sec
