American Chickens
Make France Gdyer

Soissons, France.-(By mail.)-
"Americhn chickens make life lit
tie gayer in France" the peasants
here say, regarding the efforts of the
American Committee for Devastated
France TO aid the stricken people of
the Aisne district.
And they meant it too, for the
proud clucking of hens and the lord
ly Growing of roosters are the first
sounds thht greet khe tourist when
he visits the war,torn villages of the
Aisne valley. For the American com
mittee has really carried out its slo-
gan to "re-chickenize" France.
American dimes and quarters re.
ceived here daily are going into the
fund to put "pep" in the poultry bus
mess in France. In the last three
months women wearing the French
blue uniforms of the Committee for
Devastated France distributed S,45f
chickens throughout the 100 towns in
their charge In addition they have
established two chicken farms in the
interior of France, capable of pro-
ducing 1000 chickens month for
use solely in the devastated regions.
Following the policy of the Amer
ican committee to aid and not to
pauperlze the people of the Aisne,
the chickens are sold at halfprice,
the present rate of sale being 10
francs. Money sent from America
makes up the remainder OF the cost
price. Incubators, moreover, are in
tsalled in number of towns down
on the front.
Besides chickens, Americans put
1O5 goats in the Aisne-to furnish
milk for war babies, 500 rabbits, as
we'll as ducks and cows, to furnish
food and give business START to
many IA French tom Sawyer.
Rolling stores on trucks carry sup
plies to towns where no stores are
open, no doctors present, and no
buildings habitable other than tenn
porary shelters, barracks and caves.

Comedy and dramatic suspense are

seldom that humor and the thrill of

In "A Sage Brush Hamlet" however,
there is a fight which combines the

matte action perfectly. We have seen
thrilling and comical fights on the

Douglas Island NeWs)
 In these stirring times when l. w. W's and Bol- shevik abroad in the land preaching sed1ton, living off the sweat of their jaws and stirring up trouble general, the following taken from the sec ond epstle of Paul the Thessaonians is very apt We would recommend that all our Red friends who .hink they advocating something new should read these passages from the Bible just to learn that st. Paul had their numbers in the olden days. The passages follow:
 6. Now command you brethren, in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw your selves from every brother that walketh disorderly, md not after tradition which he received of us IS; for we behaved ourselves disorderly among you
 s. Neither did we cat any mans bread for nough with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeabe to any of you
 g. Not because have not power, but to make ourselves ensampe unto you to follow us
 10. For when were with you this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neith- CT should he eat.
 II. For hear that there some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
 12 Now them that such we commend and exhort by Lord Jesus Christ that with quiet ness they work and their bread.
 13. But ye, brethren, be no weary in well do ing.
 II. And if any obey not our work by this pistle, that man. and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
 15. Yet count him not an enemy, but admon- ish him as a brother.

AMERICAN LEGION AS EMPLOYMENT
 AGENCY

Eliminating the work slacker' is the new Job which the Ameiicnn Legion has taken upon 1tsell acting in conjunction with the War Departments s chain of employment bureaus throughout the coun try This type of eN-service man, while not numer ous js occasionally serious detrment to the WorF of placing soldiers and sailors in satisfactory JopS Their attitude of shftlessness after getting the pac cause dissatisfaction among employers who are really trying help, and gives black eye to other seic men who still need work.
 Practically all the posts of the Legion now nave employment committees In some cases lhese com mittees have taken all the task of finding JoD for their fellow service In other localities they cooperate with the War Department In Bridge port Conn., where the work stacker has been ser ious ev the Legion keeps special file o such case of repeating in jobs As rule heart-to-heart talk from comrade in has been enough In other cases refractory man has been denied the serVlce of the employment office altogether
 In Detroit the Legion works also with the police. When an ex-sodier in uniform is taken up for some minor offense, like begging or peddling, propa tionary system has adopted. Instead of send ing these ail the authorities have consented to put them on probation with the American Legion This practice has had sautary effect and De troit's problem of putting to work every returned fighting is no longer so serious
 In practically all states, the employment commit tee of the Legion makes canvass of all the employers. Wherever jobs offered returned sol diers the employers told that the Legion expects to keep in touch with the men in places in order to see they give satisfactory service If this s not forthcoming, the Legion gives such men short shrift. On the other hand the deserving ex-servicc man who needs employment will have his case per sisted until he is placed. Work slackers have to appear before committee of their comrades.
 In many places local chambers associations Of manufacturers have agreed with the Legion to have a job for every home coming soldier and sailor
 In commenting upon the nation wide cooperation of the American Legion, Major General William C. Iaan Assistant Chie of Staff, in charge of the War Departments unemployment program, says:
 To-day American Legion has become
