has, of course been used in the Eu-
ropean war to effect, as far as posi-
BILE, concealment by disguise. In
time "camouflage" came to be super
seded by "dazzle- painting" which ap-
piled mainly to the work done at
sea for deceiving the enemy. The
term "dazzle-painting" originated
with Admiral Greatorex, through
whom it was adopted by the British
admiralty. 1t achieved the most ex-
traordinary results, well known
ships being so completely disguised

Origin of the Word Camoufage.

1t would be interesting to know
how many people who have taken,
with a kindliness which has become
somewhat monotonous, to the word
"camoufage," in their daily conver-
sation, are aware of it's origin. Cam
outage was a word coined and used
by the Paris Apaches, those ingen-
ious inventors of language, to ex-
press their method of making quick
disguise or an alteration OF dis
guise. Of recent years "camouaage''

FOCH REBUKED IMPUDENCE.
Would Not Stand for Conduct OF Ger
man Who Lacked Courtesy.

The tactlessness, or perhaps ratner
the utter mental obtuseness, of the
average Prussian is we'll illustrated
nv a breach of the proprieties COM
mitted last fall when Germany made
her appeal for an armistice, the Of
fender being no less a. parsonage
than Gen. Hans Won Winterfeldt'
chief military plenipotentiary OF the
mission sent by Germany to call on
Marshal Foch to arrange for terms.
It appears that General Won Win
terfeldt, who should have been well
Informed on points of military cour-
tesy since he was reared at the court
of Berlin and later spent many years
in Paris as military attache, some
months before the outbreak OF the
war and was seriously injured in an
automobile accident while attending
maneu4ers of the French army in the
south of France. He was tended with
the utmost solicitude by the most
eminent French surgeons. During his
illness President Poincare called on
him and decorated him with the cross
of officer of the legion of honor.
When the war broke out Winter
feldt took charge of the espionage
service of the German government
at San Sebastian in Spain, doing no
end of harm to the people who had
treated him with such consideration.
How the Prussian general reused
the ire of the French marshal during
the armistice negotiations is thus re-
lated by a writer in the New York
Evening Sun:
Marshal Foch received the German
delegates in the railroad car which
he made his home and which was
then switched on siding in the
forest of Compiegne. When the Ger
man emissaries were ushered into his
presence and Won Winterfeldt salu-
ted, the ordinary impassive marsha's
eyebrows, for once in the war, went
up. No wonder. For the German
general had had the incredible i'm
pudence to don for the occasion the
cross of officer of the legion of honor,
bestowed upon him by President
Poincare before the war, in total dis
regard of the fact that all French dis
tinctions, bestowed upon Germans
had been Cancelled by the war, in the
same way that French naval and mil
itary men and citizens had
"scrapped" every German decoration
that they had received.
Before returning the salute Mar
shall Foch, fixing his eye on the
legion's cross and red ribbon on the
generals breast, exclaimed, in the
most sharp and cutting tones: "Mon-
sieur! authorize you to remove that
cross at once from your breast!'
General Won Winterfeldt, thor
oughly disconnected, removed it, and,
instead of laying it down on the ta-
BILE, placed it rather sheepishly and
awkwardly in his pocket. It was
then that Marshal Foch acknowl-
edged the salute and consented to
proceed to business.
The presence of General Won Win
terfeldt, of all others, on the Ger
man delegation seems to have had
an exasperating effect on the French
officers appointed to deal with ihm,
and it is not surprising under the
circumstances that he soon insisted
upon withdrawing from the mission.

This farm should produce under
averake conditions in this county OF
Calhoun, 8. c., food sufficient to feed
the horse that plows it and twelve
loo-pound bales Of cotton (three bales
OF which shall be taken for rent OF
land) and 27e bushels of cotton seed.
This makes a balance and leaves
the farmer nothing for his time and
attention.
I have been farming for the past
forty years and ] am thoroughly
familiar with cotton production, have
also had many years experience in
general merchandise business, supply
ing fertilizers and supplies to farm

For the purpose Of estimating the
cost Of production by the producer
by the experienced business man and
by the experienced banker, ! have
selected various men from our State.
The result is aptly furnished by the
following statements, which are in
line with the various statements re
ceived. These statements are from
three men Of unquestioned veracity,
fine business judgment, long business
experience and men who have been
actively engaged in farming for over
a quarter Of a century; men who

satisfied it would result in assisting

years, and have also been actively en-
gagged in cotton for the past ten years.
All past years must be left out Of any
calculation in finding the cost OF the
1919 crop, for the reason that all val
ues have advanced out Of all reason.
Labor and fertilizers cost three times
as much as they did at the beginning
Of the war.
The calculations herein are made
with the actual cotton planted on this
one-horse farm, and the expenses are
figured only for the actual working
period, my only object being to find
out what it will actually cost to pro-
duce a pound of cotton. The owner OF
this farm gets nothing for himself out
Of this farm except his profit of s96.5O
and he will not get this profit if his
cotton is damaged by storm or other
wise and is reduced in grade, also pro-
yided he gets thirty cents for his cot
ton and $50 for his seed. have not

Nebraska Is Fourth State
In Production of Butter
Output Of Diaries of State Amounts to 62,6865l6
Pounds of Butter Annually, Which, Figuring the
Product at 70 Cents Pound, Would Net Nearly
$44,000O00. ..'

Fifteen years ago Nebraska was
pretty well down at the foot OF the
list of butter producing states. OF
course there were cows on the farms
and there were some dairies scatter
ed through the river counties and
back in the interior, but Nebraska
did not boast Of its butter produc-
ton.
About 10 years ago it was dis
covered that the succulent grasses
of the Nebraska prairies contained
the properties that made milk rich
in butter fat. Then it was that the
state commenced to come into its
own as butter producing area.
Creameries were located at many
points, with a number of the largest
ones in Omaha.
Now in Fourth Place.
Since the beginning of butter
making as a business, Nebraska has
forged to the front, advancing to
fourth place from the top, last year
the butter output having been o.
686,5l6 pounds. This is quantity
sufficient SO that every man,
woman and child in the United
States could have better than one
half pound of Nebraska butter to
spread on their bread. Were this
butter all moved at one time, there
would be quantity sufficient to
fill something like $50 freight, or
refrigerator cars of 10000 pounds
capacity, each. Sold at the going
prices of about 20 cents pound, it
would bring pretty close to $44,-
100000, all of which goes to show
that Nebraska is some COW state.
Manager Thomas of the bureau
of publicity of the Omaha Chamber
of Commerce has compiled figures
relative to the butter production
of the country. This compilation
shows that Minnesota leads, the
output for last year having been
121 ,90o,314 pounds. Iowa comes
second with 84,S8s,4O4, Wisconsin
third with 82,862,337 pounds and
then Nebraska, strong fourth.
New York Way Behind.
