The latest bulletin of the French
commission in the United States calls
attention to the fact that within two
years after the armistice, France has
practically remade the vast area OF
her agricultural soil, which was pitted
and Scared beyond usefulness by the
ravages of the war. Figures received
by the commission show that out OF
100000 acres which were rendered
lunfit for cultivation by the effects of
battle from 1914 to 1918, only $780,
600 acres will not be in a condition to
permit of sowing next spring. The
rest of the agricultural area has been
restored. or will be restored, by the
end of the current year. The reports
to the commission show that 100000
aeresA or more than half of the devas-
tated farm land, are already under
cultivation. The harvest has been so
good that the French government has
been enabled to cancel contracts for
the import of South American wheat
into France.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving Day in this year OF
our Lord 1920 probably is being more
thoughtfully observed than for many
years. In the reaction from the ten
sion since 1917 has come a calm, a
fresh perspective. born\ Of the greater
realization of what it means to be an
American, and a sense of thankfulness
for our own free birthright underIies
the observance of this Pilgrim ami
versary.
This year marks the three hun
dredth anniversary of the signing of
the Mayflower Compact and the land
ing of the Pilgrims. 1t is a far cry
from the first Thanksgiving meal of
five parched grains of corn to the elab-
crate dinner of today. 1t is a far cry
from the hardships faced by the 1O2
courageous pioneers who sailed on the
Mayflower to the ease and plenty we
now enjoy.
The developments of the past fifty
years probably would have been cred
tied 60 witchcraft by those early relf-
gionists. And while we have cause
to be appreciative for so many things
which they had not. yet 1t may be that
their gratitude to q kind Providence
measured up to the thanks voiced by
US today.

One of the reasons given by certain
legislators for their opposition to
American recognition of Russia with
in the next year or so is that it will
enlarge the opportunities for Boil
shevik propaganda in this country.
But we have demonstrated our ability
to take care of the Boisheviki. II
seems certain that Great Britain and
other countries will soon recognize the
Russian government. and will improve
their opportunities to trade with thaA
country, whose natural resources are
unparalleled. II the United States
continues in its refusal to recognize
the Russia government, it may find
itself confronted with serious handi-
caps in the matter of trade with that

Dorothy Dix Talks

Everybody Must Have Play Time-1.
A man of thirty-five is engaged to
a girl of twenty, and he wishes her to
marry him at once, but she puts off
the wedding and tells him that she is
wants to play around a little while
longer.
This makes the man feel that the
girl is of a frivolous character, and
doubt whether she will make him a
desirable wife.
I should take exactly the opposite
view. My opinion is that the girl is
remarkably level-headed, and that she
shows an amazing amount of common
sense in having her little fling before
she is married, instead of waiting to
do it afterwards, when there would be
ten times more trouble with jealous
husband than there is even with a
jealous sweetheart.
Doubtless this young woman has
been shrewd enough to observe two
things: the first is that the only play
time the average woman ever has. is
in the few years that lie between her
school days and her marriage day In
that brief space of time only has she
any liberty, or is she care-free. 1t is
the one picnic in her whole life, the
the years that many a woman ever
knows
If girl marries a poor man, her
marriage brings her life sentence at
hard labor. and such pinching econ
omies as wear the very soul to tatters.
II she marries a man who's tyrannical,
and grouchy, and cold, and hard, then
she kisses happiness goodby at the
altar, and her life is one long martyr
dom.
Even when she makes a fortunate
marriage, when she marries a man
who can make a comfortable living,
and who is tender, and kind to her,
she still is done with the light-hearted
enjoyment of girlhood, because mar
rage brings responsibilities, and bur-
dens, and the wife who has husband
to care for, and little children to look
after, must think of her duties before
her pleasures.
Our observing young friend has
doubtless taken note of these things,
and that it is only girls who laugh
much. Married women smile.
The second thing that she has noted
Is that If woman wants a man to
take her about to Places of amuse-
ment, shed better get it done before
they are married. For the man who
can dance all night with his sweet
heart won't two-step around the room
with his wife; and he who was a
never-failing supply of theater tickets
fore he will part with the price of the
movies, as g. husband. Therefore, on
all counts, the girl who likes to play
Is wise to have her play time before
she is married, and when she has a
playfellow.

officials are struggling to obtain or to
enforce is, Mr.. Berliner points out, an
elementary precaution. A herd of
cows is tested and none is infected
Six months later the test is again made
and one or several cows are found
tracted shortly after the firstitest, then
the milk from that herd may have
been laden with tubercle bacilli for
several months. The tuberculin test
is valuable to the dairyman in that it
may save his entire herd from infec-
ton, but it is not enough of a protec-
ton to the public. To give the public
clean milk. Mr. Berliner urges that
every city should insist on proper pas
teurization of its entire supply of milk
and cream.
Pasteurization destroys 80 per cent
of the bacilli which flourish in milk,
even from well-managed dairies.
Cleanliness in dairy farming is grow
ing, and the proportion of pasteurized
milk and cream is steadily increasing,
thru pressure of health officials and
demands of the public. and also be-
cause the dairy business is grad
ually separating from the general
farm. Special precautions and cere-
monies, that often seem so much extra
trouble to the busy farmer who sends
a few gallons of milk to town as
side line, become an accepted part of
the routine on a large dairy farm.
With growing efficiency in the dairy
business and the dairy farmers or
ganizing, the milk outlook Is more
hopeful than it has been tho it will
be some time before the United States
is raising 100000 cows instead of
its present herd of 100000 and
everybody is drinking the proper
amount OF milk to keep his diet prop
erly balanced.
