. POTATOES IN YOUR GARDEN. 4

One peck of medium sized seed pota-
toes, cut SO there will be two good eyes
to a piece and dropped one piece to o.
hill, will plant $50 feet of row, accord
ing to the United States department OF
agriculture. If seasonal and other con-
ditions are right this peck Of seed pO-
tatOes should produce at least sixteen
fold, or four bushels of potatoes. Some
home gardeners have grown six and
seven bushels OF early potatoes from a
peck of seed, but that is exceptional.
Sixteen pecks of potatoes, or As quarter
pecks, will provide the potatoes for at
least 4S dinners for a family Of five,
with some left from each dinner to be
fried for breakfast the following morn
ing.
Potatoes are important in the diet,
and early potatoes for home gardens are
especially appetizing. 1t may not pay
to crowd out the more intensive garden
vegetables in order to grow early pota-
toes, but wherever space will permit at
least one peck Of seed should be plant
ed. A good plan is to plant late sugar
corn between the potatoes about the
time the pOtatoe vines begin to show
signs of ripening. Then as the pOta-
toes are dug, hoe the soil around the
corn. Late cabbage plants are often set
between the potatoes and Il crop Of cab
bage is produced after the potatoes are
removed. 1t always pays to keep the
land working.

War Department Estimates
Sixty per Cent of Dead
Will be Returned
Here.
$1,000 U. S. GRAVES
Bodies Returned When Re-
quested'by Next Of
Kin.

Paris, April 10, Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-Representa-
tives of the American war department
here estimate. that about GO percent OF
the American soldiers buried in France
will be exhumed and taken back to
their native land. A little more than
1900 American burials have been reg
istered by the graves registration SER
vice and about 1900 Of these are III
France.
Not all of these soldiers will be re-
turned to American soil as the United
States war department proposes 10
carry back to America only those re-
auested by their next of kin. This
policy will result in leaving in France
those whose next of kin ask that they
lie left here and those whose removal
is not requested. 1t is understood also
that the unidentified American dead
will be left in France. .
Decision by the Franco-Ame:1ca1
commission that bodies Of American
soldiers buried in the zone of military
operations may be eXhumed anytime
after September 10 next ends a long
period of negotiations between French
and American authorities. The French
government desired to mes the wishes
Of the American nation but entertain
ed serious doubts as to the ACCESSIBILITY
Of removing the American dead from
the zone of operations this. year owing
to labor and transportation difficult
les involving the passing OF the bodies
over the railways and highways at a
time when the French population was
in the first stage of its recovery from
the economic and sentimental strain of
five years Of war. The French gov
eminent feared that the granting OF
such permission to America would
bring on clamOrous agitation from
other nations for similar permission
and that this would hamper the re-
Mobilization Of French industrial con-
dit1ons.
American officers, however, have
vigorously urged that the number OF
Americans in the zone Of operations
wvas relatively small that the ira
ditiOnal policy Of the United States
was to return its dead from foreign
soil and that the American government
could do no less than heed the pleas OF
those next Of kin who insisted that the
bodies of their relatives be returned
to their homes.

1.20o Writing to France.

Twelve hundred students of French
in the high schools and colleges Of
Iowa are corresponding with Fieich
students in French colleges and
schools, writing to correspondents pro-
vided by the department Of French at
the University of Iowa. Practically
all these students have now received
replies direct from the young peop'e
to whom they are writing, II both
in France and in America friendship
between the two countries is being
further cemented and students are
learning another tongue and improv-
ing themselves in its use.
Sixty educational institutions in the
state, including public schools in vari-
Gus cities, are encouraging correspond
ence with French students as Il part
of their course in the French langl:-
age. In Sioux City and Davenport
there are at least fifty students in the
city high schools. Dcs Moines, Du-
buule and Cedar Rapids have large
numbers. Included in the colleges are
Cornell, Ames, State Teachers, Morn
insside, Upper Iowa, Graceland, and
others.
Opportunity is still offered to begin
correspondence, and the French de-
pa rtment at the university will provide
persons who wish to improve their
French with suitable and congenial
correspondents in France who are just
as anxious to learn English.

He Said Nothing, But

Saturday Evening Post At Il recent
labor conference in Washington onc of
the veneral leaders. to point out a les
son to a young hot-hcad, related the
following story:
"A farmer, lting short Of teams,
hitched D, mucl and an OK together to
help with the hauling. When the team
had gone a mile down the road the OK
stopped. lay down and refused to go
farther. The farmer said nothing !;
simply unhitched the animal. returned
it to the stable and made the mule pull
the wagon the rest of the day. That
night the OK spoke to the mule on
fidentially.
"What did the boss say today" he
asked.
Nothing that l hear" replied the
mule.
The next day the OK was hitched
with the mule again. This time he lay
down and quit mt the end of a half
mile. Again the farmer calmly I'M
hitched him. put him back in the stable
and made the mule do the hauling by
himself.
What did the boss say this timer
again asked the OK that night.
Il didn't hear him say anything re-
Piled the mule. but he's leaning over
the fence ont there talking to a butch
er."

when we so smimmi,f:',

Boy! it's great to shed your OXfords,
And to shake your happy rars,
When the summer sun is boiling in the
sky!
And it's swell to; trim your toc-nails
On the rocks and river snags,
And to bid the blistering bank Il brave
GoOd-by.
Fellows, we must hit the by-way
That goes winding in and out,
Wriggling right up to the waters, will
low-girt,
That's the highway, lads, that's my
way,
That's the road that suits a scout
And bids By-by to troubles, buds and
dirt. :.
How you dash in, how you splash III!
How you dive in if you dare:
Oh the happy thrill, the pu%lse-beat, the
delight:
How your head does split the water:
How your heels do hit the air:
How you vanish, as by magic, out OF
sight. y
Then you hob up with a shiver
Gently creeping down your spine,
Like a little tiger-kitten hunting game.
Oh, the CULVER of the river
When you shiver, amt 1T fine,
Don't it make the blOOmin bath-tuD
blush for shame!

Survey Of India Show That Hunger, Superstition, and
Caste Annually Cause Death Of Thousands of Babies.

They call them rubbish pile babies" in Bengal.
That is because every now and then they find a little helpless, wtinp-
e1ng bundle on top Of a rubbish pile; The bundle is a baby; and it is
always 4 grl-baby. Where it comes from, who are its parents, no ono
knows. It is just found, if it cries loudly enoughs-and someone chances
to be passing.
The solution to the mystery Of the rubbish pile baby" is not cruelty
but necessity Parents in India love their children as parents do the world
over. The way to the rubbish pile, with 2 little bundle of humanity that
is ones own daughter, is not easy.
But perhaps It is easier than watching the baby die, because there
is no food to keep it alive. 49,.
Hunger, superstition and caste are the hands that put little babies
Of India on the rubbish piles, report the Investigators of the Intcrchureh
World Movement.
Oncfourt,# of the population OF India, these investigators find. .
to bed hungry every night Thousands of babies die every month from
nanutriion and lack Of care.
To help eliminate such poverty, to. dipel such superstition, to bind
these forces that arc responsible for the rubbish pile babies" is 70 he
. major aim OF the Intrchutch World Movements program for inds.
