MAKING "SPIES'' OF CHILDREN
GsaeAESesa6 AN-

TWO neopIe marry and build a home for themselves in which little voices are son hard. All goes we'll for while, then the breach begins. It widens under suspicion and mistrust. and after while the desire to be rid of the bonds is born. The husband suspects the wife - but can prove nothing-so when he comes in he takes the child aside and questions 1t. The child answers simply, often sup plying unask ed-for information. Later on that innocent child is dragged into the divorce court to testify against the mother Who bore him. Some day he will know the meaning of sin. and what must be that child'S feeling when he members that he was the innocent cause of the separation be- tween the parents!
 Quite recently a woman confessed that her whole childhood had been spoiled because her mother had all ways set her to watch her father. He was a good father, but like many another one, had weakness for drink In their yard was a summer home, and from there she could see the sumshop which her father patron ized Here she would be stationed for hours to watch for him and to report later to her mother. She had been told that he inherited this weakness from his father and would come to some bad end. It destroyed her nat ural love and respect for him and to the day of his death she could never overcome it.
 The parent who will be guilty of this certainly does not think of the oh; z, ,eiI Ia oq K Ton nd derstanding comes all too soon, and it is unfair to burden the mind of a child with it; especially when it brings dislike and distrust of its other parent with it. One parent has as much right to the love of a child as the other and will have it if the child's faith is left undisturber. Few

GERMAN OFFICERS WISH FOR RETURN
 OF FORMER DAYS

Berlin, July 27.-No one in Ger many signs more fervently for "the good old days" of the Kaiser than the former army officer. Forced off the government payroll by the re- auction of the army, untrained for work other than soldering, and so generally disliked by the population that he has difficulty in finding an. kind of employment, the officers lot in democratic Germany is a hard one. His pre-war world, in which he strutted about as the privileged pet of his emperor, has been utterly de- stroyed.
 Many have been reduced to ex- treme financial straits. The middle aged ex-officer gets a pension of B. 500 marks year, but that is only about a fifth of the amount required to maintain a family. So urgent is their need that a movement has been set on foot to form an ex-officers' association for the purpose of induc- ing the government to provide them with land and subsidies
 A former officer, dolefully discuss ing with the correspondent the plight of himself and his fellows, remarked that the expression once current in the United States. "There's no good Indian but dead Indian" applied precisely nowadays to the German public's attitude toward the officer class.
 Private soldiers bear out this statement. "At the beginning of the war; one said, "the troops were fond of their officers, who ate the same food, carried their own packs, and shared the hardships of the men, But most of the regular officers were quickly killed off, and those left were sent away from the lines for staff and other duties.
 Their places were taken by re- serves, who were an entirely different lot. They had to have special kit chens and milk and plenty of wine. They refused to march with the troops always riding in automobiles, and making the men carry their packs. They were buIlies and tyr- ants, and the men grew to hate them. The civilian population felt the same way. I was in Belgium when the armistice was signed, and when we withdrew to the Rhineland the people there were willing enough to provide lodgings for us privates but they refused to have officers in their homes. Those fellows now are only getting whats coming to them"
 In a number of cases ex-offfcers nave Iounu tnemselVeS inadvertently applying for work to the very pri- yates they once commanded These former soldiers, business men and shopkeepers, take keen delight. it is said, in turning down their old su- pertors. Many of the young ex-of- f1cers are taking up engineering and other technical lines, starting at the bottom of the ladder as manual workers in. overalls.
 After the first revolution it was a risky thing for an officer to appear on the streets in uniform. They were emboldened by the Kapp coup last March and since then have been showing themselves in increasing numbers, especially student reserve officers. who are easily identified by their pale faces slashed with fresh | sword cuts received in duels

UNITED STATES WAGES CAMPAIGN
 AGAINST FIRES

Washington, July 29.-Se1dom, if ever, does the government advise speculation, but the Department of Agriculture says:
 If you have got to gamble, take a flyer on the stock market or play the ponies, but don't take a chance on fire" It gives this advice in a cir cular in it's campaign against forest fires.
 Tt never pays to take a chance with fre, says the circular. 'tThe biggest fires In history were started by those who didn't think the woods would burn. Be as careful of fire IS you are of powder; it's just as dan gerous"

National Crop Improvement Service.1 T N GRADING all grain, espe-
 cially corn, the moisture con A tent must be taken into con- sideration. Sometimes even a chemical analysis may be neces- sary in close decisions.
 The maximum of moisture for No. l wheat is 13.5 per cent and the most moisture allowed in any wheat is 15.5 per cent. Shel1ed corn varies from IA to 23 per cent before it is considered sample grade.
 The test is simply made by plac- ing a weighed sample of the grain in a flask with oil and heat ap- piled to drive off the moisture into a gauge.
 The board of trade sampling room in Chicago has tested thou sands of cars every season. Many country elevators have small mois- ture testers and it is recommended
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-07-29

that high school laboratories be also equipped so that farmers and others in the country may learn what moisture really means.
 In the examination of the sam pies of grain inspected, a standard sample is used as a gauge and in case of doubtful grade, which is very near the line, a comparison is made with the standard, and a final decision thus made.
 If any party at interest, either buyer or seller, should complain to the state grain inspection depart ment and fail to have his complaint properly or favorably considered by them, 1t is the custom of the board of trade to listen to his complaint, and If it is in their judgment req sonable, the other parties at inter- est shall be notified and tIfe matter taken up by the grain committee with the state department, every body being given an opportunity to be heard.

Paris, July 29.-The Queen of Ru- mania taught luxury buying folk a good lesson recently when she enter ed an antique shop. She picked up an amber statuette and asked the price, "One hundred and twenty pounds" was the reply. That's too much for me-" said the Queen and her daughter Princess Elizabeth, who was with the Queen, added: They must think we are Americans"
