GRATUIToUs SERVICE
For France and United States Proposed
By New Lafayette Station.

Paris. Dec. 2s.-In turning over in
formally the new Lafayette wireless
station TO the French government a
few years ago, the American govern
ment has proposed that the station re-
ceive and send official messages, both
French and American, gratuitously for
an indefinite time
These would include, first, messages
from the departments Of the American
government particularly war, navy,
state and commerce, to their repre-.
sentatives and bureaus in France; see
ond. official messages from the Ameri-
can government TO the French govern
ment; third, dispatches TO the United
States government wireless stations
from its representatives in France.
In return the United States promises
that the Annapolis station will per-
form the same service for the French
government, free of charge. This large
amount of business is now being hand
led by the-private cable and CONNER
cial wireless companies.
This suggested innovation, which
originated with the navy depart ment
is being seriously considered by the
French government, although il be-
lieves Il would carry by far the larger
load. and although il had planned to
leave the station entirely free during
peace time to handle only commercial
business. The wireless stations Of the
French government are used by the
ministry Of war during time Of war.
The Lafayette station, which is 20
miles from Bordeaux, j. now actually
being operated by the French ministry
OF posts. and sent TO North and South
America most Of the press reports Of
the meeting Of the league Of nations
assembly At Geneva.
The station was started during the
war by the American navy department
and at the armistice the French gov
eminent arranged with the navy to FIN

bodies of the American soldiers buried
at Bony cemetery, all men of the 27th
New York National Guard and 30th

to-day. Of LIT bodies in the cemetery
about 900 will be returned to the Unit
ed States and the remainder will not
be disturbed. Bony is to be one OF the
four permanent cemeteries in France,
and other bodies will be moved into the
cemetery, but this work will not start
until the work of sending bodies to
America has been completed.
1t is the first big battlefield Gene
terry to be reached by the army exhu-
nation units. The district is so dew
astated that there is no shelter for
the workers and train had to be pro-
vided to make quarters for them. The
winter weather has also set in and
movable sheds have had TO be built to
shelter the men while working.

CALIFORNIA; TEAM

New Years Day.

which is to play Ohio State at Pasa-
dena, Cal. New Years day, is con-
sidered as probably the best college

Blue and Gold gridiron juggeruant
not only was undefeated but ran up a
season total of 4s2 points TO its OPP
ponents IA and won the Pacific coast
conference title without apparently eN-
erting its full strength.
Elevens from many parts of the west
were defeated by California by over.
whelming scores. The University OF
Nevada, considered a fighting team,
came to Berkeley and lost 10 TO Z.
Next the University of Utah was beat
en- 63 TO o. Then Washington State
college. rating as the strongest Pacific
northwest team, came down expecting
to give California its first real test.
The Californians stood the test and
won 40 to 0. Later Washington State
defeated the University of Nebraska,
q to 90. Finally California defeated
its old rival Stanford university. 80
TO O. Stanford previously had beaten
the University Of Oregon, which last
year at Pasadena lost TO Harvard uni
versity by a small margin.
Records of many sorts were broken
bv the California team. The season
point total is the highest ever made
by any western college team and comes
close to the 500 point mark made ny
Michipan's eleven in 1902 Another
record smashed was in the Stanford
game when California won by 81 points,
the largest score by the Blue and Gold
against Stanford since 1899. Califor
MAS score of 1877 in the ST. Mary's
college game was the largest ever made
on a California field.

SUCCESS IN SMALL PLACES.
Plenty of Opportunity to Build Bust
ness in a Country Village.

To-day the place of opportunity is
the small town. The business which
may be done there is limited only by
the ability of the man and the draw
ing power of the English language.
Out in Iowa there was once a coun-
try boy who loved to grow things. He
would rather work his garden than eat,
and you know how boys like to eat.
His father encouraged him in this in
clination and he was soon growing
such bountiful crops, such wonderful
flowers, that his neighbors asked him
to save them some seed.
So he commenced to sell seed. First,
package here and there among his
neighbors, until the idea came to him.
"Why not go into the seed business :"
There were people everywhere who
were looking for honest seed and an
honest man from whom to buy them.
Henry Field, that was his name,
went into the seed business in his own
home town. Last year he did a bust
ness of 81 $4,000 81 His town, Shen-
andoah, has a population OF 5000 peo-
Pile 1t is only a matter OF IL or 10
years since Henry Field was investing
5000 in the business and making his
start. OF course. the bulk of Fields
business is conducted by mail but that
is no obstacle in the way of the small
town
In Thief River Falls, Mimi. there is
a country merchant who saved his
business by using the mail order idea.
His town has a population of 3,7l4 peo-
pie. His business was drawn almost
entirely from the surrounding country.
Last year he did business from his
town OF 300 people in excess OF one
million dollars!
There is a town in Indiana, Ayilla,
to be exact, which has population Of
900 people. Harvey Moore, former
barber, who is furniture retailer
there, does more than 81 900 week the
year round.
Mac Pruitt furniture dealer, who
lives at Clarinda, Ia, town boasting
population of 400 souls, didn't have
a dime eight years ago. He borrowed
800 on his home, bought stock OF
goods for 1850, and paid $500 down.
Then he rented q storeroom calling for
500 per month rent. Thus he started
out with less than $500 working cap
ital.
Last wear he did business of $780,
600. He keeps $4,000 stock of goods
on hand.
At Newton, Ia, the Maytag Washing
Machine company, nationally known
concern, is doing a business in excess
of $4,000, 600 this year; at Charles City,
Ia, the Hart -Parr company, manufac-
turing tractors, gas engines and other
farm machinery, does business run
ming into. millions; at Kellogg, Ia,
merely tank" station, is the Gould
Balance Valve company doing business
in all parts of the world and running
into millions annually. At Clay Cen
ter, Neb., country boy started an in
cubator company which has sold hun
dreds all over the world.-Chesla c.

A Friend Worth Knowing

We can have something we can abso'
lutely depend upon.
The next time you have any stomach,
liver or kidney trouble, and you are
not already acquainted with the won
derful merits Of SEVEN BARKS, ma
lures remedy of roots and herbs, we
urge you to give it trial, and we will
predict that it will become one Of your
most valuable friends from a medical
standpoint.
For nearly half century SEVEN
BARI<S has been valuable and timely
friend to all sufferers of stomach and
liver disorders. A trial will quickly
prove its wonder efficiency, and after
that you will never be without it and
gladly recommend it to your friends.
Doctors bills these days run into
money fast, and can often be saved II
you will but keep on hand a bottle OF
SEVEN BARKS. the old-fashioned
remedy that our parents and grand
parents used to keep their families

Washington, d. G., Dec 2s.-Resump-
ton of hearings on the redivision OF
freight rates between carriers OF New
England and trunk lines west of the
Hudson river was set for to-day before
the interstate commerce commission.
Chairman Clark planned to hear testi-
mony as to the ability of the trunk
lines to give New England roads a
greater share Of the freight receipts.
When the hearings closed several
weeks ago, II. Elliott, former presi-
dent of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, told the commission
that unless New England roads had a
greater share of such rates they prob
ably would go into the hands of re-
ceivers.
