Basel Sample Fair Will
Have Permanent Building;
America May Have Exhibit

Basel Switzerland, grows toward
being commercially one of the most
cosmopolitan cities in the world. Into
stations come the railway lines from
London. Paris, Rotterdam, Hamburg,
Christiania, Copenhagen, Stockholm,
and Berlin to the north and west and
TO the south and east from Italy, Po-
land, Austria, and the Balkan states.
Thus Basel sits conveniently at the
center of the newly arranged CONNER
cial map Of Europe, and becomes its
natural market place. One may date
this state of affairs from the begin
ming of the annual sample fair at
Basel two years ago, and the increas-
ing number Of firms that see the ad-
vantage Of bringing their samples
show that the exhibition has a more
and more important place in the busi-
The state government of the Canton
thinks so well of the sample fair that
some 100000 francs have been ex-
pended to erect permanent building
for 1t; and manufacturers in England
have gone farther and are projecting
a permanent exhibition in Basel Of
English-made goods. Although no
mention Is yet made of the United
States. II Is hardly likely, in the awak-
ening of American exporters and man
ufacturers to the possibilities of Eu-
ropean trade, that the sample fair
will go on indefinitely without an
American section.

FOREIGN SERVICE MEN
TO RECEIVE MEMORIAL
FROM FRENCH GOVT

The French Government has publish
ed memorial booklet to be issued to
all officers and men who served with
the A. E. F. in France. This memorial
will be distributed through the Ameri-
can Legion.
In an eloquent introduction, appears
this high tribute to American Soldiers:
"At the most critical moment of the
struggle which had lasted for three
years against German Imperialism, you
came as strong youths into a country
where the young had perished. To the
weeping, you brought smile, to those
who had been despoiled your generos-
ity restored hope, to the fatherless
children you offered JOY. The suming
up of these recollections must remain
an inspiration to you, and those that
follow you, in all future efforts"
The memorial, in fact is history in
tabloid form of Americas participation
in the War, beginning with Cantigny
where the gallant 1st Division made
history, to the attack on the heights of
Sedan, just before the Armistice was
granted.
Will all ex-members OF the A. E. F.
please send their names and addresses
at once to A. B. DICKIE, of East Jor-
dan.

HINTS FOR
POULTRY GROWERS

At this season of the year fowls are
likely to have colds. 1t is true that
the weather is pleasant as a general
rule, but that does not keep fowls
from disorders more or less annoying
to them.
The most common head and throat
troubles Of fowls are colds and ca
tarrh. The symptoms of colds are
running, dirty and stopped-up nostrils.
The symptoms of catarrh are difficult
and rapid breathing, with mouth open.
and whistllng or bubbling in throat
due to phegm. These troubles are
most common In fall and winter, and
are easily overcome.
Simple colds and catarrh can be
prevented by removing the above caus-
es and breeding constantly for health
and vigor. To treat, search out and
isolate In separate quarters all infect
ed fowls and give stimulating food
seasoned with cayenne pepper, or the
following tonic:
Pulverlzed gentian, one pound; pull
verized ginger. quarter pound pulver-
lied saltpeter, quarter pound; pulver-
lied iron sulphate, quarter pound.
Use two TO three tablespoonfuls of
the tonic TO ten quarts Of dry mash.

GERMANY SHORT OF RUBBER
Articles Of All Kinds Scarce on Mar
kets of Former Empire.


Germany's Industrial situation con
tinues to be paramount problem for
public discussion. Almost every news
paper In the country has been devot-
ing one or two columns daily to sug-
gestions and criticisms Of the indus
trial policies adopted by the national
assembly.
No relief Is In sight so far as the
editors have been able to foresee. ow-
ing to the coal shortage, lack of trans
pOrtation and the scarcity Of raw ma
terials still to be faced.
The demand for rubber and rubber
products appears to be increasing, rub
her articles of all kinds being particu
lariy scarce on the market. Prohibi-
tive prices have been paid recently in
Cologne and other Rhineland cities by
dealers from the interior Of Germany
for old automobile and bicycle tires.
Millions OF marks worth of salvaged
rubber goods have been sold by the
American. French and British army
authorities to the Germans but this
supply apparently has not relieved the
demand In the least.

0ld-Time Sailors Would

Time was when sailors would not

Tattoos were considered essential
for bon voyage. especially the butter

Follow-up of
Country Clubs
Extension Worker Comes To
County Next Monday.

Miss Margaret Hutty of East Lansing
who is connected with the federal en-
ployees, as an extension worker, comes
to the County, Monday, Jan. 18th. She
will spend Monday and Tuesday in
lecturing to the County Normal STU
dents on the M. A. c. plan of club or
ganization. This is a plan which the
Agricultural College took up last year
and which they find works very well
in preparing for future club leaders.
She has written the Commissioner of
Schools that she will 90 with her We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday to visit
the clubs in the county. Tne boys and
girls already know Miss Hutty since
she visited them in November. and en-
couraged them in the work they were
undertaking. She promised at that
time to come again, to see the garments
made by the sewing clubs, to find out
how the book-keepers were getting
along in their new lunch records, and
what the boys could make in the newly
improvised work-rooms.
The itinery, includes, this time, the
Ranney School, Rock Elm, Walker
School, Ironton, johnson School, Bur-
CESS and Bay Shore. At each place the
clubs organized will be assisted in
every way and few new ideas left be-
hind.
We are especially fortunate in having
an expert like Miss Hutty come to us
in our work. Since she is paid from
the federal appropriation, she comes to
us without additional expense, but
gives us the benefit of her years of
training and of her enthusiasm for her
work.

THOUGHTS OF WISE MEN

Discontents arise from our
desires oftener than from our
wants.
Getting on is largely a matter
of getting up each time you are
knocked down.
Sorrow does not really change
people; ii only develops what is
already in them. That which
they bring to it they will reap
from it.
The mood in which we begin
