that while Paris before the war was

it has now become their permanent
abode, so thatfhe Parisians are crowd
ed out into the suburbs or unable to
find an apartment in the city.
The writer says that II you take a
census of the average apartment you
will find that it contains .Belgians
who left when the Germans came,
Russians driven out by bolshevism,
French families from the devastated
regions who seem to like it where they
are. American students with their
omnipotent dollars. Englishmen trying
to do business and representatives OF
the Balkan states. Poland, Turkey and
other distressed and unsettled regions
who are living on the Lord only knows

ENGLAND HAS A new CLASS

England has no, pouveau riche-the

to in England today, according to Miss
Clarissa Spencer who has just re-
turned from London as representative
of the overseas department Of the \.
W. @. A. In addition to England
Miss Spencer visited European coun-
tries to further the work Of the Y.
w. G. A. in explaining their peoples
one to the other through the medium
Of their women.
Not starvation, nor LONELINESS, but
the humdrumness Of life is~the tragedy
Of u great portion Of English young
women" Miss Spencer says: "YOung
men are few.
For most of the girls who had
been engaged to be married and for
many who had just married at the
opening of the war, life now holds
little but the long years ahead. Some
of them, Of course, will marry. But
many more will brave the endless sue
cesslon of days, each the same color
as the last" 1
Few English girls are idle. Most OF
them earn their living now. What
has struck Miss Spencer SO forcibly Is
that work, food and shelter become
meaningless to the vast number OF
England's girls who no longer look
ahead to homes of their own.
Miss Spencer believes that not 81
many English girls are coming to this
country as are going to England's own

CULLINC CAMPAIGN
IN GREAT FAVOR

The Farm Bureau poultry culling
campaign, put on in cooperation
with agricultural extensionists OF the
state university, is everywhere get
ting results. N. E. Chapman, poultry
extensionist from University Farm,
is giving several culling demonstra-
tions almost every day before good
sized crowds. Everywhere his work
is strongly endorsed by the press.
The Herald Dispatch of Sleepy Eye,
Brown county, reflects the. general
good opinion in which the University
Farm poultry extension work is
held. 1t says:
"The chicken industry is the best
developed of any industry in this
county, and it is second only to corn
as a money maker. The high stage
of it's development is in a large
measure due to the advise and in
struction given by Mr.. Chapman to
the fanciers of the county" County
Agent F. M. %Bane is also compliment
ed by the Herald-Dispatch.
Five points emphasized by the
poultry leaders Of the university are
1, progress of the mott; 2, fading of
the color; 8, body conformation; a.
head points or sex characteristics; S,
condition Of bird as to flesh and
feathers. 10
