FAMILY T. THIRTY-FOCR.

Washington, y. c., Dec. 14.--For
many years Representative Small Of
North Carolina has by agreement
been presenting to Il. G. Bland, Car
olina farmer and one of his cOnstit-
ucnts, a new suit of clothes for each
additional child in his family. Hav-
ing presented thirteen suits, and be-
ing recently notified to send the
fourteenth, Representative Small has
informed Bland that the contract will
be "oh' with Mr.. Small's retirement
from congress on March 3.
Small and Bland made their COM
pact Il number of years ago, when
Small was making IL campaign speech
at Rohersonville, near here. Bland
then had twenty children; he now has
thirtY-fOur.
TwCnty-siN of the thirty-four Bland
children are living, and the present
Mrs. Bland, BANDS second wife, is
the mother of nineteen, nine of whom
were born during the last ten year :
including one set of twins. Ell ,htCen
children still live at home, but Mrs
Bland declares she gets lonesome some
times because SO many have gone
away"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bland recently had
a group photograph taken Of the
family still remaining on the Bland
farm. While the photographer was
working buZzard cast its shadow on
the ground. Bland was asked if he
was superstitious
"NO,' he said, I'm not afraid Of
buZzards, but at first / thought the
blame thing was story"
! In calling the children together for
the photograph, Bland simply cup
ped his hands and in a stcntorian
voice cri "Chldrcn." Results were
immediate. Children appeared from
every direction. Some of, the chill
dren' were grown men and women;
others were barely able to toddie
J forth, and one still was being carried
| in arms.
Bland says it is no more trouble
to bring up fifty children than it is
20 raise ten.
After vou pass ten" he says, the
older ones are Il big help"
The children were not unusually
noisy, Bland said, although they
made considerable racket when four
teen were taken down together with
whooping cough" The Bland gro
Gerry bill is equivalent TO about a
$50 Il week, although Bland pro-
duccS large part of his food. On
one occasion ne says he spent most
Of one night computing the cost of
keeping his family comfortable. but
| that the figures reached such alarm
ing proportions he gave up the job.
| Bland is 65 years old.

II doubt whether any other RED

pOndent.
I'm April ! saw the devastated re-
SiOnS of France from Chateau Thier-3
! ry TO Rheims, an awful sight which
may be commended to those who are
willing TO take the risk OF another
great war. Save for a few barracks
and isolated places of repair little
had been done to rebuild.
To-day in the midst of equal de-
VaStation, there is hardly a town i'm
! Italy in which 20 per cent of the
houses have not been renewed or re
paired for occupancy, and the proper
! tion is usually from SO to 65 per cent
! The refugees, most of them still livS
/ ing in the government barracks, are
hard at work New houses on hand
some Italian models are going up
every week. The second story may
have been destroyed, but if the first
has walls il is rooted and made ha-
bitable for the time.
THE courage and resourcefulnesS
of war time was not greater than is
that Of peace, and both call for the
admiration of the world. This needs
TO be accentuated because Italy has
had SO much to contend with, first in
the failure of this years crops OF
wheat and corn: next, from the cloud
bursts and Hoods; and, third from
the disturbing industrial conditions.
Fortunately. the season has been good
foI building and that every man in
Friule seems to have become car
penter or mason. Still. this region
with all the aid to reconstruction
that the government can give, faces a.
winter of hardship and severe cold.
The people of Trieste are not only
brave and industrious. but gentle and
courteous, and like most Italians, they
respond to treatment. We saw no ev-l
idence OF current violence, which in
deed is not directed against travel
ers, but is either Industrial or politi-
cal and is local. -
The machinery for silk and cotton
manufacture was all carried off by
the AuStripnS.
Most Of the inhabitants have had to
begin at the bottom, but they are used
TO the conflict of nature, and with
fairly normal conditions, and a good
harvest or two, the region will be we'll
restored.
Ambassador Johnson compared the
Italian battlefield on the Carso, with
the fields OF famous battles of the
American civil war, and declared that
! nothing at Gettysburg or Bloody
Angle was more difficult than the as
sault by which the Italians won

Let it not be forgotten that the
Italians held front of 42O miles.
