SCARS Of WAR HEALING
RAPIDLY IN FRANCE
Front Line Fading at Soissons
and Forests Recovering
Fast.

Soissons. France. Aug. l6.~N Nature
Il making such rapid progress in heal
ing the scars or war in France that,
outside OF towns where ruins are still
standing, II win soon be impossible TO
discover the famous front line of four
years OF war without close examina-
ton.
H. has become evident that the
abandoned project Of maintaining in-
tact. as il existed at the close of hos
tilities. the line from Nieuport. in Bel
gium TO Belfort. as a lesson to future
generation. could not have been car
ried out excepting at an enormous ex-
pense.
Forests that were supposed to have
been annihilated have shown re-
narkable recovery. Positions that
were upheaved repeatedly until the
suhsoil covered the surface almost
completely, giving every appearance of
hopeless aridity. have been slowly
covered by vegetation.
Even the famous height along which
runs the Chemin des Danes (the
Ladies' way). is covered with thick
heritage. that remains green in spite
of the drought. In order to preserve
certain famous war scenes such as the
Rayonet Trench at Verdun. IL was
necessary to erect a shelter and pro-
tect the trench from the slow but sure
work OF nature in order to preserve
it as il was during the great battle.

New. York. Aug. 15.--Projects for
linking Manhattan with New Jersey
by vehicular tunnel and a bridge
are expected 10 diminish the number
of persons who reside on the island
below Central Park.
The resident population of lower
Manhattan decreased by 100000 In the
decade of 1910 to 1920 and every, time
new building IN erected IL seems to
shrink still more. This is because the
motive for nearly all construction
from Fifty-ninth street down ~ the
Battery is business. not bedrooms.
New means OF communication with
New Jersey are expected TO result in
further business upon lower Manhat-
tan's limited space.
New Jersey and New York are now
linked only by ferries. tube trains and
one railroad tunnelled beneath the
Hudson.
The vehicular tunnel built BY public
funds of New York and New Jersey
is expected to be completed by fast.
Construction of the approaches to tn.
tube was begun several months ago.

This bridge would rise from New
York near Fifty-Ninth street and de-

Most Of the ferries and all the tubes

SHEEP RAISING At A
PROFIT IN DELAWARE
Farmer Near Milford Has Fol.
lowed the Business With
Favorable Results.

From sheep growing the farmers OF
Kent and Sussex counties will get their
largest cash returns from stock grow.
Ing in tho next ten year. says the Mil
iord Chronicle. In Milford Neck
Clarence lester has stated publicly
that the largest money return from
his farm. as profit, will be from his
flock of sheep. He has raised sheer
fog several years and this spring the
sale of lambs made at very high
prices. brought to him cash profits far
beyond the results of other farm crops
produced in 1921. SO far.
MIR. Jester ~ an ex-member' of the
Legislature and is using an average
farsn OF Kent county in this section.
He devotes attention to the sheep at
proper time and success has followed
each season. There are forty farms
in that particular section of the Mill
ford District which will respond 20
sheep growing when accompanied by
careful management. The cost OF
meat Is far beyond what it should he
in all markets, but to increase the
supply of beef requires several years
for the grower to get his cattle to a
marketable age; hut, the sheep de-
veiop in the first or second year into
cash.
Delaware is a natural grass coun-
Try, regardless of the idea which many
people entertain. Her fields will pro-
duce the pasture. which even the
famed sections of the west cannot
excel. 1t is true that the pastures
wither under drought--in Delaware as
they do in other states. IL is true
that sheep will crop the grass close
and keep a pasture short, so that a
COW could not live on it but they
exist and thrive with only a very little
reinforcement of grazing or feed to
carry them over such periods.
Sheep growing in lower Delaware
will be successful. if the farmers will
act with. intelligence and diligence
in the care of the flocks. Mr.. Jester
has proved this right here in the
Tenth Representative district OF Kent
county, and what one man can do.
another can duplicate with profit.
Lazy contemplation. will not grow
lambs or mutton-but action, prompt
and with confidence. will get the
money return from the business and
help others to live better and with
less expense than they now have TO
maintainby buying their fresh meat
from the growers in other States.
