FRANCE ISN'T WORRYING.
Kansas Clty Star

From the Kansas City Star.
 The advance of French army into
 Germany's great industrial region of the Ruhr now seems inevitable and if
 that step is taken next week number of prophets will find themselves on trial. For naturally there are differ ences of opinion as to the results this occupation will have.
 Will Germany once she sees this penalty imposed, yield to the repara- tions demands in order to quickly omic grip. or will she accept the action and allow the French to pay themselves out of customs revenues There is head shaking opinion here and there that if Germany's industries are taken away from her she will be rendered incapable of paying any Preparations at all, and that the French will find the military cost of the occu- patton will eat up all the revenue she collects. This opinion, urged as an economic one, has an offshoot. It is contended by the healing peace dele gation that the occupation will en- gender fresh bitterness that eventual iy will lead to new franco-German war.
 Probably France is willing to do all the worrying that those questions seem to involve. If Germany gives
 in and pays France will be saved some trouble and effort. If Germany doesn't give in, France is willing to take the trouble and make the effort. So far as German bitterness is con cerned it seems little late to weigh
 that consideration. France isn't try ing particularly in these proceedings
 to win German love. The allies don't
 contend that the payment of repara- tions hurts them more than it does Germany and the French particularly
 are willing that Germany should know she is paying.
 So whatever the uncertainties in- volved in the program we are not like ly to see any wavering by France. If collections are poor she will merely have to stay the longer. She can af- ford to tarry in Westphaiia much bet ter than Germany can afford to have her.

But ne use sugar with many aslser things tI'At from ' sgastronQmi- Ssl point of view night be better without them. There is danger that our custom of sweetening things will cause us to lose our appreciation of the fine flavor of nnsweetened tea and coffee, the Autty taste of grains, and the natural taste of mild fruits. With their true flavor concealed by sugar these things lose some of their piquancy, and we do not have the variety of fiavors that we would have if we used the saccharine material less greedily.

HOUSE OF MY HEART.

 A cot know, low-eaved and trim, With glossy box-wood, green and
 prim,
 To hedge 1t all about; Tall. pointed poplars in a row, A door-stone broad and wide and low Der which the feet of children go A4dancing in and out. Along it's patterned garden ways The red rose mods, the white rose
 sways
 In every passing breeze; Straight ranks of martial hollyhocks Stand guard where drowsy four
 o'clocks And scented mignonette and stocks Give harbof to the bees. An, little house all white and trim, Within your box and popiars prim, Soft lawns and garden scheme figure and plan and scheme To find some way to make you seem Less like deftlv painted dream Within a garden book.

THE PEOPLE GOT IT.

From the Southwest American.
 Alicia Du Pont of the powder Du Fonts was rolling in riches" She also was haunted by desire to live in better home than anybody. So she paid si 200 an acre for 26O-acre farm. Then she built $1 100000 .OOO worth of house and out buildings. Then she paid $200,000 for furnish ings. Then she died. Text for a moral story.
 But there is more. Last month her executor sold the property which cost nearly a million and a half at auction for $470,000. What became of the lost million?
 Easy. It got away from a swollen gunpowder fortune and the public got it. Somebody got $312, ,000 for a farm which somebody began to spend. Then think of the building material. men, laborers, mechanics, artisans and decorators who got their share of the division; also the manufacturers of furniture and furnishings That way lies the trail from the spending millionaire back to the public.

County Agricultural Notes

Mir. George B. Easterwood, an en- ergetic farmer from Kansas City, who has recently bought farm near Cove is completing arrangements with the county agricultural agent to ter race his land. At terracing demon stration, Mir. Easterwood's farm last Thursday, four or five farmers of the neighborhood were present and ex- pressed much interest in the work. Altho the terraces were located on one field, the recent rains made it im- practicable to build the terrace at this time. Mir. Easterwood is making arrangements with the county agent to assist in building a terracing drag, and in constructing one or two model terraces; after which he expects to continue the work in cooperation with his neighbors.

 The farmers at Hatton have recent ly organized the Hatton Truck Crow CTS Association with W. H. Towsley president and w Bismark secretary. The county agent met with the new fiedged organization Friday at which time the sweet potato growers decid- ed to build a curing house at that point. The farmers are not only planning to produce and market sweet potatoes thru their association. but other truck crops as well. Before the meeting adjourned Friday twenty acres had been pledged to sweet po- tatoes, and the association had select ed committee to solicit further acre a plonc ora ha{xrr oln 4 building committee to DeQueen to study the large cooperative houses in that vicinity and thus obtain first hand practical information about the vari- ous details of building, grading, pack ing, handling and marketing. The county agent is expecting to accom- pany the committee on the trip. Such painstaking attention to details and carefulness in business management are sure to bring results. Be sure you are right, then go ahead,v is a maxim that never fails. Farmers in other communities will watch with in- creased interest the activities of the Hatton Truck Growers Association. :: .: ::

.,ppry rop THE UNFORTUNATE

The Star does not recall eny session of court that went so far as that Of the present term in tempering justice vish mercy, and surely none that thru this very element, has made the recording. day by day, of the court news SO pleasant task And the culnalnatiofi of this came with the re- port of the last day of the week when offenders of both sexes were given opportunities, and promised real as sistance, in living better and more useful lives.
 And.eThe Star chances to know all the nefcies, all the kindnesses, shown by the court officials have not and will not be made public. The spirit of humanity and love which seems to rule has spared erring ones from un- due suffering where it seemed such could be done without direct hurt or offense toward law and society.
 It may develop, as time passes, that in some of these instances of mercy the recipients may fail to meet the requirements, and thus cast re- lection upon the judgment of the court, but if this happens it will be but the exception to the rule, The Star feels sure, and will so be viewed by the public at large.
 Yes, respect for the law and for the courts should be expected, even demanded. but the world is coming to see that this respect will but grow as t becomes more apparent that law, while perhaps inflexible, may yet be administered with leaven of human love, and thus become more a friend than an enemy.
 And thus 1t seems to be in Polk county.
