Guest of Nation Receives Ova-
tion During Brief Visit to
New York City.
A Popular Member OF
the Naval Social Set.

New York.-The great hero of the
World War passed through New York
on his way to Washington. He passed
after the manner of heroes, amidst the
booming of guns, the tumultuous cheer
ing of crowds and the waving Of bunt-
ing. For three hours an abandonment
Of welcome unequalled in the history
Of the city was accorded the slender,
grim-lipped, serious-eyed soldier who
led the Allied armies to victory.
1t was Marshal Ferdinand Foch,
himself, who thus took the city by
storm the great little Frenchman
whose triumph is still fresh in the
memories of those who welcomed him.
General John ]. Pershing, who help
ed him vanquish the German hordes,
was among the first to welcome him TO
the shores of America, Twenty-Five
thousand cheering citizens greeted him
at the Battery after the guns of the
United States navy had doomed their
salute across the bay. A triumphal
procession through the streets follow
ed At City Hall he was presented
with the freedom Of the city and ac-
claimed the first soldier and strategist
Of the age" From there he proceeded
to the Pennsylvania Station, crowds
fanking the streets to get glimpse of
him before he left for Washington.
Through all the demonstration Mar
shall Foch was quiet and tense. He
said little, betraying his emotions only
in nervous. ierky movements. His
keen, blue eyes held a faraway, strain
ed look. The lines of his mouth were
set and grim. He seemed to stand
apart, remote and solitary. Occasion
ally he smiled, but even in his smile
there was a certain WEAKNESS. His
slender, soldierly figure was garbed In
the horizon blue of the French army,
topped by the red cap of the marshal,
with its gold lace trimmings.

CRUSADE

This world will be a better place
when. peanuts are not sold; they are
a menace to the race, they're causing
grief untold, they bring us ruin n
disgrace, and troubles manifold. Our
children let their grammar slide, and
jeer at all it tells, refuse their teach
err as a guide, although she's wearing
bells. while sacks of peanuts they
divide, and pelt her with the shells.
I've organized a band of guys to
fight the peanut curse, and shortly
you will see us rise and put it in a
hearse: and If you think the crusade
wise, produce your ample purse. We
cannot run this big crusade upon the
modern plan, unless you promptly
give us aid, and shell out all you can;
dig up the roubles with a spade,
and send them in a van. We can't
alone by tongue or pen wipe out this
glaring wrong. for evil will rise up
again, unless our blow Is strong; we
need all kinds of iron men to help
the work along We have a high and
noble aim, Jul purposes are broad,
but we can't queer the peanut game
and place it meath the sod, unless
the reader, gent or dame, will send
along a wad. We know not when
wen reach our goal-it may not be
this year-but soon o. late the bells
will toll the peanuts doom, that's
clear, if you will but produce your
roll, and send a sample here.

the questions to be submitted to the coming
legislature is the matter of a state income tax
yet nothing is done to cut down expenses SO as to
try to make the present income do. Instead
there is a grand orgy of raising salaries at every
session of the legislature and fat sinecures are
created so that faithful politicians may feed at
the public crib.
There would be no need for a state income tax
if there should be a housekeeping at Trenton
such as Governor Miller, of New York, had at
Albany last winter. Here is something that
the taxpayers ought to ask their candidates for
assembly and senate about.
Make economy the slogan for the coming cam
paign and when the various candidates begin
shooting off what they will do and how they in
tend to serve the people, ask them how do they
stand on economy. Ask them If they will vote
to clean house at Trenton this winter and make
en- income tax unnecessary. Never mind the other
stuff they like to talk about-economy is the
thing this year all along the line. 1t is only
necessary to study the comparison of the taxes
paid for the past five years to find the real is

There lived near the little town in
which I was born a farmer more
than ordinarily prosperous. He was
industrious, honest and capable, but
so, for the most part were his neigh
bors. Yet he ~prospered more than
most of them.
In one particular his success was
locally notable, namely, that he
seemed always to know in the spring
what crop would bring the highest
price in the fall. He rotated his
crops as other farmers did, oats,
wheat. corn and so on, but his larg-
est fields were nearly always planted
with the grain that bore the highest
market price.
He would not tell how he did it,
saying that If his system became
known, it would no longer work.
When he was an old man he told,
and 1 was present when he revealed
his secret.
1t was this: IT always plant the
seed that is cheapest"
His neighbors would hardly be-
lieve that this had been the secret
