HELPED PAY AMERICAS DEBT
in Saving the Life of Madame Lafayette.

An interesting sldelight on history lies in the story of how the wife of James Monroe, fifth President, saved the life of Madame Lafayette at the time Monroe was American ambassa- dor to France. Lafayette himself was in prison in Germany, and kept in a foul dungeon. Mme. Lafayette had been seized by the Revoutionists, and was confined in the prison of La Force, and date had been set for her execu- ton. The Monr0es were very much alive 10 the great debt America owed the young aristocrat. and Mrs Monroe determined to do what she could

to deliver her 10 the doors of the prison of La Force, and once there, calmly requested an interview with the unfortunate prisoner. An interview with person sentenced to the knife was unheard of but the dawning power of the United States was such that the officials dared not refuse the request of the ambassadors wife. A few words were exchanged between the women, and Mrs. Monroe drove away. The next morning she was liberated, the French Revolutonists fearing to execute her, and desiring thus to secure the friendly attention or the new nation. It was a daring thing to do, for the results might have been disastrous and all sorts of in- ternational complications might have arisen

CIVIC ORDINANCE IN JAPAN
All Houses Have Tablet Telling Name of the Responsible Dweller
 Within the Walls.

In Japan you can learn good many things about the resident of house merely by looking at his door. Ac- cording to police regulations, says writer in Chambers Journal the en- trance to every residence must have d small wooden tablet affixed to II. ThlS tablet has the name and the number ot the house on it, and on another tablet iS he name of the responsible house holder, who in many cases is an lii- fant. a younger brother of u relative.
 Sometimes, though rarely, the names of other inmates are placed over the door. but there Is no police regulation that requires 1t, except in the case Of boarding houses, which have to place their boarders names outside for all to see. A person fortunate enough 10 possess a telephone always has the number proudly displayed over his en- trance. Near 1t you will often see a quaint enameled or tin disk. That is the tire insurance mark. Every tre insurance company has its own special metal plate, which 1t nails to the lintel when 1t insures a house.
 There are always several small pieces of paper pasted over the door, placed there by the police. One is to certify that the periodical osho1i, or great cleaning, has taken place. An other paper tells us, perhaps, that the sanitary conditions are satisfactory. What others stand for is known only to the police themselves; that they give secret information about the in- mates Is certain.
 Formerly it was the rue that, If there was we'll upon the premises, the fact had to be proclaimed by square board marked with the charac- ter for well-ido. This was to show where people could obtain water in case of fire in the neighbOrhood. The regulation may still be in force in country places but owing to water now being piped, 1t is no longer enforced In the cities.

In conclusion: The great defect in our farm practice today is small acre yields. As in all things in life If a thing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well" and so We must learn to make every cultivated acre produce maximum yield.

of money each year, in the purchase of fertilizer materials which they do not need. The crying need of our soils is organic matter, and not chemical fertilizers, thougt fertilizers can be made to yield profit when used in connection with a rational system of farm practice
 STAPLE AND SPECIAL CROPS
 Corn: The planting of corn as a money croy directly, is unwise for our farmers to undertake, but, as "mon- ey-saver' it is the proper thing to do. Every farmer should make it a point to grow all the corn he will need for his farm, and, in this section the corn rows should not be less than six feet wide, and, between every row of corn. row of peas, soy-beans, or velvet beans should be grown.
 Oats: As rule fall-sown oats are undependable in this section. Our main reliance will have to be on spring oats. The crops should be plant ed as early as weather conditions will permit. The farmer who undertakes to make crop without oats, either for grazing or as a hay crop generally loses money.
 Sweet Potatoes: This is a staple crop that has not been given proper consideration. As food crop for both man and farm animals, it is unsur- passed, and, with the development of the curing and storage house, we are now able to place a first class article on distant markets that command ready sale at fairly remunerative prices.
 The home garden: Special attent- ion should be given to the home gar den this year, as it is an asset capable of greatly reducing living expenses, and by little effort, supply of vege- tables can be enjoyed the entire year through, as well as a good supply put in cans for times of shortage
 Livestock: With the reduction of the cotton acreage there is going to be released large amount of land that must eithed be abandoned or planted to feed crops of the cheap varietyeasy to grow, and the only economical me- thod of utilizing such crops is by the live stock route. Do not be discourag- ed because livestock are cheap now: Really now is the time to buy good foundation breeding stock and start to build up herd of good cattle and hogs, partly because they can be bought cheaply, and, secondly because you will need them to consume the sur plus feed croys grown.
 Some of these days, not far off in the future, the livestock market will be good again. Are you going to be prepared for it then? Now is the time to gebin preparations.

FOR KING OF BIRDS
Complete Extinction of Eagle Fore shadowed by President of Ma
 tionaI Audubon Societies.

Eagles still seem to be fairly nu- merous in Alaska, whither they have been driven by the unfriendl- ness of their fellow Americans in the older settled sections of the country. Even in Alaska the slaughter of the big birds is being proceeded with in such a way that the tribe will soon be exterminated. There the eagle is charged with eating too many fish. Eagles have always lived off fish, and it would seem a poor kind of patriotism to deny the eagle the food which he is used to and which his ancestors have eaten for generations that can- not be counted. The president of the National Association of Audu- bon Societies, T. Gilbert Pearson, has protested against the slaughter of the American eagles that have sought a home in Alaska because they could find one nowhere else, and said:
 "The good Lord certainly made enough fish so that the emblem of our national independence might have one occasionally. It is my con- tention that the killing of these birds should be stopped until the eagle has his day in court. The late Governor Riggs, I am informed, ex- pressed himself as feeling that the time had come when the bounty put on the killing of these birds should be taken off"
