By Mrs. Gelders

! On September 1st, France put her
people on homegrown wheat lirnita-
tons, which means something in bread
very little better than was their war
bread. This idea of keeping their
money at home is a test of patriotism
again but the French are nothing if
not patriotic.
With the depreciation of the mark
as it is in Germany it was inevitable
| that some barter system should come
INTO use for domestic interchange, and
as an indication we note the bargain
made by woman farmer leasing IS
acres of pasture land formerly renting
tor 1000 to 5000 marks a year, for
the present return of $500 pounds of
butter to be delivered through the
year.
By reason of the boys and girls
clubs in agriculture and the allied
branches america stands at the
threshold of new and more prosper
GUS agricultural era in which science
will control and guess work be elimin-
ated."
But of higher value. still is the prac-
teal education of the boys and girls
themselves, inplanting principles that
not only tend to make agriculture a
business success with the boys and
farmhouse activities more efficient BY
the girls, but in larger way gives
them confidence in their own powers
and mastery over their surroundings
of incalculable value in the making oil
our future citizens. Even should
these same boys and girls follow 9TH
er pursuits later in life, they will have
learned. and through them others will
! learn to respect agriculture as the ear
hest, the most important, the most in
dependent ard satisfactory of all the
| occupations known to man. 49,
Sometime ago in this column was
mentioned the new device being in
stalled in Everett, WASH, by which
record a telephone subscribers bill
would be r"ckoned It is called the

monhs use is not liked by those who
found their bills Increased. This OPP

though it has caused hearing before
