The Spirit of France

~ NE may travel far in his readings and
fail to find better summing up of the
spirit Of the French people than the
following from the book of Mr.. Lawrence Jer-
rold "France-Her People and Her Spirit -
which is quoted in the current special France
number of the Literary Digest:
Here is people, dwindling by its birth
rate, that is threatened simultaneously from
within by social unrest and from without by
country more prolific and at least as pow
erful; it shuts up home trouble, it defies the
foreigner. This is a singular proof of French
vitality. There is a singular force in the
French national spirit. In the beginning
of,the twentieth century it was not cowed. . j.. .
The French nation gradually compensates the
decline of it's birth-rate by it's complete alb
sorption of foreigners settled in it's midst. The
vitality of the French people is thus twice
proved. Frances vindication of her place in
the world after Casabianca in 1908 and after
Agadir in 1911, which was one of the most
important factors in contemporary European
politics up to the wa, was not the assertion
fight, children growing up, women ready to
bear children. 1t was the assertion of an
old, anciently civilized, perhaps henceforth
limited nation, but one that has very strong
will yet to live, to be one nation, and not on
any account to be another nation. I think
that this vitality is even stronger than OF 4
people which it numbers chiefly spread.
''There is less sign than ever of the French
| national spirit dying. The Frenchborn peo-
pie hardly, if at all, inc i numbers, but
| it holds its own more than ever. l imagine a
! day when the French people might be but a
handful in Europe and would still keep to-
gether, like last square of infantry charged
on battlefield. All national characters in
Europe may die; the French will die last"

QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

William Martin, aged five, ran into his
grandmother's bedroom with small kitten
he had picked UP in the street and asked if
he might keep it. He also asked if it were a
"boy cat'' or a "girl cat,' he wanted to
give it a name. His grandmother told him
she would find out and that he might keep
the kitten. The next day he burst into the
room in great gee and announced: 81 named
her Mary "How did you find out that it
was girl cat'?" his grandmother asked.
"Well,' replied William, 81 watched her and
she washed her face and she washed her ears
and she washed behind her ears and nobody
but girl cat would wash behind her ears -

Around the World
Tri-Weekly NewS Flashes From All Over
the Earth.
Willow Dams

Green willows-the ordinary willow that
grows alongside rivers and brooks-made
into huge mats 200 feet long and 100 feet
wide are doing more toward holding the
Mississippi river in its course than thousands
of tons of stone and c1osely-packed earth.
In making the mats, says Popular Science.
timber frames are constructed around the
entire area of the mats, with cross pieces
dividing the inside into small sections. With
in these are placed the willow trees and
bushes that are later bound with heavy
cables and towed to their destination. On ar
irving there they are anchored over the spot
to be protected and then covered with earth
and broken stones until they sink.

FIashIess Gunpowder

Flashless gunpowder is one of the recent
developments Of the United States ordnance
department.
Smokeless powder took away the telltale
smoke and ever since ordnance experts have
been working to get a flashless, smokeless
powder The success Of their experiments,
says Popular Science, is indicated by the
report that guns as large as five inches have
been fired at night with so little glow that
observers standing twenty yards away could
hardly notice it. 1t is said that sodium and
potassium chloride are two of the chemical
substances introduced into the powder to
eliminate the flash.

Oil Cure

Cod liver oil is described as cure for
rickets-the bone disease that has caused de-
formities of children for ages-by DR.. q. A.
Park and DR.. John Rowland, Of the Johns
Hopkins Hospital staff, as a result OF ex-
haustive studies. Rarely is it that heads of
department of Johns Hopkins use the word
cure
The statement issued by these two experts
says:
"In our studies, which have comprised in
all some fifty cases, the results have been
uniformly consistent. We feel justified in
saying very definitely that cod liver oil
brings about change in the bones which.
if the diet is not too faulty, amounts to
complete cure. The change is not noticeable
at once but is readily demonstrate in al
most all cases by the end of a month.
"In two or three months so much infiltra.
tion of salts has taken place that the exc
tremties of the bones, except for deformi-
ties, are practically normal

Oldest Man


''It is hard for me to see just what bene-
fit has come to our people by education"
Wah-ha- gun-ta, the Indian, who died last
week in his 13Sth year, the Oldest human
being in the world, told a government agent
several years ago.
Funeral arrangements under the ritual OF
the Catholic church and devoid OF ancient
tribal rites have been completed for him. He
joined that church several years ago.
He himself had had nothing to do with
the civilizing ways Of the white man. Chairs,
beds, tableware, he Stunned, and to their
absence he attributed his remarkable longev-
ity.
He was a mighty hunter, but in the last
years of his life he was dependent on the
charity of his neighbors. The land allotted to
him brought him no income.
To an interviewer Wah-ha-gu thus de-
scribed himself
"I belong to the Catholic church. I have
been married nine times, but had no plural
wives. All my wives are dead. In my early
manhood I had child by young woman,
but the child died when about four years
old.
II never smoked until I was over thirty,
but use a great deal of tobacco now, am
strongly opposed to living in a home for old
people because I am not used to it.; it
would kill me sure.
81 took great pride in hunting, but it Is
many years since took my last hunt In my
younger days I used to make mysliving by
hunting"
Wah-ha-gun-ta was also known among the
Indians as Ke-we-tah-gie-shig, and an Indian
trader gave him the name John Smith. Ke-
we-tah-gi e-shig means "wrinkled meat"
and was given him because his face was so
scared.
His eyesight was nearly gone and he lost
his last tooth nearly twenty years ago.
Edward Hagaman Hail. secretary of the
Historic Preservation society, supports the
contention that Wah-ha-gun-ta was the old
est man in the world and this view is ac-
cepted by the Federal Bureau Of Indian Af-
fairs.

Canine Funeral

Rex, a bull terrier, who for sixteen years
was the companion of DR.. A. M. Hyde,
dentist, had a royal funeral in New York
last week.
The dog, in p1ush-lined casket with sill
yer plate and handles, was carried by two
pallbearers to an automobile hearse. A score
of mourners, including Snowfall, a French
terry at Woodlawn, l.. l., where 1t was buried
with great solemnity. A squad of policemen
kept crowd of curious at a respectful
distance.
SNOWFALL has been disconsoIate since
Rexs death The poodle has refused to eat
and has spent practically all his time curled
up at the foot of Rex's coffin.

Author Sues


1t is learned that George Randolph Ches-
ter, novelist and dramatist, has filed suit
in equity in the United States district court
against the Star company, publishers OF the
New York Journal. Mr.. Chester charges in.
fringement of copyright, and through his at
torney, William NJ Seabury, No. 100 Broad
way, asks $685., 900 damages.
The articles Mr.. Chester claims infringe on
his copyright were a series Of stories entitled
"Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford," published in
the Journal from October 81 to November
26, 1921. They purported 70 have been writ
ten by Jane Mclean from the screen version
and were based on some of the Walling-
ford stories and the play by George M.
Cohan," the advertisements said.
The stories published in the Journal, Mr..
Chester alleges, were "in all essential re.
spects duplication, copy and imitation OF
a portion of plaintiffs literary composition
entitled 'Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford.'
Mr.. Chester asserts he now holds the
copyrights on all these stories and that the
only rights with which he has parted are
the dramatic rights not the motion picture
or publication rights.
Under the copyright law, maximum Of
$4,000 can be demanded for each infringe
ment Mr.. Chester claims that, as the Journal
has seven editions every day except Sunday,
and as the articles lie complains of were pub
lished in each edition for twenty-three days,
he is entitled to recover $4,000 for each
edition of each day from the Star company.
Bears Out
Whether the bears Of the Ontario district
have adopted the dissolute ways of the
FOUNDER" or whether they foresee an early
spring is a question that has stirred trap
pers thereabouts
Speculation was stirred by reports of A.
Lajoie, an old trapper, that he had found
tracks of several groups of bears. Tradition
ally all good bears should be fast asleep for
the winter.

Department of Agriculture frequent

large farms who want the services
Of capable farm managers, And ]
regret to say that there are very few
who can be recommended who are
not already employed at good salar'
les.
It is a well known and deplorable
fact that the boys and girls in re-
cent years have been drifting from
the farms to the cities, and this has
been one of the chief causes of the
increased cost of living. There are
not enough people on the land pro-
ducing the foo dstuffs and material
for clothing. There must be move
ment back to the farm. And there
is no better opportunity for the
bright and intelligent farm boy than
to make special study of farming
because there will always be de-
mand for men who know how sue
cessfully to operate farms. Ever
remember, said Goldthwait, that
for health and substantial wealth
for rare opportunities for self i'm
provement, for long life and real
independence, farming is the best
business in the world. So celebrat.
ed an authority as Emerson says:
"The first farmer was the first man
and all historic nobility rests on
possession and use of land.
Happy the man who tills his field,
Content with rustic labor;
Earth doth to him her fullness yield
Hap what may be his neighbor.
Well days, sound nights; oh can

PLANNING WORK
ON THE farm.
By T. F. PECK,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Farmers should plan their work
so as to be ready to do the right
thing at the right time, 10 be sue
cessful in farming, is just as essen
tial that operations be systematlzed
as it is that system is necessary In
any other business. Some farm worn
such as repairing, building fences,
etc., can be done at any season OF
the year, while feeding, preparing
the soil, planting, cultivation, har-
vesting and marketing must be done
when all the conditions are favor
able for that particular work to get
the best results.
The farm employs who wants to
succeed and earn reputation for de-
pendability cannot afford to neglect
doing his work on time-doing it
when it should be done He cannot
afford to put off till tomorrow the
task assigned for today. 1t does not
matter in what capacity we work
we have responsibilities. Somebody
is depending on US. And in order
to do our work we'll and at the right
time, we must plan for each day
and each week.
In a former article / discussed the
value of dependability, especially in
its relation to work on the farm.
There is time to do certain things
on the farm, and upon certain ones
on the farm depends the responsible
lily for doing it or seeing that it Is
done and done well.
The farmer is business man
or should be. He must know with
defniteness and skill many things
He must know when to plant and
what to plant in certain soils. He
must know how wisely to choose
cattle for feeding; to buy feedstuffs
wisely for them, such as he cannot
produce himself and may have tc
buy: and he must know how to feed
them economically.
There is no better business than
farming, and there is none that of.
fers a better guarantee of independ
ence to the man who will give the
business proper study. Thousands
of wealthy men are today wise
enough to be acquiring landed es'
tates. Most of them desire to live
upon them, at least part of the time.
They are searching for men who
know how to manage these estates,
They are willing to pay generously
for trained young men who have the
ability to manage farms, and get
the best out of them. They want
the young men who know how.
There are not near enough trained
young men to do this work. The
