NOT FOR RENT

Four years ago. the American army stopped its
work of I-illng German soldiers
Two years ago. after this nation had refused to
ratify the treaty of Versailles. America and Ger
many entered upon the formal peace which had
been a reality since Nov. IL 1918.
That treaty which IS the working understanding
between two countries now at peace is one OF friend
ship. TX demands material thing from the nation
T. helped TO conquer. it asks payment Of money,
and makes no claim to land or territory.
And yet two years after the ratification OF this
treaty. the american army occupies a part OF the
territory OF the Rhine.
An American general from a castle which over
looks this river IS the ruler the actual ruler OF the
district around Coblenz and to his order and his
edicts friendly peorle and an army with another
uniform give obedience
- An American general tells the people OF another
land al what hour they will close their stores and
hotels az what schedule they VIII run their trains
under what conditions they win transact business.
II is true that the army which he has TO enforce
his commands Is small. It numbers now but 1900
men. perhaps less than that but whatever number
Is there it is Just that much too large.
The excuse that IS given for the maintenance Of
thts ARMY in Germany IS that Germany welcomes
their presence there.
It is also asserted that France which had some
100000 soldiers along the Rhine also desires their
presence
Unes this country has an army for rent it should
demand that obese boys be brought home and at
once
The French soldiers who are enoamped with the
American troops have very definite purpose there.
They are there 20 collect and to terrorize. They
are there 10 f-shten the German citizen into pay
Ing any demands and into making any sacrifice.
They are there for revenge as - evidenced by the
fact that France now offers TO white civilization
the final Insult of bringing black troops 10 Insult,
70 ravage and to terrorize the German women OF
the Ehincnud.
That is the purpose OF France. which demands
that the treaty OF Versailles be carried out 10 the
ast fraction of the worthless mark that Germany

be helpless for IT least century.

II their presence there is not for that purpose,
there can be but one other ard that is the excuse
that Germany wants them there as a check and a
curb upon the greed OF France as some protection
OF a vauqu-shed nation from a revengeful victor.

Q. What is the best breed Of
chicken for commercial egg produc-
ton?
A The department Of agricul-
tUre recommends the Leghorn for
commercial egg production as they
eat only about one-third as much
food as other varieties require. How
ever. the LeghOrn is limited to egg
production, as this variety does not
produce much meat. Several Leg
horns on the Pacific coast laid 600
eggs or more year. However, 200
IS considered very good. The ordi-
nary hen lays only 10 months out
OF the year. as two months are spent
in molting. The hens that lay 800
or more eggs a year do not mott
at all that year.

these are relatively scarce the price
IS high The non-transrarent va
rietes are not Of any value as gem
stones.
Q. What are the best breeds Of
dogs for rabbit hunting?
A The two best breeds OF dogs
for rabbit hunting are the Beagle

Q. Why do leaves change their
color in the fall?
A. When leaves begin 70 turn
this is a sign that they are return
ing TO the body of the tree any food
matter contained in them. All that
remains i'm the cell cavities Of the
leaf is a watery substance in which
a few oil globules and crystals and a
small number of yellow strongly re-
fractive bodies can be seen. This
gives the yellow color. In some
trees there is,more sugar in the leaf
than readily goes back into the
trunk Of the trees. This gives the
red color. Thus the color of the
leaves depends upon the chemical
contents Of the tree.
@. Was there any distinction be-
tween the Puritans and Pilgrims?
A. 4 distinction must be made
Between the Pilgrims who settled
Plymouth and the Puritans. The
Puritans sought the reform Of the
Church of England. The Pilgrims

OF things-not letting them hold you back, tanning
and stunting your !arger growth.
Let go-let 60.
I know so many reople who keep hanging to
themselves until they appear all nerveknotted and
tense-full of fear and trembling.
There are those. for instance who actually night
at sleep thus experiencing restless nights and arising
the next day tired and unhappy.
IL you are one Of these. this very night you
enter your room let go OF everything. Relax. Think
ony OF pleasant happy things. Let the very Angels
Of Beauty lift you from your sleeping place and
carry you into their Wonderland Of Dreams-bring-
ing you back time for the unfolding day and TO
happiness and usefulness
Don't trouble much. Let go.

WHAT'S THE CAUSE?

Educators women's clubs and all parents will be
interested in the startling statement Of the current
Literary Digest that during the present
7o7 children in this country committed suicide
The ghasuiness Of this situation is one that might
seem demand some serious thought and at least
careful examination Of the declaration of the
magazine that these tragedies are to the spar
ing of the rod"
"Sparing of the rod has resulted in the spoillng
OF many children and latest statistics of emil
dren who have committed suicide yields the stagger-
ing number we are told Of 7O7." says the Literary
Digest
"All these child suicides were under sixteen years
of age, ltem appalling the number who died
by their own hands"
Recently. it Is reported, compact to commit
suicide signed by five girls all less than seven
teen. and the agreement carried out.
Notes left behind by of these unfortunates
indicate blase attitude that suggests mature
and disappointed man or woman. Children are
taking habits and vices of their elders. who,
in SPITE of repeated warnings seem Obivous Of the
peril.
The fact that the condition of affairs which leads
little children to take their lives is not confined TO
any portion of America but countrywide taken
indicate that there must be q reason common TO

Leads in Wireless Progress.

William Marconi, who has just re-
turned to London from his American
tour, is enthusiastic over the vast
PROGRESS made in wireless telegraphy
and telephony in the United States
since his last visit. In an interview
he declared that the Americans were
far ahead of the English in broadcast
ing and in wireless development gen
orally.
"The Americans have reached a
greater perfection of detail than have
the British" the famous inventor
said. "The clearness of speech and
the remarkable ease with which mes
sages are received in the United
States are amazing"
Mr.. Marconi said the music trans
mitted by wireless in America was
much clearer than the phonograph
"It is in fact" said he, "as loud as
many American jazz bands, and that
is saying a good deal. The party on
our yacht were able to dance to mus
ic sent out by the broadcasting sta
ton at Schenectady, \. Y.
In crossing the Atlantic, MF. Mar
conf was able to make " 'rouS
tests of the behavior of what is call
ed the atmospheric disturbances
These tests seemed to confirm the
opinion that the disturbances which
interfere with wireless originate on
the continents and not on the sea
When he was near Europe, they all
came from the east, or European
side, whereas, when he was in mid
Atlantic, he found that the disturb
ances were very few and weak, anc
that they were coming from pretty
well all around. On nearing Ameri'
ca, the disturbances from the Euro
pean side were very weak, while those
from the American side were moro
marked.

EGG PRODUCTION.
Making the Hen an Efficient Egg
Machine.

Clemson College, Sept.-The two
main purposes of poultry raising are
Iegg production and meat production.
! 1t is from these sources that we eN-
pect to obtain our revenue.
A pullet or hen is an egg machine.
Some of the essential factors In egg
production are breeding, feeding and
breeds, says n. r. Mehrhof, Exten-
sion Poultry Specialist.
Observation-Disclosures can he IN
creased materially by the selection
and mating of high producing fe-
males and males. How are we going
to pick out the high producers? The
only accurate method is by the use
of trap nests, with which we are able
to obtain individual egg records.
With these records on hand, we can
select our best producers and mate
with male birds from high produc-
ing females.
Another very satisfactory method
is culling. Using the physical char
acteristics, such as health, vlgor and
condition, head and adjuncts, condi-
ton of vent, body conformation,
handling qualities, moult, and pig
rnentation, we are able to pick the
producers from the nonproducers.
BY culling and diScarding the non
producers, we can improve the flock
average very materially. 1t pays to
Gull, and now is the time to do it.
Feeding.-Feeding is another mat
ter the poultryman should carefully
consider. If the flock is not fed a
well-balanced ration we can not eX-
pect a profit. By a weil-balanced
ration we mean one in which the
proportion of protein to carbohy-
drates and fats is correct. This pro-
portion is termed the nutritive ratio
and should be about to 2.S for the
mash ration and to S.2 for the
grain ration. The mash is composed
of equal quantities of wheat bran,
wheat middling, ground oats, corn
meal, and meat scraps; and the grain
ration is composed of equal parts OF
cracked corn. wheat. and oats.
eeds.-This is another important
matter to consider. The lighter
breeds, such as Leghorns and Anconas
are the more economical egg produc-
ers. In other words, Leghorn can
produce a pound of eggs cheaper than
Wyandotte or Rock. These light
breeds, principally the Leghorns, are
used on commercial egg farms. Fo,
dottes, Rocks and Reds are the most
the farm flock, however, the Wyan'
desirable. They may lay as many
