FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING
u VA pleasure you are yIewli

If with pleasure you are viewing
any work a man is doing,
If you like him, or you love him,
tell him so;
Don't withhold your appreciation

As he lies with snowy lilies on his
brow.
For no matter how you shout il, he
won't care a darn about il,
He won't know how many tear-drops
YOU have she'd;
If you think some praise is due him,
now's the time to slip II 20 him
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.
More than fame and more than mon
ey is the comment kind and sunny
And the hearty warm approval of a
friend;
For il gives life SAVIOR, and il
makes you stronger, Drawer,
And II gives you heart and spirit to
the end.
If he earns your praise bestow II,
Let the words Of true encouragemc
be said;
Do not wait till life is over and he's

For he cannot read his tombstone

J. c. WITT WILL OTHER
7 BALES FROM IS ACRES

]. c. Witt was here Wednesday
morning with another bale Of cot
ton from his fine farm three and a
half miles south Of the city.
No doubt, excepting Of course the
crops on the Agricultural Expert
ment Station. Mr.. Witt has enjoyed
better production this year than
any other farmer in the county, as
from only eighteen acres of cotton
the yield will be between seven and
eight bales, the good yield being the
result of a thin stand and each
stalk was permitted 10 grow its fuI
size in spite Of the dry weather
Other fields Of cotton on the same
farm, worked by another party,
which was planted a great deal
thickrr, is producing much less per
acre.. the dry weather and thick
stand having conflicted.
Mr. Witt is proud of the yield OF
his crop this year, and is Of the
opinion that the plains cannot be
equaled as a farming section.

had once Waged for four years. The French
farmer is parting with of his selfshness Of
the past, which, while UNCONSCIOUS was neverthe-
less selishness. The interest of the community
today is paramount while individual effort is not
allowed one instant to sag This is committee
work, but the French give strong support. =. ,l
Someone once said that when you cannot tell
anything about the standing of a man woman
in life from the general appearance, to look at his
or her hands, for they will tell the tale
wonder how many people looking at the hands
of some Of the American, English and French girls
working in the devastated regions could learn any
thing truthful about their social position or their
educational equipment. Many of these girls
driving trucks and moreover they are their own
mechanics. They do the work like men graduated
from public garage and their hands are a sight
and they cannot help it. They are girls from
virtually all the best educational institutions in the
United States. They work not only with heart
for it, but with both hands for it.
1t may be that the American committee will stop
this work in France next spring except for gen.
eral supervision from America by what one might
call the alumnae of the organization. Members of
the committee will see to it that the work has not
been in vain.
| have said am framing this inadequate picture
while looking over the war-stricken fields. 1t Is
easy enough to understand, humanity speaking, why
France is insisten getting its reparation money.
1t is human everything is gone ana must be
replaced and there is no money in France to re-
place it. Just beyond the fields in front of me is
the Red zone" through which runs the Chemin
des Danes Is not memory keen of the days Of
the killings, yes and the slaughterings, the
slopes of this great highway? No one treads the
red zone today save the road which runs
through It. UneXpoded shells and hand grenades
are hidden among the peoples, corn flowers and
daisies which have struggled up through the
masses of matted barbed wire. This red is
an object lesson, but just why it is needed such
when the whole countryside around about presents
a picture sufficiently striking and sufficiently argt
ment compelling, one cannot exactly understand.
In America many people ask how much reStora-
ton there has been in France. The fields largely
have been reclaimed and the peasants today are
reaping their oats, barley and their wheat. The
villages for the most part still in the dust
Frenchmen will tell you that reparation money is
necessary If their country is to be made alive
Looking on these pregnant with horrors not
vet all passed, understand the French
viewpoint and know that 1t would be that of any
other country which had been as France always
has been-the battlefield of the W orld.

WHAT is needed in France to save her babies, and
what it slowly is getting is an educated public
opinion initiative and lasting leadership The
world probably never saw "A work like unto that
which is being done today in this devastated land
1t is true that work of the same kind is being
attempted in other lands WHICH war has hit and
perhaps they are doing as well elsewhere as they
are doing here. l don't know, but here the work
IS before ones eyes. Its scope and it's significance

There are kindergartens, there is manual training

adirecng of tile feet of childhood. the paths
of a right moral and sanitary life. One looks sees
it, and feels that this is working committee which
makes American part of its name of action
At this writing there are in France about 100
visiting American working girls. They have come
over here guests of the American committee to
see what is being done. They will carry back
picture of a new life coming amid scenes of DESC
lation that only four years ago were scenes of
death.
Something has been said of the library work of
the American committee 1t has established cir
culating libraries in the villages from which the
work is conducted as centers. French peasants in
these regions who had few or no books TODAY have
books to their liking at their command and their
commands are frequent. like the story told by
ment, Of the old peasant who under the evening
lamp in his partially rebuilt house was reading to
his wife while she knitting She became so
Interested that without being seen she stopped the
clock. The old man looked up from time to time
only to know that it was not getting late and so
lie kept on till the end of the story Then she
told him. and he said "tant mieux did not want
to go to bed before finishing that good story"
There will be libraries in the various centers
in the districts in which the American committee
has been working. The committee has given
money in considerable sums to certain of the
towns to be used to complete the present library
equipment. Young French women are being trained
in the United States is librarians 1t ought to he u
trusm that reading under virtually all conditions
should be directed. In France provision is being
made for such proper direction.
Mothers of France in the stricken districts TODAY
have their meeting places and their clubs the Old

today, they are beginning to realize the social and
physical benefits.

Spoiled Diamonds.

Among the crown jewels Of the
Hapsburgs were two large diamonds
of ruby tint which were always re-
garded as especially valuable and
whenever the royal jewels were placed
on exhibition these stones were under
special guard. 1t was necessary some
time ago to dispose of the jewels, and
as they were being prepared for ex-
hibition, prior to being offered for sale,
they were put through a wash which
unfortunately removed the color Of the
precious stones and left them perfect
ly white. Instead of demanding a
fabulous price as ruby diamonds, they
were sold simply as white stones.-

that he is not interested in babies, and
SO it is safe enough to write something

no one openly will object on the ground
that the subject lacks allurement.
This is France, but it makes no
difference because it happens to be
France. The matter of babies would
be as interesting in any other country
