CARE OF FRENCH WAR ORPHAN
Araonne Associations Plan May BE
Used for unfortunates In
United States.

A plan for the care and training of
French war orphans, worked out by
the Argonne association, an organiza-
tlon formed as n permanent memorial
10 the Americans who fought In
France, Is said to be functionlng so
satisfactorily that similar organiza-
tlon may be formed for the care of
orphans in the United States.
The Argonne association was formed
In 1918 by group of Americans in
serested In French orphans. II has as
Its motto: "To provide for the child
who has no parents, home and
family life; to secure him his birth
eight Of health; to educate him and
train him TO earn n livelihood; to de-
velop his character that he may be-
come useful and an upright citizen
and to do these things so well and so
economically that others shall follow
this example-ls the aim Of the Ar
gonne association"
The orphans cared for under the as
sociations plan are placed In private
homes In community where they are
really wanted. They are not ''farmed
out" There is community school,
playground and vocational training
center where the children are daily
brought together to get their mental
and physical development. There are
three such centers In France where
the orphans are given three distinct
stages OF training.

You Auto Know

That some cars have a ten
dency to leak oil from the right
hand wheel housing, even when
no excess Of lubricant is APP
parent anywhere else. This is
due to the fact that the right
side Of the car is usually at a
lower level than the left, espe-
cially when driving along coun-
try roads where macadam is de-
signed to shed water into the
bitches on either side. AS a re-
suit of this leakage, the right
hand brake band is often COW
cred with n thin film of oil which
prevents 1t from functioning
properly,
A gmple remedy for this is to
wrap long strip OF thin felt
around the shaft, starting from
the wheel end and working In a
direction opposite to the forw ard
motion of the wheel, covering
the axle for a distance Of about
eight inches. The felt should
then be fastened to the shaft
with shellac and held in place
by cord, tied arourl 1t several
times. When the shaft is turned,
the effect Of this is to force the
oil back toward the dlfferential
and away from the brakes.

No HARDsH1ps.

A press dispatch from San Bernardino, caA,,
tells Of the arrival there Of 400 passengers who had
been held up for four days at S~eligman, Arizona, by
the, abandonment of their train by employees of the
Santa Fe railroad. The dispatch says that no hard
ships were suffered by the passengers whose joaF-
neys were thus interrupted, except that no facilities
were available for the case Of two cases Of child
birth among the m%arooned passengers.

age requirements made it necessary to have a divi-
sion point at about that place. The hamlet is So
small that its population is not given in gazeteers
which give populations as low as 100. 1t is in a
country bare, desolate and desperately hot.
1t is gratifying to know that no hardships were
suffered by the passengers. By this we are evil
IDENTIFY to understand that none of the passengers
was scalped by Indians or died of hunger or THIRST.
Beyond the slight inconvenience of being held up
for four days, of being switched onto a siding at a
way station where there never intended to be any
conveniences for transients, of being baked by day
and stifed by night, and a few other little things
Of that kind, everything was lovely.

porAro MARKETING.

There are a good many farmers in the north
west who have not yet received payment for pota-
toes, shipped by them a year ago. IN many ). these
cases payment will never be made, and the work
putin on that crop stands as 4 dead loss to the
farmer. In very many cases these losses were due
to the practice of dealing with transient strangers
without investigation. Of their reliability. Quite
frequently the trouble with the transient buyer is
not fraudulent intent but inexperience and lack Of
funds. 1t is always easy to figure a big profit in
buying a product in one place and selling it in am
other. The freight rate can be asccrtained easily,
and anybody can guess at the handling costs. Little
such as delay, demurrage, shrinkage in,
weight. loss from the development of rot and kin
bred troubles, And the hazard of market fluctuations
are ignored. The unexpected happens, and the over
optimistic buyer ~sustains a loss, which he has no
funds to meet.
That is the history Of a good many transac4
tons, especially in perishable products, and the in
experienced dealer without capital finds himself in,
the hole, with no way of getting out.
The experience Of last year Will serve as "a
warning to farmers who have suffered. 1t is the

MISLEADING CROP REPORTS.

MAS1Gf4A1AN1 \NOF -g.rf'
A LOCAL business man furnishes The Herald a
copy OF a bit of crop gossip sent out by a firm Of
grain dealers in one of the great terminal markets.
It reads as follows:
North Dakota and Minnesota are golden
with grain now in shock and being threshed.
Perfect weather conditions with little or no
injury from hail or rust assures a bumper crop.
Drove forty miles through Penbins eo1nty,
North Dakota, where II. was yielding IS to 40
to 60 bushels. Saw two. dressings near Gretna, :"
Canada, where wheat was making AZ bushels
OF 63 pound, wheat to acre and was informed
they never had heavier yield. :
It is true that the northwest has asvery good
crop this year. 1t is-far from being a bumper"
crop, however. North Dakota's wheat yield this
year is estimated at about two,thirds of its maxi
mum past yield. The production this year will just
about equal the average of series Of moderately
good years in the past.
The advantage of this years crop is not that it
is an enormous crop, but that it is a good crop, well
distributed. There is no large section of the state
which has not at least a moderate yield but there is
also no large distfict in which the total production
is not diminished by spots of hail, rust, weeds. or
either adverse conditions. In the southern part Of
the state there are fields pr late wheat whose owners
are preparing to burn the crop as it stands as the
yield would not be sufficient to defray the cost of
harvesting. Adjoining fields of early wheat show
a good stand and we'll hlled heads (.
When the correspondent writes Of driving forty
miles through Pembina county-or any other coun-
ty-"where it (wheat) was yielding 35 to 40 bush
els per acre" he is>writing nonsense. He may have
seen, and doubtless has seen, such yields as he de-
scribes: But the infetence is that these yields are
general, which they are not, by any means. The
yield OF 80 bushels OF wheat per acre is unusual and
remarkable. Where such yield occurs the fact is
widely commented on. A story about>it gets into
the newspapers, just as a mammoth potato or an
enormous tomato is considered worthy Of special
mention.
The practical effect Of such reports as that
quoted is not to deceive grain dealers, who know
better, but to create in the minds Of the general pub
liz the false impression Of a mammoth crop, and
thereby to lead to acquiescence in a price lower than
the facts warrant. The farmers. Of the northwest
have, on the whole, a very satisfactory crop, al
crop, and they need every dollar that they can real
ize from it. -
