THE FRENCH MARK TIME

Germany and France are, for the
| present, at an impasse. The pass
i've resistance Of the German in
dustrialists has been successful to
the extent that deliveries of repair
atoms in kind have been stopped
/ but in adopting the policy they
demonstrate that their stupidity is
just as deep as it was in the good
! cd days when they decided that the
| United States would never fight.
incorporation only keeps the
real problem from coming to an
early issue. If Germany had the
insight to meet the French in a
perfectly conciliatory~ spirit, the
occupation would either realize it's
ends, Of which we doubt the posi-
bility, or the demonstration of fail
ure would be so plain that France
would be obliged to acknowledge
it. In either case, the French
would be soon out of the Ruhr,
whereas so long as passive resist
ance continues, the French must
mark time and the occupation
draw on.
Neither Germany nor France can
profit from the present situation.
Neither is making the slightest
progress. France can imprison
the industrial managers, penalize
sabotage and be as severe as she
pleases, but there will be no col
lection of reparations that amounts
to anything until the German gov
eminent and people cooperate.
Germany can not pay ;reparations
unless she is industrially efficient,
and she can never be that while
working under the bayones of a
foreign cOnQuerOr. Germany
might do great deal better than
she actually is. but the project Of
collecting billions in gold with
bayonets has little to recommend
it from purely economic point of
vitw. Passive resistance is one of
the difficulties which the French
must overcome in order to prove
the feasibility of their program,
for it's justification finally depends
upon whether or not it can produce
reparations without smashing the
German capital establishment.
Germany might have adopted
compliant attitude towards the
French collectors. but in estimat-
ing their possibilities of success,
the French were not justified in
assuming that they would. st.

POULTRY IN NORTHERN
MINNESOTA

At Moose Lake, in Carlton coun-
ty, citizens have organized an an
nual poultry show. It's first ex-
hibit occurs on January 18, 10 and
| 20. 1t is expected that the poul-
try breeders Of Carlton county will
be present in large numbers with
carefully specimens from their
yards. Exhibits and visitors from
outside are welcome and encour-
aged.
Northern Minnesota has reached
point in the development of poul-
try breeding when all our counties
and cities have local exhibits each
winter. and those who follow that
interesting business either for
profit or pleasure, or both COM
bined, have an opportunity to COM
pare notes and birds.
In 1920 there were 372,00O,000
poultry on farms" in this coun-
try, all chickens except 100000
other fowls. This big flock con-
stitutes a very handsome item to
the national wealth. Minnesota
has about 100000 of these in
dustrious birds, producing eggs
galore.
Not so very long since, the care
from the sale of eggs and poultry
was sort Of perquisite of the
mother Of the family. Not 80 now.
1t has become a business quite as
much as caring for the herds. The
mother has passed the job along to
the men unless. as sometimes hap
pens, she chooses to make bust
ness of it on her own account.
In 1920 Minnesota hens produced
60,000,0O0 dozens of eggs, almost
equalling the score of the biddies
of New York state, and it may be
noted in passing that the hens Of
Iowa laid twice as many eggs as
those of New York. The Western
hen will soon put an end to any
Eastern rivalry. A notable fact
too is that in general rich states
have many hens and poor states
much smaller numbers.
A California correspondent writes
that out there they turn on cleo
trio lights in the chicken coops
about 3 a. m. The foolish birds
think the sun is up and that day
has come. They flutter from their
perChes and go to work pecking
and scratching. Then they lay
many an extra egg, which is clear
gain to the crafty poulterer. This
idea is submitted for what it is
worth to our Moose Lake readers.
although it does not seem quite
fair to the hen.
1t is among the certainties that
Northern Minnesota is forging to
the front in this business and that
it will be source Of pleasure and
profit. 1t has long since passed the
pioneer stage in Duluth. = Duluth
