Civic Service Brings Out Some Peculiar
 Rebfies -

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 10.--On the mis- sonri side, of the Mississippi river, just below the village of Witenherg, is a picturesque rock. It is an object of in- terest to all who see it but only to those who know does this rock tell of unsung romance. f| ..4
 The rock is said to be the smallest national reservation in the United States, it having been declared gov ernnaent reservation several' years gao, to preten tits destruction for commer- eial purposes. when quarfymen threat ened its existence. 1t was preserved for it's historical value.
 To early adventurers -trhversing the river the 'couriers des bois of the .earli- est French, the Spanish explorers and Euslish-speaking pioneers it was known as '.The Rock of the Cross"
 In, December 1899 three missionaries of the Sulpiean Order, Father St. COsrne. Davon and Montigny descend ed the Father of Waters. on the sixth day of the month reaching the Indian village of Tamarounh. the place being within the present limits of Perry County, Missouri. C.
 In hts report of this voyage, Father St. COsme tells of climbing, to the ton of this rock. upon which he planted q cross with religious ceremonies.
 In nearly two and a quarter centu- ries, since Father St. Cosme placed the cross upon that rock it has been one of the picture places along the Miss isSlppi- It was one of the marks i,y which river pilots guided their hoats and for many years was ona 6f the dis tinguiShing points by which directions were given to strangers penetrating in- to the wilderness that lay on the vest bank Tourists are always attracted by the rocks beauty and the picturesque surroundings.

 Little Comnton and it's neighbor, Adamsyille, claim the honor of hay- ing originated the famous Rhode Is- land Red poultry strain, which has now spread throughout the world Years ago, when New England ships sailed the seven seas, some ambitious sailor man brought home to Rhode Island a pair of fowls from Cochin, China. Other seafarers brought other varieties of chickens from the Malay peninsula. A crossing of these breeds is believed to have produced the first direct ancestors of the present Rhode Island Reds, which are now worth millions of dollars yearly to Ameri- can farmers.i
 So important has the breed become that books have been written about it's propagation, and, Rhode Island Red shows aree held annually throughout the, country, at which only this va riety of poulsry is exhibited. The eggs produced. by the flocks that take the blue ribbons in these exhibitions are sold at prices that are sometimes fabulous. For such eggs $50 set. ting is not considered an .extravagant price. That a fowl originating in a semi-tropicaI land should thrive so we'll in the colder climate of the United .states lis regarded as one, of the ano- malies of poultry culture. ! ,.

 William Tripp and John McCom- Der, both.. of the Little Compton dis trict, are known to have been among the first breeders of the Reds! Many other families in the> vicinity have raised the fowls. for genera lions, so that the credit for the achievement is widespread.

Of the dis. eussion would lead to some result.
 The minister dealt at some length with the recent speech of Premier Poin. care, declaring. that it was inconceiv. able to him how Germany could bf reproached for her efforts to regain heI influence in the occupied territory.

It was also incompatible with the. re. peated assuranees of French fieutralitt toward internal German questions. Re. ferring to the palatinate question, Dr. Stresemann said the policy of General De Metz handed over the loyal, German population to the rule of "a, separatist robber band; there could be no talk of any support of the separatist. endeaVofs by the palatinate peasantry. a, g
