Louis wi offends Queen With
Hair Cut and Shaved Beard.
900 Years War Results

Fashions and personal vanity
have figured largely In the history
Of the world. And because one
queen did not. like the way her
royal spouse had cropped his hair
and shaved hts. beard. she promptly
divorced him and thereby plunged
her country into a, succession d
wars lasting nearly three hundred
years.
When Louis VII, 1 to obey the
lnjunctioTis OF his, bishops, cropped
his hair and shaved his beard,
Eleanor, his consort, found him,
with his unusual appearance, very
ridiculous, and soon found him
very contemplate. She revenged
herself as she thought proper. and
the poor king obtained a divorce,
She then married J, the Count
d'AnjOu. afterwards Henry II, and
had for her marriage dover the
rich provinces Of Potion and
Guyenne. This was the origin d
those wars which, for 300 years
ravaged France, and cost the
French 100000 Of men. All d
which would probably have never
occurred had Louis VII not been
so rash an 70 crop, his head and
shave his beard.
Henry VIII. according to Put
tenham, caused his own head, and
all his courtleFs to be pooled" and
his beard to be- cut short. Before
that time It was thought to- b
! more decent, for old. men and
young, TO be all shaver, and wear
long haire.H either rounded 81

the young gentlemen Of the court
have taken up the long haire

think this more decent. When The

their lovers with boards, the sigr
of a shaved chin excited feelings
of horror and aversion"

HAY GRADING
SYSTEM u. S.
A GREAT AID

Federal grades for hay have been
promulgated by the United States
department of agriculture following
several years of research work in
which hay from all parts of the Unit
ed States has been collected and
analyzed. The grades are in response
TO u widespread demand for stand
ard system of dCsl gnatlng the Vari-
Ous kinds and qualities of hay, and
already are being used at some of
the leading hay~markets. An inspec
ti0n service is being established in
conjunction with the Standardization
program for the purpose ofNenabling
shippers, receivers, and o(ners at n
small fee to have their product Off
ciaily inspected.
The hay crop in the United States
last year had an estimated farm
value of s ,39l 100000 Hay is one
of the four major field crops of the
United States and in many states is
the leading crop, the product re-
'ceives less thought and attention ON
many farms than such other field
crops as corn, wheat, oats, or po-
tatoes, the, department points out.
Clean meadows, cutting the hay in
proper season, curing and storing
the crop as quickly as possible, and
bailing and loading the hay accord
Mig to market demands are empha-
sized us being essential to receive
top market prices.
Hay that is unsound, overripe,
full of weeds, badly stained, or 9th
erwise of low quality is a drug on
the market and should not be baled
and shipped to market. Much of
the trouble and dissentin in hay
marketing is due to low grade hay,
Particularly in these times of high
freight rates it is usually unprofit-
able to ship low grade product, the
department says.

A motion picture on phases OF

" Rice, from Paddy TO Bowl" has
lust been released by the United
states Department Of Agriculture.
This film, one Of the department 8
series ofeducationaI pictures, shows
methods of harvesting and handling
rice that tend to improve the quail
ity of the product and enhance its
market value.
Many people living in the Eorth-
ern part Of the United States be-
lieve that all the rice sold at the
local grocery store is grown in
China or elsewhere in the Orient.
On the contrary, rs this film shows,
the United States, in 1923, for ex-
ample, produced over 22,2o0,0oO
bushels Of rough rice enough not
only to supply all the demands for
this country, but also a consider
able additional amount for export.
