FRENCH COMMON SENSE

When France agreed to withdraw from the Rhur

years and half
When Poincare adopted French policy of 'blood
and iron" and an army into the great German in
dustral district to force reparation payment Amer
can newspapers insisted that while France had great
provocation that not practical way to collect
that the Germans would resist than ever and the
result would be to cripple the German Industrial ma
chine thus making payment impossible and perhaps
provoking armed resistance
Poincare fell from power at last, when the French
public came to realize fully what his policy costing

KEEPING ACCOUNTS

Agricultural extension workers devote some of
their time to teaching farmers how to keep and
yze their farm accounts and the farmers quick
see the value of this work
One such beginner in farm bookkeeping discover
ed at the end of his first year of careful figuring that
the crops he fed to livestock brought him money
than the sold outright that his method of hand
ling his hogs efficient that he getting very
poor returns from his and that the number of
cultivated per his farm, we'll as the
number of per horse, were below average
He remedied these faults right away. He sold
scrub out of his herd replacing them with
cows of good dairy records He .replanned his crop
area reducing it from IL fields to nine fields of bet
ter production.
AT the end of the second year his figures showed
that the income from the farm, after paying all
penses and interest his investment, had achieved
increase of $3.50 the preceding year.
There's lesson in this for many other farmers.
There is also lesson for lot of folks who not
farmers Well-planned budgets and properly kept
accounts show many individual where the fnan-
cal leaks are and where profits may be improved by
normal readjustments. Carrying the idea still fur
ther it is helpful many times to make reckoning of
ones mental and spiritual activities and if gains in
these things falling behind possibilities to improve
them by figuring out where the waste has in and
where profitable of working and leisure hours
may be made.

BACK TO ASIA

Japan is said to have new Chinese policy In
stead of being concerned solely with commercial and in
dustrial exploitation of China, Japan is engaged in
what Yusuki Tsurumi in an American lecture calls
cultural work.
That is, Japan is interesting itself in studying
Chinese civilization along with oriental civilization
generally And she going about it somewhat as she
went about studying western civilization generation
or two ago 1t is striking change Perhaps it is in
dlcatve OF new spirit throughout Asia.
The people of China and JAPAN says Mr..
Isuruml ARE turning more upon themselves,
exploring their own resources of spirit and seeking
way to victory along paths that are linked with the
giories of the past"
This does not mean military glory Apparently
the scholarly Japanese who tells about it. and the cu
tured orletnals behind him. thinking of something
quite different. Dsillusioned by the material
glorles of Europe and America they regainng
dencc in the best elements of their civilization.
They are not preaching "Asa for Asiatcs' much
preaching that Asia has things worth while for Asia
lcs which will stand comparison with any values the
West has to offer.
When Asiatics speak thus, they command respect
among all who know anything of the world, past and
present Asia was the birthplace of civilization. 1t
Asia that taught Europe, in essential things The
worlds great religions have out of Asia There
are STILL no doubt, resources of knowledge and power
in that great continent of which the West generally
knows little which have nothing to do with armed
force material success and which might benefit the
West as much the Vests scientific progress can
benefit the East.

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN HAVE

THEIR STRENGTH, ENERGY

EXPERIMENT

On account of the terrible weak

produced by iron starvation of
the blood, frequently the sufferer
never suspects the real cause of
her trouble but thinks she has some
other ailment. AS a result of iron
starvation you may suffer from
headaches, dizziness, shortness of
breath or heart palpitation, pains
across the back, loss of memory,
weak willpower, melancholy or the
"blues, +" disturbed digestion, loss
of appetite, sleepless nights, night
sweats and so on. In such cases
do not wait until you go all to
pieces and collapse in a state of
nervous prostration but eat more
spinach and green vegetables and
take organic iron like Nuxate1
Iron with them for a while and see
what a difference it makes. But be
sure the iron you take is organic
people usually take. Metallic iron
is iron just as it comes from the
action of strong acids on small
pieces of iron, while organic iron
like Nuxated Iron is like the iron
in your blood and like the iron in
spinach, lentils and apples. Beware
Of substitutes. Look for the name

low stump bungalow, and there the
little rabbit boy began to dig. He
dug and he dug and then he dug
more. He made deep holes in the
ground. He tunneled here and
there, building burrows. Burrows,
you know, are underground tunnels
i'll which rabbits live when they
don't have hollow stump bunga-
lows.
All of a sudden, as Sammie was
digging deep down in the ground,
he heard voices up over his head.
"That sounds like Uncle Wiggily
and Nurse Jane talking thought
Sammie, down in the burrow he had
made. II must be under and near
the bungalow, III dig straight up
and surprise Uncle Wiggigy."
Sammie began digging 50 he
would come out on top of the
ground. He worked his paws very
fast. My, how he made the dirt
fly behind him! Soon he saw
glimmer of light. Then he broke
through the crust of earth and
came out on top of the ground.
And he happened to dig out right
behind where Uncle WiggilS was
standing, talking to Nurse Jane in
the garden. Uncle Wiggily was
saying.
81 told that Sammie boy to come
and dig in my garden, but | don It
see him anywhere! Dear me How
lazy the young rabbits are now!"
And just then Sammie popped,
UP out of the hole he had dug.
Nurse Jane saw him, and, pointing
her tail at him she squeaked:
There's Sammie now-behind
you, Uncle Wiggily!"
Where?p cried the rabbit un-
Gle, and he turned SO quickly that
he tumbled head over tail into the
hole sammie had dug. Right on
top of Sammie, in the hole, toppled
Uncle Wiggily, falling backward.
.'Hal Hat laughed Sammie, as
he scrambled out. 81 guess IN al
pretty good digger, Uncle Wiggily!
Hal Hal" And then he stopped
laughing for he feared Uncle Wig
gily might be hurt, or angry.
But the bunny gentleman was
neither. Up he. jumped with a
laugh and a twinkle Of his pink
nose.
You are, indeed, a good digger,
Sammie, " he said. !" But next time
please don't dig hole for me to
tumble into. Sammie said he
wouldn I. and then he ate the loily-
pop gum drop his uncle gave him.

Once upon a time, as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping over the fields
and through the woods, looking for
an adventure, he saw Sammie Lit
tletail, the rabbit boy, lying on a
bed of ferns under a greenwood
tree. And Sammie was Just lying
there, blinking his eyes, lazy like.
"What are you doing, Sammie? 20
asked Uncle Wiggily, for he often
watched over the animal boys and
girls of WOODLAND to see that
they didn t get into mischief.
"I'm not doing anything, Uncle
Wiggilyl" laughed Sammie, "and
I'm having lot of fun doing it. -

"Well,- I'm glad you knew your

" but it ism t good for a growing
rabbit boy to grow up lazy. You
should find something to keep you
busy. / don't mean that you
should not play some of the time
no, indeed But it seems to me
you ought to be practieing your

under a tree, doing nothing"
"All right" cheerfully answer
