The United States department of

wide aspect, Dr. Henry G. Knight,

Sand soils, reports. He has just re
turned to Washington from an in
spection trip of the middle west,
porthwest and Pacific coast states,
and reports that measures are being
taken in all districts to prevent
erosion.

b From Kansas City Star.
The country has been impressed
with the thought that it is possible
for veterans so to conduct them
selves in times of peace as to com
promise the exalted standing they

possibility, Fiank T. Hines, director
of the veterans’ bureau, has issued a
e arning that unless the former ser

imposing “intolerable burdens'’ on
the country.

The farm scales balance this way in North Carolina, with the re
sult that “llve-at-home” exponents practice their theory—and their
incomes have shown a decided increase.
Raleigh, N. C. — — Farm
girls and women enrolled in North
Carolina home demonstration clubs
increased their supply of home
canned goods by a quarter of a mil
lion cans in 1930 over the previous
year.
"Live-At-Home” enthusiasts say
that using the average yields and
average prices for cotton and to
bacco in 1330, it would have taken
more than nine acres of cotton and
almost two and one half acres of
I tobacco to purchase the vegetables
| which can be grown in a half acre
' garden.
Food and feed crops which show
a 4 per cent to 35 per cent gain,
in North. Carolina include corn,
oats, barley, hay, soy beans, cow
peas, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes,
sorghum, truck crops, laying hens,
and dairy cows. The cotton acre
age was reduced 12 per cent and the
income from other products in
creased $19,000,000.

A new legume, introduced in Flor
ida in 1929, and which has been
spread over the south since, is re
ported as being a valuable cover
crop by the department of agri
culture. It is ‘ crotalaria,” of which
there are GOO species, five of which
are native to eastern United States.
The movement from farms' to cit

I cities was 2,155,000 persons in 1926,
: 1.876,000 in 1929 and 1,543,000 in
1930. The movement from cities to
farms last year was the highest
since 1924, more than 1,392,000 per
sons leaving urban for rural life.
In truck farming it is best to re
serve a small corner of the farm for
a seed bed. the department of agri
culture advises. Plants of such crops
as lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower and
tomato will be more stocky if they
are started in a specially prepared
soil and later transplanted.
French Assume Leadership.
Joseph Wood Krutch in Harper'3
Magazine.
At his mast generous the French
man regards the visitor ns the pos
sible recipient of the benefits of
French culture. It would never oc
cur to him to suspect that he had
I anything nonmaterial to gain from
mands made on Congress in the
last session and on intimations cf
still greater demands likely to come
In the near future. It will be re
tailed that the first proposal as to
veterans' insurance was that the
policies be cashed in full, not be
cause of any need by the majority
cf the insured, but because a consid
erable number were in actual need.
The cash demand was denied, but
the loan privilege was extended to
50 per cent. The extent to which
this privilege has been exercised—
f ar beyond those in real need of it—
has justiiid the arguments made
contact with the representatives or
other civilizations.
Even at the height of the uncriti
cal enthusiasm produced by the
war, Americans were sometimes a
little startled by the calmness with
which they found the French as
suming that the interests of France
were naturally the first concern of
her allies as well as of herself.
No one else seemed ever to have
taken quite so literally the saying
about every man’s having two coun
tries. which was, for the French,
not merely a graceful compliment,
but a natural and reasonable fact.
And when, a little later, there arose
a ‘‘party of the intelligence” (com
posed of quite respectable French
intellectuals) which calmly pro
posed—without the least suspicion
that the phraseology might by oth
ers be considered insolent—"an in
tellectual union of the world under
the leadership of victorious France,
guardian of all civilization,” we had
a glimpse into that abyss of nation
al complacency which in France is
so familiar and so nearly universal
that it is never even rebuked.
American complacency, so often
satirized, is, as a matter of fact,
unsure and merely blustery by com
parison — conspicuous chie-ly be
cause it is neither universal nor
very skillfully articulate. The bet
ter educated an American the
more likely he is to develop a spirit
of self-criticism and a tendency to
ward cultural internationalism.
But in France, on the contrary,
exactly the reverse is true. It is the
intellectual classes which are most
arrogant, most provincial, and most
sure that France alone is the guar
dian “of all civilization.”

WOMEN: watch your
BOWELS
What should women do to keep their
bowels moving freely? A doctor
should know the answer. That is why
pure Syrup Pepsin is so good for
women. It just suits their delirate
organism. It is the prescription of an
old family doctor who has treated
thousands of women patients, and
who made a special study of bowel
troubles.
It is fine for children, too. They
love its taste. Let them have it every
time their tongues are coated or their
skin is sallow! Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin is made from fresh laxative
herbs, pure pepsin and other harm
less ingredients.
When you’ve a sick headache,
can't eat, are bilious or sluggish;
and at the times when you are most
ant to be constipated, take a little of
this famous prescription (all drug
stores keep it ready in big bottles),

A LOW-COST GAS
SERVICE FOR ALL
No Matter Where You Live
You Can Light, Heat and
Cook With Gas
It may seem strange, hut It Is true
nevertheless, that while many city
folks are complaining about high
gas rates, thousands of rural folks
are enjoying modern gas service for
lighting, heating nnd cooking at low
cost. Stranger still is the fact that
these country residents are far from
nny gas mains.
Here's the answer: Along with the
many other Improvements for the
farm nnd rural communities has
come pressure gns appliances for
Hie home. These new Inventions
have especially been a boon to the
housewife. They lighten her work,
save her time, and add no small
measure of contentment to every
member of the family.
Pressure gas appliances make nnd
burn their own gns from regular un
treated motor fuel. There are mod
ern cook stoves that fry, bake or
broil—roast, toast or boil, just like
the regular city gas range. There
are lamps and lanterns that produce
200 to 300 candlepower of pure
white light; radiant heaters thnt
produce healthful heat; self-lieating
Irons without cords or tubes; water
heaters, utility stoves, etc.
Inventive genius has made these
appliances safe nnd dependable.
They are complete in themselves.
There are no pipes to connect up;
no Installation costs of nny kind.
They produce a clear, blue gns flame
that is actually hotter than city
gns.
In obtaining better light for nil
the family, easier cooking facilities,
nnd quicker, cleaner heat through
the use of these appliances, the mod
ern farm housewife had bid good-by
to many old time drudgeries. No
longer does she have to clean the
old oil inrap chimneys and trim the
wicks; no longer is there coal or
wood to litter up the kitchen; or
ashes to carry out; no more black
ened pots and pans to scour. And
on Ironing day she no longer car
ries heavy sad-irons back and forth
from stove to Ironing bonrds.
That's real farm relief for the
women folks!—Adv.
