TOUCHED THEM ALL

Grim Men of War Affected by Pathetic Scene. Only the Passing of Little Coffin on Its Way to the Cemetery, but for a Time It Held Up Traffic in a Channel Port. There was some noise along the jetty and yet more noise in the wide and narrow streets of the town — clanging street cars, whip-cracking fiacres, yelling newsboys, honking taxis, and soldiers and sailors tramping the pavements. Noise enough and of the kind befitting a channel port in war time; but for ‘a |ime at least : we heard the noise let down and the bustle softened. In a wide street of shops appeared a white-haired priest with a white crucifix held high before him. Behind him was another priest reading from a book of prayer. Two laymen came next, bearing a little white painted table with a little white coffin —a cheap board coffin —resting on It. There was a canopy of plain white boards over the little coffin. There were a few white blossoms on the canopy and beside the coffin a few lilies-of-the-val-ley—only a few. Two other laymen followed the cof-fin-bearers. All the men were bareheaded. Three women—young women and young mothers to look at—followed the two "men. One of the young women was in deep black. A group of little girls followed the young woman. Two very old women came last. No more than that, walking through a crowded street at two o’clock of a bright day!

It was on us almost before we saw ft. Men took off their hats as it passed; women blessed themselves. Sometimes men’s lips murmured a short prayer, always the women did. The soldiers and sailors, when they were French, saluted nearly always; the British sometimes. The officers, if anything, saluted more profoundly than the enlisted men and, when they did not stop dead still, held a hand to their caps for eight or ten paces in passing. Two soldiers were talking with two girls of the streets. One of the soldiers took off his cap. One of the girls stopped talking to say a little word of prayer. Both soldiers faced about and all four gazed in silence for long after the little cortege had passed on. Then the first soldier put on his cap," all faced about and resumed their talk, but more slowly and not quite so loudly as before. English Tommy was driving a streef car—a swearing Tommy that you could hear a block away. He came on the mourners from behind. He was in a hurry, and by clanging his bell he could have crowded by. But he held the car in check, nursing it so as not to frighten the two old women in the rear —until they came to a wide square. Here there was room. He clanged his bell, not too loudly, turned on the juice, and hurried to make up for lost time. Men are being killed by the millions over here, and other men who have been there —these very men on these streets —will tell you that they hardly turn their heads to see one more killed. But a child is different. — James B. Connolly, In Collier’s, r

One of the Women of France.

I saw a very good-looking nurse in a French hospital dressing a man’s head which had been seared in a powder explosion. She chatted in good English as she prepared the wound for another application of the remedy. I did not know until later that she was the Baroness de Rothschild, herself the founder of the hospital. When I dined at her chateau that evening she told me that she worked with the wounded every day from 7 a. m. to 1, when she went home to .luncheon; that she returned to her task at 4 and quit at 7 in the evening. It gave me a new sensation to hear this beautiful woman in evening dress and jewels, vs;hose wealth it would be difficult to estimate, telling how she had become one of the working women of France. It was odd by the old standards, but c’est la guerre. —lrving Batcheller in the New York Independent.

All in the Point of View.

Pavlowa says when her company arrived in Buenos Aires all the papers were full of their praises except a little new native paper, which published an article saying nothing else than that “they were surprised that the men and women of the company were so imnioral.” " 1 As Mme. PavldWa is very particular about her company that hurt a lot and she quickly made inquiries as to why so astounding a statement should have been made. “Why,” answered the editor, “the girls go about unveiled with short skirts on and the men often wear no hats!” —Detroit Free Press.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER. INJ.

INCREASE IN WESTERN CANADA ACREAGE Will Prove a Big Factor in Winning the War. Reports to hand indicate that Western Canada has a vastly increased acreage ready for crop this year over last year. The splendid open fall of 1917, gave a better opportunity for fall plowing than for some years. Work In the fields was almost continuous until the end of November. In fact, in the neighborhood of Pincher Creek, Alberta, there was sufficieig mild weather in January of this year to permit farmers to plow, and many took advantage of it.- A great many Americans owning land in Canada moved up last year, and this has also helped to increase the acreage. They came into possession of the land at prices varying from $15.00 to $30.00 an acre, and with the proven yields of wheat running from twenty and as high as fifty bushels per acre, with a set price of $2.21 a bushel, they could join production and patriotism together with a big margin of profit The Post-Intelligencer of Seattle, Wash., gives a very conservative statement of the agricultural development and opportunities In Western Canada. In its issue of December 14, 1917, it says:— “Since the beginning of the year American emigration into Canada has been greatly stimulated according to the reports of the Dominion authorities, and has been almost entirely made up of farmers attracted by the'fertile and comparatively cheap wheat lands. “Whatever may be said of wheat culture as a profitable avocation in ordinary years, since the beginning of the war it has offered advantages quite’beyond the usual opportunities. War has boomed the price of wheat until the farmer now receives around $2 for his product at his granary. Average crops, according to the adaptation of soil and climate are from 12 to 25 bushels to the acre. Even the minimum crop, at $2 per bushel, brings in these war times a reasonable profit. Before the war wheat culture was fast being abandoned by farmers who worked intelligently for results on the right ride of the ledger. It has been the popular crop for new countries, but when the pioneers settled down to business it was generally corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farming that brought the profits. lowa and the Dakotas in turn, as their prairies became settled, mortgaged the land on wheat culture and afterwards paid off the mortgages with corn and hogs. “War is thus bringing a temporary encouragement to wheat farming. Many of the ranchers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta laid away $20,000 to $30,000 in the banks last fall. It may be pointed out, however, that the growing of wheat is not the only inducement which is leading settlement to Canadian lands. Low taxation, favorable agricultural climate, and profitable prices not only for grain but for hogs, cattle and all forms of farm produce all contribute their share toward tliS rapid settlement of the fertile lands of Western Canada.” —Advertisement.

ALL IN FIGHT FOR LIBERTY

Every Man, Woman and Child in the United States Is Charged With a Sacred Duty. A war machine, today, is America. Traveling the road of Success, it is bound for Victory. With the direction of the machine we have, most of us, little to do. We must trust the man at the wheel of State to drive forward with speed and dare. But with the condition of the machine itself we are Implicitly concerned. For its effective operation we are every one.of us responsible. Every American is, in fact, an essential part of the mechanism which Is to carry the world forward to a hew era of liberty. But the motor, alas, is not yet “tuned up.” It rattles badly. Loose and imperfectly assembled, it knocks and overheats. Why? Because so many of us are still careless and confident, indifferent to our duty as citizens. In one week, for instance, there were reported 537 violators of the lighting regulations in New York. There still are profiteers, still women who knit colored sweaters for their own use, still persons who repeat scandalous rumors, deterring the Cause. Tightwads and slackers still abound. No wonder our war machine is still ineffectual. It needs the regulation of a national conscience. How then shall we tighten up the screws? This way: Every citizen must see to* it that his part is well done. We must stop all leaks —economize in light, coal, wheat, beef and sugar. We must get more mileage, give up pleasure and profit, knit, work, Inspire others, Jnsist that all obey the law, and watch out for spies. The motor must have suel —subscribe to the Liberty loan. Lubricate the machinery* with contributions to the Red Cross! There is, in short, only one thing upon which we must all concentrate —Success! And Success will not come until every man, woman and child realizes his own yital responsibility in the prosecution of this war as a great crusade for universal democracy. Are you doing everything in your power to help win the war? —helping in every way and every day? Do you feel that nothing matters except victory? If we do not win—disaster! When everyone regards his obligations as deeply as if he were an enlisted soldier and fights in his own way the civic battle of patriotism, then, and not till then, will the American war machine bring us to the longed-for end—universal peace.— Gelett Burgess, of The Vigilantes.

Australia and the farm.

Plans for the .further development of the agricultural possibilities of Australia at the close of the European war are already being considered by the government and as a first step It is proposed to establish a federal bureau bf agriculture which work heretofore has been handled separately by the bureaus of the different states themselves. To obtain first-hand information as to how the bureau of agriculture at Washington conducts the affairs of the bureau and the experiment stations throughout all the states, the Australian government is IE.

China Now Supplying Hair Nets.

The war has added a to woman’s crowning glory. Mnauy’s "invisible” hair nets are now made in China. Already' the hand of the Hun has been removed from the heads of our women. All these nets used to be “made in Germany.” The “made in Germany” is in quotation because, as a matter of fact, the nets were made in China and only finished up in German and Austrian villages. The war has knocked out this traffic and the nets now come direct from the province of Shantung, China, where labor is cheap and human hair plentiful. The traffic last year amounted to $334,000. The division of woman’s war work of the committee on public information, responsible for this information, does not say from what kind of a Chinese person, male, female, live or dead, the hair comes.

How Ships Sink.

Nearly every class or design of vessel Is said to sink in a particular way. For instance, the old type of single-bot-tom steamer, with few or no bulkheads —almost invariably founders on more or less of an even keel, which means that they sink level. The case of a modern vessel, which is built with numerous subdivisions, founders with her bow or stern high out of the water; or with a heavy list to one side. The bulkheads prevent the water which enters the vessel from finding the level; consequently, when one particular portion of the ship is full of water while the remainder is practically water-tight, that part which is water-laden sinks first.
