COMING BACK
A LADY
LAWYER
Dojughboys, who remember the terrific devastation they saw
in France, will be especially interested to learn that France is
steadily getting the damages repaired. It is important news *io all
of us, that France is more than halfway-back to normal. Why
important ? Because our prosperity depends to considerable
patent on Europe’s come-back. And France is as much a key
nation, as Germany, to the general European situation. For in-
L.ancc 741,883 building in France were destroyed or suffered se
rious damage. The French government reports that nearly 500,000
of these building have been rebuilt by September/1, the date of
the last check-up. Later figures arc not available, since it takes
several mjn.hs to round up the information. And, of the 22,900
French factories destroyed in -the war, 20,000 had been rebuilt
September 1.
About 5,000,000 acres of French farming land were rendered
unfit for cultivation by battles. Nearly 4,400,000 acres of these
have been cleared of shells, leveled and again are bearing crops.
The war trenches totaled 436,230,000 cubic yards of earth exca
vated, and about 365,000,000 cubic yards have been filled in.
barbed wire entanglements at the close of the orar totaled 446,-
108,000 square yards. Doughboys wondered hdw the French
would ever manage to coil’ the wire. Well, 341,000,000 square
yards of wire entanglement have been coiled and removed. And
over a million abandoned shells have been gathered up and
destroyed or stored.
France loafing on the job? THat’s ridiculous. The French
have been as active as ants, at repairing the damages of war.
Damages in the-French devastated regions, according to French
official . estimates, totaled 102,000,000,000 francs. France has
spent 44,00fo,000,000 francs repairing the damages, and on Hp*
account Germany has paid 4,000,000,000 francs. These are the
French government’s figures. The devastation of France, as re
vealed by these statistics, is almost beyond human imagination’s
grasp. If ^je’d had similar destruction in America, no doubt we’d
bo foaming at the mouth and! generally acting emotionally in a
way that other countries would find hard to understand. - All this
must be kept in mind,’in judging the present French attitude.

Mr. Jurcell says a considerable

is looking flne. He says alfalfa is
one of the most'' profitable crops
we can grow, "but it requires rich

Mr. George O’Kelly planted four
acres of alfalfa last year. He cut
from it, four tons to the acre and
found a ready sale for the hay at
135 a ton. Trite is & return of $140
an acre, and alter planting the on

FARM BLOC BLOCKS FORD.
The “farm bloc” has left Henry Ford in the. lurch by with
drawing its support from the Ford proposal to develop the Mus-i
sel Shoals property. Representative Dickinson, Republican from
Iowa, who is the leader of the farm block has introduced a bill
in the House to continue Government ownership of the property,
and according to the' provisions of the bill, the government is to
go into the manufacture of fertilizer to sell to farmers and the ex
cess water power will be offered for saie.
The bill authorizes a government controlled corporation
known as the Federal Chemical Corporation, consisting of five
members. Three of the members are to be appointed by the Pres
ident and two will be the Secretaries of Agriculture and' War.
The corporation will have power to complete /the plant with,
money provided for that purpose and to operate the plant for the
manufacture of fertilizer which will be sold to the. farmers at the
lowest possible cost.
“TJie Ford offer has Been subjected to general criticism,”,
said Mr. Dickinson. “Objection is made to giving to any indi
vidual ttje benefits of an investment of $105,000,000, obligating
the government for $50,000,000 more an* the placing of this great
vprpperty in a private corporation which would have the added ad

horse gilded oats from an ivory manger in a marble stable, and
allowed him to drink only the most delicious of wines. Irritatus
had a palace, with servants, in which he_ “entertained” other
horses. Caligula also appointed this favorite steed a consul or

palace of the emperor was floored witff tiles of solid gold. Walls
and ceilings were inlaid with gold, jewelry, ivory. The roof of
the banquet hall resembled the sky at night, tffl stars and'nioon

from this artificial- sky, came a rain of perfume drops. No, we
