THE FRENCH VIEWPOINT
Ifc is only just to present a
man’s viewpoint if one is to dis
cuss his affairs. It is but fair to
consider what is in the mind of the
French, apart from tho all
egation that France plans to set
up an independent republic lit the
.Rhine valley, and a part from the
faot that mistakes may have been
made by the Allies in adding large
indemity to already largo repara
tions. To look on Lite bright side,
let it be cohsidered how tho French
intend to profit by the Rhur in
vasion and whether or not there
can come good out of the enter
prise, now that the step has been
taken.
1’his is best given, it appears, in
an editorial reeeutly appearing in
the L’Eclio do L’Ouest, of San
Francisoo; ,
The world, forgetting all France
suffered, seems to believe all tne
Germans say arid take their tears
and whines at face value. The
aggressors become interesting than
tho victims. But forbearance has
its limit; Franco has reached' that
limit. What will happen! No one
knows. Prediction cannot bo in
dulged in. Yet it may be less full
of fearful oonsetiue.ncos than the
policy of forbearance and inaction
might have been. The occupation
of the territory where the rich
magnates of Germany make their
money and from where they mar
the republican ibgimo of their
country may prove a blessing in
disguise to the common people of
Germany. It may bring to those
inagnatbs a realization of the
meaning of plighted faith,, of
honor, of repentance; it may te^cli
them that cruel as > they were
against their former fees, they are
more oruel yet to their own people
In compelling France to invade
their country and a tempt to col-
leot her due. The going of France
into the Ruhr may help ‘to com
solidato tho republican form of
goverment in Germany and dis^
rupb the wise and Iong-Sought-out
combinations of Hugo Rtinnesand
liis like.
But whatever the result may be;
grieved as Franco ( is to have to
act alone, no one, who lira any
smse of fair play can blame her
for acting as she dees. A ihor-j
aborium France would have will
ingly granted provided she had re
ceived the proper, guaranty that
at the expiration of the morato
rium'she would not be paid with
what the French call: “Monnale
db Singe.’/. ' .
In 1906 6an Francisco suffered
from earthquake and fire. All the
insurance companies. American,
English or French,paid their losses
'The German ermpauies, owned by
IJugo Stinnes aud compeers,
,>v< lohed, and to this day SanFran-
ciscoans wait the payment of
their losses. It seems that it is in
the blood to repudiate and quibble
always about their just debt.
This is the basis, in large part,
on which the/Fronch policy is, ii6w
operating. It does not state the
whole situation* and history of'the
question, but it furuisbes at least
a key to the French mind.—^Ma

Savannah, Ga., Jan. 29,— An
nouncement is made by the Cen~
tral of Georgia Railway Company
of the appointment of W. F. Tur
ner as horticultural agent, with
headquarters at Macon, Ga. * Mr.
Turner assumes his new dulibs on
February 1st. He has been for
seven years assistant, entomologist
with the Georgia State Board of
Entomology and resigns the po
sition of acting Slate- Entomolo*
gist to take up his work for the
railway. He is a graduate of Am
herst College and was for five
years with the Alabama Board of
Entomology.
Mr. Turner has devoted particu
lar attention ta peaches, pecans
and apples and his services will be
at the disposal of those in Central
of Georgia territory interested in
any branch of horticulture. He
will be connected with the Agri
cultural Department of the rail
way which is directed by J. F.
Jackson, general agric u 1 t u r a I
agent.
The appointment is in line with
tho Central of Georgia policy of
developing the resources of the
territory it serves and Mr. Tur
ner’s activities will - suppl, ment
those of the agricultural depart
ments four agents whose head
quarters are at Griffin. Columbus,
Cuthbort and Millcdgeville.
Clovers make excellent
feed whether used as pasture, os
hay, or as soiling crops. Because
of the high protein content they
are vauabie for growing animals
and a good supplement to corn.
One ton of clover hay, says the
United States Department of Ag
riculture, has a feeding value for
fattening animals equal to lyi tons
of timothy hay. thrfeo-ifourihs ton
of shelled oorn, and two-tbirds
tori of wheat bran.
Corn is tho most important crop
in tho United States, both in acre
ave and in value. The quanity of
yield is greatly influenced by the
quality of seed planted, says the
United States Department of Ag
riculture. A practical way to dt *
crease the cost of harvesting ti e
crop if,it is to bo fed to hogs is to
let the hogs do tho harvesting or
“hogging down” by turning them
into the fields in the fall.
soy bean ciin be grown' £uc-
ces-ifully with corn in the Corn
Belt, as it can be hogged down
arid it helps to balance the ration
of corn'; It can be growh on a
wide range of soils, but inocula
tion is necessary when it is grown
fdivthe first timb, says the United
States Department of Agricu fiure.
The. hay from this crop contains a
high percentage of prptein and is
palatable* This plant, adds a great
deal to the value of silage when it
is grown with silage corn.

Just a Word Why
Churches Should Advertise
The writer was in Syracuse, N. Y., one Sunday last August,
He was detained because of an accident to his car. He wanted
to go to church that night, but he didn't know where to go.
He picked up the Syracuse Sunday paper and looked through
it from the frontpage to the back, but there wasn't a,word
about the church or the church services. As far as the papers
were concerned that city might, have been churchless.
But it wasn’t so with the movies and other houses of
entertainment. Oh, ho! Their invitations were spread in large
advertisements all over the page. There were a dozen or so
invitations to go out on Sunday night for amusement, but
not one to go to the House of God.
Possibly the church notices appeared in the Saturday
issue. They generally do, but jhis was Sunday and the
Sunday paper was the, one available. The amusement
places do not overlook the Sunday papers. •
There may have been many more in the city with .the
same thoughts and desire as the writer. He happened to
remember that sometimes the churches have bulletins in» the
hotel corridors, so he took the trouble to go downstairs.
Being a Methodist, he looked for the Methodist churches.
There were two on the board, so he picked out one and
took a chance.
We suppose that some will say . that a man or woman
who Wants to go to church will find a way. That’s true, •
but why permit the theatres to have the monopoly? Isn’t the
church a business ? If it isn’t, it’s time it was. Think it over.
