THE HOME JOURNAL W.F. TURNER HORTICDtTURAL AGENT. Price, $1.50 A Year, In Advance Published Every Thursday Morning. Official Orgun of Houston County, JOHN IL & JOHN L. HODGES. Pbhbv, Thursday, Fob. 1. THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL. OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES 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 con Telegraph. - ■■•■'■0 - Make farm inventory new while there is more time aud at a\ start of year, or get everything ready now and complete ft first of April or May when old feed is used up to th® lowest point.

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.

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.
