America Is Feeding
The World!
Now is thc time to farm-more so

whether Cotton is bringing a good
price or not.
FOODSTUFFS ARE HIGH
Why? Because TWENTY ODD MIL

and all Europe is depending on Amer
ica for food.
We have tracts of desirable land in
arj$, size wanted, and at "live and let
live" prices. Quit renting and buy a
farm of your own.

T1IK (JIT-BOOK LIVING BOOM
After the beat and stress of th?
day, and the enclosing walls of house
and omeo, what is more restful, and
refreshing than spending the late af
terhoon, and eveniug nours In th?
open air, and how much more delight
ful when these hours ari' spent li:
your own garden, surrounded by youl
own flowers, shrubs and trees. 1
know of no more genuine pleasure
than having a piece of ground, nc
matter how small, of your v?Tjr* own
to plant and arrange as it suits yo?'
The delight of finding that your tre ,
are rooted, that your hedge is reallj
growing, and seeds are comiug .up
recur year after year, the keen edgt
of the Joy ls never dulled, and waen
after weeks of cheerful labor thing;

flowering shrubs, and the corners ol
bright blossoms, meets y Dur delight

Xoy add some benches, and rockers
and a low table, strong stout ina
terlal that can stand the weat .er

under, or near a tree, and your out
door living room is complete. Sit
ting there in the cool of the evening
the kindly hedge shielding you iron
the curious public, the soft greet
of the lawn resting your tired eye?
the exquisite tints of flowers, and leal
the freshness of air, and the wide ex
i pause of sky overheard soot.ling you
[ weary mind, and resting your nerves
you are happy yourself, and at peac
with the world. You see so man;
neglected yards, that could be mad
into charming gardens, and out-don
living rooms, if people were only i
little leas careless, and had a HUI
more energy. Many say they canno
afford it. which slmplly means that 1
ia too much trouble, as any abl<
bodied man or woman, can have ;
lovely bit of lawn, shrubs, and flow
era, at really very little expent??. Bu
you mutt love the open, and hrv

In the world is the Kn g li sh hawthon

In putting out a California priv

CHAMPAGNE FAMINE
l'aria, Aug. 27.-(Associated Press
Correspondence. )-Pink champagne,
or ?ven red, is a threatened possibili
ty as a result of the A ir, unless the
winegrowers of the chanipagu dis
trict are helped out by white wino
growers of other regions. The glass
works of HOI tl,n u France and of Bel
gian that have furnished wine grow
ers of t io champagne dist riet aro
ehort of casks-more than half of
last year's vintage helm; still in (tie
wood. Tho use of casks from Hie
Burgundy tuti Bordeaux red-wine re
gion? ?ma been proposed, ami if this
suggestion is taken up there are
chances that Uie cru of 1015 will be
pink, it would be Impracticable to
thoroughly cleanse the red-wine casks
of their color, and it ls said taut the
roddish color would in no wise lia rm
the champagne.
The "Mountains of Rheims" where
the champagne ls produced have, like
Uno "Holghts of the Meuse" disap
peared from thc official communique.
The steady pressure from IMO French
side o? the fighting lino disengaged
finally the last of the Important cham
pagne vineyards, though those of St.
Thierry and llarmonville to the
north of the river Verde are rigiit
next to tho trenches, and t'Uose on
the northern Blope of the enemy's ar
tillery. Notwithstanding all tho dif
ficulties the 2.->,000 acres of thc Cham
pagne district will produce one-third
more wine than last year, bringing tho
total to the normal average before
the war.
Inexperienced women and chjld
ren, guided by old wine-growers, did
the pruning between January l"i and
the end of March. Women also
fought the mildew, and, altogether,
succeeded so well that the war diffi
culties will have had far less influ
ence on thc crop than thc vine dis
eases that prevailed four years ago
end prevented the formation of tho
fruit, or than Hie inundations of 1910.
For tlie gathering of tho crop more
trouble la anticipated than lai't year.
After tho battle of the Marne there
were a great many refugeos In tho
champagne country, who hoiped with
the vintage. These have boon evacu
ated since. Moreovor the auMiorltlat-,
hesitate to allow women and children
to expose themselves any louder on
the northern slope of thc "Mountains'
o? Rheims" where they aro liable n*.y
day to bo caught by a ?tray shell.
Leave will doubtless be given to a
sufficient number of wlu^-growers
under anns to do thia work, a? well
as Cae operation of tho COO wlnt
presses in the., department of the
.Marne, requiring eat< . five men dur
ing a period of fifteen days.
The commercial Importance of the
champagne country to France ap
pears from the latest figure? avail
able, those of^BrWFOribo total pro
duction of fine wines, valued at $31,
000,000. the champagne district pro
duced $15,000,000, the rest conting
from the Burgundy and Bordeaux ro
gions principally. One of the best
customers for the fine winos of
?France was Germany, who boug it
$6,600,000 worth a year; surpassed
only by Great Britain, who took $7.
750,000 worin, with- Belgium coming
next with $6.750,000. Franco lias,
accordingly, for the time being lost
an outlet for wines to tho amount of
$13,350,00 annually. The i'nitc-J
?tates, with purchases of $2.100,000
a year, was tho poorest customer,
