Seeking to Ce*x a Living From
tho Soil. ?
A man stood on U?t> center of a
cultivated quarter acre, a scuffle hoe
In It I h lutm!. Before htm stretched
an army of beets, their tiles Jollied
with a growth of weeds, evil and In
sinuating, like Maximalists. Two
months ago this man had hud the
Keren sky spirit, hut the weeds seem
ed too much for him now. Every
shower brought VP new hutches of
them. Behind him long rows of let*
tuce were going to seed. On his
right the hills of potatoes, fertilised,
hoed and sprayed, oqw were wilting
before their time under a blight as
mysterious and unfair as poison gas.
The heat rolled u|i the garden slope
like the gmy waves at V?rdun, but
Irresistibly. Over In * & neighbor^'
field It seemed to scorch the stubble,
yet kept enough moisture so that the
hay would not cure. Uj> the hill by
the house the lawn A-as uncut and
bees roared us they fed ou the flow

Flies h muted In the hot barn where
the motor car lay Idle. On the yel
low, dusty road that led to Pickerel
pond uothlng stirred until the rural
delivery carrier's horse showed his
heud above the hill, a silhouette
against the burning blue sky.
The grass In the orchard was high.
It could be scythed and piled about
the trees as a mulch, but for what
Immcdlute purpose when the peaches,
victims of another blighting mystery,
hung like mummies?
A creaking of the well chain made
the hoeman turn toward the house.
The mall carrier had driven In to get
drink for his horse and himself. He(
waved a letter to the man with the
hoe.
"Hefe It is !" ho called out. "Here's
your notice to report on the first
call." Then he added, as If fearing
to shock ; "but you won't have to go.
You're a farmer."
The man whirled his hoe about hlft
head like a hammer-thrower and sent
it whizzing toward the barn. He
looked about him at the travail of his
field.
"The devil I'm a farmer!" he shout

Scots Hobnob With Australians.
The peculiarly fraternal sentiment
of the Indian Ghurka regiments to
ward the Highland corps has long ago
been Indicated by Kipling and was
amply demonstrated again when the
Ghurkas were In Prance. Quite as
remarkable now Is the warmth of com
radeship that exists between the Scots
and the Australians. They "draw to
each other" like old school fellows,
and In those bigger towns behind the
lines to which soldiers at long lntei*
vals resort on a pass when the monot
ony and squalor of trench or billet
life make certain towns as fascinat
ing as a metropolis. Highland bon
nets and Australian sombreros gen
erally go about In pairs. Isolated
Scots troops who flnd themselves just
now In the extensive area where Aus-'
*" dnate the landscape are
ascots, and the billy bolls
with an enthusiasm no other occasion
would engender.
"You see. we understand each other,
the Jocks and us," say the Austral
ians ; "we have both the same Idea of
a Joke."
King Albert of Belgium has now
added to his many experiences that of
being the first monarch to make an
airplane flight over hostile guns in ac
tion. So far the kaiser has confined
his air exploits to a modest trip in a
Zeppelin In peace time. ? His brother,
Prince Henry of Prussia, also had a
little flight with Count Zeppelin In pre
war days. Other prominent royalties
who have been up in airships are
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy and
the queen of Sweden.
In the English royal family several
members made -airplane flights when
flying machines were novelties, notably
Princes George and Albert of Batten
berg and the Princess Louise of Bat
tenberg. Prince Leopold of Battenberg
even went so far as to loop the loop,
his pilot being none other than Gus
tav Hammel. Prince Axel of Denmark
Is another royalty who risked his life
aloft when airplanes were not nearly
so safe as they are today.
