On either side of the Santa Fe ex
press, in which this is written, the
corn fields and farmhouses of Kan
sas fly past It is a country unlike
that through which the writer
drove a few weeks ago in France on
the way from Paris to see Clemen-
ficai} in little cottage on the At
lantic at Lejard, not far from
Bordeaux. I
The trip through France, made in
an automobile, was as rapid as this
trip by train. In France you drive
your automobile as fast as you like,

CARE YOU HURT
French roads are wide and straight,
the car used by this writer came from
Nice tb Paris, 900 kilometers, 540
miles, in cme day and did easily the
.400 miles from Paris to Lejard be
tween breakfast and dinner.
French drivers go rapidly, but care
fully; if .they hit anybody the Ifsf
hits them. A member of the Cham-
ber of Deputies went to jail for a
year, all the influence of his friends,
could not save him. He struck a
child. B. Forman, of Rochester,
N. Y., can tell you of a French
chauffeur accused of intoxication,
sent to jail for ten years. He killed
a child. Mr. Fonnlp saw the thing
happen.
Here in Kansas you see great trac
tors providing power, machinery edi
ting and bindit^ corn, great engines
binding, threshing wheat, and tying
the grain in sacks, all in one oper
ation.
In France occasionally you would
see a peasant and his wife cutting 1
their pram with sickles in vnul! firMs
irregular shape. • Fields were har
vested with scythes. Here and there
teams of horses drew mowing ma
chines. Power driven agricultural
machinery ‘was not seen between
Paris and Lejard. —

BROWN A BUSH
Where mowers had passed you
might see old grandmother and Wr
little grandchild bending over, pick
ing up wisps of grain with the right
hand, putting (hem in aprons held by
die left hand.
A hundred such gleaners were seen
irt a day’s drive. They were less
fortunate than Ruth, tiieir gleanings
meagre There was no Boaz to com
mand his young men, saying, M Let her
glean even among the sheaves and
reproach her not: and let fall also
some of the handfuls on purpose for
her and leave them that >he may
glean them, but rebuke her not.”
With hand rakes the old grand
mother and the little girl could have
gathered all the gleanings in-a short
time, but that evidently was not al
lowed. Gleaning must be done by
hand, the old body must stoop, and
ctoop all day long to pick up stray
straws. When the grain had gone
from the field an old sheoherd would
bring his little band of sheep. These
would walk through the stubble eat
ing the over-ripe grain that had fallen
(From the ears. Other bands of sheep
led by an old man or woman with
dogs tn help, ate the grass along the
kighsv;* - edge. No sheep ever strayed
onto the road before the automobiles.
Dogs prevented that, and the sheep
seemed trained. Beautiful animals,
admirably kept, they waste nothing in
France.

Once “La Gabelle,” a heavy tax
on salt, dressed the mistresses of
French kings and made life easy for
three lucky classes, royalty, clergy
and nobility. It was death to the
peasant to escape “La' Gabelle” by
taking his salt from the ocean.
Conditions are better now.. The
kings are sleeping in St Denis, the
few whose bones were not scattered
during the Revolution. There are
more schools than chateaux, tno.re
public libraries t than galjpws. The
peasant is no longer forbidden to. kill
animals that ate his crops because
lords and ladies wanted tho pleasure
of riding over those crops to kill the
animals themselves.

Delco-Light
Oil
Ogrates from battery on small loads. Automatically
switches to power for heavier service. Uses smaller
battery—thus costs less. Requires less fuel Demands
practically no attention This amazing achievement
the result of 15 years’ research by Delco-Light en
gineers. Approved by General Motors after 7 years
of gruelling field tests.
Now comes a new type Delco-Light
Plant that astounds even those
scientists and engineers who are in
dail^ contact with the epoch-making
achievements of electrical science.
When you see this amazing Delco-
Light Plant, you will agree that it
is a decade ahead of everything
heretofore conceived by any manu
facturer of farm electric plants.
Write—or ’phone—and get full in
formation about this new achieve
ment of Delco-Light and General
Motors. Or call on me personally
and sec the evidence with your own
eyes. And remember—if this new
est model doesn't exactly suit vour
needs, there are many other Plants
to choose from, now priced as low
as $225- Don’t wait. Write or
