o ;? y Arthur Brisbane KANSAS AND FRANCE * ? The Difference ? ' > On either side of the Santa F"e 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 oeau in his little cottage on the At lantic at Lejard, 1 not' far from Bordeaux. Thp trip through France, made in ?p automobile, was as rapid as this trff by train. In France you drive nut automobile as fast as you like, Mt TAKE CARE YOU HURT NOBODY. French roads are wide and straight, tbe car used by this writer came from Mice to Paris, 900 kilometers, 540 flliles, in one 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 law 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 tor ten years. He killed a child. Mr. Forman saw the thing happen. , Here in Kansas you see great trac tors providing power, machinery cut ting and'binding corn, great engines binding, jthreshirig wheat, and tying the grain in sacks, all in one eper af-wi. in France occasionally you would see a peasant and his wife cutting , their grain with sicklcs in small fields of 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. .0 ? Where mowers had passed you might see old grandmother and her little grandchild bending over pick in<r n?> w?--" ' " *- ' ?' 1" ? ' , the left hancl. ? A hundred such gleaners were seen ! in a day's drive. They were less fortunate than Ruth, their gleanings meagre. There waj no Boaz to com mand his young men, saying, "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 she may glepn them, but rebuke her not." With hand rakes the old grand mother and the little girl could hare gathered all the gleanings in a short uSTie, but that evidently was not al lowed. Gleaning ijiust be done by hand, the old body must stoop, and stoop all day long to pick up stray straws. When the grain had gone from the field an old shepherd 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 4n old man or woman with dogs to help, ate the grass along the highway edge. No sheep eyer strayed onto the road before the automobiles. Dogs prevented that, and the sheep seemed trained. Beautiful animals, admirably kepi , they waste nothing in France. c' . . ^ < 1 Here in rich America you ride miles through unending fields of corn or gcain, pass great herds of heavy steers, deep in grass and tens of thousands of kcres not used. In France they use every foot of ground, waste nothing, not food or human labor, men and women work long hours, v-Srk hard with patience.' ? The peasants' houses are beautiful and old, their animals well cared for. Along the coast of Brittany and the Vendee, men and women and chil dren work side by side. Men repair, at low tide, their fish nets colored light blue. The fishermen say "fish, like color." On the flat lands you see Jr^tle mounds of salt taken from the ocean by imprisoning waters in shallow pools for evaporation. 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 occan. Conditions are better now. The Icings are sleeping in St. Denis, the few whose bones were not scattered during the Revolution. There are more schools than chateaux, more public libraries than gallows. The peasant is no longer forbidden to kill animals that ate his crops because lords and ladies wanted the pleasure of riding over those crops to kill the animals themselves. But in every French family there in mourning. Each earncrt hard *" ' 'vo nari tells r^n how i 'Vr; he fcj 1 "kft." Money To Loan Town and suburban property.
