cHILDREN's GARDENS

The child garden movement that
has been started in so many places
was for time something Of joke.
The children may have planted the
vegetables and flowers. But the par
ents bought the fertilizer, had the
ground spaded up, and were apt to
do most of the wedding. Afterward
they we're supposed to pay the young.
sters for the vegetables thus produc-
ed.
Long lists of prizes awarded to the
children for garden work are now APP
pearing in many of the newspapers.
One such list now at hand names
one child of four as receiving a prize
for several varieties Of flowers.
An agricultural college expert a
few days ago went through the chill
dren's gardens in a town of some
1000 people. He gave hasty glance
to perhaps half the plots, and remark
ed that those he had seen contained
products worth at least $1,000. Evi.
IDENTIFY when the fall harvest is COM
pleted, these youngsters had added
several thousand dollars to the wealth
of that town. 1t was done out of
time previously spent at aimless
plays. 1t is joke no longer.
The American boy is not trained
to work. He resents regular tasks
If compelled to hoe up weeds while
hearing the yells of the neighborhood
boys over in a back lot, his soul re-
volts at the gross injustice of the
world, and the heartless cruelty of
parents.
But the modern American child is
a pretty mature little creature. He
is perfectly capable of raising a prof
table garden If he wants to. There
are good many boys today taking
cattle show and county fair and
school prizes for amounts of vegeta-
bles raised the past summer running
up into the hundreds of dollars.
The garden movement has made a
much better progress since the gov
eminent and state experts conceived
the idea of organizing the youngsters
into clubs. A boy does what his gang
does. If his mates decide that rails
ing the biggest pumpkin is just as
good fun as knocking the longest
three Dagger he wants to take q
hand in the game.

A NATIONAL SEA
POLICY

There has never been anything
more intellectually pitiable than the
state of mind of certain people who
have opposed the consistent policy OF
two new battleships a year, While
willing to compromise on one ship
their motive being that they did not
like the navy and did not really want
any ships! The navy is an intolerable
burden and expense, unless 1t Is
useful and valuable kind Of insurance
of our national peace and dignity, and
unless 1t is positive help to us In

to be a beneficent international poll

1t is ridiculous for a nation of our
great population and vast resources
not to invent and build the best pos

all. And the same principles applies
to battleships and other members

The farmers Of that section of the
country have been denied the use OF

it is the wish of property owners
along this thoroughfare to assure the
farmers that they can travel it in

that is impossible under existing cir

residents of the state, a restraining
order could be asked for in the fed
eral court to restrain the corporation
commission and the conservation Of
tiCer from enforcing the restrictions
made by the state law of February H.
Producers were arranging to call the
hand of the Crosbie interests by build
ing receiving tanks at the Crosbie
station and by building a three-inch
line from the McMan property. This
work has ceased and Mr.. Clark of
the McMan company has gone away
from the field and it is probable that
he has gone to obtain instructions
from his company. The McMan peo-
pie have 100000 barrels of empty
storage and if neighbors continue to
make oil runs the McMan people will
begin to put oil in storage. The
Gunsburg-Forman people say they are
willing to pro rate oil runs but they
want all producers to run their lines
to the Crosbie station. Many produc-
ers cannot afford to do this for the
runs they would be entitled to. There
are those who believe the Gunsburg-
Forman proposition was not made in
good faith, but was made either to
delay or to defeat pro rata runs. If
oil offered the Crosbie line is refused
the state will attempt to enforce the
law, and the fight is on. If McMan
begins to put oil in steel the state
will resist and the fight will start. It
is reasonable to presume that there
will be LITIGATION soon that will test
the power of the corporation commits
sin.

HELP GATHER
THE COUNTY
EXHIBIT NOW
SECRETARY OF CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE REQUESTS EVERY
FARMER TO GIVE CHOICEST
SPECIMENS.

The secretary of the Chamber OF
Commerce requests that every farmer
in the county who is interested in the
county exhibit for the state fair to
bring their choice specimens to the
Chamber of Commerce rooms where
they may be classified and placed in
shape for the state fair. He states
that nothing is barred. Everything
from the farm garden or orchard has
a place and those contributing will
be given proper credit and will be
doing a service to their county.
The merchants and business men
of the city will raise the necessary
funds to take the exhibit to the state
fair, as no funds will be available
from the county this year.
The secretary has already com
pleted his collection of wheat, oats,
rye and barley in the shock. He has
yet to secure some threshed grain for
jar exhibits. He has also secured
some exceptionally fine alfalfa, which
he says is better than any shown pre-
viously.
The county is especially rich in
feed crops this year and everyone is
invited to bring their best for the
county exhibit.

NJ WIRELESS MESSAGES
 ARE RECEIVED ON LAND

GENEVA, Jan, 7-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-A Swiss officer who spends most of the year in an Alpine fortress says that wire less telegraphy is not being employed on land.
 ''In peace" he says, i've are con stantly receiving wirless messages in the Alps, from liners in the Atlantic, and at the beginning of the war we received Qnvomntairy) many military messages in cipher, both from Ger many and France. But they have stopped. The armies have found that wireless messages are too dangerous and they have been replaced by the field telephone at the front"
The Cordova daily times., 1915-01-20

Right ahead of me there was an open stretch of snow and I had been watching the hligrees thrown upon it by the moon as its beams broke through the branches of the tall beech es and oaks, when a long. black shadow appeared from the right.
 "The next instant three Cossacks entered the clearing. Their horses were small and shaggy and white, and the men seem to hang in the saddles rather than sit in them. They were wrapped in thick furs. The bright moonlight showed they were Asiatics- broad faces with strong chins, promi- nent cheekbones and long black boards with the frost clinging to the hair.
 "A sign from me and my men were on their feet-another moment and the Cossacks were off their horses. They were a most surprised lot. Abject terror stood in their eyes and they had difficulty understanding that we were no evil spirits of the forest.
 "The Cossacks had hardly been taken to the rear by one of the men. when the vigorous tramp of Russian was heard. Back under the bramble bush. Twenty yards away from us the Russians marched past"
 The writer then recounts how the ski patrol followed the Russians into a village. Later in the night he was able to get in touch with the com mander of a German contingent, which occupied quarry on the other side of the village. Towards morning he also discovered how the Russians, who had taken the village, could be outfanked With dawn everybody was in his place and fire was opened The Russians were forced to retreat in disorder, leaving behind many killed and wound ed in addition to prisoners.
 We are known as the white ray ens,'" concludes the account.
