W HELPS
MOVE FOR HOME GARDENS
Widespread Idea to Interest Children
Of the Country In Econom.
icaI Idea.

Any suggestion of introducing a
wider military training among
schools of this country is bound to
meet with opposition. But one move
which will be almost as useful in
time Of war is that being made by the
United States bureau of education to
make home-garden truck farmers of
the 100000 children who are now
in public schools in the United States.
OF course, the relation of such
movement to war probably was far
from the minds of those who have
been fostering the movement. 1t al
ready Is being worked out in many
cities. On the statement of DR.. G.
d. Jarvis, the specialist in charge Of
the governments home-gardening sur
vey, the relation this movement, if &C.
complished thoroughly, would bear to
war is strikingly shown. Doctor Jar
Wis estimates that if half the 10000 900
available school children were inter-
ested in the work the increase in food
supplies would amount to $50,000.000
annually This estimate is based upon
the supposition that $40 is the average
yield Of a garden, though figures show
that many such gardens can earn $25,
$50 and even 500 yearly.
What such a food supply would
mean to any European nation at this
time can easily be imagined IF war
called the young men from the farms
Of this nation, even for a brief time,
these school gardens would be invalu-
able in supplying food to cities which
otherwise might flpd themselves cut
off from ready supply.
Obviously the great benefit Of the
work undertaken by the bureau Of ed
ucation and its experts is planned for
times of peace. But in period when
many peaceful movements are viewed
from a war angle, this plan cannot es-
cape the attention Of those who be-
lieve preparedness is our best protec-
tion against foreign imbroglios.

Dry Prospects.

One hundred years of continuous
rainfall records have recently been
completed in New Bedford, Mass, and
serve to disprove thoroughly the com.
mon belief that the climate is not so
good as it used to be. Only half as
many dry periods occurred in the last
fifty years as in the first fifty years;
SO that the records really are a warn.
ing for that section at least, to expect
more dry periods in the next genera
tion The recent decades have been
fortunate above the average, and con.
sequently the next few decades are
quite likely to pay the bill.
The records were started In 1914 by
Samuel Rodman, and continued by him
until his death, in 1876. His son then
kept them until his death in 1905. For
more than ninetyone years the rain.
fall was carefully recorded for exactly
the same spot in the same yard. The
chief engineer OF the state health de-
partment has now completed the hun.
dred years of figures by obtaining the
late records from another observer In
New Bedford, taken few miles from
the Rodman place.
The average annual rainfall was
46.45 inches, but in the first fifty years
there were four very marked dry pc.
RODS of two or three years each. In
the last fifty years there were only
two such dry periods.-Saturday Eve.

COME TO RESCUE OF BRUIN
Threatened With Extinction, Brother
Bear Has Found That He Has
Some Friends.

Since the bear flag" days bruin has
been an accepted symbolic represen-
tative of the Golden state. He occu.
pies a place on it's great seal, and, in
deed, has become q sort of institution.
When he is not working at his more
dignified job he engages in picking up
acorns, acting as scavenger around
mountain camps and making an occa-
sional raid upon farms in the hills.
He has come to be known, in private
life, as rather amiable and lazy fell
low if undisturbed, and indeed it may
be claimed for him that he has host
of friends.
But bruin, in the wild, has come close
to the great divide. For many years
he has made sport for the hunter dur
ing the summer, and for the trapper at
all seasons. Nowadays there are not
very many of him. Extinction is inn
minent, He is about to 60 the way Of
many another distinguished brute.
A Siskiyou county legislator has
rushed to his relief with bill prohibit.
ing the killing of bears during the
summer and eliminating at all seasons
the trapping privilege. A like meas
ure, it is said, is finding its way into
numerous western legislatures, and is
being supported rather than opposed
by sportsmen. 1t is their hope that
bruin will be able to maintain his
place in the sun.-Los Angeles Ex.

Gardens for School Children.

There Is strong economic truth at
the bottom Of the garden movement,
and its value has been recognized
long ago in European countries, which
have brought about different forms of
development. Austria established ex-
perimental gardens in its rural schools
as far back as 1869. Switzerland, Ger
many and England have a garden
course in their public schools, while
France goes farther and maintains not
only flower and vegetable gardens, but
includes orchards, forestry and bee
industry. The garden movement Is
of special significance in cities where
large numbers of children are turned
out on the streets to loiter, tease and
maraud.
Perhaps the greatest value Of school
gardens is in teaching the child how
to make garden at home and en-
couraging it to do so. 1t is here that
we are to attain the real value of in
struction and make 1t pay. The child
can materially reduce the cost of liv-
ing by not only furnishing vegetables
during the summer but the surplus
can be stored for winter use. That
this can be done is no longer mat
ter of conjecture, but many examples
can be given in proof.-Mrs. Alex
Caldwell. in Southern Woman's Maga'
zine.

what is this signature, my dear?"
inquired Miss Lizzie. 'It looks like
Cop. Richard Barton"
The two ladies examined the sigma
ture carefully. "Why, it is his rank
corporal, of course" said Miss Mary.
"He must be quite respectable man,
to have been made a corporal. You
know they are very strict in the Eng

"Would-would it be proper, sister?"
asked the other.

then, the poor fellow may be shot"

Sandy Realized the Need Of insurance
When the "Fire Fiend" Got

as Sandy"

agents advances with ma, na!" fol-

The unexpected, however, happened.
and the neighbors were astonished to
see the old man, instead Of trying to
put out the fire. running up and down
the village street, shouting:

Electrical labor-saving devices form
one of the most interesting features Of

shown in this department is an all
electric house.
Many homes have been built and
adapted to use electricity in as many
ways as possible after construction,
but the house exhibited has had the
various features built in. Each room
is equipped with labor-saving devices
and electrically operated comforts. All
the kitchen machinery, from potato
peelers to the electric refrigerator, is
motor driven.
The dining room is arranged SO as
to show how light lunches can be pre-.
pared on electric chafing dishes and

is an electric workshop and a garage
equipped with battery recharging
device for the electric automobile.
