In addition to the value of the plots

the 700 or more plots under the di-
rection of the School Board vege-
tables to the value of $4,000. These
plots were supervised by five of the
school principals.
There were also some excellent re-
suits of the experimental farming by
the children of the Children's Indus
trial Home. These farmed an acre of
ground and raised a considerable
quantity of vegetables. There We're

the city in the raising of produce
and in the conservation of food pro-
ducts. 1t would probably astonish
many to know that more than S10,-
600 worth of garden truck has been
raised on the garden plots of Har-
risburg during the present season.
The committee of agriculture of
the Chamber of Commerce, with
Donald Mccormick as chairman, en-
tendent of the garden plots and the
results have been remarkable. These
plots have surpassed all eXpecta-
tions. a very conservative figure of
the money value of vegetables grown
by the gardeners is $500. The larg-
est crop was about 700 bushels of
potatoes, the next beans, 75 bushels,
the next tomatoes, 60 bushels, and
numerous other vegetables. Mr..
Watts said to-day: The reason l
state they surpassed our eXpecta-
tions is due to the fact that this was
an experimental year. Seventy per
cent. of the people who have garden
plots never tried the raising of Vege-
tables before. OF course, there were
some few failures, but the per cent
age is very low when you take into
consideration the number of be-
ginners, and the number of requests
which have been received for plots
for next year only proves that they
found the gardens interesting as well
as financially beneficial.

PRESIDENT TO
VISIT WAR CAMP
Wilson Will Motor From Cap

in Action

Camp Meade, Admiral. Md, Sept.
27.-Woodrow Wilson. commander
in-chief of the Army and Navy of the
United States, is expected at Camp
Meade on Saturday to take a look at
his boys from Pennsylvania, Mary
land and the District of Colum bia.
The President, as unofficial report
has it, will motor from the White
House during the afternoon, accom-
panied by Mrs. Wilson and several
dignitaries of the War Department.
None of the exact details is known,
and nothing official has been pro-
mulSated about the expected visit.
Maryland and the District of Co.
lumbia sent their IS. Nj. s" to-day to
join the thousands of selected men
from Pennsylvania already on the
job. These fresh pilgrims saw the
Keystone Staters" trudging along
through the dust. some in regular rig
and others in quasi military attire.
The PennsylVanians gave a royal well
come to the strangers. and took out
notch or two to make a deep i'm
preston on the visitors.

grasped the youngster warmly by the
hand and said II bid you welcome

man to arrive
Thank YOU" replied the blushing
Bannwart. Il am glad to come here
and fight for my country"
Kuhn slapped him on the back
heartily and said: That's the stuff.
that's the stuff! Keep that spirit and
you'll make a fine soldier
Many of the young Philadelphians
are strutting around with laurels on
their brows and handkerchiefs on
their arms. These fellows are the
new noncommissioned sergeants and
corporals of the IS. MS, and they
will hold their positions as long as
they can fill the bill.
Every evidence that the COM
mander is taking no chances with

hand. Huge heaps of cord wood are
being strewn about the regimental
blocks. while tons of hay to stuff the
mattresses are being delivered by the
auto trucks.

COL. HOUSE TO
PLAN US. PART
AT PEACE MEET
Adviser to President Wilson
Picked For Important
Diplomatic Work

Washington, Sept. 27.-As is well
known, both France and Great Brit
ain have for some time been making
active preparations in their own be-
half for the peace conference. MANY
letters corroborating this fact have
been received in important quarters
III America during the last few
months. 1t may safely be assumed
that other, and perhaps all, of the
helligerent governments in Europe
are making their own preparations
for the peace conference. OF course
there is nothing in these activities
Incompatible with the heartiest pos
sible support of the war.
Thus there has lately been felt to
be growing need in America for a
series of similar activities, unless we
were to go greatly handicapped in to
the peace conference when it came.
In quarters where this need has been
duly appreciated the knowledge that
President Wilson has requested
Colonel Il. NJ House to organize and
direct American activities in this field
meets with the most unqualified ap-
proval.
1t would be altogether erroneous.
however, to attach unwonted sig
niticance to the fact that America is
ABOUT TO make definite preparations
in her own behalf for the peace CON
ference. Such a step on the part of
America would not be a step in the
direction of peace and could not be
properly interpreted as having the
slightest bearing upon the possible
date of the peace conference. 1t GER
tainly would not mean that peace
was imminent or that America had
determined to try to bring about a
peace by negotiation.
Natural Choice
The choice of Colonel e. NJ. House
to head this important mission for
America is a natural and logical one.
In such position he would be only
enlarging and extending the activi-
ties which he has pursued in COM
rarative obscurity during the last
| few years.
The bulk of his labors as an un-
ctficial diplomat, his contributions to
the cause of international enlighten-
mont, his grasp of all the strings
leading to the various European capt.
| tails, as well as his gathering prestige
| in governmental circles throughout
the world, have all. according to re-
! port in official and diplomatic circles.

Chamber of Commerce was about
$1,700, but the plans for next year
will probably involve an expenditure
of $4,000. Mr.. Watts stated to-day
that 1t is the purpose to plow and
fertilize a number of the larger plots
this fall, if possible. 1t is his hope
that he may be given supervision and
control of all the planting next year.
He suggests that the children and
all who are interested in this vacant
lot gardening raise in boxes at their
homes from seed, tomatoes, cabbage
and other plants for early setting out
in the spring. This would mean u
gain next year in the early crops of
a month or two and the later crops
could then be planted, thus increas-
ing the yield. Seed potatoes will he
high and it is the purpose of the
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce to purchase a sufficient guam
It'll this fall so that the seed may be
sold to the gardeners next year at
cost.
While no official action has yet
been taken by the Chamber of Com
berce regarding its agricultural ac-
tiVities newt year there Is no doubt
on this score inasmuch as the need
will be even greater for activity in
this direction than was the case this
year.
Extra food worth 100000, 900 has
been created by the garden move
ment. Explanation and appeal to
the nation, without other influence,
did this.
