sixteen armed merchantmen fought submarines and
escaped while there twelve engagements between
French patrol boats and submarines and thirteen en-

Any gardener OF a small tract can
show ingenuity in devising means
for protecting his growing plants
against heat. cold and insects, says
today's bulletin from the national
emergency food garden commission
OF Washington. which is co-operat-
ing with this paper in encouraging
garden cultivation.
A gardener living near Washing
ton uses gas for lighting his house.
He utilized the empty carbide cans
for the benefit Of his young cucum-
Der, melon and other plants which
need protection in the spring. With
a can opener he cuts out the bottom
Of the can. and then cuts the can
in two with a diagonal cut in the
middle This makes a low protec-
tor the top of which slopes toward
the sun or away from the wind as
he chooses to turn IL. BY covering
the top with cheesecloth he keeps
off insects, while glass cover will
admit sunlight and exclude cold on
an unseasona bic day in spring. Small
bottomless, topless boxes built at
home serve the same purpose.
When lettuce and other cool
weather plants are attempted in the
summer they must often be shaded
from the whiting sunlight. Cheese
cloth will do this sufficiently. aid

Bounteous Dinner Served to Crowd
j and Speakers at Noon Hour.
Practically every farmer in Terrell
county is an attendant today at the
Farmers Institute being held at
Yeomans. Besides the discussion by
experts of problems now very close
to the farmer, bounteous barbecue
was served, which was no doubt the
predominating drawing card.
The largest crowd that ever at
tended barbecue in this section is
expected, and doubtless much good
to the entire section will result from
the gathering. All the banks and
practically every business house in
the county have closed their places

DAVIS MAKES A
STIRRING ADDRESS
ALBANY CITIZEN SPEAKS UN-
DER AUSPICES OF THE Lo-
CAL RED CROSS CHAPTER.

Mr. John A. Davis, of Albany,
spoke at the court house in Dawson
on Friday afternoon under the aus
pices of the local Red Cross chap
ter, and made an imprisoned plea
for that organization. He impressed
upon his hearers that we will soon
realize that we are in great war,
and our soldiers at the front will
need the services of the Red Cross,
and how necessary that there be
nurses, physicians and hospital sup
plies on the battlefield.
He explained how the Red Cross
carries on its work year in and year
out, whether the country it at war
or peace, showing, however, the much
greater need in time of war, and that
the American Red Cross had only
enough medicines, bandages and 9TH
er equipment at the beginning of the
present campaign to last but three
weeks. The Red Cross physicians and
nurses were given credit for this
great difference.
One of the strongest pleas in the
address was an appeal made by the
speaker in behalf of President Will
son, when he stated in three words
the call of the president, 81 need
you," which he followed with a de-
nunciation of Germanism and its mil
ftary practices and barbarisms.
Mr.. Davis closed with a word pict-
ure of Dawson and Terrell county
mothers, fathers, sisters and broth
ers reading the casualty list of the
boys who had gone from our home
community, which might have been
considerably reduced had all Terrell
county people responded as they
should have to the great cause of the
American Red Cross Association.
