IRISH REPUBLIC
~ w1TH1Nlrwo YEARS

LONDON, Sept. 6.-Darrell Figgs,
one of the prominent Sim Feiners
lately released from prison. said in
a speech at Killaloe, Ireland, that
steps to achieve Irish independence
were being thought out and that the
full policy would be disclosed at the
proper time. Meantime, he said, the
Sim Feiners would not be idle. They
would appoint constituent assem-
bly, and appeal to the peace confer
ence, at which England would not be
the best loved of conferees. If the ma
ton rallied they would see sovereign
Irish republic within two years.

be, is likely to be called upon to swim,
ride horseback, drive a team or auto

any time.
Accidents sometimes happen, as, in
the case of Mary Fuller's ride on a
bucking broncho. Luckily she escaped
with nothing more than sprained
back.
Blanche Sweet has had some mar

com plished, but the actress was laid
up for several days with sprained
wrist and many bruises. At another
time she drove a two horse prairie
schooner over some of the toughest
country in California. When the drive
was over Miss Sweets hands were a
mass of cuts on account of the strong
pulling of the horses and the rough
lines.
Helen Holmes, who is familiar to

"Plant Gardens And Help Win The
War"
WAR has now made the planting
of food gardens an imperative obliga-
ton upon every American citizen who
has access to land, no matter how re-
stricted its area. The man, woman or
child who allows any soil fertility or
available labor o.go to waste this year
deserves the opprobrium that goes
to the military Stacker. We are, per-
haps, approaching the time when We
must adopt meatless days either vol
unfairly or by government fiat. Let us
see to it that the food substitutes for
meat are produced independently of
farms by the great host of home gar
deners. Because it is late in the sea-
son, do not neglect to plant garden
for that reason; prolific gardens may
be seeded until July. Plant a garden
now and help win the war.
The planting of millions of food
gardens, making vegetables f. o.. B.

to the food problem confronting the

Peck on this emergency war work
which he has inaugurated he said:
1.-THE National Emergency Food
Garden Commission aims to assist in
making food more plentiful in villages,
towns and cities by inspiring the plant
ing of food gardens this year. This
is measure of economic prepared
ness of vital Importance. It will re-
lease, in case of military necessity, the
use of thousands of trains otherwise
required to carry food; 1t will relieve
transportation difficulties which even
now cause deficiency in food sup
plies; it will reduce the high cost Of
living.
Hundreds of thousands OF indi-
viduaIs and thousands of organizations
would raise vegetables in home gar
dens, school gardens and vacant lots
if they were aroused and il they knew
how. The National Emergency Food
Garden Commission will arouse them
and tell them how.

European nations cannot supply

buying depletes our own supply. Crops
were short last year and the year be-

He found. further. that the food
supply of the nation was dwindling,
that prices for the necessities Of life
were soaring daily; that the war
threatened still higher attitudes, and
that the products of the farm and the
stock from the ranches would be re-
quired for the fighting men in this
and other countries.
It was because of the magnitude of
the problem that Mr.. Pack made the
successful effort to secure as members
of his commission men foremost in
every line of thought and action touch
ing the great question of the nations
food supply. The Commission imme-
diately following organization took up
the work of spreading the gospel of
food preparedness.
