HIS FIRST GARDEN.

Mr.. Lawson Fields has been keep
ing house for number of years but
never planted garden until last
spring and he is naturally gratified
over the success of his industry.
Meditating upon the results of his
efforts in tickling the earth with a
hoe his always smiling face grows
positively stern in wondering why
he never before attempted the use
of rakes and hoes as diversion from
compositors stick.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawson Fields live
on the side of Atlanta street that
slopes down to the railroad and have
trees scattered around but their
front lawn is given up to their two
small sons who have a sand pile and
many stones of which they build
forts and play at war.
The garden was down by the rail
road at first but extends now on each
side of the house toward the front.
One side has hedge of tall yellow
cannas as boundary between the
front and a patch of corn and beans
and on the other side are two mar
row sections of sweet potatoes and
whippoorwill peas and both are re.
freshingly green and luxuriant of
foliage. The potatoes are to grow
and mature in the ground at least
month yet and the peas can be
gathered at any time. Mr.. Fields has
planted white potatoes and turnips
twice and has nice tender greens
now. He counts twenty kinds of pro.
ducts from his garden but includes
peachtree which he did not plant
His most attractive vegetables are
the peppers which will be gorgeous
deed when the pepper pods ripen.
The delight of the little boys is their
patch of popcorn which is extremely
fruitful. The entire garden has
been very profitable and a source of
much pleasure to the family.
Mrs. Fields is born artist and
draws dainty pencil sketches beside
painting pictures and she has quite
fondness for japanese art. She
has a genuine "coolie" hat, the kind
we used to see in our primary Geo
graphies in pictures of the far east.
She also has two of the dwarfed ev-
ergreen trees from Japan that grow
in pots the size of a tea-cup and are
are only six inches tall. 1t is simply
uncanny to realize they are grown
trees.
The cultivation of a garden has
greatly improved Mr.. Fields in ev-
cry way, broadened his vision, sweet
ened his already sunny nature and
toned up his health. AL. C..

1 am proud of the way Dickinson
has responded to the presidents call
for men. l met Co. K at jamestown
while on my way home, and though
| had only y scant ten minutes to
spend with them, they were unanj-
nous in their joy at the thought, that
soon they will be called upon to aid
their allies and comrades in France or
some other battle front. Then upon
my arrival at Dickinson I was sur
priscd to find another company of
young men ready and impatient to
leave for the same goal that Co. K
was heading for. I had not heard of
North Dakota's second regiment, but
the surprise was a pleasant one,
nevertheless. I know that these two
companies will do credit to good old
Dickinson. Upon saying goodbye to
them, they all repeated that grand
message, Meet you in France"
Nothing in the world could possibly
please me more, than to be with these
same boys in some victorious charge.
I say victorious" because, surely they
will ever be that. They cannot lose,
for u cause is just.
Also the people in Dickinson are to
UC ploloSN, tOt ClIOuSIl lHdlly Tan never
be upon the battlefield with gun and
shell, still they have given up a num-
Der Of young men who will do the
fighting for all. They know that some
on must remain behind to fill their
former places in civil life. Then again
people seemed bent upon making my
short stay a very pleasant one, and I
assure you that they succeeded very
we'll, and know they did as much for
the boys in "Khaki."
I want to thank all who had nv
best interests at heart and those who
were instrumental in making nv visit
q pleasant one. l shall never forget
these kindnesses, and I know that all
the boys in both the navy and army
are with me in my thankfulness, for
any kindness shown to n man is a
true sign of patriotism. Many of the
men are wearing articles, such as
sweaters, scarfs and writslets, som of
which may have been knitted by
women in Dickinson, therefore my
thanks are felt by all of US. I would
like to write more but my leisure time
is almost over, so must close for the
present.

are who can pull off all kinds of
stunts. Circus clowns, bareback rid
ers, trapeze performers, ventriloquists
and slight Of hand jugglers galore. A
number of the officers have dist1n-
guished themselves in days gone In
athletics. "The greatest football cap
tain that West Point ever had" is the
title bestowed upon Maj. Charles D.
DAILY, commander of a battalion of the
338th Field Artillery. Major DAILY led
the army team in 1904. With such
an array of talent it is not likely
that there will be any, dull moments
when the men r off duty. Boxing is
to be featured by some of the
country's most noted pugilists. The
officers contend that boxing develops
alertness and that is a valuable asset
in war. Organization of a divisional
athletic council has been announced.
Under the provision each company
will designate one officer as athletic
officer. These in turn will name a
regimental board which will have a
supreme board with the physical di-
rectors of the Y. M. G.: A. and
knights of Columbus as members.
More Doctors Arrive
Forty-eight new medical men ar
rived at Camp Dodge Saturday and
reported to division headquarters for
assignment. They were ordered here
from Fort Riley, and are from among
physicians of the northwest, who were
sent there for training. These men
generally are of the rank of lieu
tenants and will be assigned to the
various units of the division at Camp
Dodge. Camp Dodge and Fl. Des

tors in the near future. Surgeon Cen

about half an hour, zigzagging
back and forth, Commander Vernon

U-Boat Forced to Submerge.
The destroyer remained under way
and continued searching for the SUBJ

boat exposed its coming tower long
enough for the Cassin to fire four
shots. Two fell SO close to the sub.

continued the search until dark and
then proceeded to port after being
joined by other British and American
patrol boats.

The following letter from Matthias
J.. Beres, one of Dickinson's boys at
the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton, will be read with interest by the
many friends of the Beres family:
Have finally found enough time to
write a letter to you, so will make
the most of it. l arrived here last
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and
was just in time to sign my name to
a draft, which will leave here this
coming Tuesday. I do not know as
yet, where we are bound for, as the
officials are somewhat chary when it
ONE to imparting information of
this sort, so we have to be content
with the fact that we leave for some
"Sea Port in American" probably to
go to e upon our arrival there. My
WI hopes are strongly in favor of
New York and eventually the subma-
rlne chasers or torpedo boats. These
boats are being turned out pretty fast
by the ship yards and afford good ac-
Communications in the way of quarters.
All the large battle ships are some
what crowded owing to the great
number Of men who must be trained
to take other boats as they are put
back into commission or finished and
launched by some ship yard. On a
small boat such as torpedo boat or
destroyer, men are on duty four days
and off duty four. Naturally it
means hard and tiresome work, espec,-
ally when in active service, but the
following four days of rest usually
compensate for the hard days. Be-
sides this, they are never crowded, be-
cause when in active service they need
all the speed possible, and owing to
their small size, few men are needed
to man them. That's why I would
like to be put on one of these for the
period of the war, at least, but Jul
hopes, alas, seldom realized, so I am
resigned to take whatever they have
n store for me. Usually it is best
for all of us in the end. Now that I
have been home and have seen all of
my friends, I do not mind going to
sea. In fact, I am aching to go. I
have had a full six months of train
ing and feel fit to take my place
among men who are doing their ut
most to overthrow the autocracy in
Germany.

The hundreds Of women who visit

Dodge have no comfort stations for
their entertainment. The Methodist
church is erecting a club house for
this purpose but it's capacity is linn

Camp Dodge that the women of North
and South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska
and Minnesota r busy with a cam
paign to raise $1,000 900 as their share
of the $4,000, 900 which has been voted
by the national board of the Y. w. C..
A. for a war fund. General Plummer
wrote to the Y. w. C. A. national
board, asking them to erect and take
charge of a hostess house within the
camp grounds. The board wired the
north central field committee with
their headquarters in Minneapolis to
take the responsibility. Accordingly
Miss Ada V. Starkweather, field econ
omic secretary, came to .Des Moines
to receive directions from General
Plummer. The result of the confer
ence was that the Y. w. C. A. will
erect n central building to be known
as the hostess house of the Y. w. C. A.
for the purpose of caring for wives,
mothers, sisters and sweethearts, who

conducted mass four times during the
morning. Special Representative
Knight w. J. Moriarity of New York
City, spent Wednesday with Raymond
Wright, local grand knight, studying
the needs of Camp Dodge, and they
jointly decided to erect two more
knights of Columbus buildings, MAX
ing a total of five in all. Father
c. P. O'Neal' of the Sacred Heart
church Of Rock Island, was secured TO
deliver the Columbus Day address,
