INCREASING FOOD SUPPLY

There is no other field of activit,
that offers 80 many attractions t.
the average American child as thai
of gardening. If the pupils in nil OF
our schools could be given, little
instruction in agriculture and nature
study with practical demonstration
in the management of school gardens
| it would not only prove beneficial ia
| the child but would increase to mo
little extent the supply of food stuffs
throughout the nation.
Let US offer the following sugges-
tion: Why not take this matter up
Ill your own school? AS teacher OF
principal, we appeal to you to pre-
| sent this matter to your children.
II they show interest. then endeavor
10 secure an acre or more available
Tor gardening as near your school
house as possible; have same plowed,
and then arrange for planting by the
children in standard food crops toma-
toes, beans, peas, sweet cor n,radishes,
lettuce, cabbage, turnips, carrots,
heets, onions, potatoes, etc. Any
good scotsman will help YOU select
the best varieties, and sufficient seed
TO plant an acre can be obtained for
y lew dollars. If the garden is care
FULLY tended and well cultivated, it
should produce several hundred dol
lars worth of products, and if every
school throughout the county can
succeed in interesting it's pupils along
this line it will provide intelligent
and Instructive work and recreation
during the summer while materially
increasing food production, which at
0f
to the nation.
With the garden might be in
cludcd small flock of thoroughbred
poultry, trio of Belgian hares and
trio of guinea pigs. The poultry
and hares will contribute not a little
to meat and egg supply; guinea pigs
are extremely lovable little pets, and
can be marketed at profit to any
OF the chemical laboratories and
large city hospitals. The care of
animals is Il great factor in building
character and in cultivating n kindly
disposition in child. I noted on n
recent trip to Florida that these plans
were being carried out i'm MANY
smaller cities and towns with very
satisfactory result.
Agriculture as n profession offers
better opportunities today than it
ever has in the history of our country.
We need more farmers. fruit growers,
vegetable growers and stock breeders
If we will inculcate in our children n
love for the country and its posi-
bilities, then there will be larger
tendency on their part to take up
these attractive vocations as they
grow into manhood and wom,nhood

LANDLORDS.

Land is by all odds the safest form
of investment and for this reason it
is the bank in which the aristocracy
generally deposits its funds. Every
nation can number among its citizens
some rich and powerful landlord
The Duke of Westminster, although
only thirty-seven, is the richest land
lord in England. His income is said to
be $4,000 a day, and is constantly
increasing.
Another wealthy English landlord
is the Duke of Bedford, whose yearly
income from his London property was
formerly S10.000,0O0. Fearing Lloyd
Georges new tax laws, he sold a
slice of nineteen acres, investing
S30.000,000 elsewhere.

BRITISH TRANSPORT SUNK

London, March 9.-The British
transport Mendi, carrying South
African native loborers, was sunk af-
ter collision on February 81, and
G25 persons lost their lives Ten of
tbs persons lost were Europeans, ac-
cording to the announcement made
today to the South African parlia-
meGt by General Louis Botha, the
premier. The collision occurred off
the Isle of Wight. The official an
nounccment says:
premier Botha stated to the South
African parliament today that the
transport Mendi, carrying the last
batch of the South African native
laborers contingent, (the rest of
whom were Landed safely in France)
collided with another vessel en- route
from England to Havre, and sank in
25 minutes. The collision occurred
off the Isle of Wight, February 81.
The escorts searchlight could not
penetrate the fog, but the survivors
were rescued by passing vessels.
Twelve European officers and 191
patives were saved. Ten Europeans
and 6l5 natives were lost
Difficulty in obtaining authentic
information caused the delay in max
ing the announcement public.
Premier Botha said that the rela-
tives of those natives who are pre-
sumed TO have been drowned would
be advised. He added that the mag
jstrates had been instructed to inform
The chiefs, head men and the people
SO that they might know the truth
and poi heed idle and mischievous
stories, which experience proved
might be circulated sedulously. The
imperial authorities he declared
would pay compensation to natural
Denefcaries."
The Mendi was British steamer
OF 1920 tons gross. built in 1905 and
owned by the British and African
Steam Navigation Company, Limited
of Liverpool (the Elder-Dempster
Company. The last entry in ship
ping records regarding her move
ments was on December 81, last,
