TELLS CITIZENS TOCAN
THEIR GARDEN OUTPUT
Filled Pantry Shelves Ito Look
Pretty Good" Next January,
Says Mr.. Nesbit.

"A pantry full of canned goods is
going to look pretty good by next jan
uary."
So said Charles F. Nesbit, superin-
tendent of insurance of the District.
speaking last night before the Midcity
Citizens Association. He discussed the
conditions which have been working to
curtail farm production. insisting that
it has been due largely to the move
ment from the farm to the city. and of
the negro from the southern farm in
the immigration of negro labor north
ward.
The farmer he said, is not to be
awakened to the crying need for food.
He hears the talk of shortage of crops,
but will not believe or heed. declaring
that the demand to plant more pota-
toes is the same old talk that has cost
him so much in overproduction with
out a market.

Numbers of Tribes.

Ell Arish is thirty miles from the from
tiers of Syria. as fixed by the Turco-E gyp-
ton agreement of 1895. AS in the days of
Israers wanderings across the wilder
ness, the country around FL Arish is in
habited by a number of tribes, living in
dependently of each other and knowing
no overload. 1t is strange how few viii
lagos are scattered along the green track
between FL Arish and the Egyptian from
tier. 1t is cultivated in primitive fash
ion by Bedouins. who have no settled
home. but who wander about with their
goatskin tents as fancy or necessity takes
them. Since the coming of the stranger
they have gone far afield and left their
farms to the guardianship of the advanc-
ing British forces.
Just over the Syrian border the advance
began to pass through towns of more
formal character. Thirty miles northwest
is GAIA. the third city of Palestine. From
Ell Arish to GAIA will be a populous coun-
tryside before long. The Bedouins are
the successors of the robber Philistines
and have thus far held up the develop
ment of a fertile country. but strong
ruling power will curb them, as did David
and Solomon in their time.

Firm on holy Land Soil.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
WITH BRITISH FORCES IN PALES-
TINE, April 1T is over two months
since the British troops entered FL
Arish. which geographically and his
torically is the gate of Palestine and
the continuation of the advance has
now put them firmly on the soil of the
Holy Land.
Progress from the sands of the desert
to the sown land was gradual and was
marked by three separate stages. The
first ended at El-Burg, bringing the
troops to the region of grass After
year of yellow sand the green vistas
were soothing and refreshing to the
eyes, especially with the relief afforded
by the Tamarisk trees rising between
the sand dunes. The second stage was
from El-Burg to Sheik-Zoweid, marking
the transition from the green meadows
to a land of barley fields.
Sheik- Zoweid is mud village, but
boasts a fruitful orchard with cactus
hedge. such as surrounds every place
of fruitfulness in Palestine. The or
chard's blossoms were a joy to the eyes
of thousands of men who had seen no
sign of spring for two years past.

Hope in City Gardens.

The city garden movement, said Mr..
Nesbit, has taken hold in nearly every
city. In Washington more than 1000,
perhaps 1900, gardens will be planted,
he estimated. But he was certain that
the course of the year would develop a
great lack of foodstuffs.
A committee was appointed to inves-
tigate and plan some method of dis
tribution of the production of city gar
dens. The committee consists of A. j.
Driscoll. president; Charles f. Shreve,
president of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, a member of the Midcity
Citizens Association, and John Shu-
grue. The sum of SIS was voted to the
Central Garden Association.
Several of the members, at the in
stance of Mr.. Shreve. signed applica
lions to join the home guard. Mr.,
Shreve explained the plan. The or
ganization voted SIS for the expenses of
the home guard movement
Street Improvements Urged.
The resurfacing of Georgia avenue
from Florida avenue to Euclid street
was urged upon the Commissioners in
resolutions adopted. Another resolu-
ton asked for the opening of a thor
oughfare, or w street, as an outlet
from the base ball park to relieve con-
gestion.
Complaint was made by John r. Gallo
way of the condition of street be-
tween 9Th and 10th streets, in regard to
the obnoxious condition of coal yard
and vacant lots adjoining. A resolution
invited the attention of the authorities
of the District of Columbia to the neces-
sity of the property being cleaned up.
Again the organization went on record
as in favor of free text books for the
nigh schools. A request was directed
to the telephone corporation asking it
10 designate receiving Offices where
bills due it may be paid, and a saving
of postage made.
In view of the failure of prosecution
of milk dealers thes quality of whose
milk has been under suspicion, the law
and legislation committee was asked to
consider the situation in the interest Of
pure milk.

Third Stage of Transition.

The third stage of the transition was
from Sheik -Zoweid to Rata and marked
entry into the country of wheat. The
grass was no longer found in patches,
but stretching away in undulating
plains, like the downs of Sussex and
Hampshire in England. Even the horses
show liveliness as they breathe the
flower-scented air. The undulating
plains. covered here with green grass,
there with waving barley. are bounded
on the one side by the golden dunes,
the last ramparts of the desert that
fringes the coast, and on the other
by the blue hills that run in an I'M
broken line through Judea and Samaria
to Galilee and the mountains of Leb-
anon.
With the passing of Rata the British
army began the English occupation of
Palestine and opened a new era in
the history of the east Early in Janu-
airy bold cavalry dash drove the
Turks out of their last port in Egyp-
ton territory. Ell Arish was turned
into a big railway depot. and today for
the first time railway line runs di-
rect from Africa into

KINDNESS APPRECIATED

The Commercial club is in receipt
of the following letter from Major
Paul H. Weyrauch, of the First Wash
ington Field Artillery:
Kennewick Commercial Club,
Kennewick, Wash.
Dear Friends:
The members of this Battalion
greatly appreciate the courtesy and
kindness extended by you during
our stay at Walla Walla. Your as
sistance has added materially to the
comfort of the men of this COM
mand and you may rest assured that
your kindness will long be remem-
bered.
Kindly accept this short note as
a token of our sincere appreciation.
Respectfully yours,

Major LIST Bn., Wash. Fld. Arty.

there is reason for this. In the reg
ular barracks the dishes are washed
by helpers in the kitchen, so dish tow
els are of no consequence to the men.
However, in the field or camp of this
kind each man takes care of his own
mess kit, so the dishtowel now plays
an important role-in fact is practic-
ally necessity.
But the securing of them is entirely
up to the men. During the. last few
months we have been supplied by the
Red Cross societies of Seattle and Ia
coma and by various individuals thru
out the states of Washington and Ore
gon, who have more than done their
part in this work. However, since the
new army has come in, it is impossible
for them to meet the enormous de-
mand, and our supply is now complet-
ly exhausted. We will also require

SOLDIER BOYS ARE IN
NEED OF DISH TOWELS
Sergeant at American Lake Explains
Urgent Need of Plain Every
Day Kitchen Articles

The Horticulture club of this city
has undertaken to help supply the boys
at Camp Lewis with dish towels. All
persons who wish to assist in this
work are requested to leave any used
cloth suitable for making dish towels
with Mrs. S. M. Henderson, together
with postage stamps to cover postage
and they will be made up by the club
and forwarded to American Lake.
At first hand the matter of furnish
ing dish towels seems rather trivial
compared with some of the other needs
of the soldier boys, but that there is
an urgent need for just ordinary dish
towels is shown by the following let
ter from o quartermaster sergeant at
Camp Lewis:
Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wn.,
ITO the editor)-Am writing to you
in the effort to get in touch with such
persons as would be interested in do
ing something for the boys at this
cantonment in way that would reach
and be appreciated by all of them.
Most people would never classify
dish towels in the list of company's
necessities, but nevertheless they are
used probably more than any other ar
ticle outside of the regular army
equipment. In fact, they are thing
that is used by each and every man in
the camp.
Now, these are not issued to the
companies by the government, strange
as it may appear at first thought. But
