Governor Is Arousing
People to Importance of
Planting Food Gardens

Governor Brumbaugh is arousing
the people to the Importance of
planting everything and anything
which will increase the food supply.
His latest proclamation asking hotel
and restaurant managers to save
the eyes of potatoes for distribution
to the people who wish to plant their
backwards and vacant lots is a prac-
teal appeal. Seed potatoes are
scarce and the governors experience
as a farmer gives him the right to
point out how the situation can be
improved through cooperation of
the hotel and restaurant people.
All over Harrisburg vacant lots
are being plowed and prepared for
seeding and while they may not
be so attractive in some respects
as flower areas, they will appeal
quite as much to the people this
year.

France Has Big Problem
in Finding Means to
Get Coal Across Atlantic

Washington, May 5. - Means for
transporting American coal to
France and thus releasing for other
service ships used to carry it from
England. is one of the most pressing
problems laid before American gov
ernment officials by members of the
French and British commissions
here.
The question has caused the Coun-
Gil of National Defense to consider
establishing more direct government
control over the coal industry and
the subject is being investigated by
F. S. Peabody, of Chicago, for the
Council.
France has large contracts for sup
plies in the United States which can
not be transported across the ocean
because of the lack of shipping and
railroad facilities. The suggestion
has been made that the American
government so control transportation
in this country that goods urgently
needed by the entente allies can be
transported to the Atlantic seaboard
more promply.
