Former Vacant Lots
Now Feeding Britain
Townsmen Grow Country
Rations on Waste Lands
Near Their Homes

Washington, May $. What Great
Britain is doing on farms and in the
homes TO meet the German threat Of
starvation was outlined to-day by II. d.
Vigor. an expert Of ;Le British Agri-
cultural Board, who is attached to the
war commission now in Washington.
Early in the war. Mr.. Nigor said, the
British Minister of Agriculture began
to organize the department to stimulate
food production IN every way and to
encourage both farmers and town
jewellers to greater energy 20 meet the
threatened food shortage. Hundreds of
American steam ploughs were imported
and set TO work on the farms and wom-
en- and girls took the places of men.
The townsmen turned their energies
to the waste and unoccupied lands
around the towns and in vacant lots.
A system Of allotments was inaugural
ed by which the owners of such lands
permitted it to be worked at a nominal
fee. Mr.. Vigor said it was safe to say
that these lots would produce all Of the
vegetables needed to feed England,
save potatoes.

My Experience in Vaccination

When | came to school Monday
morning, | heard that the children
had to be vaccinated. When | got
home last evening papa took me to
the doctor. We did not have to
wait long before the doctor was
ready for us.
After l sat down, he took little
sharp thing about the size of a
tooth out of comb, and scratch
ed my left arm till it bled. Then
he took a little bottle that had
medicine in it and put drop on
the place where he scratched my
arm. He took cloth and some
sticky paper and wrapped it up. 1t
did not hurt as much as | thought
it would. ! would rather be vac
cinated two times than have one
tooth pulled.-Harriett Hunt, 6B

THE STORY OF THE FLAG

ms UOyS Ol COiuHlDld Clty were
having great fun in the trenches
OF the French. Little did they know
OF the danger to them and their
flag that the scholars of the schools
of Columbia City had given them
six months ago
1t was a cloudy night and every
once in while q star shell would
burst nearby and light up the
trench for way then it would 60
out and leave them in darkness
again.
The sharp crack of the outpost 5
guns were heard family and the sol.
diers thought nothing of it, All at
once the Outposts came running in
and cried, "The Germans are on US!
To arms!"
They grasped their arms, but too
late. They had about time enough
to fire a couple shots and the Ger
mans jumped among them in over
whelming numbers.
: The Americans retreated to the
next trench and stopped the enemy
there.
All at once one of the soldiers
cried out In dispair: 1--WE have
lost our flog!"
Some one must secure It," the
Captain cried. who will volun-
teer?"
A dozen hands were raised and
the Captain said: Lieutenant,
chose six men and get the flag"
The lieutenant saluted and took
six OF the best men and crawled
out of the trench. Out of sight of
the trenches the lieutenant told
three men to go one way and him
self and the other three would 60
the other way. After proceeding
for about twenty yards, he sepa-
rated from the other three and
went straight ahead.
He crawled along in caution and
IN constant fear of star shells.
After ten more yards he got into
star shells and the going was more
difficult. When he was ten yards
from the enemy's trench the
dreaded thing happened, A star
shell burst right over his head.
He lay perfectly still, for il the
German sharpshooters saw him
they would shoot at him. 1t seem
ed as il it was an hour before it
went out. At last it was dark
again. He crawled silently until
he came up to side of the trench.
Now he crawled inch by inch, till
he could see the place where the
tag was. Just two feet from the
flag he heard voices. He scarcely
breathed and once he could of
reached out and touched the lef of
a German. At last he got the flag
ana put it in his shirt front. He
retreated much faster and with
good luck reached his trench in a
TOW moments. The others had not
returned and pere probably cap.
tured. The lieutenant had over
heard a German tell another that
they we're safe for tonight SO the
captain gave the order to advance
at once.
They went silently forward for
twenty yards and with shout
rushed forward and with q hand to
hand fight captured the trench and
many prisoners.
The flag was brought up and all
the soldiers cheered and the Ger
mans probably thought they were
still being followed.
The other six men were in the
trench and only one was wounded.
The others were very glad of this
and as only five men out of their
company had been killed and forty
five wounded it was considered a
great victory.
