AMERICAN BOAT IS
SUNK BY U-CRAF7

Washington, Feb. 5.-The possibility
that the sinking of the American
steamer Housatonic will become a Sc
rious factor in the crisis with Ger
many apparently was eliminated by
evidence that the attacking submarine
acted within international law.
American Consul Stephens, at Ply
mouth, reported that warning was
given and provision made for safety
of the crew.
AS the Housatonic was carrying
contraband any controversy owe its
destruction is expected to present no
ore serious an issue than a claim
for monetary damages. If the con-
suls report is correct the case ap-
parently falls into the same category
as that Of the American ship William
P. Frye. destroyed with a cargo of
grain in the war by a raider after its
crew had been taken off.

ONE BUCK LAW REPEALED.
Game and Fish Bill Is Engrossed in
Assembly. Provides for Ten
Day Deer Season.

The assembly on Thursday en-
crossed the big fish and game bill
OF the session. One of the provis-
ions repeats the buck law enacted
at the 1915 session of the legisla-
ture. As the bill was engrossed in
the assembly, it provides for a deer
hunting season from November 81
to November so. Each person is
permitted to shoot one deer during
the season. In northern Wisconsin
the muskrat season closes April 20
and reopens November /. The bill
provides graduated license fee for
trappers based on the number of
traps. 1t reduces the bag limit for
bass or pike from fifteen to ten in
one day per individual.

Have a Backyard Garden.

The hoe in the BACKYARD is
mighty good backing for the flag
on the front porch.
Spade up the backward and put
in a garden.
There is still time and, if you
stay by it. You will be surprised to
find how much food you can raise
on a very small space. Besides
there never was a time when the
planting of garden was so i'm
portant. The world is short OF
food and each family should do its
part by growing as much as it can
of the supply which it will use
this summer and need next fall
and winter.
Thousands of town and city men
and women are already doing what
they can to overcome this shortage
They are growing just as many
vegetables as possible for winter
storage and canning, as we'll as for
summer use.
Foot for foot, gardens in city
or country WELD 10 to IS times
more abundantly than farm land
devoted to general crops The
gardener is an intensive farmer on
a small scale. A half acre easily
produces vegetables worth 500 at
normal prices, while smaller tracts
do even better.
There is another point that must
be emphasized this is not the
time for half-hearted attempts at
gardening. The slogan of this ma
ton wide movement is get in and
stay in. If you are not deter
mined to stick, don't start; but
before deciding consider carefully
what the decision may mean to
YOU ard yorr family next winter.
The food shortage will be felt most
next winter.
Remember it requires more
than talk and a few fve-cent pack
ages of garden seeds to make a
profitable backyard garden.
