SHE RAISES A GARDEN
FOR A LITTLE FRENCH ORPHAN
How One Moscow Woman Does Her
Bit in Spite of Heat, Drought and :
Potato Bugs

Mrs Burton l.. French is working
with wonderful zest to conserve the
food supply and to help the French
orphans at the same time. Mrs.
French has a beautiful garden of p
varieties of vegetables at the north
of town. The garden is large and it
is no slight matter to keep it up this
dry weather but Mrs. French argues
that if she can do that much to help
the country she must turn it to some
thing useful She is selling her veg
etables among her neighbors and US
ing the money to keep a little French
lad. Jean Bertin, from want over in
his home three miles south of Paris.
Many times the work on the garden
has been difficult and has completely
exhausted the gardener but she would
think of the boys in the trenches
across the ocean and the absolute use
lessness of them getting tired, and
the thought would spur her on to
work many hours more. The French
has behaved in a splend-
id manner concerning the children OF
the war widows by not allowing them
to be separated from their mothers.
