Through the action of our United
States Senators, number of copies of q
pamphlet issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture have been
received by the Democrat. The pam
phlet Is entitled, "The Small Vegetable
Garden; Suggestions for Utilizing Small
areas, and is issued as farmers bulle-
I'D eIS. II contains some over forty
pages, and while much of it is elemen-
a'y instruction, many people can learn
something from it. Copies of this PAM
polet may De bad free at the Democrat
once as long as the supply lasts. If
nailed, two-cent stamp will be neces-
aly
Amid all the shortages which the pres
snt disturbed conditions have caused, Ii
slndlested that there will be, another
Gil, a shortage of teachers; indeed, the
shortage has already been felt, not only
Sashght extent in this town, but even
IGe state educational department, with
AZ 'ne resources at its command, has
0een unable to secure teachers for some
cuOOls which the state maintains in un-
Incorporated places. This condition Is
a1uiooted to the fact that the young
women who have been teaching are GO
us INTO offices to take the place Of the
aen who have enlisted, and this condi-
sOn IS likely to grow more serious from
VIC standpoint of the school authorities.
