Benefit to Health, Is Claim.

William F. GUIDE, who had been unable
TO attend previous meetings because of
other engagements commended the work
that had been done and urged that stress

Simplicity of Methods, Topic.

In a foreword, the departmeI points
out the comparative simplicity of gar
dening methods and outlines the es-
sentials as follows:
"By the exercise of care and fore
thought in planning succession crops
and rotations and by the utilization OF
every foot of availa BILE space it is pos
sihIe to grow considerable quantities of
vegetables on limited areas and so sup
plement the family food supply. The
principal factors in accomplishing this
are the use OF seed boxes and hotbedS
to give plants an early start in spring
before seeds may be planted outdoors,
the use of outside seedbeds to carry
plants for main-SeaSon crops while
early crops are occupying the garden
space, and the planting of late or sue
cession crops as soon as earlier plants
have been removed

Two members of the crew of a French

of their compatriots. they detached them
selves from the larger group, and, wan

hesitated before the guarded gates of
the White House until the policemen on
duty received a message from Rudolph
Forster, acting secretary to the Presi-
dent, that permission was granted to
admit the strangers.
Regarded as Stupendous Luck.
The French man-owars men, although
themselves natives of republic and
citizens of a democratic form of govern
ment, could not at first believe that they
had stumbled upon such stupendous
sightSeer's luck as to have opened for
them the very portals of the White House
of which they had heard, and, with char
acteristic modesty. would not enter until
assured that the President was not about
and that they would not be in the way.
Mr.. Forster himself personally escorted
the visitors through the private office of
the President and the cabinet room. Their
interest in the big war maps marked
with red and black disks showing the
French front, was profound, and their
surprise was dramatic when they saw
maps prepared by the French general
staff showing Verdun in detail.

When the River Closed

The closing of navigation this fall IF )duced nothing of a spectacular na- ture. All the boats belonging to this port were high and dry on the ways be there was danger from floating ice, and all the freight shipments had been landed from the lower river. Large fields of ice passed along in slow pro cession for nearly two weeks until the very crimpy weather of last Saturday and Sunday called halt. What is To- cally accepted as the ''closing" of the river was last Sunday morning, Octo- Der 28, when Sam Applebaum crossed the stream on the ice afoot, with many a furtve glance and cautious step. It is safe to venture the assertion that wa gers on the interesting event may be settled upon this very reasonable hypo- thesis.
