THIEVES IN CONVENTION

PetrOgrad. A mass meeting Of
thieves was recently held at Rostoff-

new freedom and chance to turn over
new leaf. The chief of the local mi
l1t1a and the president and several
members Of the Council of Workmen's

invitation. ~ -.
Practically all trenches Of the pro.
fession of thievery were represented,
and several of the most accomplished
members made speeches in which they
outlined the difficulties confronting
them and declared that it was impossi-
bic to return to honest pursuits with
out the help and support of the COM
munity. The speakers complained that
recently the population had risen
against them and in some instances
went so far as to lynch some of their
brothers.
Chief of Militia Ralmikof asked for
help and support by the people in aid
ing the efforts of the thieves at refor-
nation. One Of the bystanders CON-
planned that he had been relieved of
his purse containing rubles. The
thieves roundly protested that it was
not the work Of professional and took
up a collection to reimburse the victim.

GREAT AMERICAN GAME
THIS YEAR, GARDENING
Postal Card to Your Congressman Will
Bring You Abundant Seed.

Washington. The great American
game Of 1917 is going to be gardening.
By midsummer anybody over eight
years old who hasn't learned how. to
raise foOdstuffs on whatever land hap
pens to be handy will feel as lonely as
a tourist in foreign land who can't
speak the language, says Reinette
Lovewell of the Vigilantes.
Villagers especially are interested,
and little back yard plots that have
hitherto yielded only a dozen Or so
radishes, a few anaemic tomatoes and
a crop Of sunf1owers are going to be
real gardens this year, even If the
clothesline has to come down and the
hydrangea tub be moved around to the
front of the house.
Potatoes, turnips and cabbages will
be stored away for winter use and
peas, string beans, corn, tomatoes and
lima beans canned. Nowadays there
need be no worry about the jinx in the
Jars that used to make fruit and vege-
tables spoil. The department Of agri-

rections for successful canning that
with the wash boiler and supply of
glass Jars ten-year-old Susie can put
up" enough fruit and vegetables to see
the whole family through until spring.
A little bit Of ground in the back
yard, properly prepared, planted and
tended, will scare Friend Wolf and old
Mr.. High Cost Of Living away from the
front door in hurry. Fruit and vege-
tables are the healthiest sort of diet
anyway, and with -four and "shorten-
ing" soaring to unheard Of prices, can
ned fruits make an appetizing substi-
tute for cakes and pies.
A postal card to your congressman
requesting seeds will bring an abundant
supply in the mail, and the experts at
Washington are glad to send practical
advice about how to make these seeds
yield real eatable crops.
The great American game of 1917, as
we said, is going to be gardening.

ernments and peoples" r
Among the 300 members present
were many Of the most prominent men
In Japanese public life. Viscount Ka-
neko, ex-minister Of justice, presided
and the principal speech was made by
Baron Goto, ex-minister of commune
cations.
Baron Goto said: There are few
questions of such vital moment to the
welfare of mankind as the relations Of
Japan and the United States. The era
Of the Pacific promises to surpass that
Of the Mediterranean or the Atlantic.
All the forces Of the east and west
will meet. VIII they unite or clash?
L believe it lies in the power Of the
United States and Japan to answer
that question, on which the future
happiness and progress of the world
will depend. For this reason the re-
lations between Japan and the Unit
ed States are Of supreme Importance.
With the awful responsibility that
they owe to mankind, will Japan and
the United States work hand in hand
or will they turn their backs on each
other? I hope the two nations will
find principles on which to base abid-
ing relations of mutual trust and con-
fldence"

WOMAN PLAYED HEROIC
PART IN THE CIVIL WAR
Gave Husband and Sons and
While They Were Away Dill
gently Cultivated Plantation.

Charleston, s. C.-During the first
days Of that most lamentable conflict
that we now know as the civil war a
little woman in this state gave her
husband and their four grown sons to
fight for the cause that to her seemed
just. She was not belligerent; she was
brave. A few years later a neighbor
brought her word that all but the
youngest boy had been killed, says
Hapsburg Liebe Of the Vigilantes.
"You shouldn't have sent them ALL"
said this neighbour. You should have
kept two of those boys at home''
IF I had dozen to send 1 would
have sent them," the little woman re-
piled very readily, very calmly. "And
1 know that my men went down in
their boots, doing distinguished service.
You see, know my men,"
At the end Of the war the youngest
boy returned. He was a captain, and
not a captain merely by courtesy. As
he rode through the old plantation he
saw to his intense surprise that it was
in a fair state Of cultivation and that
foodstuffs had taken the place Of COT
ton. He had expected to find those
broad acres filed with weeds and bri-
ars. As soon as he had proudly greet
ed his mother and been in turn proudly
greeted by her, he spoke of this.
"That was my part" she told him.
"You couldn't fight without having
something to eat, could you?"
It was then that he noted the marks
Of toll on her hands, and he knew that
the faithful old negroes had not done
all the hard work. He brought his heels
together in the military fashion and
lifted his hand to the rim of his hat.
Mother" he said, not very steadily,
Il salute you, the greatest soldier of
us all !"

AFTERNOON TEA OF
.BR|T0h THREATENED
City of London Alone Serves Mil
lion Teas a Day Seven, Days
a Week.

London. One of England's most
cherished institutions was menaced
with destruction in the nation wide
crisis over shortage Of breadstuffs. It
Is the afternoon tea, not the beverage,
but the institution itself.
Lord Devonport's declaration as food
controller that the one meatless day a
week had been a failure because of
British tendency to. replace flesh food
with breadstuffs and his warning that
ratloning might be near unless there
was an immediate reduction in con-
sumption Of bread and cake brought
about the crisis on the afternoon tea
question.
From the food controllers Office it
was declared that If everybody in
England ate two ounces less of bread
each day the food problem would prob
ably be solved. At least that amount
Of bread or cake is consumed in Eng
lands fourth meal every afternoon.
Some bold spirits In England have al
ready been writing to the Times sug-
costing abandonment Of tea, but the
idea Is revolutionary. 49, ~.
London alone serves million teas a
day seven days week. The trains
from Liverpool to London stop at
Leeds-for tea-and this despite short
age Of cars and power and necessity Of
speedy transportation. Business houses
throughout England halt work for tea.
Tea shops every afternoon resemble the
morning rush on the New York subway.
Lord Devonport's most recent appeal
for bread saving declared picturesquely
that every loaf saved is as valuable as
q shell. 5-[
