Truck Patch Like a Woman,

He humorously remarks that the
raising of truck is somewhat like a
woman-won't stand for being neg
lected." Mr.. Alleys letter follows:
Your movement in regard to back
yard gardening is a good one and
should be considered and encouraged by
al. F5r three years have cultivated my
back yard with good results as later will
show. There is enough waste land in
Washington to raise more vegetables than
the entire population could possibly
consume. | want to say, though, right
here, that simply scratching in some
seeds is not going to give satisfactory
results. The raising of 'tr uck' is some
thing like a woman-Won't stand for
being neglected. When it needs work
if you put it off to go to the ball game
or up the river fishing you Will soon
find that the garden has failed to pro-
duce what YOU expected. l have a
friend who never planted a seed until
last year, but on my advice and under
my instructions. given at different
times. he raised nearly all his vegeta-
bles last year on small back ward
To all those who are new in this line
! would say. frst, if you are going into
this profitable pastime don't do it unless
you are willing to do some real, genuine
hard work. for it is to be done if you
produce what should be got from the
land. And you must do this work when
it is needed If your beans need work
today don't put ii off till tomorrow, for
it may rain in the meantime. and then
if you work them while they have the
dew on them or are wet they will rust
like a nail. So close attention and work
must be given the little garden just as
if il were a real farm of truck. To all
those who want to see real garden, on
small lot. you are invited to look
mine over at any time after May l and
l will have one for any one to shoot at
or l miss my guess. To show what can
be achieved by close attention, work and
general knowledge of that line of busi-
ness. l give you an account of what
raised on my little plot of ground last
year. Two hundred and fifty pounds Of

SENATOR SEEKS
SOCIALIST SUPPORT
Tries to Get the Subscribers
of the Suppressed
Leader"

Washington Oct Ex-senator La Fol
lette's propaganda in favor of a popular
ratification of his anti-war record in Con
gress is progressing under high pressure
according to information reaching the
special sub committee of the privileges
and elections committee of the Senate
having in charge the investigation of his
st. Paul speech against the administra-
tons war policy.
| The special committee has taken re.
cess until Nov 20, but meanwhile it will
privately conduct the investigation which
La Follette's unwillngness to testify
last Tuesday has necessitated. After the
meeting last Tuesday at which La Fol-
lette surprised everyone in Washington
who knows him by refusing to talk the
committee visited the state department
and there reviewed the data on the ques-
his st. Paul speech.
Since that time the committee men,
bers have been slowly collecting and col
lating evidence. The most remarkable
piece of responsible information thus far
received came to hand Thursday The
committee received information from
Milwaukee that in his own state Senator
La Toilette, through his magazine, La
Follette's Weekly, is conducting busy
campaign of proseyting The committee
is informed that when the Milwaukee
Leader, Socialist and anti-war publ
cation issued at Milwaukee and edited
by former Congressman Victor Berger,
was barred from the mails by order of
the postofiice department Milwaukee So
cialists held a prodigious mass meeting
in protest
This gave La Toilette his chance. All
through the meeting hall and all around
the outskirts the La Toilette subscription
agents worked the crowd With The
Leader forced out of business the need
for an organ to represent the Socialists
was the argument presented; and moth
ing better represents the views of the
antiwar party now organizing in the
Northwest with La Toilette for its bell !

a close watch on the La Toilette publ |
cation to see how its editorial policy |

publication for which il is offered by its /

U-BOATS SEEING
FOOD CARGOES
Giant Submarines Loading Their Holds
with Provisions Before Sinking
Their Victims, Embassies
Report.

Washington, Oct. 20.--Germany's giant
U-boats are now robbing food ships OF
their cargoes, slowing these within their
holds and then sinking the unfortunate
victim "spurlos yersenkt."
This is the newest development of I'M
dersea warfare, according to confidential
embassy reports yesterday. Using new
1900 ton vessels, apparently in pairs, the
Germans are operating off the beaten
track, apparently several hundred miles
outside the old danger zone around Great
Britain and France
Numerous cargo ships have recently
been listed as missing The newer
U-boats are sufficiently large to per-
nit stowage of large portion of a cap
tured cargo. Because of this capacity
the trade board has been reluctant about
sending out cargoes for European neu-
trail ports.
This also explains why merchant ships
now require heavy conveys for protec-
ton. These conveys explain much of the
apparent difficulty Germany and Aus
tria are now having with their subma-
rine fleets.
Two mutinies reported Thursday com
ing atop another announced last week
indicate that Teuton seamen, despite iron
discipline, are unneryed by the anti-sub-
marine work of the allies and America
and are fearful of the unknown perils
many U-boats have encountered with
out returning.
