TILNG TRUCK FARM
Sergt. Jack Bennett Prays for Rain
When Fellows Want Clear Sky.

The H. C. Of L. won't AFFECT police
men stationed at the Eighth precinct
this season. The officers will get their
garden truck free of charge.
Sergt Jack Bennett, in charge OF
the patrol wagon, has arranged all
this. In addition to his other duties,
Sergeant Bennett has assumed the
role Of chief gardener in charge Of
the truck farm at the station.
Sergeant Bennett is skilled tiller
of the soil. He has planted corn,
peas, and cabbage In the vacant space
adjacent TO the station house. The
corn and cabbage are doing nicely,
but the sparrows have been after the
peas.
The entire side yard at the sta
tion and the yard in the rear are in
excellent condition as q result OF the
efforts of Sergeant Bennett.
The only source Of discord at the
station is that Sergeant Bennett Is
constantly praying for rain, while
others OF the bluecoats prefer dry
weather.
