Familiar as are big figures in wartime the
estimate of $780, 900 worth Of American
garden produce this year is impressive inns Is
one-third of the national debt last April 1t
equals the normal yearly revenue of Japan or
British India. 1t is SIT for every family OF live

AS fine vegetables as anywhere have been
raised in New York City by people who never
had touched hoe. The waste of garden SEEDS IS
slight; of flower seeds fewer than usual were
sold. In some cases too expensive equipment was
procured, but the surplus will be available next
year. Flat-dwellers' allotment gardens nave
proved not only educative but practical.
Villages have walked up like the cities, and ON
most farms twice as much ground as usual was
given to small crops. There should be no lack OF
table vegetables in any section for, except in the
Rocky Mountains and the South, Missouri is the
only State that failed to double it's garden area.

but even the Eastern States, with their vast city

Five Billion Dollars More

Gradually the extent of Americas partlclpa-
ton in the war is dawning upon the American
consciousness.
Five billion dollars is the sum Secretary NC
Adoo is asking to help cover the cost OF the stu
pendous war program of the government Ad-
ministration plans call for an army of 100000
men in France by the spring of 1918.
Members of the senate finance committee
were startled when the secretary OF the treasury
appeared before them to press his claims for this
vast sum.
The average American, unacquanted with
the details Of the war program, gasped for
breath when he read the announcement.
And yet, John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist for
the Chicago Tribune, expressed true sentiment
in his drawing, 1T will cost lot more If we
lose"
We might just as well keep that observation
in our minds now, prepare for tremendous none
tary sacrifices and awful human losses.
This war will be no picnic or duck hunting ex-
petition 1t will mean frightful losses.
Men who have deceived themselves into be-
leving that they would escape the selective draft
on flmsy excuses will find themselves up against
q grim reality before the examining boards are
through with the list.
Few will be excused. Uncle Sam has grit his
teeth and is going about the selection in grim
and determined manner that presages the taking
of many young man who up to this time has
believed himself exempt.
Patriotism is being put to the test Wordy

mouthings of patriotic sentiment will have to be

Coethals and Denman

It is to be regretted that Maj. Gen. Goetnals'
builder If the Panama canal, had to become in
volved in a controversy with lawyer TO sucn an
extent that he felt it duty to hand IN MS
resignation as manager of the emergency 1leet
corporation Denman acted on the president
request that he step out.
The American people need not take the Incl
dent to heart with too much seriousness. 1rea1
Britain France and Germany have gone through
the same experience. Others in the United STATES
will resign in the future. We will nave loenti-
cay the same disturbances that the otner Del
ligerents have had before we get down TO an Ell
ficient and highly standardized method OF con-
Quoting the war.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair
,st SOAPS and prepared shampoos

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkai, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most expen-
sive soaps or any thing else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy iather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh-looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy. and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.-Adv.

THOUGHTS TO THINK

When men think kindly of

of peace is a permanent heaven.
Danger ceases to be a terror
to the courageous; without cour-

suffers from the fear that has
not yet harmed him.
Mistakes are made when we
dare, but more frequently when
we don't care; caution is the
cure for the evil of our course,

The Importance of preparedness in any
matter is illustrated by the outcome of
the town meeting Saturday evening with
relation to the proposed improvements
in the vicinity of South Main and Ca
nal streets. When this article came up
for consideration someone promptly
moved its dismissal, but the motion to
dismiss was lost by a small but dis
cernible margin. Then was the time
when somebody should have been on his
feet with resolution proposing the
appropriation needed to accomplish the
work outlined in the warrant. Had such
a resolution been offered it would have
been passed by practically the same
margin which defeated the previous mo-
ton, but for some reason or other it did
not appear ard the article was finally
disposed of i'll a way that leaves the
whole proposition about where it stood
before. While the outcome doubtless
| is not unsatisfactory to good many
people it must be rather annoying tic
those who were in favor of the project
to know that it failed simply through
| lack of little forethought.
